Setting up node on Linux

Setting up node on Linux (Ubuntu 18)

Below are the instructions to set up the node for betanet and mainnet.

Pre-requisites

1. VM with Linux OS - Ubuntu 18 Server (Minimum 1 GB RAM, 20-30 GB Storage) & Public IP
2. Node binary for Linux (Build one from the source code - Build Instruction: https://docs.nano.org/integration-guides/build-options/)

Instructions

1. SSH login to the server.

• sudo apt-get update

2. Uploading the binary using FTP or SFTP

• Create a directory for Node:
• mkdir Node
• cd Node
• Upload 2 binaries (btcb_node & btcb_rpc) to Node directory using FTP access (You may use FileZilla for Windows or CyberDuck for MacOS)

3. Creating App Directory

• cd ..
• mkdir BtcbData

4. Configuring the Node:

• Inside BtcbData directory, create 2 files.
• nano config-node.toml
• nano config-rpc.toml

Copy the configuration and paste it to respective files:

• config-node.toml

• Mainnet: https://pastebin.com/YffxY7Yx

• Betanet: https://pastebin.com/p5xzAT5v

• config-rpc.toml

• Mainnet: https://pastebin.com/jWsZK7kR

• Betanet: https://pastebin.com/jgj8Y644

5. Creating Node Service:

• sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/btcb.service

[Unit]
Description=BTCB Node
Before=multi-user.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=root
ExecStart=/root/Node/btcb_node run --daemon
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=process
RestartPreventExitStatus=255
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

6. Running the Node

• sudo systemctl daemon-reload
• sudo systemctl enable btcb.service
• sudo systemctl start btcb.service
• sudo systemctl status btcb.service

7. Testing
Your node is running on

• Betanet: :35000
• Mainnet: :9075

You may try RPC calls using Postman.
