  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ethereum2-docker-compose

    Discontinued Run different kind of Ethereum 2 staking nodes with monitoring tools and own Ethereum 1 node out of the box!

    You can have a look at this exact setup here: https://github.com/stereum-dev/ethereum2-docker-compose/tree/master/compose-examples/multiclient-vouch-dirk and here's a guide to set it up: https://stereum.net/stake-on-multiple-clients/

  • eth2-signer-api

    Vouch also has an open API to talk to Dirk, at https://github.com/wealdtech/eth2-signer-api/ so anyone can create an alternative to Vouch with similar functionality if they wish. And Vouch is stateless when working with a remote signer such as Dirk: this again keeps the code footprint down, and allows multiple instances of Vouch to run at the same time on different servers, or in a fast failover mode, without slashing risk.
