Configure LocalTerra

Configure LocalTerra#
The majority of LocalTerra is implemented through a docker-compose.yml file, making it easily customizable. You can use LocalTerra as a starting point for setting up your own local Terra testnet with Docker containers.
Out of the box, LocalTerra comes with several preconfigured settings such as:
Ports defined for RPC (26657), LCD (1317) and FCD (3060).
Standard accounts.
Modify node configuration#
You can modify the node configuration of your validator in the config/config.toml and config/app.toml files.
Speed up block time#
LocalTerra is often used alongside a script written with the Terra.js or Terra.py as a convenient way to do integration tests. You can greatly improve the experience by speeding up the block time.
To increase block time, edit the [consensus] parameters in the config/config.toml file, and specify your own values.
The following example configures all timeouts to 200ms:
##### consensus configuration options #####
[consensus]
wal_file = "data/cs.wal/wal"
- timeout_propose = "3s"
- timeout_propose_delta = "500ms"
- timeout_prevote = "1s"
- timeout_prevote_delta = "500ms"
- timeout_precommit_delta = "500ms"
- timeout_commit = "5s"
+ timeout_propose = "200ms"
+ timeout_propose_delta = "200ms"
+ timeout_prevote = "200ms"
+ timeout_prevote_delta = "200ms"
+ timeout_precommit_delta = "200ms"
+ timeout_commit = "200ms"
Additionally, you can use the following single line to configure timeouts:
sed -E -i '/timeout_(propose|prevote|precommit|commit)/s/[0-9]+m?s/200ms/' config/config.toml
Modifying genesis#
You can change the genesis.json file by altering config/genesis.json. To load your changes, restart your LocalTerra.
