If you installed the indexer stack by Stake🦑Squid build docker, then make the appropriate changes to the following files:

.env add network name and address of your arbitrum-one node CHAIN_1_NAME=”arbitrum-one”

CHAIN_1_RPC=”http://ip:9657"

in config.tmpl add a block line, for example if we had one network and we need to add the second one, then [chains.${CHAIN_0_NAME}]…, copy the whole block and change 0 to 1 everywhere, save changes

[store]
[store.primary]
connection = "postgresql://${DB_USER}:${DB_PASS}@${DB_HOST}:5432/${GRAPH_NODE_DB_NAME}?host=/var/run/postgresql"
pool_size = 10
[chains]
ingestor = "index_node_0"

[chains.${CHAIN_0_NAME}]
shard = "primary"
provider = [ { label = "${CHAIN_0_NAME}", url = "${CHAIN_0_RPC}", features = ["archive", "traces"] } ]

[chains.${CHAIN_1_NAME}]
shard = "primary"
provider = [ { label = "${CHAIN_1_NAME}", url = "${CHAIN_1_RPC}", features = ["archive", "traces"] } ]

[deployment]
[[deployment.rule]]
indexers = [ "index_node_0" ]

[general]
query = "query_node_0"

Restart the docker with the command bash start-all — force-recreate
