Tool that lets you connect to existing YourDLT and/or Symbol distributed ledger networks.
This tool suite is powered by Using Blockchain Ltd, UBC Digital Magazine, dHealth Network and Symbol from NEM.
Note that we originally forked the nemtech/symbol-bootstrap repository to provide with more presets and network configurations. Using Blockchain Ltd does not own the blockchain networks to which this tool lets you connect.
Validate your environment by running:
node -v
docker -v
docker-compose -vMake sure that your user can run docker without sudo:
docker run hello-worldThis tool is compatible with multiple blockchain projects which are listed below:
| Name | Preset Name | Link |
|---|---|---|
| dHealth Public Network | dhealth |
dHealth Public Network |
| dHealth Test Network | dhealthTestnet |
dHealth Test Network |
| Symbol from NEM | mainnet |
Symbol from NEM |
| Symbol Testnet | testnet |
Symbol from NEM |
| Custom private network | bootstrap |
Catapult |
Select one of the networks in the list above before you go on to setup your node.
$ npm i -g yourdltUse the -v flag to print the yourdlt version.
$ yourdlt -v
yourdlt/1.3.3 linux-x64 node-v14.16.0You can customize your node with a custom preset configuration, let's for example touch ~/node_config.yml.
Put the following in this configuration file we just created, and replace your-awesome-node by the friendly name you want to set to your node:
nodes:
-
host: ''
friendlyName: 'your-awesome-node'✅ If you already have a domain name DNS mapped to your server IP, you can specify it as the host of your node. This is optional and in case it is left empty, your node will be identified by its' IP address instead.
Useful configuration items among others:
beneficiaryAddress: Define a beneficiary address which will receive parts of the harvested fees on the node.mainPrivateKey: Caution here, please only use this option if you want to use a specific account for this node.remotePrivateKey: Caution here, please only use this option if you already linked your main account to a specific remote account.vrfPrivateKey: Caution here, please only use this option if you already linked your main account to a specific VRF account.maxUnlockedAccounts: Define the number of harvesting slots that are available for remote harvesting.enableDelegatedHarvestersAutoDetection: Define whether you want to allow persistent delegated harvesting.enableAutoHarvesting: Define whether you want your node to automatically start harvesting or not.
After you customized the node experience, you can now actually prepare the configuration of your network node. First we'll need to pick a so-called network preset, a target folder, an assembly and optionally specify a custom configuration preset.
$ yourdlt config -p bootstrap|mainnet|testnet|dhealth -t node -a peer|api|dual -c ~/node_config.ymlIn the above, make sure to pick a network preset that is either mainnet for Symbol Mainnet, testnet for Symbol Testnet or dhealth for DHealth Public Network. Also choose one of the assemblies with the following descripions:
peer: Harvesting node (Creates blocks)api: REST-enabled node (Relays information through an API)dual: Full node (Creates blocks and relays information)
Following console output is an example after a successful yourdlt config execution:
$ yourdlt config -p dhealth -t node -a dual -c ~/node_config.yml
