Change Network Passphrase - Quickstart - Persistent - Docker

Question

I am trying to change the network passphrase for stellar. I am using the quickstart docker image and launching in standalone mode.

command:

docker run --rm -it -p "8000:8000" -v "E:\Google Drive\Actual Projects\Stellar:/opt/stellar" --name stellar stellar/quickstart --standalone

I've tried editing all the available config file in "E:\Google Drive\Actual Projects\Stellar" etc subdirectories.

However when doing so errors are produced and it seems to not actually change the key.

for instancing after changing the key I get the following:

PS C:\Users\Isaac> docker run --rm -it -p "8000:8000" -v "E:\Google Drive\Actual Projects\Stellar:/opt/stellar" --name stellar stellar/quickstart --standalone

network: standalone (Standalone Network ; February 2017) is still showing as the key though I have changed multiple files.

Any help on how to setup this up with my desired key would be greatly appreciated!

Same error as here: FATAL when switching from test network to public network on stellar-core

No fix provided at that link either.

Some other tings I've tried:

Updating the stellar conf in the HOME directory when I exec into the docker image.

running stellar-core new-db

and stellar-core new-hist

UPDATE:

Okay so after editing the conf files. and running the above commands

I still see the old network key show in the PS log but the actualt log files for the staller docker imagine have the following:

so It seems I have either caused more issues and haven't hit the network keys not matched error or I'm passed that and hitting a corrupt with the buckets. Though I don't know what that would be or how to fix it. I can also delete the mounted directory contents and go back to square one if needed. Though I have done that many time now as well.

Answer 1

I think you just forgot to update the Docker's image start file that contains the following:

export NETWORK_PASSPHRASE="Standalone Network ; February 2017"

As you did a bunch of other experiments, it's probably better to rebuild the container from scratch after editing the passphrase.

Answer 2

Maybe this is late but i hope it could help someone To run stand alone with custom PassPhrase you could follow this step:

First edit you PassPhrase in start file

  standalone)
export NETWORK_PASSPHRASE="Your Network ; August 2022"
# h1570ry - we'll start a webserver connected to history directory later on
export HISTORY_ARCHIVE_URLS="http://localhost:1570"
;;

When you change your passPhrase, you will get a new root account keypair, this keypair is show in stellar-core log. So you should config stellar-core log file, so that you can get this pair. Open standalone/core/etc/stellar-core.cfg and add this line:

LOG_FILE_PATH="/tmp/stellar-core.log"

Build your docker image then start it.

You will get your key in your stellar-core.log like this

[Ledger INFO] Root account: GCIU65HD4IDCKFEFRMJTAP735YGD3GXEBDBYPTUEAJEWSJNNQ35EC4EO
[Ledger INFO] Root account seed: SCXLX6VZXRKTFLMIUKUR253DCZMCOAYQ45ZFFSZZG6ELTC5EZ7GJDVY2

If you want to use friendbot (if you want to run production you maynot need it) you can update you firend bot config with new PassPhrase and this new account Seed.
