Running the Node
Once you have downloaded all the required binaries, you'll have to run the node. We'll start by generating the bioauth key.
Generate your bioauth key, the one that is to be used for enrolment and authentication.
$ humanode-peer key generate
Secret phrase: drop find ginger chief worry trial electric sense long deer lock north
Network ID: substrate
Secret seed: 0xd35f23dd8c1672467c57a55dcf8d6761dd2238fec489e1c8cf90c437b18aefce
Public key (hex): 0xf8eb7c948e3889c3149296e5a25b25f98f4814e781968cf5876f8cab474d480f

Copy the secret phrase and import it into Keystore.
$ humanode-peer key insert --key-type kbai --suri "$SECRET_PHRASE" \
--chain chainspec.json --scheme sr25519
Where:
--key-type kbai
- bioauth key type used in the Humanode networks.--suri "$SECRET_PHRASE"
- your secret phrase (i.e., mnemonic) from the previous command.--chain chainspec.json
- path to the Humanode chain specification file.
The humanode peer uses
9933
RPC endpoint by default. You are free to use any of your choices. But don't forget to explicitly specify the same port during the peer-run in case using a different one from 9933
..Run the tunnel using
ngrok-wrapper
$ ngrok-wrapper 9933
There are 2 options to run it:
- Using
--rpc-url-ngrok-detect
subcommand to automatically detect RPC URLs fromngrok-wrapper
that you have already launched before.$ humanode-peer --name "$NAME" --validator --chain chainspec.json \--rpc-url-ngrok-detect --rpc-cors all - You can manually specify RPC URL from
ngrok-wrapper
output console.$ humanode-peer --name "$NAME" --validator --chain chainspec.json \--rpc-url "$RPC_URL" --rpc-cors all
Where:
--name "$NAME"
- where$NAME
is your Humanode peer name.--validator
- means that you join the network as a block producer.--chain chainspec.json
- a path to the file that contains Humanode chain specification.--rpc-url "$RPC_URL"
- the peer's RPC URL, where$RPC_URL
is the URL that you noted at thengrok-wrapper
configuration step, or your own URL if you're not usingngrok-wrapper
.--rpc-url-ngrok-detect
- to detect peer's RPC URL automatically fromngrok-wrapper
(mutually exclusive with--rpc-url
).
We strongly recommend using
--rpc-url-ngrok-detect
subcommand to avoid facing unexpected issues.Your node has been installed and configured successfully. Now move to the Guide to Become a Validator.
