Repo Structure

Our infra-external repo intro and structure

First step is then to clone our infra-external github repo locally and cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/switchboard-xyz/infra-external
cd infra-external

This repository structure is divided into three main areas:

infra-external/
│
├── README.md
│
├── cfg/
│   │
│   ├── 00-common-vars.cfg
│   ├── 00-devnet-vars.cfg
│   └── 00-mainnet-vars.cfg
│
├── data/
│   │
│   ├── devnet_payer.json
│   └── mainnet_payer.json
│
└── install/
    │
    ├── bare-metal/
    │   ├── docker/
    │   │   └── ... scripts ...
    │   └── kubernetes/
    │       └── ... scripts ...
    │
    └── cloud/
        └── azure/
            └── ... scripts ...

These areas serve as follows:

• cfg/: Contains configuration files for two environments, devnet and mainnet plus a shared one called common that contains shared variables that apply to both. You may want to backup this directory at least once or every time you change its content.

• data/: Holds essential data files like devnet_payer.json and mainnet_payer.json needed for setting up the Oracles. May be populated by other directories after setup. You may want to backup this directory at least once or every time you change its content.

• install/: Includes scripts for setting up Oracles, separated into bare-metal and cloud environments. This directory can be ignored during backups and will change often.

• README.md: it's the README file for the repo, in Markdown format.

Continue to the next section where we'll take care of the configuring files.
