Join a Testnet

Requirements

  • Have keosd running (look at local-wallet guide)
  • Have a local node built and installed (look at new-node guide)
  • Have git installed
  • Have a computer with decent specifications

Jungle Testnet:

  1. Generate EOS key pair from cleos and save it privately in a safe place:

    ./cleos create key

  2. Set up data directory

     git clone https://github.com/CryptoLions/EOS-Jungle-Testnet.git /opt/JungleTestnet
 cd /opt/JungleTestnet
 chmod 777 start.sh stop.sh

  3. Open up start.sh and replace the directory with your EOS node directory (e.g. /home/eos-dawn-v3.0.0)

    NODEOSBINDIR="/home/eos-dawn-v3.0.0/eos/build/programs/nodeos"

  4. Head on over to http://jungle.cryptolions.io:9898/monitor/ and come up with a jungle related animal name not taken (no capitals/spaces, only lower case alphabetical names or .).

  5. Using your new jungle animal and the local-wallet.md guide:
    a. Create account in cleos with the jungle animal name (for example lion)
    b. Create new public:private key pair
    c. Add your public:private key pair to your new account.

  6. Add newly created account to wallet in keosd.

  7. Open up config.ini and do the following:

    • Replace line 85

      producer-name = YOUR_PB_NAME

      with your own jungle animal name like

      producer-name = lion

    • Add your public and private key

      private-key = ["YOUR_PUBKEY","YOUR_PRIVKEY"]

    • Replace line 16

      p2p-server-address = your-domain:9876

      with YOUR OWN ip address or domain name like

      p2p-server-address = eoscalgary.com:9876

  8. Open up ports 8888 and 9876 on your router/cloud setup

Check firewall status

sudo ufw status verbose

Open ports

sudo ufw allow <port>/tcp
  1. Start your node with the command: 
    ./start.sh
  2. Open up http://your_website:your_http_port/v1/chain/get_info to see if you get a JSON response. If so, your node has been correctly configured.
  3. Once your node is syncing, message Bohdan at https://t.me/jungletestnet with this information:
Server Location Organisation node ip/domain, Port (http) Port (p2p) producer name your public key

Reading log messages

Use this command to have a stream of log messages

tail -f stderr.txt
