How to set up a node
For most casual use cases, we recommend setting up your node with the join_stride.sh file in this repo. You can do this by running this command in your local shell.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential curl wget jq
sudo su -c "echo 'fs.file-max = 65536' >> /etc/sysctl.conf"
sudo sysctl -p
More connection info (e.g. genesis, seeds, etc) can be found here.
Please read on for more detailed setup instructions.
Linux
Make sure your system is updated and set the system parameters correctly:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential curl wget jq
sudo su -c "echo 'fs.file-max = 65536' >> /etc/sysctl.conf"
sudo sysctl -p
Install Go
First remove any existing old Go installation:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
Install the latest version of Go using this helpful script and move to the /usr folder:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/canha/golang-tools-install-script/master/goinstall.sh | bash
sudo mv $HOME/.go /usr/local/
Update environment variables to include go:
cat <<'EOF' >>$HOME/.profile
export GOROOT=/usr/local/.go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/.go/bin:$HOME/go/bin
EOF
source $HOME/.profile
Check if go is correctly installed:
This should return something like "go version go1.18.1 linux/amd64"
Stride Binary
Install the Stride binary:
Configure the binary:
strided keys add <key-name>
strided config chain-id stride-1
strided init <your_custom_moniker> --chain-id stride-1
curl https:
sudo ufw allow 26656
Set the seed in the config.toml (find seeds here: https://github.com/cosmos/chain-registry/blob/master/stride/chain.json):
nano $HOME/.stride/config/config.toml
seeds=""
indexer = "null"
Configure also the app.toml:
minimum-gas-prices = 0.001ustrd
pruning: "custom"
pruning-keep-recent = "100"
pruning-keep-every = "0"
pruning-interval ="10"
snapshot-interval = 1000
snapshot-keep-recent = 2
Create the service file for Stride to make sure it remains running at all times:
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/strided.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Stride Daemon
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which strided) start
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
sudo mv /etc/systemd/system/strided.service /lib/systemd/system
Start the binary:
sudo -S systemctl daemon-reload
sudo -S systemctl enable strided
sudo -S systemctl start strided
sudo systemctl enable strided.service && sudo systemctl start strided.service
Monitor Using:
systemctl status strided
sudo journalctl -u strided -f
