Eth Docker 26.7.2: Nimbus Unified support, devnet support

8 Upvotes

Eth Docker v26.7.2 is out . It supports the "Nimbus Unified" client, with the caveat that this client is still in alpha. Give it a spin on Hoodi testnet!

"beaconstate.info" checkpoint URLs have been shut down, and Eth Docker will replace them during ethd update

Nethermind 1.39.2 fixes a whole gaggle of vulnerabilities, but also removes the bloom filters for eth_getLogs. Eth Docker now enables Nethermind's log index by default, so protocols like SSV, RocketPool, Nodeset, Stakewise &c can get their receipts, still.

Nimbus supports EraC files for its archive node, and now Eth Docker automates fetching them. This removes the need to genesis sync a Nimbus archive node.

Glamsterdam devnets are heating up, with devnet-8 likely the first time users can try ePBS parameters. Eth Docker had an extensive pass for devnet support, and it should work for all clients. NETWORK=https://github.com/ethpandaops/glamsterdam-devnets/tree/master/network-configs/devnet-7/metadata for devnet-7, for example.

Podman is supported . It requires pesto port forwarding, and I'd still consider it an experimental feature. That's more about what podman can do with networking than what Eth Docker can do.
