Indexnode Build Instructions and Notes

Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 16.04+
  • Libraries to build from Index source
  • Port 7082 is open

Step 1. Build

1.1. Check out from source:

git clone https://github.com/IndexChain/Index

1.2. See README.md for instructions on building.

Step 2. (Optional - only if firewall is running). Open port 7082

2.1. Run:

sudo ufw allow 7082
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw enable

Step 3. First run on your Local Wallet

3.0. Go to the checked out folder

cd Index

3.1. Start daemon in testnet mode:

./src/indexd -daemon -server -testnet

3.2. Generate indexnodeprivkey:

./src/index-cli indexnode genkey

(Store this key)

3.3. Get wallet address:

./src/index-cli getaccountaddress 0

3.4. Send to received address exactly 1000 IDX in 1 transaction. Wait for 15 confirmations.

3.5. Stop daemon:

./src/index-cli stop

Step 4. In your VPS where you are hosting your Indexnode. Update config files

4.1. Create file index.conf (in folder ~/.index)

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
debug=1
txindex=1
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
maxconnections=24
indexnode=1
indexnodeprivkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  ## Replace with your indexnode private key
externalip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7082 ## Replace with your node external IP

4.2. Create file indexnode.conf (in 2 folders ~/.index and ~/.index/testnet3) contains the following info:

  • LABEL: A one word name you make up to call your node (ex. ZN1)
  • IP:PORT: Your indexnode VPS's IP, and the port is always 18168.
  • INDEXNODEPRIVKEY: This is the result of your "indexnode genkey" from earlier.
  • TRANSACTION HASH: The collateral tx. hash from the 1000 IDX deposit.
  • INDEX: The Index is always 0 or 1.

To get TRANSACTION HASH, run:

./src/index-cli indexnode outputs

The output will look like:

{ "d6fd38868bb8f9958e34d5155437d009b72dfd33fc28874c87fd42e51c0f74fdb" : "0", }

Sample of indexnode.conf:

ZN1 51.52.53.54:18168 XrxSr3fXpX3dZcU7CoiFuFWqeHYw83r28btCFfIHqf6zkMp1PZ4 d6fd38868bb8f9958e34d5155437d009b72dfd33fc28874c87fd42e51c0f74fdb 0

Step 5. Run a indexnode

5.1. Start indexnode:

./src/index-cli indexnode start-alias <LABEL>

For example:

./src/index-cli indexnode start-alias ZN1

5.2. To check node status:

./src/index-cli indexnode debug

If not successfully started, just repeat start command
