Linux Configuration

Running the node via service file​

To run your node via systemd, create the service file and open it:

nano /lib/systemd/system/ceremonyclient.service

Paste the below code (If your working directory is different from "root" than edit the code accordingly):

[Unit]
Description=Ceremony Client Go App Service

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5s
WorkingDirectory=/root/ceremonyclient/node
ExecStart=/root/ceremonyclient/node/release_autorun.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file, exit and enable the service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable ceremonyclient

Start the node

service ceremonyclient start

Now the node will start automaytically after each reboot. The service uses the release_autorun.sh script, so it will also periodically check for new releases.

If you prefer to run the node directly via binary, you can simply change the ExecStart line of the service file and use the correct binary file name there.

General Linux commands​

Change the NODE_DIR variable according to your needs

Get your peerID

NODE_DIR="$HOME/ceremonyclient/node"
NODE_BINARY=$(find "$NODE_DIR" -type f -executable -name "node-*" ! -name "*.dgst*" ! -name "*.sig*" | sort -V | tail -n 1 | xargs basename)
cd "$HOME/ceremonyclient/node" && ./$NODE_BINARY -peer-id


See node info
PeerID - Version - Max frame - Balance
This can give an error on nodes that are not fully sync, but you will still see your peerID

NODE_DIR="$HOME/ceremonyclient/node"
NODE_BINARY=$(find "$NODE_DIR" -type f -executable -name "node-*" ! -name "*.dgst*" ! -name "*.sig*" | sort -V | tail -n 1 | xargs basename)
cd "$HOME/ceremonyclient/node" && ./$NODE_BINARY -node-info


Check balance

NODE_DIR="$HOME/ceremonyclient/node"
NODE_BINARY=$(find "$NODE_DIR" -type f -executable -name "node-*" ! -name "*.dgst*" ! -name "*.sig*" | sort -V | tail -n 1 | xargs basename)
cd "$HOME/ceremonyclient/node" && ./$NODE_BINARY -balance
