ValidatorsDAO

slv-hermes

Deploy a self-hosted Pyth Hermes price feed API stack (NATS + Beacon + Hermes) on a VPS. Hermes serves Pyth Network's REST/WS price feeds (`/v2/updates/price/latest`, `/v2/price_feeds`, `/ws`) by listening to Pythnet for accumulator messages and to the Wormhole network (via Beacon, a highly-available spy) for VAAs. The recipe builds all three components from source, drops systemd units, and validates `/v2/price_feeds` returns 200.

slv-irq-tuning

NIC IRQ 1:1 pinning, NVMe queue limits, RPS/XPS, NIC ring buffer, sysctl (UDP/TCP buffers, swappiness, netdev_max_backlog), THP off, and ulimit nofile=1M for Solana / Shredstream nodes. Reboot is required when NVMe queue parameters change.

slv-jetstreamer

Build, configure, and run anza-xyz/jetstreamer + ClickHouse on a dedicated analytics node. Streams Old Faithful CAR archives at multi-million-TPS into ClickHouse so historical Solana data is queryable via SQL (program_invocations, slot_status, pubkey_mentions). Includes hourly backfill timer and a rolling-window retention option.

slv-nftables

Deploy an OSS-clean nftables ruleset to any slv-managed host (Hermes, Pythnet RPC, validator, RPC, …). Inventory-driven — mgmt IPs, public ports, and per-port allow lists all come from `~/.slv/inventory.{network}.{role}.yml`, nothing is hardcoded. Atomic + rollback-safe (failed validation restores the previous config) and persistent across reboot. Used by `slv hermes firewall` and `slv pythnet firewall`; the same `cmn/deploy_nftables.yml` playbook works against any inventory.

slv-performance-boost

Update the kernel (Ubuntu HWE 6.14+), set `amd_pstate=active` (AMD), and apply cpufreq governor=performance, EPP=performance, cpuidle disable, and `scaling_max_freq=cpuinfo_max_freq` so the CPU stays at maximum boost. AMD nodes on kernel < 6.14 require HWE install + reboot.

slv-pythnet

Run a self-hosted Pythnet RPC node — the application-specific Solana fork operated by Pyth's data providers. Pythnet RPC is what `slv-hermes` reads from for accumulator messages; running it locally completes a fully self-hosted Pyth price feed stack. Recipe handles disk mount, sysctl tuning, Solana 1.14 fork build (with cstdint workaround for modern GCC), identity gen, and systemd. Snapshot fetch + catch-up typically finishes in 10-20 minutes.

slv-rpc-gateway

A small Rust JSON-RPC + WebSocket gateway that fronts yellowstone-faithful (of1) and routes `jet*` analytics methods to ClickHouse (jetstreamer data). Standard Solana RPC methods pass straight through; new analytic methods are answered from precomputed jetstreamer aggregates.

slv-smt-disable

Disable SMT (Hyper-Threading) by adding `nosmt=force` to GRUB. Required for stable single-thread performance on Solana validators / RPCs. Reboot required.
