Install Erigon & Nimbus services (archive mode) - Ajay1559/rocketpool-on-arm GitHub Wiki

To run Rocket Pool "Native Mode" we need to run all the services ourselves just like as if we were a solo staker ;)

Execution Client => Erigon

1. sudo useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin execution-chain

2. sudo mkdir -p /home/execution-chain/.ethereum

3. sudo chown -R execution-chain:execution-chain /home/execution-chain/

4. sudo vi /etc/ethereum/execution-chain.conf

    ARGS="--datadir /home/execution-chain/.ethereum \
    --mainnet \
    --metrics \
    --metrics.expensive \
    --pprof \
    --http \
    --authrpc.jwtsecret=/etc/ethereum/jwtsecret"
   

5. sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/execution-chain.service

    [Unit]
    Description=Ethereum Erigon client daemon in archive mode
    After=network.target
   
    [Service]
    EnvironmentFile=/etc/ethereum/execution-chain.conf
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/erigon $ARGS
    Restart=always
    User=execution-chain
    KillSignal=SIGTERM
    TimeoutStopSec=600
   
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

6. sudo systemctl daemon-reload

7. if the service is not already running and enabled on startup: sudo systemctl enable --now execution-chain

8. if you ever with to watch the logs sudo journalctl -u execution-chain -b -f

Consensus Client => Nimbus

1. sudo useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin consensus-chain

2. sudo mkdir -p /home/consensus-chain/.ethereum

3. sudo chown -R consensus-chain:consensus-chain /home/consensus-chain/

4. sudo vi /etc/ethereum/consensus-chain.conf

    ARGS="beacon \
    --network mainnet \
    --datadir /home/consensus-chain/.ethereum \
    --eth1 \
    --http \
    --metrics \
    --execution-endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8551 \
    --builder http://127.0.0.1:18550 \
    --execution-jwt /etc/ethereum/jwtsecret \
    --checkpoint-sync-url https://beaconstate.ethstaker.cc \
    --prune-payloads false"
   

5. sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/consensus-chain.service
