Option 1 (Automatic)
cd $HOME && source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vnbnode/binaries/main/Projects/Avail/avail-auto.sh)
Option 2 (Manual)
Install Docker
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
echo \
"deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
"$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
1/ Pull image new
docker pull availj/avail:v1.10.0.0
2/ Run node
- Remove old chain data
rm -r $HOME/avail/chains/avail_goldberg_testnet/db
rm -r $HOME/avail/chains/avail_goldberg_testnet/network
- Download snapshot
sudo snap install lz4
curl -o - -L https://snapshots.avail.nexus/goldberg/avail_goldberg_testnet_snapshot_jan_31.tar.gz | tar -xz -C
- Run Node
Edit VNBnode --> Your Name
Nodename = VNBnode
sudo docker run --name avail -v $(pwd)/avail/:/da/avail:rw --network host -d --restart unless-stopped availj/avail:v1.10.0.0 --chain goldberg --name "${Nodename}" --validator -d /da/avail
3/ Open Port 30333
sudo ufw allow 30333/tcp
sudo ufw allow 30333/udp
4/ Check log node
docker logs -f avail
Create Validator
Navigate to the Goldberg network explorer at http://goldberg.avail.tools.
- Note:
Need 1000 AVL to create Validator
Follow the instruction from project: Guide
Step 1: Update system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Step 2: Install packages
sudo apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev build-essential git screen protobuf-compiler -y
Step 3: Install Rust
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Select 1 and enter
Step 4: Go to home
source $HOME/.cargo/env
Step 5: Update rust
rustup update nightly
Step 6: Add tools
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly
Step 7: Clone avail.git
git clone https://github.com/availproject/avail.git
Step 8: Access Avail folder
cd avail
Step 9: Build data
cargo build --release -p data-avail
This step takes long time to finish, be patient!
Step 10: Make output folder
mkdir -p output
mkdir -p data
Step 11: Switch git
git checkout v1.10.0.0
Step 12: Run
cargo run --locked --release -- --chain goldberg --validator -d ./output
This step also takes time, be patient! Once it finished, you will see this screen:
Then you can escape by ctrl + c
Step 13: Create service file
Step 14: Edit service file
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/availd.service
you will see this screen
Copy and Paste the content of service file as:
Replace “VNBnode” by “Yourname_VNBnode”.
