How to run a node

Primary configuration of your node

It is good to update your server to latest software:

C#
Copy
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get dist-upgrade -y
apt-get autoremove -y
apt-get autoclean –y

Create a new user for your node. It's much safer then to run it under root.

C#
Copy
adduser mynode
adduser mynode sudo

For correct compilation it is necessary to install:

C#
Copy
apt-get install git cmake build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config libboost-all-dev libsodium-dev libzmq5 tmux

and latest MS .Net Core Framework

C#
Copy
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-package-manager-ubuntu-1604

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

And install SDK 2.2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.2

After completing these steps you can continue with a first run.

First run of xRhodium node

Switch to your new user (mynode) and run new TMUX session.

C#
Copy
su mynode
tmux new -s btrnode

Later you will attach this session with command.

C#
Copy
tmux a –t btrnode

Next step is cloning of master branch of actual node under your user (su mynode).

C#
Copy
Go to \home\mynode\

And clone this git:

git clone -b master_1.1.16 https://gitlab.com/bitcoinrh/BRhodiumNode.git

Now go to project folder and call.

C#
Copy
Go to \home\mynode\BRhodiumNode\src\BRhodium\

then call:

dotnet restore
dotnet build

Run node with param -testnet.

C#
Copy
dotnet run –testnet
Then you will see something like this:
firstrun

Don't wait for download and stop node with CTRL+C.

Configure your node

Now go to new folder under your user (can be hidden).

C#
Copy
\home\mynode\.brhodiumnode\BRhodium\BRhodiumTest\

and open file BRhodium.conf:

nano BRhodium.conf

TestNET configuration

Add testnet peer:

C#
Copy
Change line:
#addnode=ip:port
To:
addnode=217.182.72.173

To allow access to API RPC-JSON set:

C#
Copy
Change line:
#server=0
To:
server=1

To enable UPnp set:

C#
Copy
Change line:
#upnp=0
To:
upnp=1

Configure API RPC-JSON access authentication:

If you don't need to secure access to API RPC-JSON just set server=1 only.

C#
Copy
Change lines:
#rpcbind=127.0.0.1
#rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
To
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0

Add lines:
rpcuser=youruser
rpcport=16661 (this is default testnet rpc port)
rpcpassword=yourpsw

Save it.
More information about API RPC-JSON access authentication read here.

Now run node again and download whole blockchain.

C#
Copy
Then go back to
\home\mynode\BRhodiumNode\src\BRhodium\

And run again:
dotnet run –testnet
Node is ready:
