Only on relay nodes… on BP you will add manually your relays in topology file
The script should run 1/ hour
Ok: topology updater also announce your ip into the network to permit other pool operators to connect automatically to your relay; u have more options:
not running topologyupdater ( in this case your topology will be statically (always same peers)) but in this case you should be in touch with other operators asking them to add your relay ip mannualy in their topology file (also u will add them in your topology file)
in this scenario you will have forever the same topology and you will need to modify the topology file /restart the node everytime when you will add/remove a peer
you can run topology updater for a full dinamic topology (you will have statically only your BP ip added to custom peers in topology updater script)
in this scenario it’s better to restart your relay frecventely , 1/12 hours
you can also add to custom peers few relays and also dynamicaly connect but also is necessary a reboot from time to time for your relay ( for eg: max peers 10 and custom peer 7) you should keep the ballance… recomendations is arround 20 peers
