SUI Network - complete guide to run a Node & Validator
SUI is a layer 1 blockchain designed by Mysten Labs from the ground up in smart contract specific language called MOVE This guide will go over installing a Full Node and Validator from scratch in order to run a Sui network node, assumes a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04LTS. Hardware Requirements: Node Requirements: Full node requirements are lower, but storage can be expected to increase over time CPUs: 2 RAM: 8GB Storage: 50GB Validator Requirements: Validators perform work and deal with chain...

Easy Guide to Gnosischain Validator - with Lighthouse
This guide is help you set up a Gnosischain Validator, this will cover the full set up on a local device installed with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. We will be using Lighthouse for consensus layer client and Nethermind for our Execution layer client. Gnosischain merge is on the horizon, this guide is intended to be merge ready the set up will cover steps and configuration needed to run post merge, and today. Gnosischain is using Ethereum Proof of Stake consensus with the Beacon chain to select validator...

Aztec Sequencer- Public Testnet
This is a full guide to setup an Aztec Sequencer on Public Testnet, using Docker Compose and your own Sepolia Ethereum node (same device)Aztec Network- A privacy first Layer 2 on EthereumAztec is a zk-rollup allowing developers to build decentralised applications that preserve user privacy without compromising security or decentralisation. Aztec team co-developed Plonk, a highly efficient and universal zk-SNARK proving system that has since become foundational across the ZK ecosystem. Plonk’s...

The Full storage node is a Data Availability Node, this node stores all the data but does not connect to Consensus. Therefore it doesn't connect to Celestia App (hence not a full node) but stores all the data. A bridge node is used to bridge between consensus nodes and data (storage & light) nodes.
Mamaki test network is deprecated now and replaced with Mocha test network, please see this guide for updated instructions
First, make sure to update and upgrade the OS:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Install essential packages for Celestia
These are essential packages that are necessary to execute many tasks like downloading files, compiling and monitoring the node:
sudo apt install curl tar wget clang pkg-config libssl-dev jq build-essential bsdmainutils git make ncdu -y
Firewall Settings
we need to enable firewall and open ports on our device
sudo ufw allow 9090/tcp
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status
IMPORTANT: If you are going to remote into this server, make sure to enable SSH before enabling sudo ufw allow ssh
Install Golang
remove any existing installation
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo rm -rf ~/go
cd $HOME
sudo wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.18.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf go1.18.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm go1.18.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local
Now we need to add the /usr/local/go/bin directory to $PATH:
mkdir ~/go
echo 'GOROOT=/usr/local/go' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'GOPATH=~/go' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
make changes to the applicable file, should now be persistent in the .bashrc
source .bashrc
Confirm installation
go version
This should Return
go version go1.18.2 linux/amd64
For Celestia full storage node setup: we need to install celestia node which handles data availability and not consensus, https://docs.celestia.org/developers/celestia-app/
Install Celestia Node
create a binary file named celestia-node inside $HOME/go/bin folder which will be used later to run the node. Check the Discord ‘mamaki testnet’ announcements for the latest version (currently this is v0.3.0-rc2)
cd $HOME
rm -rf celestia-node
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-node.git
cd celestia-node/
git checkout tags/v0.3.0-rc2
make install
confirm installation by running from within the directory celestia version

Initialize Celestia node
celestia full init
Start the Full Storage Node
A Full Storage Node requires a connection to a validator node's gRPC endpoint (which is usually exposed on port 9090): we can find RPC endpoints, check out the list of resources here.
celestia full start --core.grpc http://<ip addr of core node>:9090
Example
celestia full start --core.grpc http://https://rpc-mamaki.pops.one:9090
Output will look like this on first start, this creates a Key for you

Stop the node with ctrl + c
cd celestia-node/
Will install binary in current working directory from the celestia-node repository pulled in Step 2, accessible with ./cel-key
make cel-key
Find Celestia node Key
this will list the key installed earlier on first start-up in order for you to find your address
./cel-key list --node.type full --keyring-backend test
Output will be something like this, and stored in .celestia-full/keys/keyring-test

Fund Wallet with Mamaki Test tokens
Once synced the address will need to be funded with Mamaki Testnet tokens to pay for PayForData transactions.
A section on wallet and claiming tokens can be found here
Optional: Generate your own Key
./cel-key add <key_name> --keyring-backend test --node.type full
This can then be selected later, in the start command with the flag --keyring.accname <name_of_custom_key>
Set up celestia-node as a background process.
sudo tee <<EOF >/dev/null /etc/systemd/system/celestia-full.service
[Unit]
Description=celestia-full Cosmos daemon
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$HOME/go/bin/celestia full start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=4096
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
confirm set up with
cat /etc/systemd/system/celestia-full.service
to make changes
nano /etc/systemd/system/celestia-full.service
Enable and start celestia-full daemon
systemctl enable celestia-full
systemctl start celestia-full
To view logs
journalctl -u celestia-full.service -f
you are now running a Celestia Full Storage Node as a background service
Optional: specify endpoints and wallet
we can edit the flags in our system service file
celestia full start --core.grpc http://<ip>:9090 --keyring.accname <name_of_custom_key>
