feat: add Preview support to midnight-node-docker (and indexer)#65
Conversation
- Add indexer-standalone service to compose.yml - Generate and manage indexer secret in .envrc - Add INDEXER_IMAGE to qanet and testnet-02 environments - Create new preview environment configuration - Update README to document indexer integration - Add indexer.secret to .gitignore
Add cardano-node and cardano-db-sync services to support midnight-node's main chain follower. Midnight-node requires access to Cardano blockchain data via PostgreSQL populated by cardano-db-sync. Services added: - cardano-node: Connects to Cardano preview network, provides blockchain data - cardano-db-sync: Syncs Cardano data to PostgreSQL (cexplorer database) Changes: - Added cardano-ipc and db-sync-data volumes for inter-service communication - Updated midnight-node-testnet to depend on cardano-db-sync - Created cardano-data/ directory for persistent node data - Set indexer APP__APPLICATION__NETWORK_ID=TestNet to match testnet-02 - Added interactions/ to .git/info/exclude Known issue - indexer version incompatibility: - Indexer 2.1.4 expects "Undeployed" network but testnet-02 uses "TestNet" - This is a version compatibility issue, not configuration - Cardano stack works correctly; indexer needs compatible version Other limitations: - Cardano sync takes significant time (hours to days for full sync) - Midnight-node shows verification errors until db-sync catches up Related: PM-20249

TODO: Node needs to publish to dockerhub for all named releases. (these referenced images aren't public)

@gilescope Good catch on the ghcr.io images requiring auth. Is this blocking for the PR, or should we track it separately for the node team?
For context:
- testnet-02 already uses public Docker Hub image (midnightnetwork/midnight-node:0.12.1)
- preview/qanet use ghcr.io which needs GitHub authentication

not TestNet-02 ? Honestly I think we should have lowercase for all these network ids.

We have these in the other compose file:
cardano-db-sync
cardano-node
postgres
How about we just have one compose file and rely on docker compose profiles to turn sets of sevices on?

Done! Everything is now in single compose.yml with profiles:
docker compose up→ just midnight-nodedocker compose --profile cardano up→ adds Cardano stack + indexerdocker compose --profile ogmios up→ adds Ogmiosdocker compose --profile proof-server up→ adds proof server
Deleted the legacy compose files as requested. Much cleaner now!

Fix critical network ID capitalization bugs (preview/qanet/testnet-02), standardize on .secret file extension for all sensitive data, consolidate all services into single compose.yml with Docker Compose profiles, and remove legacy compose files as requested.
