Is it possible to deploy a smart contract developed using truffle to testnet using just Metamask (without a local eth client instance running)?

I tried importing the private key of metamask wallet to my local geth instance, but the balance still shows zero.

Any pointers on how to deploy a smart contract to testnet?

  • For you ethereum client is ethereum wallet for example? – Gawey May 18 '17 at 11:17
  • Yes, either a wallet or a client is ok. A wallet does internally use a client. My Mist wallet hasn't completed syncing for ages, hence I tried directly from geth – Parthasarathy Ramanujam May 18 '17 at 17:41
  • I think's you don't need use the wallet if you are using metamask, i'm doing the same with meteor.js and i don't need have opened or runned the wallet. For change the network you can use metamask in the left corner you can choose it. – Gawey May 19 '17 at 09:20

Depending on what testnet you want to deploy to you can use a custom provider. Follow this link truffleframework.com/tutorials/using-infura-custom-provider.
