💻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="1.19.6"
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/UptickNetwork/uptick && cd uptick
git checkout v0.2.19
make build -B

mv $HOME/uptick/build/uptickd $HOME/go/bin/

uptickd version --long | grep -e version -e commit -e build_tags
# version: v0.2.19
# build_tags: netgo,ledger
# commit: 972d58dbe335791b28b6971f1548b4a5e08e9ef5

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

uptickd init UTSA_guide --chain-id uptick_117-1

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.uptickd/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UptickNetwork/uptick-mainnet/master/uptick_117-1/genesis.json"

# Проверим генезис
sha256sum ~/.uptickd/config/genesis.json
# df80462fed795d877fb1e372175ec66d004056fa0ec98c6c3ed52a6715efc66f

At this stage, we can download the address book

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

Set up node configuration

uptickd config chain-id uptick_117-1
uptickd config keyring-backend os
sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.0025auptick\"/;" ~/.uptickd/config/app.toml
external_address=$(wget -qO- eth0.me)
sed -i.bak -e "s/^external_address *=.*/external_address = \"$external_address:26656\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/config.toml
peers="[e-mail]:30597,[e-mail]:30598,[e-mail]:30599,[e-mail]:30601,[e-mail]:30600,48e7e8ca23b636f124e70092f4ba93f98606f604@54.37.129.164:55056,8ecd3260a19d2b112f6a84e0c091640744ec40c5@185.165.241.20:26656,8e924a598a06e29c9f84a0d68b6149f1524c1819@57.128.109.11:26656,f05733da50967e3955e11665b1901d36291dfaee@65.108.195.30:21656"
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/config.toml

(OPTIONAL) Set up pruning

pruning="nothing"
pruning_keep_recent="1000"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/app.toml

(OPTIONAL) Set up indexer

indexer="null"
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/config.toml

(OPTIONAL) Enable/Disable Snapshots

snapshot_interval=1000
sed -i.bak -e "s/^snapshot-interval *=.*/snapshot-interval = \"$snapshot_interval\"/" ~/.uptickd/config/app.toml

Create a service file

tee /etc/systemd/system/uptickd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=uptickd
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which uptickd) start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable uptickd
systemctl restart uptickd && journalctl -u uptickd -f -o cat

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
