Abstract Node | Manual

1. First of all, purchase a server from AEZA.

We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed.

Server specifications:

Recommended Requirements:

A relatively modern CPU is recommended.
RAM: 32GB
Storage:

Testnet Nodes: 30 GB
Mainnet Nodes: 300 GB, with the state growing about 1TB per month.

Network: 100 Mbps connection (1 Gbps+ recommended)

2. Occupied Ports and API Access

When deploying a node, it’s essential to understand which ports are already in use to avoid conflicts.

The Abstract node uses the following ports:

You can access the APIs using the following:

• For HTTP JSON-RPC API: 3060

• For WebSocket API: 3061

Before installing the node, make sure these ports are not in use.

2. Set up the server on your PC.

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

3. Install the script.

1. Run the following command and download:

sudo bash -c 'git clone https://github.com/dknodes/Abstract.git && cd Abstract && chmod ugo+x AbstractDK.sh && ./AbstractDK.sh'

1. 🛠️ Install Docker
2. 🛠️ Start Mainnet Node
3. 🛠️ Start Testnet Node
4. 📄 View Container Logs
5. ⏹️ Stop Mainnet Node
6. ⏹️ Stop Testnet Node
7. 🚪 Exit

If Docker is not installed, execute command 1.
If Docker is already installed, go straight to step 2.

4. Install Mainnet and Testnet Node

Choose either Testnet or Mainnet — you won’t be able to run both nodes at the same time, so pick one. For this example, we’re selecting Testnet.

Important: Before installing the node, check your server specs. This node is highly demanding, and after installation, and Testnet node can get pretty heavy after installation.

For example, on an Aeza server with:

• 16 CPU

• 32 GB RAM

• 480 GB NVMe

The load looks something like this.

5. Check logs

Enter command 4.

Not gonna show all the logs, but the main one to check is number 1.

6. Grafana

Next, Grafana is installed here, and there are three ways to access it:

1. Install a browser on the server.

Here’s a link with instructions: https://t.me/dknodes/63

2. Use SSH port forwarding:

ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 <user>@<remote_server>

• 3000 on the left side (-L 3000:localhost:3000) is the local port on your machine.

• 3000 on the right side refers to the remote server’s port that you want to forward.

• <user> is your username on the remote server.

• <remote_server> is the IP address or domain of the remote server.

3. Modify the configuration to make it publicly accessible (not recommended).

To do this, replace 127.0.0.1:3000 with 0.0.0.0:3000 in the file:

• Abstract/external-node/mainnet-external-node.yml (for mainnet)

• Abstract/external-node/testnet-external-node.yml (for testnet)

Next, go to http://localhost:3000/d/0/external-node.

If you chose option 3, replace “localhost” with your server’s IP address.

That's all!
