Apollo exists to simplify development of the modular stack. It's a one click deploy local and easily extendable Celestia network.

To deploy from source, clone the repo and install the binary by running:

git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/apollo.git && cd apollo
go install cmd/main.go

From there, you can run the binary with the following command:

apollo up

This will start the control panel and all services.

Go to http://localhost:8080 to view the control panel. This will show which services are running along with the URLs

The cli tool comes with four services built-in Consensus Node, Bridge Node, Light Node, and Faucet. With these alone you can easily fund your sequencer and deploy your rollup, using the light client to verify the blobs as they are published.

The binary comes with a faucet for easily funding accounts. By default it will be hosted at http://localhost:1095. You can use the API by sending a GET request to http://localhost:1095/fund/<your_celestia_address>

• /fund/<celestia_address>: Funds the listed celestia address returning the transaction hash if successful or an error
• /status: Returns the status of the faucet, including the faucet account and any configurations

To view your authentication token for the Apollo light node, use the following command:

celestia light auth admin --node.store $HOME/.apollo/light-node

The atomic unit of this development kit is a service. It can be seen as an arbitrary process that requires certain inputs denoted as endpoints and providing certain outputs also in the form of endpoints. These are predominantly used as the ports these services will communicate across. These services can be started and stopped.

The CLI uses the Conductor with four out of the box services. To add more, write a wrapper of your service that matches the Service interface. Create your own binary with the standard services and your new service.
