Clean old data

uptickd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.uptickd --keep-addr-book

Create Service file

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/uptickd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=uptick
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which uptickd) start --home $HOME/.uptickd
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Enable and start service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable uptickd
sudo systemctl restart uptickd && sudo journalctl -u uptickd -f

(OPTIONAL) State Sync

In order not to wait for a long synchronization, you can use our StateSync guide

Stop the service 

sudo systemctl stop uptickd

Configure

cd $HOME peers="[email protected]:10656" 
config=$HOME/.uptickd/config/config.toml 
SNAP_RPC=65.109.92.79:10657
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $config 
sed -i.bak -e "s/^snapshot-interval *=.*/snapshot-interval = \"2000\"/" $HOME/.uptickd/config/app.toml 
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \ 
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 2000)); \ 
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$SNAP_RPC/block?height=$BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

Сheck is the state sync information available

echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH

Configure the state sync

sed -i.bak -E "s|^(enable[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1true| ; \
s|^(rpc_servers[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$SNAP_RPC,$SNAP_RPC\"| ; \

s|^(trust_hash[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$TRUST_HASH\"| ; \
s|^(seeds[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"\"|" $config

Clean old data

uptickd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.uptickd --keep-addr-book

Restart the service and check the log

sudo systemctl restart uptickd && sudo journalctl -u uptickd -f

Create wallet

To create a new wallet, use the following command. don’t forget to save the mnemonic

uptickd keys add $UPTICK_WALLET

(optional) To restore exexuting wallet, use the following command

uptickd keys add $UPTICK_WALLET --recover

Fund your wallet

Before creating a validator, you need to fund your wallet, go to the Uptick discord server and and navigate to faucet channel

$faucet <YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>

Save wallet info

UPTICK_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(uptickd keys show $WALLET -a)
UPTICK_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(uptickd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo "export UPTICK_WALLET_ADDRESS="${UPTICK_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export UPTICK_VALOPER_ADDRESS="${UPTICK_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Create validator

before creating a validator, you need to check the balance and make sure that the node is synched

Check Sync status, once your node is fully synced, the output from above will say false

uptickd status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Check your balance

uptickd query bank balances $UPTICK_WALLET_ADDRESS

Create validator

uptickd tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 5000000000000000000auptick \
  --from $UPTICK_WALLET \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.2" \
  --commission-rate "0.05" \
  --min-self-delegation "1" \
  --pubkey  $(uptickd tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker $UPTICK_MONIKER \
  --chain-id $UPTICK_CHAIN_ID \
  --gas=auto

You can add --website --security-contact --identity --details flags in it needed

 --website <YOUR_SITE_URL> \
 --security-contact <YOUR_CONTACT> \
 --identity <KEYBASE_IDENTITY> \
 --details <YOUR_VALIDATOR_DETAILS>

Monitoring

If you want to have set up a monitoring and alert system use our cosmos nodes monitoring guide with tenderduty

Security

To protect you keys please don`t share your privkey, mnemonic and follow a basic security rules

Set up ssh keys for authentication

You can use this guide to configure ssh authentication and disable password authentication on your server

Firewall security

Set the default to allow outgoing connections, deny all incoming except ssh and node p2p port

sudo ufw default allow outgoing 
sudo ufw default deny incoming 
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp 
sudo ufw allow ${UPTICK_PORT}656/tcp
sudo ufw enable
