How to develop an OrcaPod

Objective

The purpose of this guide is to show how to integrate ORCA with Koii. Basically we will be focusing and simplifying so that developer can come to this guide, they can start developing and running KOII-ORCA task.

Prerequisites

Install the KOII CLI

To interact with the K2 locally, you need to install the Koii CLI. Click here to follow the instructions.

Create a Koii Wallet

Koii supports a file system wallet that can be used to interface directly with the Koii command-line tools.

info

A file system wallet, aka an FS wallet, is a directory in your computer’s file system. Each file in the directory holds a keypair.

Source Solana

To generate a file system wallet keypair, use Koii’s command-line tool koii-keygen. Run the following command:

koii-keygen new --outfile ~/.config/koii/id.json

warning

This file contains your unencrypted keypair, protect this file as it grants access to all tokens sent to its public key. Do not distribute the file; share only the public key to maintain security.

The public key of the keypair file is your wallet address. To display your public key, run:

koii address

It will return a string of characters like:

2kG7HNGGZHZPhdbHNzvQNQUjNNNNiQvxshLu47UvnpBq

Congratulations! You now have a Koii wallet, Next, let’s airdrop some KOII in your wallet. Click Here

Clone repository

Clone task-template github repository from the given Link
Navigate to the task-template folder
Create a new directory

sudo mkdir -p config/koiii

Copy the id.json to the config/koii

sudo cp ~/.config/koii/id.json config/koii

Web3Storage API Token

You’ll be required to add your web3.storage API key, visit here to create a web3.storage account. After creating an account, create an API Token for your project, paste the API token on this prompt

Edit the config-task.yaml

Replace the value of the given keys

task_name - anything according to you
task_execution_network - Should be DEVELOPMENT
task_audit_program_id - main

# Name and metadata of your task
task_name: "cd-demo-task"

# network value can be DEVELOPMENT , ARWEAVE or IPFS, Recommended IPFS as the cli automatically takes care of uploading the executable with the help of web3.js key
task_executable_network: "DEVELOPMENT"
# Path to your executable webpack if the selected network is IPFS otherwise leave blank
task_audit_program: ""
# Total round time of your task : it must be given in slots and each slot is rougly equal to 4ms
round_time: 500
audit_window: 200

# Amounts in KOII
minimum_stake_amount: 2
# total_bounty_amount cannot be grater than bounty_amount_per_round
# total bounty is not accepted in case of update task
total_bounty_amount: 10
bounty_amount_per_round: 1
#Number of times allowed to re-submit the distribution  list in case the distribution list is audited
allowed_failed_distributions: 3
#Space in MBs for the account size, that holds the task data
space: 1
# Note that the value field in RequirementTag is optional, so it is up to you to include it or not based on your use case.
# To add more global variables and task variables, please refer the type,value,description format shown below
requirementsTags:
  - type: CPU
    value: "4-core"
  - type: RAM
    value: "5 GB"
  - type: STORAGE
    value: "5 GB"
  - type: NETWORK
    value: "testnet"
  - type: ARCHITECTURE
    value: "M1"
  - type: OS
    value: "OSX"
# OPTIONAL variables below
# OPTIONAL Only provide the taskId if you are updating the task otherwise leave blank
task_id: ""
# OPTIONAL only Provide your transaction ID in case of ARWEAVE and in case of DEVELOPMENT give your executable name as main otherwise leave blank
task_audit_program_id: "main"

Create the Koii Task

info

Make sure nodeJS must be install in your system.

Run the following command to create the task:

npx @_koii/create-task-cli

Integrate Orca-Pulse with Koii and create Simple task

Install Orca-pulse

It is basically JS NPM package. Which used to communicate with ORCA.

npm i orca-pulse

Creating an instance of orca-pulse

Import orca-pulse in the index.js

const { OrcaPulse } = require('orca-pulse')

Create an instance of orca-pulse in the index.js inside setup function.

const orcaPulse = new OrcaPulse()
await orcaPulse.initialize(
    'userContainerImageUrl',
    'taskId',
    'OrcaUrl',
    'certificate' //Optinal, Need to pass when ORCA is running with SSL Mode.
    )

Create simple-task.js

class SimpleTask {
    constructor(orcaPulse) {
        this.start(orcaPulse)
    }
    async start(orcaPulse) {
        orcaPulse.podCall('collect', {
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            body: {
                'datatype': 'blocks',
                'start_block': '100000',
                'end_block': '100005',
                'rpc_url': "https://internal.ethereum.n.chaindeck.io/278e1b2ab91f2ca96f7b8761bf65b9b2"
            },
        }).then(collect => {
            console.log("etl data", collect)
        }).catch(err => {
            console.log("error is in collect podcall", err)
        })
    }
}
module.exports = SimpleTask

Make change in CoreLogic.js

Import the simple-task

const SimpleTask = require('./simple-task');

Create instance of the simple task class

 const result = await new SimpleTask(orcaPulse)

Edit .env.local file

Replace the value of the Given keys

Compile the task

After you’ve created a task using the K2 task template as a guide, you’ll need to compile it with Webpack into a single executable file. Open up your terminal, and in the directory of your task:

Install all dependencies

yarn

Compile code

yarn webpack

You should see a new directory /dist. Your compiled executable is located in /dist/main.js

That’s it! You’ve successfully compiled your task into a single executable file.

Run the task

Make sure you are in the task-template location Run task-template using docker compose

docker compose up
