Overview

This guide provides two methods for running PayForBlob Transactions.

Method_1 - CLI
The CLI version helps you create PayForBlob Tx with a simple one-line command on the server running celestia-node

Method_2 - UI
The GUI version uses Python to connect to ssh and run PayForBlob Tx with a simple button

Method_3 - GUI
The GUI version helps you create PayForBlob Tx from anywhere after a simple setup on the server running celestia-node

Method_1 guide

Enter this command on the server running Celestia-node.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inklbot/celestia-itn/main/blob.sh && sed -i 's/\r//' blob.sh && chmod +x blob.sh && sudo /bin/bash blob.sh

Method_1 Example

Run blob.sh

When you ran the `blob.sh`

Go through the attached mintscan link and check if the TxHash, Height, and Wallet address are correct

Go to tiascan and check the PayForBlob Count.

Method_2 guide

Install screen, python3, pip and install flask module

sudo apt install screen python3 python3-pip -y
pip install flask

Download web_server.py

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inklbot/celestia-ITN-PayForBlob-Transactions/main/web_server.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inklbot/celestia-itn/main/blob.sh

Create dashboard folder and download index.html

mkdir dashboard
cd dashboard
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inklbot/celestia-ITN-PayForBlob-Transactions/main/index.html
cd ..

Split terminal using screen

screen -S web_server

Run web_server.py in a split terminal

python3 web_server.py

Now you're all set.
Then type CTRL+A+D simultaneously to return to the original terminal.

Method_2 Example

Access the dashboard via the website at http://<server-ip>:5000/

Execution button executes PayForBlob transactions.

Method_3 guide(Windows 10)

Requires Python3 and the paramiko, configparser, and tkinter modules.

pip install paramiko configparser

Method_3 Example

Run PFB.py

SSH connection information, except for the password, is then stored in config.ini

Then click the PFB Tx button to execute the PayForBlob transaction.

That's it!
