Storage Node - ZeroGravity

Prerequisites

You have completed Getting Started with ZeroGravity

Set environment variables

open .env file with your editor

nano .env

modify the variables in .env file under Storage configs section with your desired variables.
Important ones are:

• STORAGE_MINER_PRIVATE_KEY This requires a private key, without leading 0x, funded by testnet tokens from faucet. you have two ways to get this private key
  • create a fresh wallet on metamask, export private key and REMOVE LEADING 0X
  • or use your validator account private key. export it by 0gchaind keys unsafe-export-eth-key $WALLET_NAME
• STORAGE_ENR_ADDRESS Your server public IP address
• STORAGE_BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT If you are running a node/validator using this compose file, you can directly connect to it by setting this to http://node:8545 , otherwise use a public RPC endpoint
• STORAGE_NETWORK_ENR_TCP_PORT and STORAGE_NETWORK_ENR_UDP_PORT should both point to a valid, non busy port. they MUST BE SAME e.g. 31234

Fund Wallet

you should fund the storage miner wallet with a0gi.
go to Faucet and get some funds. if you used the 0gchaind binary to create this wallet,
you can get your evm address by running following command inside the node container, as explained here:

echo "0x$(0gchaind debug addr $(0gchaind keys show $WALLET_NAME -a) | grep hex | awk '{print $3}')"

Run Storage Node

docker compose --profile storage up -d storage-node

Check logs

docker compose --profile storage logs -f --since 1m storage-node

Upgrades

From v0.6.0 to v0.7.5

This is a non-breaking change, but there are some changes in default configs. so either manually update your config.toml file inside the container, or remove the config volume and let it be crated with new default configs.

update repository & images

git pull
docker compose --profile storage pull

remove storage container

docker compose --profile storage down

remove the storage node config volume

docker volume rm 0g-docker_storage_config
