Run a Fuse Node

Fuse Network - Nethermind Node Bootstrap Script​

This custom script is designed to help you easily bootstrap your own node for either the Fuse mainnet or the Spark testnet.

Before proceeding, please ensure you have checked the minimum system requirements for Nethermind and the required disk speed.

Additionally, it is crucial to review the Security Considerations for Nethermind nodes, if you plan to run a validator using the Nethermind client.

Description​

Note: Currently, the script supports the following roles: node, bootnode, explorer and validator.

./quickstart.sh​

The Fuse Client - Bootstrap Your Own Node

Description:

This script allows you to run your own Fuse node locally based on a specified role.

Note:

quickstart.sh supports the following Linux/Unix-based distributions: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL.

Usage:

./quickstart.sh [-r|-n|-k||-v|-h|-u|-m]

Options:

  • -r Specify the node role. Available roles: node, bootnode, explorer, validator
  • -n Network (mainnet or testnet). Available values: fuse and spark
  • -k Node key name for https://health.fuse.io. Example: my-own-fuse-node
  • -v Script version
  • -u Unjail a node (Validator only)
  • -m Flag a node for maintenance (Validator only)
  • -h Help page

How to run​

wget -O quickstart.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fuseio/fuse-network/master/nethermind/quickstart.sh
chmod 755 quickstart.sh
./quickstart.sh -r [node_role] -n [network_name] -k [node_key]

Note: If the node is already configured, repeating this step with the same arguments will update the client if a new version is available.

Examples​

Run node for Fuse (Mainnet)

./quickstart.sh -r node -n fuse -k fusenet-node

Run bootnode for Spark (Testnet)

./quickstart.sh -r bootnode -n spark -k fusenet-spark-bootnode

Unjail a node

./quickstart.sh -u

Flag a node for maintenance

./quickstart.sh -m

Health Dashboard​

The node should appear on the health dashboard and can be monitored there.

For testnet: Spark health dashboard

Additionally, configure Nethermind monitoring by following the instructions here.
