Nexqloud Chain

Seed Nodes

This dns mapping can be used to replace with the actual IP address of the seed node. The seed node is used to bootstrap the network and is used by the new nodes to connect to the network. You can set this values in the environment variables while deploying the node.

• Testing Seed Node - dev-node.nexqloud.net
• Staging Seed Node - stage-node.nexqloud.net

Deployment

• Clone the repository and switch to the upgrade branch

git clone https://github.com/nexqloud/nexqloud-chain.git
git switch upgrade

• Build the docker image

docker build -t nexqloud-chain .

• Set the environment variables

export MONIKER="node1" # The name of the node as it will appear in the network
export SEED_NODE_IP="" # The IP address of the seed node
export HOME = "/root" # The home directory of the container required to mount the volume

• Run the docker container

docker run -d --name nexqloud-chain -e MONIKER -e SEED_NODE_IP nexqloud-chain

• To have persistent data, you can mount a volume to the container which must map with the ~/.nxqd directory

docker run -d --name nexqloud-chain -e MONIKER -e SEED_NODE_IP -v /path/to/local/directory:/root/.nxqd nexqloud-chain
