The Ronin Mainnet archive node has a size of 1.2TB on November 14th, 2024

Last updated at: 14th November 2024

Official docs - https://docs.roninchain.com/rpc/mainnet-rpc​

Pre-Requisites

First, update, upgrade, and clean the system:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto-remove -y
sudo apt install ufw -y

Configure Firewall Settings

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing

sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443
sudo ufw allow 8545
sudo ufw allow 8546
sudo ufw allow 30303
sudo ufw allow 6060

Install Docker

Run this command to remove any conflicting docker

`for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done`

Add Docker's official GPG key:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Add the repository to ppt sources:

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] 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

Install docker

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

# Test docker is working
sudo docker run hello-world

# Install docker compose

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin

# Test the docker version
docker compose version

Setup Ronin Node

Make and switch to the working directory for the ronin node

mkdir -p ~/ronin/docker
cd ~/ronin

Make a directory for the chain data

mkdir -p chaindata/data/ronin

Go into the docker directory, create a docker-compose.yml file with the following configuration:

version: "3"
services:
  node:
    image: ${NODE_IMAGE}
    stop_grace_period: 5m
    stop_signal: SIGINT
    hostname: node
    container_name: node
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:8545:8545
      - 127.0.0.1:8546:8546
      - 30303:30303
      - 30303:30303/udp
      - 6060:6060
    volumes:
      - ~/ronin/chaindata:/ronin
    environment:
      - SYNC_MODE=full
      - PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
      - NETWORK_ID=${NETWORK_ID}
      - RONIN_PARAMS=${RONIN_PARAMS}
      - VERBOSITY=${VERBOSITY}
      - MINE=${MINE}
      - GASPRICE=${GASPRICE}
      - ETHSTATS_ENDPOINT=${INSTANCE_NAME}:${CHAIN_STATS_WS_SECRET}@${CHAIN_STATS_WS_SERVER}:443

This compose file defines the node service that pulls a Ronin node image from the GitHub Container Registry.

Create an .env file and add the following content, replacing the <...> placeholder values with your information:

# The name of your node that you want displayed on https://ronin-stats.roninchain.com/
INSTANCE_NAME=<INSTANCE_NAME>

# The latest version of the node's image as listed in https://docs.roninchain.com/validators/setup/upgrade-validator
NODE_IMAGE=<NODE_IMAGE>

# The password used to encrypt the node's private key file
PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>

MINE=false

NETWORK_ID=2020
GASPRICE=20000000000
VERBOSITY=3

CHAIN_STATS_WS_SECRET=WSyDMrhRBe111
CHAIN_STATS_WS_SERVER=ronin-stats-ws.roninchain.com

RONIN_PARAMS=--http.api eth,net,web3,consortium --txpool.pricelimit 20000000000 --txpool.nolocals --cache 4096 --discovery.dns enrtree://[e-mail]

(Optional) Download the snapshot from the ronin-snapshot repo - If you want to sync the ronin chain data in time and not wait for weeks before it is fully synced.

cd ~/ronin/chaindata/data/ronin/
wget -q -O - <snapshot URL from the README file in the repo> | tar -I zstd -xvf -

Run the node

cd ~/ronin/docker && docker-compose up -d

Monitor the node

Use docker logs to monitor the rootstock node. The -f flag ensures you are following the log output.

docker logs node -f --tail 100

You should see a response similar to this once your node starts syncing

Query the node

To get the web3 client version

curl http://localhost:8545 -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"web3_clientVersion","params":[],"id":67}'

Output

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":67,"result":"ronin/v2.8.3-d27eb42e/linux-amd64/go1.20.10"}

To check the block number

curl -X POST http://localhost:8545/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

Output

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x26130a0"}
