Ethereum Validator Controller

The validator controller is a simple GUI that makes operating a validator simple and accessible to all.

Features:

• Multi-client Support: Controll all major clients including Geth, Besu, Nethermind, Teku, Nimbus, Lighthouse, Prysm, and Mevboost.
• Standard Configuration: Get the same results as manually entering terminal commands
• Simple Operation: Easy to operate, no technical skills required

Validator Controller (GUI):

Prerequisites:

Update system and install packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install git curl python3-pip python3-tk -y && sudo pip install requests

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/accidental-green/validator-controller.git

Controller Instructions:

Launch Controller:

python3 validator-controller/validator_controller.py

Validator Controller (GUI):

Select clients then operate everything with single click (start, stop, journals etc)

Validator Controller Options:

• Select Execution Client: (Besu, Geth, Nethermind)
• Select Consensus Client: (Lighthouse, Nimbus, Prysm, Teku)
• Mevboost On/Off: Toggle MEV on/off
• Start All: Start selected services
• Stop All: Stop all services
• Journals: Open journals in new windows
• Service Files: Open service files to view/edit

Note: The controller is meant to control validators already installed and configured. If you don't have a validator installed, you can visit my other Ethereum repos to get started:

Validator Install: Fresh Ubunutu to syncing validator in 52 seconds

Validator Updater: Instantly update clients (Execution, Consensus, and Mevboost)

Client-Switcher: Instantly switch to a new Execution client

Important Note:

This project is open source but has not been audited. It is still relatively untested, so use with caution.
