Node Guide

As the traditional way of running node is very well covered in the official docs and by other community member, we only focus on running node using Docker.
we have developed a docker setup to easily run a node without dealing with build requirements, systemd and opening firewall ports.

Requirements

You need a linux machine with docker installed on it. many VPS providers have an option to setup Docker through order interface, otherwise you should install it manually.
The official docker docs are pretty straight forward

Run the node using docker

Clone Initia - Dockerized repository on your server

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/0x4r45h/initia-docker
cd initia-docker

copy .env.sample to .env and fill it with your variables

build the image

docker compose build

run and exec into an ephemeral container:

docker compose run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash node

inside the container run init script

/init.sh

if you want modify config files further edit the config manually

nano $HOME/.initia/config/config.toml

then create a new wallet or import one

initiad keys add $WALLET_NAME

Now exit the container and run node service in background

docker compose up -d node

Check the logs

docker compose logs -f --since 5m node
