Pre-Requisite: Create Account and Node Key, Add account to network

Starting a RPC node (used for writes)

A RPC node contains only latest 256 blocks, this node should be used for writes

Note: Anyone can join the network after the council votes and closes the motion with successful membership and 'wellKnownNode' addition based on the specific keys of the user.

To join the network, one should be using the chain specification file 'confidex-alpha.json' provided in this repository. Follow below steps to download the file and start the instance on the node.

Note: if you do not have wget, install it using 'brew install wget' or Download the confidex-alpha.json from the browser and skip the first command

On a GNU/Linux node:

$ wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dhiway/confidex/main/confidex-alpha.json -P /data

Make sure the confidex-alpha.json file is under /data folder, along with the node.key

$ export ORG_ID="DHIWAY" # this can be changed as per your org

$ docker run --network host --name cord --detach -v /data:/data dhiway/cord:develop --name Confidex-${ORG_ID} --chain /data/confidex-alpha.json  --node-key-file /data/node.key --base-path /data

$ docker logs --since 1m -f cord

On a Mac instance:

$ wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dhiway/confidex/main/confidex-alpha.json -P /data

Make sure the confidex-alpha.json file is under /data folder, along with the node.key

$ export ORG_ID="DHIWAY" # this can be changed as per your org
$ docker run -p 9944:9944 --name cord --detach -v /data:/data dhiway/cord:develop --name Confidex-${ORG_ID} --chain /data/confidex-alpha.json  --node-key-file /data/node.key --base-path /data --unsafe-rpc-external
$ docker logs --since 1m -f cord

Once the logs have messages like below you are successfully started.
