• OpenEthereum version must be set as PARITY_VERSION in .env
• OpenEthereum version can be set to any stable version, at this moment v3.3.1 provides optimal experience.
• Persistent node files will be saved to path PARITY_WORKER_PATH.
• Configuration files will be taken from PARITY_WORKER_PATH folder.

3. Run source .env
4. Copy configuration files:

• Mainnet: cp configs/mainnet/* $PARITY_WORKER_PATH/
• Testnet: cp configs/testnet/* $PARITY_WORKER_PATH/

5. If neccessary, make additional changes to OpenEthereum configuration (will be located in <PARITY_WORKER_PATH>/config.toml)
6. Start node: docker compose up -d
7. View node logs: docker compose logs

There can be some issues with synchronization from zero block. Solution for this problem is to run new node from snapshot data Instructions for applying snapshot can be found here: SNAPSHOT.md
