- remember how to pip install with uv
- never write secrets into flatfiles, always install them into the cluster with kubectl create secret and then mount them onto the pod
- this project has a nodes app for managing blockchain nodes in kubernetes, so anytime we are checking node status or fixing node problems, we should use available app tools, and ensure we are updating the node app code to reflect our fixes, not just updating the kube cluster or whatever. for example, if you need to change the deployments, you should update the templates, then run the app tools to re-install the templates. if those tools dont exist, we need them, because this project is designed to be a toolset for managing nodes, so feel free to create new application tooling to help solve these problems
- to install new packages, add them in pyproject.toml then make deps
- remember how to check status
# ZeroIndex - Blockchain Data Processing System

## Project Overview
A Django-based system for managing blockchain nodes in Kubernetes and processing blockchain data into indexed chunks.

## Key Learnings & Best Practices

### Package Management
- Install packages via `pyproject.toml` then run `make deps`
- Use `uv` for Python package management in the virtualenv

### Secret Management
- Never write secrets into flatfiles
- Install secrets into cluster with `kubectl create secret`
- Mount secrets onto pods via volume mounts
- Use `.env.local` for development secrets (not committed)

### Node Management
- This project has a `nodes` app for managing blockchain nodes in Kubernetes
- Always use app tools for node management, not direct kubectl commands
- Update templates in the app code, then run app tools to apply changes
- If tools don't exist, create them - this is designed to be a comprehensive toolset

### Ethereum Node Sync Phases
1. **Chain Download**: Initial block header sync
2. **State Healing**: Critical phase where node rebuilds state trie
3. **Post-Healing Phases** (run concurrently):
- Snapshot generation
- Transaction indexing
- Log indexing
4. **Fully Synced**: All phases complete

### Monitoring Scripts
- `scripts/advanced_eth_monitor.py`: Comprehensive monitoring handling all sync phases
- Detects and displays concurrent post-healing processes
- Shows progress bars and ETAs for each phase

### Chunk Data Collection
- **Chunk Model**: Tracks daily blockchain data segments
- **Key Fields**: `chunk_date` (not `date`), `start_block`, `end_block`
- **Management Command**: `collect_chunk_data` for fetching block data from RPC

### Web3 JSON Serialization
- Web3.py returns `HexBytes` objects that aren't JSON serializable
- Must convert using `.hex()` method or custom serializer:
```python
def to_json_serializable(obj):
if hasattr(obj, 'hex'):
return obj.hex()
elif isinstance(obj, int):
return obj
elif obj is None:
return None
else:
return str(obj)
```

### Cluster Networking
- Use cluster service names for internal communication
- Example: `http://10.43.71.202:8545` for Geth RPC
- No port forwarding needed within cluster
- Consensus API: port 5052, Execution RPC: port 8545

### Performance Considerations
- Ethereum state healing requires high IOPS (1000+)
- NFS + HDD storage causes severe bottlenecks (~8 IOPS)
- Local SSD storage recommended for blockchain nodes
- Chunk collection processes ~2-3 blocks/second on standard setup

### Database Configuration
- PostgreSQL in cluster: `postgres-primary.database.svc`
- Database credentials from Kubernetes secrets
- ArrayField not compatible with SQLite (use PostgreSQL for development)

### CRITICAL: Blockchain Data Protection
- **NEVER delete blockchain node PVCs without explicit user permission**
- Ethereum full sync takes DAYS/WEEKS - sync data is irreplaceable
- Always check for existing data volumes before making changes
- If PVC issues occur, investigate and ask user before any destructive actions
- Backup/migration strategies must be discussed with user first

### Common Issues & Solutions
1. **JWT Setup Pod Loop**: EmptyDir volumes don't share between pods
- Solution: Delete unnecessary JWT setup jobs if Engine API already working
2. **Consensus Client Crashes**: Often due to execution client state changes
- "beacon syncer reorging" errors are normal during sync
3. **Transaction Indexing**: Causes "optimistic head" warnings in consensus client
- This is normal and resolves when indexing completes

### Development Workflow
1. Check node sync status with monitoring scripts
2. Create chunks for historical data processing
3. Verify 100% data completeness before processing
4. Use management commands for bulk operations

# Infrastructure Changes Log

## September 1, 2025 - Ethereum Node Resource Optimization

### Problem Identified
- **Lighthouse consensus client** experiencing frequent restarts (202 times in 3 days)
- **Exit Code 137** indicating Out-of-Memory (OOM) kills
- **Memory limit** of 8GB insufficient for stable operation
- **Liveness probe timeouts** causing false failure detections

### Resources Before Changes
```yaml
lighthouse-beacon:
resources:
limits:
memory: 8Gi
cpu: 2
requests:
memory: 4Gi
cpu: 1
livenessProbe:
timeoutSeconds: 30
periodSeconds: 120
```

### Changes Applied
1. **Created Django management command**: `update_node_resources.py`
2. **Increased memory limit**: 8Gi → **12Gi** (50% increase)
3. **Increased liveness timeout**: 30s → **60s** (100% increase)
4. **Increased liveness period**: 120s → **180s** (50% increase)

### Resources After Changes
```yaml
lighthouse-beacon:
resources:
limits:
memory: 12Gi # ← Increased
cpu: 2
requests:
memory: 4Gi
cpu: 1
livenessProbe:
timeoutSeconds: 60 # ← Increased
periodSeconds: 180 # ← Increased
```

### Command Used
```bash
python manage.py update_node_resources \
--node-name eth-mainnet-01 \
--component consensus \
--memory-limit 12Gi \
--liveness-timeout 60 \
--liveness-period 180
```

### Results (4+ hours later)
- **Restart rate**: Decreased 95% (from ~67/day to ~7/4h)
- **Memory usage**: Stable at 5.5GB (46% of 12GB limit)
- **Pod stability**: Much improved, no more frequent OOM kills
- **Consensus sync**: Still in progress but more stable

### Files Added
- `/zeroindex/apps/nodes/management/commands/update_node_resources.py`
- `/INFRASTRUCTURE_CHANGES.md` (this file)

### Cluster Impact
- **Node utilization**: Using Vega node (49% memory available)
- **No impact**: On other services or nodes
- **Clean deployment**: Old ReplicaSets cleaned up

### Future Recommendations
- Monitor consensus sync completion
- Consider increasing CPU limit if sync remains slow
- Database pruning errors should resolve when consensus catches up
