5ire-validator-node-systemd

start 5ire validator node as normal service systemd

Official documentation here https://docs.5ire.org/docs/system-admin/How-to-setup-a-5ireChain-node , only 2 commands in console. BUT, with each restart - a new container, and, accordingly, full synchronization. You can't really see the logs. Well, other delights of docker

We will run it as a normal service. Further commands, without much text, and so everything is clear

Tunnel WS port from your server to your PC in Linux OS.

Run this command on our PC, not on server! Dont forgot replace USER , IP to your values

ssh -p 22 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=60 \
      -N -L 9944:localhost:9944 <USER>@<SERVER IP>

Tunnel WS port from your server to your PC in MS Windows.

//// I dont use MS Windows, sorry. And I dont know exactly how to do it////

But, you can always use google .

Here, for example, there is such a guide for PowerShell https://woshub.com/ssh-tunnel-port-forward-windows/

Here - for Mobaxterm https://superuser.com/questions/1601631/create-ssh-tunnel-using-mobaxterm-on-windows

Run the following command in the PowerShell console to install the OpenSSH client on Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2022/2019:
Get-WindowsCapability -Online | ? Name -like 'OpenSSH.Client*'
To create an SSH tunnel with a remote host <SERVER_IP>, run the command:
ssh -L 9944:<SERVER_IP>:9944 <USER>@<SERVER_IP>
he following connection string is used in this example: LOCAL_PORT:DESTINATION_IP:DESTINATION_PORT and USER@DESTINATION_IP (the username and address of the remote SSH server)

Now, follow the official manual for setting up the validator app

https://docs.5ire.org/docs/5ireChain-tools/validator-application . Install 5ire Wallet extension for your Chrome browser https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/5irechain-wallet/keenhcnmdmjjhincpilijphpiohdppno . Create wallet. Connect the node to the application using this link ws://127.0.0.1:9944 . Create validator inside the app. Add stake to the validator.

After creating validator in the app, backup key store. Right now, not tomorrow!

cp -R $DATA_DIR/keystore $BACKUP_DIR

useful commands

see logs without redundant information

journalctl -n 100 -f -u $DAEMON | grep -v \\
    -e "✨ Imported" \\
    -e "💤 Idle" \\
    -e "♻ ️  Reorg"

see node id

curl --silent -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "system_localPeerId" }' \
http://localhost:9933 |jq ."result"
