Cardano fullnode

VM

ssh your-user@your-vm-ip

Setup

Cardano fullnode is using cardano-cli and cardano-node. We have downloaded their binaries from the Github repo. The fullnode requires a set of configuration files, available at Cardano's website. These files are saved in a directory config-files /home/your-user/config-files and we execute the following command from this directory:

cardano-node run --topology topology.json --database-path db --socket-path db/node.socket --port 6001 --config config.json

Sync Check

We can check the syncing status of fullnode via:

cardano-cli query tip --mainnet --socket-path ~/config-files/db/node.socket
