Running RPC Node

Follow this guide to setup Orbitron RPC on Testnet, You can do the same on Mainnet once it is live.

Requirements

• Orbitron CLI
• System should be tuned

If any of the above requirements are not met, follow from the following:

Orbitron CLI

Install Command Line Interface

System Tuning

Tune system for running Validators

Change Orbitron CLI configurations

Run the following command to point to testnet

orbitron config set --url http://api.testnet.orbitron.network:8899

Once the Mainnet will be live you will have to set the configuration to use mainnet native rpc url instead of this one

Generate the keypairs

1. Validator keypair

   orbitron-keygen new -o ~/validator-keypair.json

Fund Validator address

orbitron airdrop 10 ~/validator-keypair.json

Start validator

Now run the following command to start the validator

orbitron-validator \
        --known-validator 5vXaeXtVESpVsA15L4cnce2ZMXvNEVDwfseY34VVK6EB \
        --known-validator HnTZjQX7xUp3hyVACB8FeAdAE3MDAdUUBcVDxFSJpYbZ \
        --entrypoint http://api.testnet.orbitron.network:8000 \
        --expected-shred-version 30005 \
        --expected-genesis-hash 8EXN9mquvw6otwQFBJpCed4nk3aM774SPxQjhosDA44U \
         --only-known-rpc \
        --full-rpc-api \
        --no-voting \
        --identity ~/validator-keypair.json \
        --ledger ~/ledger/ \
        --rpc-bind-address 0.0.0.0 \
        --private-rpc \
        --dynamic-port-range 8000-10000 \
        --rpc-port 8899 \
        --log ~/orbitron-validator.log \
        --no-poh-speed-test \
        --wal-recovery-mode skip_any_corrupted_record \
        --limit-ledger-size 50000000

Voila! Your RPC Node is running now, wait for few minutes and it should be started on port 8899.
