1. Requirements

Officials:

2vCPU/8 GBRAM/50 GBSSD

Running the server on:

2vCPU/8 GBRAM/80 GBSSD

I recommend Hetzner.

I recommend MobaXTerm for SSH terminal.

2. Server Preparation

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev libclang-dev build-essential git curl ntp jq llvm tmux htop screen unzip cargo cmake -y

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

In the process, press "y" and press "1".

source "$HOME/.cargo/env"

3. Node Installation

mkdir .sui

git clone https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git

cd sui

git remote add upstream https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui

git fetch upstream

git checkout -B devnet --track upstream/devnet

cp crates/sui-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml fullnode.yaml

curl -fLJO https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui-genesis/raw/main/devnet/genesis.blob

git checkout 8a29394515eaf520cc6fa54bca8ce0c22db0dbc8

cargo build --release -p sui-node

4. Let's configure our node.

cd

mv sui/fullnode.yaml .sui

mv sui/genesis.blob .sui

nano .sui/fullnode.yaml

Open the file and change the line genesis-file-location: "genesis.blob" on genesis-file-location: "/root/.sui/genesis.blob"

Save and close with CTRL+X,Y, Enter

cp sui/target/release/sui-node /usr/bin

Create a systmed file. Copy everything below in its entirety

tee /etc/systemd/system/suid.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=sui
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sui-node --config-path /root/.sui/fullnode.yaml
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=10000
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

5. Launch our node.

sed -i.bak "s/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/" /root/.sui/fullnode.yaml

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable suid
systemctl start suid

journalctl -u suid -f

6. Checking our node.

In order to check our node, we need to go to https://node.sui.zvalid.com/ and enter our IP address

If you have the same as in the picture below, all is well and your node is working.

7. Update (if an update came out, then...)

systemctl stop suid

rm -rf /suidb
rm -rf /root/sui/suidb/
rm -rf /root/.sui/genesis.blob

wget -O /root/.sui/genesis.blob https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui-genesis/raw/main/devnet/genesis.blob

cd sui

git fetch upstream

git stash

git checkout -B devnet --track upstream/devnet

cargo build --release -p sui-node

cp target/release/sui-node /usr/bin

systemctl restart suid

journalctl -u suid -f

8. Useful commands.

View version

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9000/ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"rpc.discover","id":1}' | jq .result.info

or

grep 'version =' /root/sui/crates/sui/Cargo.toml -m 1

9. Deleting a node

systemctl stop suid

rm -rf /suidb

rm -rf sui

rm -rf .sui

rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/suid.service

In order to use the wallet, you do not need to connect your node. Just install the extension and make a couple of transactions plus NFT Mint. You can find detailed instructions here.
