Setting up a t4l3nt node

Step-by-step instructions for setting up a t4l3nt node

It is very important that you never share your secret keys with anyone. A staff member will never ask you for your secret keys or any other sensitive information.

Install Docker

Installation on Ubuntu

Installation on MacOS

Run docker full node

docker run -d \
    -p 8733:8733 \
    -p 9733:9733 \
    --name t4l3nt-node \
    -v tlnt-data:/home/tlnt \
    t4l3nt/t4l3nt:latest

Full nodes will take several days to sync. See snapshots page to import a snapshot and drastically speed up the syncing process.

Run docker for a rolling node (only syncs recent cycles)

docker run -d -p 8733:8733 -p 9733:9733 -v tlnt-data:/home/tlnt t4l3nt/t4l3nt:v12-tlnt-rolling

Rolling node will sync quickly and takes far less disk space.

For running a full node we run the container in background using -d flag. Another option would be to run the container in interactive mode using the -it flag. You could then also detach your screen using tmux/screen. The name of the container is set to t4l3nt-node but this can be changed or removed.

If you experience errors with the provided Docker image you try to follow the instructions in Build the Docker Image locally

Start a bash session inside the container

docker exec -it t4l3nt-node bash

Inside the container, create a key pair for your node producer wallet

tlnt-client gen keys producer

Remember to never share your secret keys or sensitive information with anyone.

MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR KEY

you can view your private key with

cat ~/.tlnt-client/secret_keys (from inside the node bash session)

Copy your keys and save them somewhere securely. Write it down or save it in an encrypted disk with AES256 or better with a long complex password. Don't forget it. Back it up.

Get your public address and deposit FILMCredits

tlnt-client list known addresses

At this point, you are ready to start staking but you need to get some FILMCredits. Contact us with your public address so we can send you some FILM (for alphanet). For betanet, purchase your Miner Pack at app.decentralized.pictures.

Fully sync your node with the network

tlnt-client bootstrapped

Once the node is bootstrapped you can register your node as a producer

tlnt-client register key producer as delegate

Restart your node once it is bootstrapped and you've added yourself as a delegate.

supervisorctl restart all

You need at least 1 FILMReel (1000 FILMCredits) in order to stake in T4L3NT.

Congrats! You are now staking your balance on the network 🎉

Check peers list

tlnt-admin-client p2p stat

Check logs

cat /var/log/supervisor/tlnt-node.log

cat /var/log/supervisor/endorser.log

cat /var/log/supervisor/accuser.log

Make sure all are bootstrapped.
