Configuration.YAML

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
1

Built a node from source yesterday and I was able to get it to run with the testnet json files. As the build took quite a bit of time, I also set up a dockerized node to compare. The difference is that I needed to supply the configuration.yaml as a run parameter, which threw me off.

When I look at the source I see:
src/cardano-node/configuration/chairman/byron-shelley/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/chairman/shelly-only/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/defaults/byron-mainnet/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/defaults/byron-staging/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/defaults/byron-testnet/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/defaults/mainnet-silent/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/defaults/mainnet-via-fetcher/configuration.yaml
src/cardano-node/configuration/mainnet-ci/configuration.yaml

What is the recommended yaml for setting up a node for 1.27? The goal is to set up a staking pool, so if there’s a great place to start, can someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

Hi!
download mainnet configuration files from cardano-node github release page:

you will get json extension but that is compatible with yaml extension.

Thanks, @laplasz - I was thinking it made more sense to set up the node against the testnet as this is the first go at a staking pool. Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

For posterity, the link to the configuration files for 1.27 is https://hydra.iohk.io/build/6198010/download/1/index.html

Yeah - good point, so you need the testnet configuration files… available as well on the download page.

HI. I compared the json in the tagged release to that which is retrieved from the url in the setup documentation.
The release does not specify an AlonzoGenesisFile

https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/blob/8fe46140a52810b6ca456be01d652ca08fe730bf/configuration/cardano/mainnet-config.json#L4

But at the documentation url, that file is specified
https://hydra.iohk.io/build/6498473/download/1/mainnet-config.json

Sorry, I’m new to this, but it seems counter intuitive. I thought I read that Alonzo functionality built into the release, but feature toggled at the moment, so wouldn’t that file be needed?

So I guess I’m just not sure which file to start with. I’m trying not to make too many mistakes that I need to undo : { }

Thanks for you help.

Hi!

Now it is recommended to download the config files from the release page of a specific cardano-node version:

under Configuration files.
