System configuration

System configuration#

Recommended operating systems

This guide has been tested against Linux distributions only. To ensure a successful production environment setup, consider using a Linux system.

Running a full ODISEO node is a resource-intensive process that requires a persistent server. If you want to use ODISEO without downloading the entire blockchain, use ODISEO Station.

Hardware requirements#

  • Four or more CPU cores

  • At least 2 TB of disk storage

  • At least 32 GB of memory

  • At least 300 mbps of network bandwidth

Prerequisites#

  • Golang v1.16.1 - go1.17.1 linux/amd64

    Installing Go for MacOS & Linux

    Go releases can be found here: https://go.dev/dl/

    In your browser, you can right-click the correct release (v1.16.1 - go1.17.1) and Copy link.

    # 1. Download the archive

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.17.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz

# Optional: remove previous /go files:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go

# 2. Unpack:

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.17.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz

# 3. Add the path to the go-binary to your system path:
# (for this to persist, add this line to your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or  ~/.zshrc)

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

# 4. Verify your installation:

go version

# go version go1.17.1 linux/amd64

  • Linux users: sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

Commonly used ports#

terrad uses the following TCP ports. Toggle their settings to fit your environment.

Most validators will only need to open the following port:

  • 26656: The default port for the P2P protocol. This port is used to communicate with other nodes and must be open to join a network. However, it does not have to be open to the public. For validator nodes, configuring persistent_peers and closing this port to the public is recommended.

Additional ports:

  • 1317: The default port for the Lite Client Daemon (LCD), which can be executed by ODISEOd rest-server. The LCD provides an HTTP RESTful API layer to allow applications and services to interact with your ODISEOd instance through RPC. For usage examples, see ODISEO REST API. You don’t need to open this port unless you have use for it.

  • 26660: The default port for interacting with the Prometheus database, which can be used to monitor the environment. In the default configuration, this port is not open.

  • 26657: The default port for the RPC protocol. Because this port is used for querying and sending transactions, it must be open for serving queries from ODISEOd.

Warning

Do not open port 26657 to the public unless you plan to run a public node.
