Run Testnet Node

NOTE: Ensure you meet the before running a .

Run a Testnet Unit Zero node by following the steps:

Prerequisites

Hardware: Ensure you have 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, and 80+ GB SSD.
Account: Create a wallet in Testnet.
Docker: Install the .
Waves Blockchain Data:
- Download blockchain_last.tar via the .
- Or see other .
Unit Zero Testnet Chaindata
- Download op-geth-chaindata.tar via the .
Optional. For Mining Only.:
- WAVES: Obtain a minimum of 0.005 to cover the .
  NOTE: The Consensus Client invokes the on behalf of your account. If your account has a , it must permit such transactions.
- Lease: a minimum of 20,000 WAVES to your account.
- Google Chrome: Install the to ensure compatibility with the .

Step 1: Configure Node

Create the main directory and go to it:
```
mkdir main
cd main
```
NOTE: Ensure you have the read and write access to the directory.
In the main directory, create the subdirectories:
```
mkdir -p data/{secrets,waves,op-geth}
```
In the data/waves subdirectory, unpack the blockchain_last.tar archive.
In the data/op-geth subdirectory, unpack the op-geth-chaindata.tar archive.

Generate a node key and a JWT secret:

NOTE: You can re-use existing secrets if you ran besu previously.

mkdir -p data/secrets
openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > data/secrets/p2p-key
openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > data/secrets/jwtsecret

In the main directory:

Create the waves.conf file and paste the code block into it:

WARNING: You must:
Insert your Testnet account's seed converted to a base58-encoded byte array.
Set a password as a string.
Specify your server's static IP address. If your server does not have a static IP address, remove the declared-address line.

NOTE: execution-client-address has changed to "http://op-geth:8551".

Manual Updates

Note that newer images are not pulled when container restarts, neither for the consensus client, nor for op-geth. Automatic pulls have not been enabled to prevent newer incompatible images from being pulled unexpectedly.

You can run the following command to check which version of the consensus client you're running:

docker inspect ghcr.io/unitsnetwork/consensus-client:testnet | grep revision

Sample output:

❯ docker inspect ghcr.io/unitsnetwork/consensus-client:testnet | grep revision
                "org.opencontainers.image.revision": "e94e576e19ec50f1dc7e0b8d716b6d01344ad781",

e94e576e19ec50f1dc7e0b8d716b6d01344ad781 is git commit hash the image was built from. This hash can be useful for debugging purposes.

Step 2: Launch Node

In the docker-compose.yml file, execution client JSON-RPC port (8545) and Waves node's HTTP API port (6869) are mapped to the host's local address: 127.0.0.1:8545:8545 and 127.0.0.1:6869:6869. This configuration ensures the endpoints are accessible only to consumers running locally on the host machine.
If you need to allow access from external addresses, adjust the port mappings to 8545:8545 and 6869:6869. Alternatively, consider using a reverse proxy like nginx for controlled access.

Launch your node via the command:
```
docker compose up -d
```
NOTE: The Execution chain is synced with the network log indicates that the Consensus Client is synchronized with the network.

Step 3 (Optional): Start Mining

In the header of the page, click Sign in. The Connect a wallet to get started window will open.
In the Connect a wallet to get started window, select one of the sign-in options:
- Sign in with Keeper.
- Sign in with Exchange(Seed).
- Sign in with Exchange(Email).
- Sign in with Metamask.
The wallet extension will open.
In the wallet extension, sign in to your node account.
1. In the rewardAddressHex field, enter your account address.
  LIMITATIONS: The data field accepts input only in string format.
2. Click Invoke.
  NOTE: The transaction fee is 0.005 WAVES.
