Configure

TIP

Connect to the right network

In order to connect to the mainnet be sure to use one of the following configurations:

GNY_P2P_PEERS=/ip4/78.141.235.22/tcp/8193/p2p/QmdEmHir6AxNzHrhWBJ3PfUddRBabmmEGmdSaCenrKMCUh

In order to connect to the testnet be sure to use one of the following configurations:

GNY_P2P_PEERS=/ip4/192.248.155.206/tcp/4097/p2p/QmUTkMvTdFsgNdtYMcN6U7VHBMzcVbg2oC3xYCagCJbRNs

Start Forging

WARNING

Do not reuse your delegate secret on different GNY Blockchain networks (localnet, testnet, mainnet). Otherwise you will make yourself vulnerable to replay attacks (opens new window).

TIP

In order to start forging you need to first register as delegate. Be sure to checkout our Guides on how to register as delegate and how to create a random secret.

In order to start forging please pass a secret or multiple secrets (comma separated) to the GNY Blockchain. This option is optional.

# one secret example
export GNY_SECRET=enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll

# multiple secret example
export GNY_SECRET=forum forum forum forum forum forum forum forum forum forum forum forum,enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll enroll

Configure Public IP

WARNING

The publicIp option is mandatory on the testnet and on the mainnet. If you don't set it then the node will automatically use its privateIp which which will make the p2p communication with other nodes not work.

Pass public ip as argument:

- npm run start
+ npm run start -- --publicIP="20.188.42.0"

Pass public ip as environment variable:

+ export GNY_PUBLIC_IP=20.188.42.0

TIP

After that the nodes own public ip configuration should be checked with the HTTP API endpoint /api/peers/info. This endpoint displays information about the own node!

Configure Network

The option network sets which network the node should connect to. This option is mandatory.

The network can be passed to the GNY node:

• as argument --network=mainnet
• as environment variable export GNY_NETWORK=mainnet

+ export GNY_NETWORK=mainnet

+	export GNY_NETWORK=testnet

+ export GNY_NETWORK=localnet

Configure P2P Secret

The p2p secret keeps the connection between peers secure. This is option is mandatory.

The p2p secret can be passed to the GNY node:

• as argument: --privateP2PKey="CAASqQkwggSlAgEA..."
• as environment variable: export GNY_P2P_SECRET="CAASqQkwggSlAgEA..."

Pass p2p secret as argument:

- npm run start
+ npm run start -- --privateP2PKey="CAASqQkwggSlAgEA..."

Pass p2p secret as environment variable:

export GNY_P2P_SECRET=<your p2p secret>

Configure P2P Peers

The p2p peers option says to which peer(s) (comma separated) we should connect in the network. This option is optional

The p2p peers option can be passed to the GNY node:

• as argument: --peers="/ip4/192.248.155.206/tcp/4097/p2p/QmUTkMvTdFsgNdtYMcN6U7VHBMzcVbg2oC3xYCagCJbRNs"
• as environment variable: GNY_P2P_PEERS=/ip4/192.248.155.206/tcp/4097/p2p/QmUTkMvTdFsgNdtYMcN6U7VHBMzcVbg2oC3xYCagCJbRNs

Pass p2p peers as argument:

- npm run start
+ npm run start -- --peers="/ip4/78.141.235.22/tcp/8193/p2p/QmdEmHir6AxNzHrhWBJ3PfUddRBabmmEGmdSaCenrKMCUh"

Pass p2p peers as environment variable:

+	GNY_P2P_PEERS=/ip4/78.141.235.22/tcp/8193/p2p/QmdEmHir6AxNzHrhWBJ3PfUddRBabmmEGmdSaCenrKMCUh

Pass p2p peers as argument:

- npm run start
+ npm run start -- --peers="/ip4/192.248.155.206/tcp/4097/p2p/QmUTkMvTdFsgNdtYMcN6U7VHBMzcVbg2oC3xYCagCJbRNs"

Pass p2p peers as environment variable:

+	GNY_P2P_PEERS=/ip4/192.248.155.206/tcp/4097/p2p/QmUTkMvTdFsgNdtYMcN6U7VHBMzcVbg2oC3xYCagCJbRNs

Configure DB Password

The dbPassword option sets the password for the db to connect to.

Pass dbPassword as environment variable:

export GNY_DB_PASSWORD=docker

Configure DB Name

The dbDatabase configures the database name to which the GNY Blockchain should connect to.

Pass dbDatabase as environment variable:

export GNY_DB_DATABASE=postgres

Configure DB User

The dbUser sets the database user with which the GNY Blockchain should connect to.

Pass dbUser as environment variable:

export GNY_DB_USER=postgres2

Configure DB Host

The dbHost sets the database host to which the GNY Blockchain should connect to.

Pass dbHost as environment variable:

export GNY_DB_HOST=db1

Configure DB Port

The dbPort sets the database port to which the GNY Blockchain should connect to.

Pass dbPort as environment variable:

export GNY_DB_Port=5432
