## Kitabu Chain
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
_This step assumes you have root access on a Debian or Ubuntu based host OS_
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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.
