Available recipes:

    check-convergence testnet='cardano-node-releases' # check convergence of nodes in a testnet
    default                                         # just this help message
    down testnet='cardano-node-releases'              # stop a testnet
    exec container testnet='cardano-node-releases'    # exec into a container
    logs container testnet='cardano-node-releases'    # view logs of a container
    ps testnet='cardano-node-releases'                # list containers in a testnet
    restart testnet='cardano-node-releases'           # restart a testnet
    up testnet='cardano-node-releases'                # start a testnet

Running locally

Run the testnet locally before submitting to Antithesis to verify containers start and the chain converges:

# Start
just up

# Verify all containers are running
just ps

# Watch chain progress
just logs tracer-sidecar

# Stop and clean up volumes
just down

The justfile wraps docker compose commands. All images must be available locally (built) or published to ghcr.io.

Available testnets

  • cardano-node-releases: Mixed-version testnet with producers, relays, tracer observability, Asteria Plutus workload pressure, and tx-generator ADA-transfer pressure
  • cardano-node-releases-fast: The same cluster with 5000 s epochs, so a run crosses epoch boundaries
