Starting a Full Node

How to Run an Onomy Testnet Full Node
Minimum system requirements:
A Linux server with any modern Linux distribution,
A quad-core CPU
8 GB of RAM
20GB of storage
Make sure you have gone through Installation Steps prior to setting up a node.
Initialize and start a full node
1.To start the Onomy full node, download scripts from the GitHub.
1
mkdir $HOME/.onomy/scripts
2
cd $HOME/.onomy/scripts
3
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onomyprotocol/onomy/dev/deploy/testnet/scripts/allow-cors.sh
4
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onomyprotocol/onomy/dev/deploy/testnet/scripts/expose-metrics.sh
5
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onomyprotocol/onomy/dev/deploy/testnet/scripts/init-full-node.sh
6
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onomyprotocol/onomy/dev/deploy/testnet/scripts/start-onomyd.sh
7
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onomyprotocol/onomy/dev/deploy/testnet/scripts/stop-onomyd.sh

2. Add executable permissions to the scripts using chmod +x *
3. Run init-full-node.sh script to initiate a new full node
bash init-full-node.sh
This script will ask you for several details
Node Name [Text]: A name for your full node
Seed IPs [Comma separated list of IPs]: IP Addresses of seed nodes, There are a couple of IPs pre-configured, If you want to point your node to custom Seed node, you can do that here
Your IP Address [IP Address]
After the script is done, you will find node-in in the output. Make sure to take a note of the node id as you might need it afterwards. If you forgot to save your node id, you can find it using
onomyd tendermint show-node-id
4. [Optional] you can expose metrics via Prometheus or allow CORS using the scripts expose-metrics.sh and allow-cors.sh
5. You can start and stop the node using start-onomyd.sh and stop=onomyd.sh. When you first start the node, give it enough time to sync with the blockchain
Check the status of the Onomy chain
You should be good to go! You can check the status of the Onomy chain by running:
1
curl http://localhost:26657/status
Copied!
Your node is fully synced when catching_up is false.
You can also open the http://localhost:26657 in your browser and check available end-points
