For ease of debugging any issue a user might encounter

At the disable automatic updates step on Windows, don't prompt the user if the automatic updates were already disabled.

There are various options with Prompt Toolkit and async httpx. Let's explore these.

• Add like 4 ntp servers from https://www.ntppool.org/en/use.html
• Update w32time config: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/tutorial-windows-ntp-config.html
• See if we can be a little more aggresive in terms of time sync configuration: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/windows-time-service/windows-time-service-tools-and-settings

Just output a warning message.

At the improve time step on Windows, don't prompt the user if the time was already improved.

Syncing verification after geth or beacon node install can take a while to complete. The retry method is alright but it is too easy to reach the end of the retry attempts while ending with a negative verification because it took too long to find peers.

Improve this using some async pooling of the REST APIs and a live display of the sync values and peers value.

We currently support only installing Lighthouse, but support for multiple clients would be nice. Prysm should be our second client.

Add the possibility to install everything on Windows

Bundling with PyInstaller can drive some AV products crazy on Windows including Microsoft Defender. Let's explore ways to make this a better experience for everyone.

Similar to what we have for Ubuntu at https://github.com/stake-house/eth2-validator-wizard/blob/main/eth2validatorwizard/platforms/ubuntu.py#L39

To avoid security issues coming from the test tools.

This is for the following tests:

• test_disk_size
• test_disk_speed
• test_available_ram
• test_internet_speed

Use something similar to what we use for Teku on Windows with checking peers count and is_syncing

To avoid potential penalties, we should recommend that people wait until their beacon node is fully in sync before doing the deposit at the deposit step.

We could also automatically test it and show a progress bar on that screen.

Make it possible to use something like ~/validator_keys when entering the validator keys directory for instance.

We can use the eth2-client open port checker for this:
https://port-checker.vercel.app/
https://github.com/ethstaker-core/eth2-client-port-checker

Seems like permissions are not removed correctly anymore on Windows 10 to protect the keys directory.

Current Geth dashboard in constants.py needs to be updated with the latest version available on https://gist.github.com/karalabe/1e26f9ea5c842fb118584edadc454e18

We should retry with multiple different servers and give it more time to get.

Prometheus + Grafana and configure them for Ubuntu

Let's explore options for Windows as well.

Similar to the other test, add a test that will check for available RAM and make sure the system as at least 8GB of available RAM to pass the test.

Just like what we did with #31 , we should improve geth syncing verification.

When testing for teku to be synced, it might already be and return an not syncing result. Test for that case and continue with the installation.

They have rebranded/moved to a different name/site.

Since v2.0.0, checkpoint sync has been available with lighthouse. Let's add it. See https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/checkpoint-sync.html

It would output something like this:

Eth2 Validator Wizard completed!

Network: Pyrmont
Number of validator(s): 0

The state file looked like this:

{"step": "wizard_completed", "context": {"want_to_test": 2, "selected_network": "pyrmont", "selected_ports": {"eth1": 30303, "eth2_bn": 9000}, "selected_eth1_fallbacks": [], "obtained_keys": {"validator_keys_path": "/root/eth2validatorwizard/eth2depositcli/validator_keys", "deposit_data_path": "/root/eth2validatorwizard/eth2depositcli/validator_keys/deposit_data-1628899005.json", "keystore_paths": [], "password_paths": []}, "public_keys": ["hidden but real public key"]}}

Here are the logs from a user: https://gist.github.com/remyroy/1ad480d46785ede16fe2c50ee0d6e8bb

Request that the user create an Infura ETH2 project for fast sync (in minutes) with the --initial-state on Teku. See https://docs.teku.consensys.net/en/latest/HowTo/Get-Started/Checkpoint-Start/

It seems like some Ubuntu users don't have setuptools and it crashes if that is not provided with the humanize package. See https://discord.com/channels/694822223575384095/825118946192785438/850762588286353430

We should bundle setuptools with package

message (3).txt

Add join queue information (Number of waiting validators and queue time) on the network selection page.

Use /api/v1/validators/queue endpoint on beaconcha.in API to get that information.

Possibly with PyInstaller?

Show status of installed clients/tools.
