Pre-Requisites
First, update, upgrade, and clean the system:
Copy sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto-remove -y
sudo apt install ufw -y Configure Firewall Settings
Copy 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 4444 Install Docker
Run this command to remove any conflicting docker
Copy `for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done` Add Docker's official GPG key:
Copy sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc Add the repository to ppt sources:
Copy echo \
"deb [arch=$(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
Copy 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 Rootstock Node
Make and switch to the working directory for the Rootstock node
Copy mkdir rootstock && cd rootstock Create and edit the configuration file:
Paste the following content into the file You can find all the configuration options here
If you are interested in running the config for other networks, you can find the configs here
Copy blockchain.config.name = "main"
database.dir = /var/lib/rsk/database/mainnet

}
]
} Create and edit the docker compose file
Copy nano docker-compose.yml Paste the content into the compose file.
In this Docker Compose file, we are utilizing the prebuilt Rootstock node image available on dockerhub , where you can also find other prebuilt images.
Copy services:
rsk-node:
image: rsksmart/rskj:ARROWHEAD-6.3.1
container_name: rsk-node
ports:
- 5050:5050
- 4444:4444
volumes:
- rsk-data:/var/lib/rsk/.rsk
- ./node.conf:/etc/rsk/node.conf
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
rsk-data:
```
This section mounts the host's data directory for blockchain storage and the node.conf file for configuration into the container,
```bash
volumes:
- ./data:/var/lib/rsk/.rsk
- ./node.conf:/etc/rsk/node.conf Run the node
Monitor the node
Use docker logs to monitor the rootstock node. The -f flag ensures you are following the log output.
Copy docker logs -f rsk-node You should see a response similar to this once your node starts syncing
