Hello, Ive followed your video instructions which were very great. My node is up and running and currently syncing. Whats the best way to have the node continuously running, while i shutdown my computer, and VPS.
Using the command below, like instructed in the video to get the node start… what would I put in-front of it or however to indicate to my server or OS that I want to keep this running non stop?
cardano-node run
–topology mainnet-topology.json
–database-path db
–socket-path db/node.socket
–host-addr 1xx.xx8.x6.xx1
–port 0000
–config mainnet-config.json
Look into either Tmux (sudo apt install tmux)
Some guide i found: which is not mine
There you can “detach”, and all your terminals will keep running in the background until you login again
Systemd unit files (more advanced)
Arch - Systemd wiki
See example here.
Quick and dirty method:
Nohup, easy to use, hard to get back / stop / do anything once “let go”…

Hi Andy,
Warning: I am a complete novice and went through the guide to start a node and ran into an issue here I believe. Can you explain more?
Thank you in advance.
thanks, that was a helpful guide.
i had to change shelley to mainnet, also on the command to start it as well.
Yeah, I found out. Thank you, sir. It is the one I am looking for. slight_smile:
