Setup Process

Running A Node

Follow the steps mentioned below for running a full node or a validator node with Docker:

1. Download the Docker image using the following command

   docker pull 5irechain/5ire-node:mainnet

2. Run the Docker image for the desired node

   Full Node

   For a full node, run the following command:

   docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9944:9944 5irechain/5ire-node:mainnet --no-telemetry --base-path /5ire/data/ --chain /5ire/specs/5ire-mainnet-specRaw.json --bootnodes /ip4/44.229.117.8/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWHZ98etYokeswbKfCbUrgU2U2RjEaH1t1HprVGcLcFcnD --pruning archive --rpc-external --rpc-cors all

   Validator Node

   For a validator node, run the following command:

   docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9944:9944 5irechain/5ire-node:mainnet --no-telemetry --base-path /5ire/data --chain /5ire/specs/5ire-mainnet-specRaw.json --bootnodes /ip4/44.229.117.8/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWHZ98etYokeswbKfCbUrgU2U2RjEaH1t1HprVGcLcFcnD --validator

   Validator Node (Unsafe RPC Method)

   For validators that need to connect to an external app, --rpc-methods Unsafe may need to be used, however security risks are involved (for more info, refer to the Substrate documentation).

   For a validator node with —rpc-methods Unsafe, run the following command:

   docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9944:9944 5irechain/5ire-node:mainnet --no-telemetry --base-path /5ire/data --chain /5ire/specs/5ire-mainnet-specRaw.json --bootnodes /ip4/44.229.117.8/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWHZ98etYokeswbKfCbUrgU2U2RjEaH1t1HprVGcLcFcnD --validator --rpc-external --rpc-cors all --rpc-methods Unsafe

Note

The above commands assume that the user has installed Docker on the server according to the Docker guidelines.

If the current user hasn’t been added to the docker group then the user will need to prepend sudo to the command before running.

Note

The above validator node command assumes that the user is installing a node in a machine that has Docker installed.

Next Steps

Now that you have successfully completed the node setup, head over to the Validator app section to get onboarded and contribute to the security of the 5ireChain network.
