Direct connections

If you are running multiple nodes in the local network and exposing all of them is not convenient there is an option to setup network manually, by making couple of nodes publicly available and the rest connected to them directly.

Get network id

  • get it with grpcurl

grpcurl -plaintext 127.0.0.1:9092 spacemesh.v1.DebugService.NetworkInfo

{
  "id": "12D3KooWRfy4Sj4rDHDuBaYw3Mg5d2puwiCyqBCWMziFquaGQ5g8"
}
  • get it from stored data

cat ~/spacemesh/p2p/p2p.key

{"Key":"CAESQAQN38GXvr+L+G+/JWoimpqPBK7I6INe+PKYA+hRJg0I65Q3IPK49Ii9dcnC3+UqB+jMEL16sqDfUubxTs62rZU=","ID":"12D3KooWRfy4Sj4rDHDuBaYw3Mg5d2puwiCyqBCWMziFquaGQ5g8"}

Configuration for public node

Public node should have higher peer limits to help with network connectivity and a list of botnodes. Direct connections should be reciprocal, otherwise public node may prune your private node if overloaded.

Setup more than one public node, and perform rolling upgrades or restart for them if needed.

{
    "p2p": {
        "min-peers": 30,
        "low-peers": 60,
        "high-peers": 100,
        "p2p-disable-legacy-discovery": true,
        "direct": [
            "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/6000/p2p/12D3KooWRkBh6QayKLb1pDRJGMHE94Lix4ZBVh2BJJeX6mghk8VH"
        ],
        "bootnodes": [
            "/dns4/mainnet-bootnode-10.spacemesh.network/tcp/5000/p2p/12D3KooWHK5m83sNj2eNMJMGAngcS9gBja27ho83t79Q2CD4iRjQ",
            "/dns4/mainnet-bootnode-11.spacemesh.network/tcp/5000/p2p/12D3KooWFrCDS8tc29nxJEYf4sKFXhXw7wMSdhQP4S7tsbfh6ngn"
        ]
    }
}

Configuration for private node

Set min-peers to the number of peers in the config and disable-dht. low-peers and high-peers should not be lower than min-peers.

{
    "p2p": {
        "listen": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/6000",
        "min-peers": 1,
        "low-peers": 10,
        "high-peers": 20,
        "p2p-disable-legacy-discovery": true,
        "disable-dht": true,
        "bootnodes": [],
        "direct": [
            "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/7513/p2p/12D3KooWRfy4Sj4rDHDuBaYw3Mg5d2puwiCyqBCWMziFquaGQ5g8"
        ]
    }
}

Expected result

Public node will maintain many open connections

ss -npO4 | rg spacemesh | rg 7513 | rg ESTAB | wc -l 52

Private will connect only to the specified public node:

ss -npO4 | rg spacemesh | rg 6000

tcp   ESTAB      0      0              127.0.0.1:7513        127.0.0.1:6000  users:(("go-spacemesh",pid=39165,fd=11)) 
tcp   ESTAB      0      0              127.0.0.1:6000        127.0.0.1:7513  users:(("go-spacemesh",pid=39202,fd=47))
