Tezos Baking Platform is Obsidian Systems' collection of Tezos tools and resources for bakers. It requires the Nix Package Manager, which you can install on any Linux distribution or MacOS.
Obsidian Systems has developed two Tezos applications for the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet.
- Tezos Wallet - Used for storing, sending, and delegating
- Tezos Baking - Used for signing blocks, endorsements, and self-delegating
Both are available to download in Ledger Live. To obtain them, enable Developer Mode in Settings; you’ll then find them available for download in Ledger Live’s Manager. Downloading these applications from Ledger Manager is not recommended, as those applications are out of date and are not updated.
For instructions on installing Tezos Wallet and Tezos Baking via the command line, visit our Tezos Ledger Applications Github repo. You'll also find instructions for their use. If you would like to build the applications yourself, see BUILDING.md in the ledger folder. You’ll also find instructions for testing scripts there.
Our Monitoring Software is the first stage of our Baking Software. For instructions on installation and use, see the Tezos Bake Monitor repo.
You can connect to Tezos by building it from source or by using docker images. Please see the Tezos Documentation for instructions.
If you have the Nix Package Manager, you can also use Obsidian Systems’ Tezos Baking Platform. Instructions can be found in UsingTezos.md.
Please clone the
Tezos Baking Platform and
check out the develop branch, updating submodules. These are the commands to run
in the freshly-cloned repo:
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/obsidian.systems/tezos-baking-platform.git
$ cd tezos-baking-platform
$ git checkout develop
$ git submodule sync
$ git submodule update --recursive --init
If you have not already, we recommend you setup Nix caching to drastically reduce your build times.
If you are running NixOS, add this to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:
nix.binaryCaches = [
"https://cache.nixos.org/"
"https://nixcache.reflex-frp.org"
];
nix.binaryCachePublicKeys = [ "ryantrinkle.com-1:JJiAKaRv9mWgpVAz8dwewnZe0AzzEAzPkagE9SP5NWI=" ];
Include these lines in /etc/nix/nix.conf. If the nix directory or nix.conf file do not yet exist then you will need to create them.
substituters = https://cache.nixos.org https://nixcache.reflex-frp.org
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= ryantrinkle.com-1:JJiAKaRv9mWgpVAz8dwewnZe0AzzEAzPkagE9SP5NWI=
If you are using Linux then enable sandboxing by adding this line to the nix.conf file
sandbox = true
But if you are using MacOS then you will need to disable sandboxing and then restart the nix daemon. Add this line to the nix.conf file to disable sandboxing
sandbox = false
Use these commands to restart the nix daemon:
$ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
$ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
