Example Arweave Configurations

{% hint style="info" %}

Note on wallets (aka private keys)

  • When packing or repacking you do not need a private key - you will only need a mining address (aka packing address)
  • Your mining address is not a private key - it is a public address
  • When mining, only nodes that will sign blocks need to have a private key / wallet.json stored locally
  • If your node will be part of a coordinated mining cluster (and is not the exit node) or is mining as part of a pool, it will never need your private key stored locally
  • For the following examples we will alway use En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI and Q5EfKawrRazp11HEDf_NJpxjYMV385j21nlQNjR8_pY as mining addresses. Replace them with your own address(es) before running the sample commands. {% endhint %}

Syncing and Packing

Situation

  • You're just getting started and need to download and pack data
  • You'll sync the data from network peers and pack it as you store it to disk
  • You'll pack the data to 16TB disks using the mining address En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI
  • You'll use the replica_2_9 packing format and will pack 4 partitions per disk
  • NOTE It's best not to mine while you pack. The two processes are both resource intensive and will slow each other down. (i.e. omit the mine flag from your configuration)

Process

  1. Generate entropy for all your data
    • Run your miner with sync_jobs 0 and replica_2_9_workers greater than 0 (default is fine)
    • Wait until you see a message like the following for each storage module:
      • Console: The storage module X is prepared for 2.9 replication.
      • Log: event: storage_module_entropy_preparation_complete, store_id: X
  2. Restart your node to sync and pack the data
    • Run your miner with sync_jobs greater than 0 (default is fine)
Sample Directory Structure
  • Mount points for 16TB disks that will store the packed data:
    • /mnt/a
    • /mnt/b
  • data_dir: /opt/data
  • Store module symlinks:
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_0_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/a/storage_module_0_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_1_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/a/storage_module_1_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_2_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/a/storage_module_2_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_3_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/a/storage_module_3_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_4_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/b/storage_module_4_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_5_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/b/storage_module_5_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_6_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/b/storage_module_6_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_7_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9 -> /mnt/b/storage_module_7_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI.replica.2.9
  • Wallets: no wallet.json needed since you are only packing

Cross-Module Repack

Situation

  • You've downloaded 4 partitions of unpacked data
  • You want to pack it so you can mine against it
  • You've downloaded the unpacked partitions to an 18TB disk
  • You'll pack the data to 4TB disks using the mining address En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI
  • You'll use the replica_2_9 packing format
  • NOTE It's best not to mine while you pack. The two processes are both resource intensive and will slow each other down. (i.e. omit the mine flag from your configuration)

Repacking in Place

Situation

  • You've been solo mining against 4 partitions of packed data
  • You want to repack it so you can join a mining pool
  • You want to repack in place so you don't need any extra storage capacity
  • Your packed data is stored on 4TB disks and is packed using the spora_2_6 packing format with the mining address En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI
  • The new mining address is Q5EfKawrRazp11HEDf_NJpxjYMV385j21nlQNjR8_pY and you want to repack to the replica_2_9 packing format
  • NOTE It's best not to mine while you pack. The two processes are both resource intensive and will slow each other down. (i.e. omit the mine flag from your configuration)
  • NOTE Unlike with the other two repacking processes ("Sync and Pack" and "Cross-Module Repack"), you will not need to split up the "Repacking in Place" process into two steps. Entropy generation and repacking will happen in a single step.
Sample Directory Structure
  • Mount points for 4TB disks that store your packed data:
    • /mnt/a
    • /mnt/b
    • /mnt/c
    • /mnt/d
  • data_dir: /opt/data
  • Store module symlinks:
    • /opt/data/storage_modules/storage_module_0_En2eqsVJARnTVOSh723PBXAKGmKgrGSjQ2YIGwE_ZRI -> /mnt/a

Running a VDF Server

Situation

  • You'd like to run a dedicated node to compute and publish VDF
  • You've decided not to have your VDF server mine
  • You only want to provide VDF for the following nodes:
    • 1.2.3.4
    • 5.6.7.8
    • 5.6.7.8:1985
    • node.example.com
Sample Directory Structure
  • data_dir: /opt/data
  • Store module symlinks: None
  • Wallets: no wallet.json needed since you will not be signing any blocks
