Hello, Looking to run p2p on testnet. Searching the forums I’ve noticed "EnableP2P": true Searching I found IOG have a pre-production p2p config The only other documentation I found was this IOG blog post I would like to know if other operators are running the ‘official’ p2p and how they set i…

Update: Have a read of the release notes for 1.35.6. After reading the 1.35.6 release nodes , here is what I have been using for my P2P setup: mainnet-config.json: "EnableP2P":true, "MaxConcurrencyBulkSync": 2, "MaxConcurrencyDeadline": 2, "TargetNumberOfRootPeers": 100, "TargetNumberO…

There’s been a few topics here about p2p, the docs aren’t clear yet from IOG, but there’s been a few that have it going. [image] Cardano-node 1.33.0 in P2P mode on mainnet? Operate a Stake Pool Sorry, I don’t use that liveview script to monitor my nodes. You can grab dat…

I’m running p2p on preprod. Its pretty much plug and play using CNTOOLS. You can follow the guide I wrote here on setting up on pre-production or preview testnets. You can adjust and add peers to your p2p topology fairly easily. Once your node is discoverable, it may take some time to start con…

ive been trying p2p on mainnet - because someone has to I generally get between 0 and 1 connections. The most I ever got was 2. tldr; not worth it on mainnet at the moment.

Here are some info: input-output-hk/cardano-node/blob/master/doc/getting-started/understanding-config-files.md # Understanding your configuration files and how to use them #### The topology.json file Tells your node to which nodes in the network it should talk to. A minimal versio…

I have had most of my relays and my only block producer running in P2P mode on mainnet for several months now and have produced blocks without any problems. Here is how I set my configs: Relay config: /etc/cardano/mainnet-config.json changes: "TestEnableDevelopmentNetworkProtocols": true, "En…

Thanks for the responses :slight_smile: I also had to take into consideration the latest testnet environments. I won’t be using p2p in mainnet until I’ve done some extensive playing around in testnet.

Hi! Great summary. I would like to add 2 points: Local roots in relay topology file should contain not only your BP, but other your relays too. So if you have 1BP and 1 relay, then 2 records should be there. Regarding api.clio.one I don’t bother to use it. I do not run topology updater anymore f…

[image] os11k: Local roots in relay topology file should contain not only your BP, but other your relays too I did think about that but chose not to configure things that way. My reasoning was as follows: I don’t see any point in including all your own relays in each relay’s P2P topology fi…

Hi @Terminada ! Thank you for explonation! That is an interesting approach, I never thought about that. I personally would stick with topology file containing not only BPs, but your own relays too, I think that is most common and recommended approach.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and recommendations. I have upgraded to 1.35.4 with one relay and my BP on p2p. I have left one relay on normal mode as well for now. Your guide has been a great help!

There’s been a few topics here about p2p, the docs aren’t clear yet from IOG, but there’s been a few that have it going.

I’ve got my pre-prod machine running p2p. I can post the topology if that helps, but there is a topology on the docs.cardano website too https://docs.cardano.org/cardano-testnet/getting-started
