Configure Topology Files
Before you start your nodes, you need to prepare the topology files for block-producing and relay nodes.
#
Configure the block-producing nodeMake the block-producing node to "talk" only to YOUR relay node. Do not forget to configure your firewall also:
#
Configure the relay node:Make your relay node talk
to your block-producing node and other relays in the network by editing the topology.json
file:
topologyUpdater.sh
on your relay nodes from Guild Operators#
Optionally you can use Until full P2P is live we need to manually add peers in the topology.json
file on relay nodes. You can automate this by running the topologyUpdater.sh
script from Guild Operators. With the help of this script, you can also speed up your relay's registrations (currently registration is done twice per day based on your pool registration). If you run topologyUpdater.sh
every 60 minutes on your relay nodes using cron, then after 3 hours (or 4 runs) your relays will be registered. And most importantly, it can generate a topology.json
which will contain remote peers. Find more details here.
