Mainnet Deployment Guide

Preparation

Create workspace directory

cd $WORKSPACE
mkdir -p bouncebit/bin
mkdir -p bouncebit/config

Create work user

sudo groupadd -r -g 979 bouncebit
sudo useradd -m -u 979 -g 979 --system -s /sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/bouncebit bouncebit
sudo mkdir /etc/bouncebit && sudo chown bouncebit:bouncebit /etc/bouncebit

sudo tee /etc/bouncebit/bbcored.env <<EOF
GOGC=75
EOF

## rm old node key
sudo rm /data/bouncebit/config/node_key.json

🌈 Download Latest Version bbcored

curl -OL https://github.com/BounceBit-Labs/node/releases/download/v1.5.4/bbcored

tar zxf bbcored.tgz -C bouncebit/bin
sha256sum bbcored

chmod +x bbcored

ln -s $WORKSPACE/bin/bbcored /usr/local/bin/bbcored 
# or
# sudo cp bbcored /usr/local/bin/bbcored 

Init Bouncebit Mainnet Network

cd $WORKSPACE
bbcored init [moniker] -o --chain-id bouncebit_6001-1 --home $WORKSPACE

🖇️ Download Mainnet Network_files

Mainnet configuration files can be downloaded from here 👇

mainnet-config-files.zip

archive

Unzip mainnet-config-files.zip

And move the downloaded file to the following path.

config/app.toml
config/client.toml
config/config.toml
config/genesis.json

Update seeds ( Required )

config.toml

[p2p]

seeds = "98bd24f56d476ee6e7f076ba82f8e141dde9b0a3@54.251.66.17:26656,40eb7e0cbccbd0fa04b1556e7f153b6a56e342dd@18.142.100.186:26656"

Config ( Optional )

If you want to run an archived node , we recommend simply using the following settings.

app.toml

pruning = "nothing"

config.toml

indexer = "kv"

If you are running as a validator and seeking to save disk space, we recommend simply using the following settings.

app.toml

pruning = "custom"

# These are applied if and only if the pruning strategy is custom.
pruning-keep-recent = "100"
pruning-interval = "10"

config.toml

indexer = "null"

Running Node via systemd

We recommend using Systemd to manage Bouncebit service and check logs.

Setting up systemd unit file

You can create a Systemd unit file at the following location /etc/systemd/system/bouncebit.service:

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/bouncebit.service <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=bouncebit node daemon
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target data.mount
Requires=data.mount

    --log_level=info \\

Start the service

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start bouncebit.service
systemctl enable bouncebit.service

View logs

journalctl -o cat -f -u bouncebit

Monitoring

Monitor your Full node using the instructions at Logging, Tracing, Metrics, and Observability.

The default metrics port is 26660. To change the port, edit your config/config.toml file.

prometheus = true

# Address to listen for Prometheus collector(s) connections
prometheus_listen_addr = ":26660"
