Monero Node

A device on the Internet running the Monero software, with a full copy of the Monero blockchain, actively assisting the Monero network. A node that is not running on your local machine is called remote node. Remote nodes can be private, if they are for personal use only, or open, if they are accessible by other people.

Systemanforderungen:

A new Monero User

First we wanna create a new monero user 

useradd monero
passwd monero             <- give monero user a password

Login with monero and install necessary Software 

pacman -S ufw wget

Open port 18081 

sudo ufw allow 18081

Install and extract the monero full node: 

wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/linux64           <- Latest stuff 
tar --strip-components= -xvjf linux64                  <- extract
mv monero/monerod /usr/bin/                            <- move monerod to global


Monerod Configurations

Create a new configuration file with nano /etc/monerod.conf and add the official config file from github/monero or mine: 

# Configuration file for monerod
# See 'monerod --help' for all available options.

# Binding your node & set username and password
rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0
rpc-bind-port=18081             
confirm-external-bind=1
rpc-login=username:password

# Set the blockchain directory
data-dir=/var/lib/monero
log-file=/var/log/monero/monero.log
log-level=0

# Slow but reliable db-settings
db-sync-mode=safe
limit-rate-up=1048576
limit-rate-down=1048576

# Prune Blockchain in order to speed up the process
prune-blockchain=true
sync-pruned-blocks=true

At last give the monero user the rights to execute 

chown -R monero:monero /var/lib/monero
chown -R monero:monero /var/log/monero


Monerod als Service einrichten

Erstelle ein neues Service-Skript in /etc/init.d/monerod: 

nano /etc/init.d/monerod

Füge folgenden Inhalt ein: 

#!/sbin/openrc-run
# Autostart monero daemon with configuration from monero.conf

command="monerod"
command_args="--detach --config-file=/etc/monerod.conf""

pidfile="/var/run/monerod.pid"

Starte den Monero-Daemon und adde ihn als autostart 

rc-service monerod start
rc-update add monerod default


Wallet Login

After that make your IP Visible with the command: 

ip -4 addr show | grep inet

Then Login in your monero-wallet-gui with your credentials:
