# Oracles v1.8 Relayer Upgrade Guide *Disclaimer: These instructions are made for Ubuntu 20.04. The commands may not match 100% on other distros, nor is there any guarantee that it will work.* **Important:** * Starting with this release, all transactions are of type 2 (EIP-1559). * OpenEthereum support is deprecated # Prerequisites If you use custom `pairs` settings in `/etc/omnia.conf`, i.e. `oracleExpiration` and `oracleSpread`, backup your file to be able to restore these settings later. # Upgrade (Relayer Only) **Upgrade Omnia and Dependencies to version 1.8.2** `nix-env --install --verbose --file https://github.com/makerdao/oracles-v2/tarball/stable` **Configure Spire, Scuttlebot and Omnia** ``` install-omnia relayer --ssb-caps ~/caps.json --ssb-external <your external ip here> ``` **Restore custom settings** Restore any custom setting in `/etc/omnia.conf`, taking care of keeping the new pairs and parameters. **Restart services** ``` sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart spire-agent sudo systemctl restart ssb-server sudo systemctl restart omnia ``` **[fyi] To stop Omnia and Scuttlebot from starting on system boot** ``` sudo systemctl disable --now ssb-server sudo systemctl disable --now omnia sudo systemctl disable --now spire-agent ``` **[fyi] To query spire and confirm that the agent works** ``` spire -c /etc/spire.json pull price WSTETHUSD 0xDA1d2961Da837891f43235FddF66BAD26f41368b ``` _note: if you get the error not enough sources to calculate median, wait two minutes and try again_ # Final steps **Check Status of Omnia and Scuttlebot** ``` sudo systemctl status ssb-server sudo systemctl status omnia sudo systemctl status spire-agent ``` **Check Omnia logs** `sudo journalctl --follow --unit omnia` Here, we want to make sure that omnia is getting messages from both Scuttlebot and Spire. E.g.: ``` Jul 15 16:34:27 oracle omnia[3087529]: [07/15/21 16:34:27] Polling feed: 0xFbaF3a7eB4Ec2962bd1847687E56aAEE855F5D00 Jul 15 16:34:27 oracle omnia[2583168]: [07/15/21 16:34:27] Pulling ETHUSD price message with transport-ssb Jul 15 16:34:27 oracle omnia[2583168]: [07/15/21 16:34:27] Pulling ETHUSD price message with transport-spire Jul 15 16:34:28 oracle omnia[3087529]: [07/15/21 16:34:28] Adding message from 0xFbaF3a7eB4Ec2962bd1847687E56aAEE855F5D00 to catalogue ``` **Optional: Adjust EIP-1559 gas parameters** New parameters in `/etc/omnia.conf`: * `maxPriceMultiplier`: the estimated maximum gas price is multiplied by this factor * `tipMultiplier`: the maximum estimated priority fee is multiplied by this factor * `source`: source for the maximum gas price and priority fee estimate: * `node`: obtain the price from the node via rpc * `ethgasstation`: query the EthGasStation API. This API uses legacy estimates and might have unexpected results. **not recommended** **Recommended: cleanup temporary ssb files** Your `/tmp` directory may contain hundreds of thousands of uncessary files that may be safely removed `find /tmp -name "multiserver*" -delete` **Monitor** Confirm that the relayer is pushing the prices to the medianizer
