0. Build the containers locally to your desktop/laptop with:

   • docker compose build
     • The build process can take a while to complete.

1. First start postgres so you can create the DB with the diesel command:

   • docker compose up postgres -d
     • Note that postgres will store its db data in ./postgres/data
   • psql -U postgres -p 5432 -h localhost -c 'create database sui_indexer_testnet'
   • run these in sui.git/crates/sui-indexer:
     • diesel setup --database-url=postgres://postgres:admin@localhost:5432/sui_indexer_testnet

2. Copy the fullnode.yaml and genesis.blob files for the network to use and put them in the fullnode/config/ folder.

3. docker compose up fullnode -d

   • verify it's working by watching the logs with docker compose logs fullnode -f

4. Once the full node is working, then start indexer with: docker compose up indexer -d

   • You will see the indexer catching up checkpoint by checkpoint until it's up to date and ready to serve requests. docker compose logs indexer | tail -30
