Full node with Docker

If you DO NOT already have docker installed, there will be a prompt for you to install it. Follow the instructions given.

• Pull docker images

docker pull ghcr.io/pundix/pundix:latest

• Initializing pundix

docker run -v $HOME/.pundix:/root/.pundix ghcr.io/pundix/pundix:latest init pxlocal

• Download genesis (copy and run each line, line by line)

Mainnet

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pundix/pundix/main/public/mainnet/genesis.json -O ~/.pundix/config/genesis.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pundix/pundix/main/public/mainnet/config.toml -O ~/.pundix/config/config.toml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pundix/pundix/main/public/mainnet/app.toml -O ~/.pundix/config/app.toml

Testnet

IMPORTANT At this stage BEFORE starting the node, please download the latest snapshot, refer to this link.

And at this stage, what is important is your validator keys that is stored in a .json file for you to do a recovery in the future. For more information how to access the files.

• Run docker

docker run --name pundix -d --restart=always -p 26656:26656 -p 26657:26657 -p 1317:1317 -p 26660:26660 -v $HOME/.pundix:/root/.pundix ghcr.io/pundix/pundix:latest start

To check if pundix is synced:

docker exec -it pundix /bin/sh
# the docker name is pundix and CLI is pundixd
pundixd status

It will return something like this:

To ensure that the blocks are synced up with your node, under "SyncInfo", "catching_up" should be false "catching_up": false. This may take a few hours and your node has to be fully synced up before proceeding to the next step. You may cross reference the latest block you are synced to "SyncInfo": "latest_block_height" and the latest block height of our Testnet blockchain on our Testnet blockchain explorer or our Mainnet.

Make sure that every node has a unique priv_validator.json. DO NOT copy the priv_validator.json from an old node to multiple new nodes. Running two nodes with the same priv_validator.json will cause you to double sign.
