Linea Besu (Basic Node) - Quick Install Script

This script provides a one-line command to fully automate the installation of a basic Linea Besu follower node.

It handles all necessary steps, including installing dependencies (like Docker), configuring permissions, automatically setting the public IP, and starting the node as a background service. This script is designed for Debian-based Linux systems (e.g., Ubuntu).

---

Prerequisites

• A server running a Debian-based OS (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 or later).
• Root or sudo privileges.

---

Installation

Run the single command below in your terminal to start the installation.

Important: Replace the URL with the raw link to your own install-basic.sh script hosted on GitHub.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codeesura/linea-node/main/install-basic.sh | bash

The script will handle the entire setup process, and your node will be running upon completion.

Post-Installation Management

Your Linea node runs in the background inside a Docker container. All management commands should be run from the ~/linea-node directory.

Managing the Node

• Check Logs:

  cd ~/linea-node && sudo docker compose logs -f

• Stop the Node:

  cd ~/linea-node && sudo docker compose down

• Start the Node (after stopping):

  cd ~/linea-node && sudo docker compose up -d

Docker Permissions

The script adds your user to the docker group to allow running Docker commands without sudo.

Important: For this change to take effect, you must log out of the server and log back in. After re-logging in, you can omit sudo from the commands above.

---

Uninstallation

To completely remove the node and all its data:

1. Stop the container and remove its data volume:

   cd ~/linea-node && sudo docker compose down -v

2. Remove the installation directory:

   cd ~ && rm -rf ~/linea-node
