Running the Node with Cosmovisor
Run the node as a subprocess of Cosmovisor if you want automatic upgrading, which only requires you to place a new binary in the right location before an upgrade height.
Install Cosmovisor.
go install cosmossdk.io/tools/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@latest
Then, add these lines to your profile (maybe .profile, .zprofile, or something else) to set up environment variables:
Docker support is currently limited for the SEDA testnet since it has undergone an upgrade. The SEDA team is planning to add state sync support for the Docker environment soon.
Starting
To start a SEDA chain node with Docker (only recommended for those familiar with the tool):
Note the version v0.1.1, which is the chain binary version used for the mainnet launch. Exposing the ports is optional.
To check the status of the node you can check the normal docker way:
docker logs seda_node -n 100
or by interacting with the CLI from within the container:
docker exec seda_node sedad status
Upgrading
When an upgrade proposal is passed, node operators are expected to use Cosmovisor to prepare the node for an automatic upgrade. Since the Docker image provided by SEDA is already configured to use Cosmovisor, simply run the following commands to download and place the upgrade binary inside the container.
UPGRADE_NAME=v0.0.7 # upgrade name example
wget https://github.com/sedaprotocol/seda-chain/releases/download/$UPGRADE_NAME/sedad-amd64
chmod +x sedad-amd64
docker exec seda_node mkdir -p /home/seda/.sedad/cosmovisor/upgrades/$UPGRADE_NAME/bin
docker cp sedad-amd64 seda_node:/home/seda/.sedad/cosmovisor/upgrades/$UPGRADE_NAME/bin/sedad
Stopping and Resuming
The docker container should can be stopped and resumed as follows:
docker stop seda_node
# This runs it as a background process handled by docker.
docker start seda_node
