Automatic .env and nodes.md Script for Farmerbot (.sh and .py)

#1

Hey farmers,

Some of you asked for simpler ways to set the Farmerbot. With this in mind, we present here a script to write the .env and nodes.md files.

This is an ongoing work. Please share your ideas and feedback if you have any.

All the steps are on this link: https://github.com/Mik-TF/farmerbot-script
You should double-check the files once the script is done.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Note: This isn’t an official script from Threefold. It might become an official one later. Who knows?

Steps to Create the Files

  • Create a folder to store the script and the files 
    • cd ~

    • mkdir -p farmerbot_script && cd "$_" || exit
  • Download the script
    • Bash version 
      • wget -O farmerbot_script.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mik-TF/farmerbot-script/main/farmerbot_script.sh
    • Python version 
      • wget -O farmerbot_script.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mik-TF/farmerbot-script/main/farmerbot_script.py
  • Set the permissions to run the script
    • Bash version 
      • chmod +x farmerbot_script.sh
    • Python version

    • Bash version 
      • ./farmerbot_script.sh
    • Python version 
      • python farmerbot_script.py
  • Enter the values asked
  • The .env and config.md files are saved in the folder /farmerbot_script/farmerbot_files

EDIT:

I updated the script to take into account potential input errors.

See the readme.md file for more information.

You can check the code: everything is done on your local computer. Your seed phrase should be safe. Check for yourself! DYOR.

UPDATE:

The script is now available in python, as was discussed and requested in this issue.
