💻Installation

Server preparation

apt update && apt upgrade -y
apt install curl iptables build-essential git wget jq make gcc nano tmux htop nvme-cli pkg-config libssl-dev libleveldb-dev tar clang bsdmainutils ncdu unzip libleveldb-dev -y

Install GO

ver="1.20.3"
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
go version

Node installation

git clone https://github.com/gitopia/gitopia && cd gitopia
git checkout v4.0.0
make install

gitopiad version --long | grep -e version -e commit -e build
# version: v4.0.0
# commit: 20a03bd0025b91e3a48b4046f08f4f6115f35e79
# build_tags: netgo,ledger

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

gitopiad init UTSA_guide --chain-id gitopia

Download Genesis

cd && git clone https://github.com/gitopia/mainnet && cd mainnet
tar -xzf genesis.tar.gz
shasum -a 256 genesis.json
# 0cf5c55e6ea1fbcebccadba0f6dc0b83ac76d1b608487a06978956404ce33e66

# копируем genesis
cp genesis.json $HOME/.gitopia/config/genesis.json
gitopiad validate-genesis

At this stage, we can download the address book

wget -O $HOME/.gitopia/config/addrbook.json "https://share.utsa.tech/gitopia/addrbook.json"

Set up node configuration

gitopiad config chain-id gitopia

Create a service file

tee /etc/systemd/system/gitopiad.service > /dev/null <<EOF

If peers do not cling for a long time or you see errors error: wrong Block.Header.AppHash, you need to use State sync or boot from a Snapshot
