Kitabu Chain
Prerequisites
This step assumes you have root access on a Debian or Ubuntu based host OS
$ apt get update
$ apt install chrony curl git
$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash
$ curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Validator node setup
1. Clone this repo
$ git clone https://git.grassecon.net/grassrootseconomics/kitabu-chain
$ cd kitabu chain
2. Obtain your private key
If you have an existing keystore file, rename it to key
else create a new one:
$ openethereum account new --base-path=$(pwd)
$ mv keys/ethereum/UTC* ./key
$ rm -rf keys
Save the password of the key created above in a password
file. Save the key's public address for the next step.
3. Setup environmental variables and other configs
cp .env.example .env
Edit the .env
file:
EXT_IP
: Your server's external IP (curl ifconfig.me
)ACCOUNT
: Your private key's public address
Edit docker-compose.yml
or kitabu.toml
to tweak the Openethereum config as per your own preferences.
4. Start the validator node
$ docker-compose up
# or...
$ docker-compose up -d
5. Reverse proxy setup
The devops
folder contains a Caddy config to use as a reverse proxy to further control access to your validator node's API.
Replace .yourdomain
in the Caddyfile
and point it to your server IP.
