New Golem Network - Light Bounty #1

Compile VIM On Single Golem Node

Your task is to build a VIM binary inside image running on top of the Golem Network and then run it on your native machine.

Requirements

• Python3 + Pip
• Docker + Compose + Machine + Virtualbox (MacOS case)
• yagna - requestor
• gvmkit-build
• yapapi

Obligatory Steps

• you’ve built a docker image that compiles VIM
• you’ve converted this image into a Golem VM image
• you’ve run it on devnet-alpha.2 network using our Python high-level API
• you’ve successfully run the compiled binary on your native machine

Instructions

• install requirements
• create a virtualenv
• activate virtualenv
• install gvmkit-build and yapapi via pip
• build and tag the Dockerfile
• build and push the tagged image using gvmkit-build
• copy the generated hash link and paste it into IMAGE_HASH inside vim-gvm.py
• run yagna service in a standalone terminal
• on another terminal, initialize the yagna payment and wait for faucet and tx
• once the account is registered, create a requestor
• note the output key and export it as the YAGNA_APPKEY environment variable
• run vim-gvm.py
• wait a couple of minutes for VIM to compile into your machine
• turn the downloaded file into an executable via chmod
• open VIM :)

Commands Used

• pip install -U gvmkit-build yapapi
• docker build -t vim:v1 .
• gvmkit-build vim:v1
• gvmkit-build vim:v1 --push
• yagna service run
• yagna payment init -r
• yagna app-key create requestor
• export YAGNA_APPKEY={requestor_output}
• python3 vim-gvm.py
• chmod +x vim
• open vim || ./vim
