# Celestia Validator Node By [GLCstaked](https://paragraph.com/@glcstaked) · 2022-07-22 --- ### Guide to install Celestia Full node & Validator node. This is a set up guide for a Validator Node on Celestia’s Mamaki Testnet, this also applies to set up a full node, up until Step 7. **Mamaki test network is deprecated now and replaced with Mocha test network, please see this guide for updated instructions** [https://mirror.xyz/0xf3bF9DDbA413825E5DdF92D15b09C2AbD8d190dd/AM4qp-HcHmTDu3rFLVyQVBGlqnSeLElKzrZ\_iSoFHW4](https://mirror.xyz/0xf3bF9DDbA413825E5DdF92D15b09C2AbD8d190dd/AM4qp-HcHmTDu3rFLVyQVBGlqnSeLElKzrZ_iSoFHW4) 1\. Set Up Dependencies ----------------------- 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 26657/tcp sudo ufw allow 26656/tcp #Port listen for incom TXs, config 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 `ufw` Additional Ports These are additional ports from some additional bootstrap Peers to help with syncing (these additional peers are added later, and can change) #these ports are to the ones in additional peers, add in the same method as above 16656,57030,41768,52552,43656,50674,41622,2665,41914,36126,41636,49656,47474,54244,44306,38360,57914,37462,37898,37754,5603,39208,49052,36656,26676,26666 **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` 2\. Install Celestia Application ================================ For Celestia Validator Node setup: running a Celestia App daemon with an internal Celestia Core node. [https://docs.celestia.org/developers/celestia-app/](https://docs.celestia.org/developers/celestia-app/), the application will be configured as a validator later. **Install Celestia App** create a binary file named celestia-appd 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 v0.6.0) cd $HOME rm -rf celestia-app git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-app.git cd celestia-app git checkout v0.6.0 make install check if the binary was successfully compiled, will output help example commands celestia-appd --help 3\. Initialise Node and Set P2P networks ---------------------------------------- cd $HOME rm -rf networks git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/networks.git set variables with whatever you want in <> but do not change Network: mamaki CELESTIA_NODENAME=""  CELESTIA_WALLET=""  CELESTIA_CHAIN="mamaki" save the variables echo 'export CELESTIA_CHAIN='$CELESTIA_CHAIN >> $HOME/.bashrc echo 'export CELESTIA_NODENAME='${CELESTIA_NODENAME} >> $HOME/.bashrc echo 'export CELESTIA_WALLET='${CELESTIA_WALLET} >> $HOME/.bashrc source $HOME/.bashrc Initialize the application node celestia-appd init $CELESTIA_NODENAME --chain-id $CELESTIA_CHAIN Copy the config genesis file cp $HOME/networks/mamaki/genesis.json $HOME/.celestia-app/config/ Set to validator mode (IF YOU ONLY WANT TO RUN A FULL NODE SKIP THIS LINE) sed -i 's/mode = \"full\"/mode = \"validator\"/g' $HOME/.celestia-app/config/config.toml **Set up P2P Networks: Bootstrap Peers and Additional Peers** update bootstrap peers BOOTSTRAP_PEERS=$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/celestiaorg/networks/master/mamaki/bootstrap-peers.txt | tr -d '\n') check echo $BOOTSTRAP_PEERS Set, add to config sed -i.bak -e "s/^bootstrap-peers *=.*/bootstrap-peers = \"$BOOTSTRAP_PEERS\"/" $HOME/.celestia-app/config/config.toml **Additional Peers** NOTE: there may be additional bootstrap peers to add to this list to help with connections, check the discord and add to the config.toml There are additional bootstrap peers that can be added from here curl -s https://rpc-mamaki.pops.one/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] |

Configure Pruning ===================== For lower disk space usage, recommend setting up pruning using the configurations below. pruning_keep_recent="100" pruning_interval="10" sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"custom\"/;\ s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/;\ s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.celestia-app/config/app.toml for pruning "100-0" you should disable snapshots to avoid conflict with 100-blocks pruning and 1500-blocks snapshot-interval sed -i 's/snapshot-interval *=.*/snapshot-interval = 0/g' $HOME/.celestia-app/config/app.toml **Reset Before Starting the Node** celestia-appd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.celestia-app Config Client celestia-appd config chain-id $CELESTIA_CHAIN creates an application CLI configuration file, needed for wallet later celestia-appd config keyring-backend test 5\. Quick Sync with Snapshot (Optional) ======================================= Syncing from Genesis can take a long time, depending on your hardware. Using this method you can synchronize your Celestia node very quickly by downloading a recent snapshot of the blockchain. If you would like to sync from the Genesis, then you can skip this part. cd $HOME rm -rf ~/.celestia-app/data mkdir -p ~/.celestia-app/data SNAP_NAME=$(curl -s https://snaps.qubelabs.io/celestia/ | \ egrep -o ">mamaki.*tar" | tr -d ">") wget -O - https://snaps.qubelabs.io/celestia/${SNAP_NAME} | tar xf - \ -C ~/.celestia-app/data/ Takes about 10-15 mins to download 6\. Start the Celestia-App with SystemD --------------------------------------- Set up celestia-appd as a background process. sudo tee </dev/null /etc/systemd/system/celestia-appd.service [Unit] Description=celestia-appd Cosmos daemon After=network-online.target [Service] User=$USER ExecStart=$HOME/go/bin/celestia-appd start Restart=on-failure RestartSec=3 LimitNOFILE=4096 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF enable and start the process sudo systemctl enable celestia-appd sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start celestia-appd Confirm its running systemctl status celestia-appd Output the Logs journalctl -u celestia-appd.service -f To Check for Sync State curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq .result | jq .sync_info Allow to sync before continuing 7\. Create Wallet ----------------- _If you need to create a wallet and connect to Mamaki Testnet network_ **Download Keplr and create wallet** Install [Keplr](https://www.keplr.app/) for chrome, and follow the steps to ‘create new wallet’ remember to save your seed phrase. **Connect Keplr to Mamaki Network** [https://aviaone.com/celestia-connect-wallet-keplr-testnet-mamaki.html](https://aviaone.com/celestia-connect-wallet-keplr-testnet-mamaki.html) if you have kerplr installed and active, you will be prompted to connect network, allow this **Request Test Tokens from the Faucet** find your address on the Keplr app after selecting the correct network for Celestia (Mamaki), copy your address from Keplr and request from the Celestia discord (LINK) on the ‘faucet’ channel `$request celestia1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` **Import Wallet** celestia-appd keys add $CELESTIA_WALLET --recover Enter Seed save address and valoper address (validator) as variables. _The valoper address is the wallets validator address, which appears in different format but derived from the same seed._ CELESTIA_ADDR=$(celestia-appd keys show $CELESTIA_WALLET -a) echo $CELESTIA_ADDR echo 'export CELESTIA_ADDR='${CELESTIA_ADDR} >> $HOME/.bashrc CELESTIA_VALOPER=$(celestia-appd keys show $CELESTIA_WALLET --bech val -a) echo $CELESTIA_VALOPER echo 'export CELESTIA_VALOPER='${CELESTIA_VALOPER} >> $HOME/.bashrc source $HOME/.bashrc We can get our address by running the command below celestia-appd keys show $CELESTIA_WALLET to display wallets in stored within the node celestia-appd keys list To Delete old wallets celestia-appd keys delete OLD_WALLET --keyring-backend=test 8\.

If you don’t know how to do this, there is a part on ‘Migration’ towards the end of this document, which describes the process on backing this up.

I’ve had to do this recently myself, so I am documenting a process for reference to minimise downtime. 1. **Backup Priv\_validator\_key.json** On the Old Device that you wish to retire Locate `priv_validator_key.json` it should be in here by default cd .celestia-app/config ls -la copy to a backup folder, double check the username with, replace with yours echo $USER mkdir /home//backups sudo cp /home//.celestia-app/config/priv\_validator\_key.json /home//backups **extract this file**, the method I’m using is to copy the contents of the file carefully to an external device, assuming you are accessing the server via a local device change permissions sudo chown USER:USER /home//backups/priv\_validator\_key.json Open the file for editing, in order to copy sudo nano /home//backups/priv\_validator\_key.json copy the contents carefully to a .txt file locally, to load onto the New server later. _NOTE: echo $CELESTIA\_WALLET the variable set up in this device build, want to label to same in the next build. (keep CELESTIA\_NODENAME consistent too)_ **2\. Start Node & Sync New Server** follow the steps for a validator up until Create wallet (Step 7) allow this node to fully sync, use snapshot (Step 5) to do this for a fast migration. **3\. Replace the Priv\_validator\_key.json on New Server** Stop the Node, **IMPORTANT** make sure you stop your node, before replacing the key sudo systemctl stop celestia-appd Open the `priv_validator_key.json` on the New Device for editing. In order to replace. sudo nano /home//.celestia-app/config/priv\_validator\_key.json replace the contents carefully with the old key data **4\. Ensure our Old Node is Stopped** To avoid slashing with possible double signing, head back to the Old Device and make sure we are shut down sudo systemctl stop celestia-appd confirm sudo systemctl status celestia-appd To be extra safe, having already backed up the important files, delete old wallet celestia-appd keys delete --keyring-backend=test celestia-appd keys list should display nothing This device can be shut down, and reinstalled. **5\. Recover Wallet on New Server** celestia-appd keys add $CELESTIA\_WALLET --recover Double check celestia-appd keys list check this is your wallet address, good idea to double check the environment variables and wallet output the same **6\. Restart node on New Server** we don’t need to create a validator again, simply restart the service. sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start celestia-appd journalctl -u celestia-appd.service -f Upgrading Celestia - PENDING Latest image at time of writing 0.6.0, any updated binaries (see announcements on discord) can be replaced. Making Changes on a Running Node- PENDING should you wish to change any settings such as P2P configuration settings **Stop Node** sudo systemctl stop celestia-appd systemctl status celestia-appd --- *Originally published on [GLCstaked](https://paragraph.com/@glcstaked/celestia-validator-node)*
