Install Node Guide (Testnet)
============================

### Preparing the server

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && \
    sudo apt install curl tar wget clang pkg-config libssl-dev jq build-essential bsdmainutils git make ncdu gcc git jq chrony liblz4-tool -y
    

### GO 19 (one command)

    version="1.19.3" \
    && cd $HOME \
    && wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$version.linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
    && sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go \
    && sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$version.linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
    && rm "go$version.linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
    && echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile \
    && source $HOME/.bash_profile
    

### Download and install Binaries

    cd $HOME
    git clone https://github.com/JackalLabs/canine-chain
    cd canine-chain
    git checkout v23.01-beta
    make install
    

**_UPDATE_** 28.01.23

    cd $HOME/canine-chain
    git fetch --all
    git checkout v23.01-beta
    make install
    canined version
    #23.01-beta
    sudo systemctl restart canined && sudo journalctl -u canined -f -o cat
    

### Init

    canined init <MONIKER> --chain-id lupulella-2
    canined config chain-id lupulella-2
    

**Replace** `<MONIKER>` **To your moniker**

### Create/recover wallet

    canined keys add <walletname>
    canined keys add <walletname> --recover
    

when creating, do not forget to write down the seed phrase

### Genesis

    cd $HOME
    wget -O $HOME/.canine/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JackalLabs/jackal-chain-assets/main/testnet/genesis.json"
    

### Memory optimization (optional)

Memory optimization. Removes unused data from the database. | ONE COMMAND

`CONFIG=.canine`

`indexer="null" && \` `snapshot_interval="100" && \` `pruning="custom" && \` `pruning_keep_recent="100" && \` `pruning_keep_every="0" && \` `pruning_interval="10" && \` `min_retain_blocks="1" && \` `inter_block_cache="false" && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/config.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^snapshot-interval *=.*/snapshot-interval = \"$snapshot_interval\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^min-retain-blocks *=.*/min-retain-blocks = \"$min_retain_blocks\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml && \` `sed -i.bak -e "s/^inter-block-cache *=.*/inter-block-cache = \"$inter_block_cache\"/" $HOME/$CONFIG/config/app.toml`

### Live Peers for Jackal

Here is a script for you to update `persistent_peers` setting with these peers in `config.toml`.

    PEERS=5eedbfbe64b942f4ab54db3842acf3bfab034c24@161.97.74.88:46656
    sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.canine/config/config.toml
    

### Download addrbook

    wget -O $HOME/.canine/config/addrbook.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obajay/nodes-Guides/main/Jakal/Jackal-Testnet/addrbook.json"
    

Create a service file

    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/canined.service > /dev/null <<EOF
    [Unit]
    Description=Jackal Node
    After=network-online.target
    
    [Service]
    User=$USER
    ExecStart=$(which canined) start
    Restart=on-failure
    RestartSec=3
    LimitNOFILE=65535
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    EOF
    

### Start your node

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl enable canined
    sudo systemctl restart canined
    sudo journalctl -u canined -f -o cat
    

### Create validator

After your node is synced , Create your mainnet validator

    canined tx staking create-validator \
    --amount=1000000ujkl \
    --pubkey=$(canined tendermint show-validator) \
    --moniker="<Moniker>" \
    --identity="" \
    --details="" \
    --website="" \
    --chain-id="lupulella-2" \
    --commission-rate="0.10" \
    --commission-max-rate="0.20" \
    --commission-max-change-rate="0.1" \
    --min-self-delegation="1" \
    --fees 500ujkl \
    --from=<wallet> -y
    

Replace `<Moniker>` With your moniker and replace `<wallet>` with your wallet name

### Usefull comlambs

    journalctl -fu canined -o cat
    

Start service

    sudo systemctl start canined
    

Stop service

    sudo systemctl stop canined
    

Restart service

### Node info

Synchronization info

    canined status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
    

Validator info

    canined status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo
    

Node info

    canined status 2>&1 | jq .NodeInfo
    

Show node id

    canined tendermint show-node-id
    

### Wallet operations

List of wallets

    canined keys list

Redelegate stake from validator to another validator

    canined tx staking redelegate <srcValidatorAddress> <destValidatorAddress> 10000000ujkl --from=<wallet> --chain-id=lupulella-2 --gas=auto
    

Withdraw all rewards

    canined tx distribution withdraw-all-rewards --from=<wallet> --chain-id=lupulella-2 --gas=auto
    

Withdraw rewards with commision

    canined tx distribution withdraw-rewards <jackal valoper> --from=<wallet> --commission --chain-id=lupulella-2
    

### Validator management

Edit validator

    canined tx staking edit-validator \
      --moniker=<moniker> \
      --identity=<your_keybase_id> \
      --website="<your_website>" \
      --details="<your_validator_description>" \
      --chain-id=lupulella-2 \
      --from=<wallet>
    

Unjail validator

    canined tx slashing unjail \
      --broadcast-mode=block \
      --from=<wallet> \
      --chain-id=lupulella-2 \
      --gas=auto
    

### Delete node

This comlambs will completely remove node from server. Use at your own risk!

    sudo systemctl stop canined
    sudo systemctl disable canined
    sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/canined* -rf
    sudo rm $(which canined) -rf
    sudo rm $HOME/.canined* -rf
    sudo rm $HOME/canine-chain -rf
    sed -i '/JACKAL_/d' ~/.bash_profile
