JOIN THE MAINNET CANDIDATE
Join the Testnet
Whitepaper
Quick start
We've launched our Mainnet Candidate network!
The vast majority of instructions relating to the node are identical or highly similar than those for the Testnet. More complete instructions & resources are coming soon, here are some quick technical instructions on how to get started right away.
​
Install a node on the mainnet candidate on Linux
Node operations are basically the same as those on the Testnet, here's how you can install a node on Linux.
1
mkdir -p mainnet/config
2
cd mainnet
3
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-ops/master/taraxa_compose_mainnet/docker-compose.yml
4
docker-compose up -d
5
docker-compose logs
Copied!
More instructions and scripts for other environments coming soon.
​
Find node's public address
It's the same command as the one on testnet, except the container name is different. Instead of
taraxa_compose_node_1, it's mainnet_node_1. 1
docker exec mainnet_node_1 cat /opt/taraxa_data/conf/wallet.json
Copied!
Per usual this name may be different in different environments, so to be sure you've got the right container name, just execute
docker ps. ​
Get node proof of ownership
It's the same command as the one on testnet, except the container name is different. Instead of
taraxa_compose_node_1, it's mainnet_node_1. 1
docker exec mainnet_node_1 taraxa-sign sign --wallet /opt/taraxa_data/conf/wallet.json
Copied!
Per usual this name may be different in different environments, so to be sure you've got the right container name, just execute
docker ps​
Upgrade
To update the node please run the following commands in the
mainnet directory:1
wget -O docker-compose-new.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-ops/master/taraxa_compose_mainnet/docker-compose.yml && mv docker-compose-new.yml docker-compose.yml
2
sudo docker-compose down
3
sudo docker-compose pull
4
sudo docker-compose up -d
5
sudo docker-compose logs -f
Copied!
