Step 1: Clone the Infernet Container Starter Repository

To get started, clone the repository containing all the necessary files:

# Clone locally
git clone --recurse-submodules <https://github.com/ritual-net/infernet-container-starter>

# Navigate to the repository
cd infernet-container-starter

Step 2: Deploy the hello-world Container

Once inside the repository directory, you can deploy the hello-world container by running the following command. This will bootstrap the rest of the Infernet Node stack.

make deploy-container project=hello-world

Step 3: Verify Running Containers

To check if your containers are running, open a new terminal session and run:

docker ps

You should see multiple containers running, including hello-world, infernet-node, and others. Here's an example output:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                        COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                NAMES
ed7ec08617aa   ritualnetwork/hello-world-infernet:latest    "gunicorn app:create…"   3 minutes ago   Up 3 minutes   0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp                      hello-world
22be7ee424f1   ritualnetwork/infernet-node:1.0.0            "/app/entrypoint.sh"     3 minutes ago   Up 3 minutes   0.0.0.0:4000->4000/tcp                      infernet-node

Step 4: Create an Off-Chain Compute Job

Now that the containers are running, we can create an off-chain compute job using the Infernet Node's REST API. Here's how to submit a job to the hello-world container with some input data:

curl -X POST "<http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs>" \\
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
    -d '{"containers": ["hello-world"], "data": {"some": "input"}}'

If successful, the Infernet Node will return a job ID:

{"id":"e45b5ebc-c71e-4ab8-b10f-d1202e7fb16e"}

Step 5: Check Job Status

To monitor the job’s progress and retrieve the result, use the following command:

curl -X GET "<http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs?id=e45b5ebc-c71e-4ab8-b10f-d1202e7fb16e>"

The response will show the job’s result:
