The Mode Mainnet archive node has a size of 562G on October 21st, 2024

Mode

Mode operates within Optimism Superchain ecosystem. It is powered by the , leveraging the scalability and security of Optimism's Layer 2 infrastructure.

In this guide, we are walking through the process of setting up a Mode Mainnet archive node using Optimism's op-geth and op-node.

Before you start, make sure that you have your own synced Ethereum L1 RPC URL (e.g. Erigon) and L1 Consensus Layer Beacon endpoint with all historical blobs data (e.g. Lighthouse) ready. A beacon endpoint meeting this criteria is essential for syncing to start.

Hint: has a free plan enough to sync a node

Pre-Requisites

To run the archive node using Docker, we need the following installed:

Docker
Python3
git

Commands:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto-remove -y
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose git ufw -y

Firewall Setting:

Set explicit default UFW rules

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing

Allow SSH, HTTP and HTTPS

sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443

Allow Remote connection:

sudo ufw allow from ${REMOTE.HOST.IP} to any port 8545 
sudo ufw allow from ${REMOTE.HOST.IP} to any port 7545

Firewall Basic commands:

sudo ufw enable

Running the node

Clone repo:

cd /mnt/
git clone git@github.com:mode-network/rollup-node.git

Set Environment variable

export CONDUIT_NETWORK=mode-mainnet-0

Download network configuration with

cd /mnt/rollup-node
./download-config.py $CONDUIT_NETWORK
cp .env.example .env

Update Environment Variable (.env):

OP_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC=
OP_NODE_L1_BEACON=
CONDUIT_NETWORK=mode-mainnet-0

Create Data Directory:

You can create a data directory wherever you want. For this tutorial, we have created it at /mnt/mode-data

Update Docker Compose file:

services:
  op-geth: # this is Optimism's geth client
    ...
    volumes:
      - /mnt/mode-data:/data # enable to have persistency between restarts
      ...

Example Docker Compose:

version: '3.8'

services:
  op-geth: # this is Optimism's geth client
    pull_policy: always
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: op-geth.Dockerfile
    ports:
      - 8545:8545       # RPC
      - 8546:8546       # websocket
      - 30303:30303     # P2P TCP (currently unused)
      - 30303:30303/udp # P2P UDP (currently unused)
      - 7301:6060       # metrics
    env_file:
      - .env.default
      - networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/.env
      - .env
    volumes:
      #- ./geth-data/:/data # enable to have persistency between restarts
      - ./networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/genesis.json:/genesis.json
  op-node:
    pull_policy: always
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: op-node.Dockerfile
    depends_on:
      - op-geth
    ports:
      - 7545:8545     # RPC
      - 9222:9222     # P2P TCP
      - 9222:9222/udp # P2P UDP
      - 7300:7300     # metrics
      - 6060:6060     # pprof
    env_file:
      - .env.default
      - networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/.env
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/rollup.json:/rollup.json
      - ./networks/${CONDUIT_NETWORK:?set network}/genesis.json:/genesis.json

Start Services Containers:

docker compose up -d --build

Check Status:

Below is the command for the request:

curl -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false]}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545 | jq .

You will see a response like:
