## Configuration Files Created

### Besu Configuration Templates

1. **`smom-dbis-138/config/config-rpc-4.toml`** - Ali's RPC node (2503)
2. **`smom-dbis-138/config/config-rpc-luis-8a.toml`** - Luis's RPC node (2505)
3. **`smom-dbis-138/config/config-rpc-luis-1.toml`** - Luis's RPC node (2506)
4. **`smom-dbis-138/config/config-rpc-putu-8a.toml`** - Putu's RPC node (2507)
5. **`smom-dbis-138/config/config-rpc-putu-1.toml`** - Putu's RPC node (2508)

**Key Features:**
- Discovery disabled (prevents connection to Ethereum mainnet while reporting chainID 0x1 to MetaMask for wallet compatibility)
- Standardized paths: `/var/lib/besu/static-nodes.json` and `/var/lib/besu/permissions/permissioned-nodes.json`
- Permissioned access configuration
- JWT authentication ready

---

## Scripts Created/Updated

### 1. Main Configuration Script

**File:** `scripts/configure-besu-chain138-nodes.sh`

**Purpose:** Comprehensive script that:
- Collects enodes from all Besu nodes (validators, sentries, RPC)
- Generates `static-nodes.json` and `permissioned-nodes.json`
- Deploys configurations to all Besu containers (including 2503-2508)
- Configures discovery settings (disabled for RPC nodes 2503-2508)
- Restarts Besu services

**Updated VMIDs:** Now includes 2503-2508 in processing loops

### 2. Verification Script

**File:** `scripts/verify-chain138-config.sh`

**Purpose:** Verifies configuration deployment:
- Checks file existence
- Validates discovery settings
- Verifies peer connections

**Updated VMIDs:** Now includes 2503-2508 in verification

### 3. Quick Setup Script

**File:** `scripts/setup-new-chain138-containers.sh`

**Purpose:** Quick setup for new containers:
- Runs main configuration script
- Verifies new containers
- Checks discovery settings

**Updated VMIDs:** Now includes 2503-2508 in setup

## Key Features

### 1. Complete Isolation

- Each operator has separate containers
- Each identity has its own dedicated container
- No shared infrastructure between operators
- Complete access separation

### 2. JWT Authentication

- **All RPC containers require JWT authentication**
- Nginx reverse proxy configuration
- Token-based access control
- Identity-level permissioning

### 3. Discovery Control

- **Discovery disabled** for all new RPC nodes (2503-2508)
- Prevents connection to Ethereum mainnet while reporting chainID 0x1 to MetaMask (wallet compatibility feature)
- Ensures nodes only connect via static/permissioned lists

### 4. Standardized Configuration

- Consistent file paths across all nodes
- Standardized configuration templates
- Automated deployment scripts

## Quick Start

### 1. Run Main Configuration

```bash
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
./scripts/configure-besu-chain138-nodes.sh
```

This will:
1. Collect enodes from all nodes
2. Generate configuration files
3. Deploy to all containers (including new ones)
4. Configure discovery settings
5. Restart services

### 2. Verify Configuration

```bash
./scripts/verify-chain138-config.sh
```

### 3. Set Up New Containers

```bash
./scripts/setup-new-chain138-containers.sh
```

## Network Configuration

### IP Address Allocation

- **2504** (besu-rpc-4): 192.168.11.254
- **2505** (besu-rpc-luis): 192.168.11.255
- **2506** (besu-rpc-luis): 192.168.11.256
- **2507** (besu-rpc-putu): 192.168.11.257
- **2508** (besu-rpc-putu): 192.168.11.258
- **6201** (firefly-2): 192.168.11.67

### Port Configuration

- **P2P**: 30303 (all Besu nodes)
- **RPC HTTP**: 8545 (all RPC nodes)
- **RPC WebSocket**: 8546 (all RPC nodes)
- **Metrics**: 9545 (all Besu nodes)

## Security Considerations

1. **JWT Authentication**: All RPC containers require JWT tokens
2. **Access Isolation**: Complete separation between operators
3. **Network Isolation**: Firewall rules restrict access
4. **Identity Separation**: Each identity has dedicated container
5. **Discovery Control**: Disabled for RPC nodes to prevent network issues
