Operator Checklist

Use this checklist before calling a node production-ready.

Node Identity

  • Hostname and public IP are known.
  • Node role is clear: seed, RPC, bridge, explorer backend, miner, or pool.
  • Release version is recorded.

Network

  • P2P port 20999 is reachable when the node should accept peers.
  • RPC is not publicly exposed without TLS/auth/proxy controls.
  • DNS points to the intended host.
  • TLS certificates are valid for public HTTPS/RPC endpoints.

Chain Health

  • Height matches the rest of the fleet.
  • Best hash matches the rest of the fleet.
  • Peer count is healthy.
  • Disk usage has enough runway.
  • Logs are persisted to disk or another durable sink.

Bridge/Proof Serving

For bridge nodes:

  • Historical blocks are available if the node is expected to serve from genesis.
  • Bridge/proof service is advertised and reachable.
  • Mobile clients can request and receive Utreexo block/proof payloads.
