ITN Installer

This repository contains an easy to use installer to run a Dusk Network node for our ITN program.

Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS x64

  • OpenSSL 3

This installer is specifically built for Ubuntu 22.04 x64. It might work on older or newer versions.

Packages

The installer comes with the following packages:

  • Rusk service

  • Rusk wallet CLI

Folder layout

The configuration files, binaries, services and scripts can be found in /opt/dusk/.

The log files can be found in /var/log/rusk.{err,log}.

Installation

ℹ️ To run the latest release of the ITN installer execute the following command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://github.com/dusk-network/itn-installer/releases/download/v0.1.0/itn-installer.sh | sudo sh

⚠️ CAUTION To run the not release yet unstable version of the ITN installer execute the following command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dusk-network/itn-installer/main/itn-installer.sh | sudo sh

Configuration

The installer comes with sane defaults, only requiring minimal configuration. Before the Rusk service can be started, the CONSENSUS_KEYS and DUSK_CONSENSUS_KEYS_PASS need to be provided.

The CONSENSUS_KEYS can be either moved to /opt/dusk/conf/ from another system or generated on the node itself and moved there.

Set consensus keys

To generate the provisioner keys locally, run rusk-wallet and either create a new wallet or use a recovery phrase with rusk-wallet restore.

To generate and export the provisioner key-pair and put the .keys file in the right directory with the right name, copy the following command:

rusk-wallet export -d /opt/dusk/conf -n consensus.keys

Set consensus password

Run the following command and it will prompt you to enter the password for the consensus keys file:

/opt/dusk/bin/setup_consensus_pwd.sh

Start Rusk

Everything should be configured now and the node is ready to run. Use the following commands:

service rusk start

Check the status of the Rusk service by running:

service rusk status

Stake

Stake Balance. Use the following commands:

rusk-wallet stake --amt 1000

Check the status Stake:

rusk-wallet stake-info

Check node is participating in consensus and creating blocks

grep "execute_state_transition" /var/log/rusk.log | tail -n 5

Diagnostics

Check if your node is syncing, processing and accepting new blocks:

tail -F /var/log/rusk.log | grep " block accepted"

Check if your node is participating in consensus and trying to create blocks:

tail -F /var/log/rusk.log | grep "execute_state_transition"

Or to check if it did so in the past:

 grep execute_state_transition /var/log/rusk.log

To check for errors in the Rusk service:

cat /var/log/rusk.err
