To set up monitoring for your validator node navigate to Set up monitoring and alerting for agoric validator
To migrate your validator to another machine read Migrate your validator to another machine
You can setup your agoric fullnode in few minutes by using automated script below. It will prompt you to input your validator node name!
wget -O agoric.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/main/agoric/agoric.sh && chmod +x agoric.sh && ./agoric.sh
You can follow manual guide if you better prefer setting up node manually
When installation is finished please load variables into system
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Next you have to make sure your validator is syncing blocks. You can use command below to check synchronization status
ag0 status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
json=$(curl -qs --request GET --get "https://polkachu.com/api/v1/chains/agoric/snapshot" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: application/json")
snapshot_url=$(echo $json | jq -r .snapshot.url)
snapshot_name=$(echo $json | jq -r .snapshot.name)
snapshot_block=$(echo $json | jq -r .snapshot.block_height)
echo -e "\e[1m\e[32mDownloading $snapshot_name (block height: $snapshot_block) from $snapshot_url...\e[0m"
wget -O $snapshot_name $snapshot_url
sudo systemctl stop agoricd
ag0 tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.agoric
lz4 -c -d $snapshot_name | tar -x -C $HOME/.agoric
rm -v $snapshot_name
sudo systemctl start agoricd
To create new wallet you can use command below. Don’t forget to save the mnemonic
ag0 keys add $WALLET
(OPTIONAL) To recover your wallet using seed phrase
ag0 keys add $WALLET --recover
To get current list of wallets
ag0 keys list
Add wallet address
AGORIC_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(ag0 keys show $WALLET -a)
Add valoper address
AGORIC_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(ag0 keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
Load variables into system
echo 'export AGORIC_WALLET_ADDRESS='${AGORIC_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export AGORIC_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${AGORIC_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Before creating validator please make sure that you have at least 1 bld (1 bld is equal to 1000000 ubld) and your node is synchronized
To check your wallet balance:
ag0 query bank balances $AGORIC_WALLET_ADDRESS
If your wallet does not show any balance than probably your node is still syncing. Please wait until it finish to synchronize and then continue
To create your validator run command below
ag0 tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000ubld \
--from $WALLET \
--commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
--commission-max-rate "0.2" \
--commission-rate "0.07" \
--min-self-delegation "1" \
--pubkey $(ag0 show-validator) \
--moniker $NODENAME \
--chain-id $AGORIC_CHAIN_ID
To protect you keys please make sure you follow basic security rules
Good tutorial on how to set up ssh keys for authentication to your server can be found here
Start by checking the status of ufw.
sudo ufw status
Sets the default to allow outgoing connections, deny all incoming except ssh and 26656. Limit SSH login attempts
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp
sudo ufw allow 26656,26660/tcp
sudo ufw enable
To monitor and get alerted about your validator health status you can use my guide on Set up monitoring and alerting for agoric validator
This script will help you to estimate how much time it will take to fully synchronize your node
It measures average blocks per minute that are being synchronized for period of 5 minutes and then gives you results
wget -O synctime.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/main/agoric/tools/synctime.py && python3 ./synctime.py
curl -sS http://localhost:${AGORIC_PORT}657/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
