Evernode Deployment Baseline

This baseline converts the validated development runtime into an operator-installable sovereign runtime for everarcade-host.

Release Package (Reproducible)

Build and package:

bash scripts/release_package.sh dist

Artifacts:

• dist/everarcade-host-operator-<utc>.tar.gz
• dist/everarcade-host-operator-<utc>.sha256

Package content:

• host binary (bin/everarcade-host)
• operator templates (deploy/templates/*.toml)
• Linux service baseline (deploy/systemd/everarcade-host.service)
• manifest scaffold (deploy/manifests/evernode-deployment.manifest.json)
• operator docs

Operator Config Profiles

• Local: deploy/templates/operator.local.toml
• Testnet anchor profile: deploy/templates/operator.testnet.toml
• Evernode/live profile: deploy/templates/operator.evernode.toml

Linux VM Runner (systemd style)

1. Install package at /opt/everarcade-host.
2. Copy deploy/systemd/everarcade-host.service to /etc/systemd/system/.
3. Review environment flags to keep live integrations explicit.
4. Enable/start:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now everarcade-host.service
sudo systemctl status everarcade-host.service

Deployment Proof + Manifest Output

deploy-proof now emits:

• execution chain proof line
• deployment-manifest=<path> with machine-readable output

Live rails remain behind explicit flags:

• ENABLE_XRPL_LIVE=1
• ENABLE_IPFS_LIVE=1
• ENABLE_EVERNODE_LIVE=1

Release Validation Script

Runs full baseline:

1. build release
2. generate package
3. run deploy proof
4. verify artifacts exist

bash scripts/release_validate_fresh_vm.sh

Notes:

• runtime/... is the canonical generated runtime layout for validation.
• .everarcade-dev is legacy and not the primary runtime contract.
• HTTPS + PAT is only needed when cloning a private repository; local validation itself does not require credentials.
