node - Waves node implemented in Go

Usage

usage: node [flags]
  -log-level          Logging level. Supported levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL. Default logging level INFO.
  -state-path         Path to node's state directory
  -blockchain-type    Blockchain type: mainnet/testnet/stagenet
  -peers              Addresses of peers to connect to
  -declared-address   Address to listen on
  -api-address        Address for REST API
  -grpc-address       Address for gRPC API
  -enable-grpc-api    Enables or disables gRPC API
  -build-extended-api Builds extended API. Note that state must be reimported in case it wasn't imported with similar flag set
  -serve-extended-api Serves extended API requests since the very beginning. The default behavior is to import until first block close to current time, and start serving at this point
  -seed               Seed for miner
  -binds-address      Bind address for incoming connections. If empty, will be same as declared address

Parameter -state-path has no default value, so you have to provide the path to node state directory.

By default, most parameters have values for MainNet.

To start a node on MainNet execute the following command.

./node -state-path [path to node state directory]

To start a TestNet node use the command below.

./node -state-path [path to node state directory] -peers 52.51.92.182:6863,52.231.205.53:6863,52.30.47.67:6863,52.28.66.217:6863 -blockchain-type testnet

Running node on Linux

The easiest way to run node on Linux is to install it from DEB package. Download relevant DEB package from the Releases page and install it with one of the following commands.

sudo dpkg -i gowaves-mainnet-v0.10.0.deb

sudo dpkg -i gowaves-testnet-v0.10.0.deb
 
sudo dpkg -i gowaves-stagenet-v0.10.0.deb

Corresponding systemd will be created. To start and stop, for example, the MainNet service use:

sudo systemctl start gowaves-mainnet.service

sudo systemctl stop gowaves-mainnet.service

To check the logs use journalctl utility.

sudo journalctl -u gowaves-mainnet.service -f

Building DEB packages

To build DEB packages execute the command:

make release-node

The DEB files are placed in the build/dist folder. For example, DEB package for MainNet will be named gowaves-mainnet-0.10.0.deb.
