Deploy Conflux Consortium BlockChain

Download pre-built binaries

Download pre-built binaries from release page on the GitHub repository.

On the release page, after selecting the corresponding platform, you can click the link to download the zip package. Unzip the package, a run folder contains:

  • conflux_production Node program
  • customized_config.toml Node common configure file, i.e. ports for the node to provide rpc service.
  • gen_baas_config Program used to generate certificates and node specific configure files
  • log.yaml Log configuration file

Generate configure files and certificates

Get IP addresses for all nodes, i.e. node 1: 172.0.0.1, node 2: 172.0.0.2, ... It is the address of nodes used for other nodes to connect to.

Select P2P port for consortium nodes, i.e. port 15561. It is the TCP port for P2P messages.

Generate configure files and certificates (parameter format for nodes: $IP:$PORT,$IP:$PORT,...):

./gen_baas_config --nodes $IP:$PORT,$IP:$PORT

A folder start with Config_ will be created in current directory:

  • root, intermediate, rpc, server: they are certificates, keep them permanently. The certificates chain looks like:
    1

  • $IP_$PORT/config.toml: folders named by $IP_$PORT contain specific configuration file for each node.

Copy files to target location

Create a new folder on the target machine, and copy following files into this folder:

  • conflux_production
  • customized_config.toml
  • log.yaml
  • config.toml From $IP_$PORT/config.toml, different for each node.

Run

On Linux and Mac systems, the default max open file limit on Linux/Mac may not be enough for a Conflux node. So before running a node, make sure that you increase the number of open file descriptors allowed for each process. It's suggested to set the value to 10000. You can set this by running

ulimit -n 10000

on the command line window before continuing.

Running node via:

nohup ./conflux_production --customized-config customized_config.toml &

This will start the node and begin progress epoches. A new directory tree_graph_node will be created in the current working directory to keep the persistent data. Please do not remove them unless data are corrupt or you want to start a fresh new node.

Check node is running

check conflux_production is running:

ps -ef | grep conflux_production

After all nodes are started, check the latest epoch is growing via rpc or logs.

curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"cfx_epochNumber","params":[],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:$PORT

Logs are in directory tree_graph_node/logs
