This file contains optional configuration. Refer to README.md the essential information.

Running as a System Service

Many node operators prefer to run the node as a system service.

Create the system service config file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/hl-visor.service

Add the required information to the config, replace ALL instances of USERNAME:

[Unit]
Description=HL-Visor Non-Validator Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=USERNAME
WorkingDirectory=/home/USERNAME
ExecStart=/home/USERNAME/hl-visor run-non-validator
Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable hl-visor.service

Start the service:

sudo systemctl start hl-visor

And finally to follow the logs use command:

journalctl -u hl-visor -f

Running with Docker

To build the node, run:

docker compose build

To run the node, run:

docker compose up -d

Additional Configuration

The default number of gossip peers for non-validating nodes is 8. To configure a different number between 8 and 100 inclusive, put that integer as n_gossip_peers in override_gossip_config.json. This does not require restarting the node to take effect.

To override the public IP address of the node:

echo "1.2.3.4" > ~/hl/override_public_ip_address
