lux cycle

Boot → deploy → stop → snapshot in one pipeline

lux cycle

Atomically boots the network's L1, deploys the standard contract suite, stops the node cleanly, and writes a tar.zst snapshot.

Pipeline:

lux up <ref> (background within this process)
wait healthy (networkID match + C-chain responding)
lux deploy <ref> (forge against the local RPC)
lux down <ref> (SIGTERM + wait drain)
lux snap <ref> (tar.zst the data-dir)

Examples: lux cycle zoo/localnet lux cycle lux/devnet --skip-deploy # boot, stop, snap only lux cycle hanzo/testnet --skip-snap

Usage:

lux cycle <network>/<env> [flags]

Flags:

      --mnemonic string    BIP44 mnemonic for the deployer (defaults to $LUX_MNEMONIC)
      --node-path string   path to luxd binary
      --skip-deploy        do not run contract deploy stage
      --skip-snap          do not run snapshot stage
