Pre-Requisite: Create Account and Node Key, Add account to network
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 the /data folder, along with the node.key
$ docker ps
## make sure no cord process is running
$ export ORG_ID="DHIWAY" # this can be changed as per your org
$ docker run -p 9944:9944 --name cord-validator --detach -v /data:/data dhiway/cord:develop --name Confidex-${ORG_ID}-validator --chain /data/confidex-alpha.json --node-key-file /data/node.key --base-path /data --unsafe-rpc-external --validator --pruning=archive
More information on what are the parameters to add for running different type of nodes are present in CORD Documentation.
NOTE: A node which started without --pruning=archive, you may need to perform docker run -v /data:/data dhiway/cord:develop purge-chain --chain /data/confidex-alpha.json --base-path /data before running this.
For becoming 'Validator', there are 2 important steps:
- set the 'session' keys in the validator process.
- needs approval for the given account to be added as the 'authorityMembership'.
After starting the process, one needs to do a 'generate-session-keys' from the secret of the account generated above.
docker run -i -v /data:/data \
dhiway/cord:develop key generate-session-keys \
--chain /data/confidex-alpha.json \
--base-path /data \
--suri $SECRET_SEED

Once the session keys are generated, one needs to set the session keys using RPC with respective node.
$ export SESSIONKEYS=$('Session Keys:' field from above)
$ git clone https://github.com/dhiway/cord-session-setkey
$ cd cord-session-setkey
$ yarn
$ yarn set-key
