Running the node
After completing this section, your node will be connected to the Aleph Zero Mestnet and will start receiving blocks from the network.
All prerequisites are exactly the same as on the Testnet with regard to the ports and system configuration. We will present a short reminder on how to get the Aleph Node Runner and start it to connect to Mainnet.
Clone the Aleph Node Runner repo:
git clone https://github.com/Cardinal-Cryptography/aleph-node-runner
cd aleph-node-runner
Once inside the
aleph-node-runner folder, run:./run_node.sh -n <your_nodes_name> --ip <your public ip> --mainnet
If you are using a domain name instead of an IP (e.g. in a DynDNS configuration), you will need to pass the
--dns argument:./run_node.sh -n <your_nodes_name> --dns <your domain name> --mainnet
Management of the node and any custom options are the same as on Testnet with the notable difference of the config being located in the
env/validator_mainnet file.
