This directory contains all the files necessary for a launch, be it booting a network or joining an existing network. You can also use it for local development.

The directory is split in smaller directories, each directory representing some sort of versionning for the various versions of EOS that is needed to launch. The current directories:

• launch-clone - The boot sequence at launch of EOS blockchain (version 1.0.1).
• release-v1.1. - The boot sequence for 1.1.x versions of the EOS blockchain.

Here a description of the actual files in specific folder and their meaning:

• boot.sh, the actual boot script executed by eos-bios to launch you're nodeos instance (via Docker by default). Feel free to edit the boot.sh to match your specific needs like pre-configuration and post-configuration rules.

• base_config.ini, the base configuration you want to provide to your nodeos instance. It is consume by the eos-bios, and shouldn't include any signature-provider (private-key), enable-stale-production or producer-name fields.

• boot_sequence.yaml is the file used by eos-bios to sequence the actual boot operation. It includes references to the contents you want to inject in the nascent chain (like smart contracts, snapshots, etc..) as well as the actual stuff to perform on the chain (contracts & accounts creation, token issual, etc.).

Some files generated by the boot hook:

• config.ini is then passed to docker to configure nodeos.
• genesis.json is also passed to docker to seed the genesis blocks.
