Again errors from the topology file… check again… show me again

169

the topology.json should be in /opt/cardano/cnode/scripts right?

170

There is no spaces between.

171

The topolgy is in files folder

cd $CNODE_HOME/files

U don’t see the spaces from the end of each line before , ?

“addr” : “173.249.3.137” ,

“port” : 6000 ,

Should be

“addr” : “173.249.3.137”,

“port” : 6000,

Amazing, thanks Alex!

I’m thinking about start with two VPS S in Contabo (one for Relay, one for BP) with Ubuntu 20.04. What do you think?

Thanks again!

175

I will recommend VPS M but you cand start with S and after u can upgrade to M…

Cheers,

176

Great!

I supose I must create a private network between relay and BP and deny internet access to BP. I supose the private network between the VPSs must be created by CONTABO. Is’n it?

Thanks!

177

if u have questions you should contact contab before… I can’t answer to these questions… I don’t know… there are public servers. I closed all ports for BP and accepted only the relays

Hi Alex, I mentioned you pool in my song :slight_smile: Here is the link:

I had a query about which keys are absolutely necessary and should be kept in the Block Producing node after a pool has been registered and when everything is set.

I see so many keys in the BP node. Which of these are absolutely necessary for running the pool and are mandatory for pool operation?

Keys-Query

Hello,

Wow I love the song, thank you for mentioning my pool;

U must bkp the all files download them from server and for security u need to delete cold keys from pool folder and payment.skey and stake.skey from wallet folder

!!! Delete them only if u are 100% u bkp correct the files… without them u will can’t access ur wallet funds anymore and also without cold keys u will can’t modify the pool

There is another option

  • download the all priv folder from ur node
  • store them somewhere safe (like an USB)
  • after go in cntools and encrypt the wallet files and folder files (use strong password but u should not loss it)
  • now ur files from server are encrypted (.gpg extension) and even someone will stolle them he still need the password for decrypt…

Hey Alex, is this guide specifically for Linux, or can it be used on Windows and Mac OSX?
