IOTEX TestNet Instructions

Run the following command to start a node:

docker run \
    -p 14014:14014 \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -p 7788:7788 \
    -p 4689:4689 \
    -v=/tmp:/var/data:rw
    -v=/path/to/iotex-testnet/config.yaml:/etc/iotex/config_override.yaml:ro \
    -v=/path/to/iotex-testnet/testnet_actions.yaml:/etc/iotex/testnet_actions_override.yaml:ro \
    -v=/path/to/iotex-testnet/genesis.yaml:/etc/iotex/genesis.yaml:ro \
    iotex/iotex-core:v0.5.0-rc1 \
    iotex-server -config-path=/etc/iotex/config_override.yaml -genesis-path=/etc/iotex/genesis.yaml

Replace /path/to/ with your actual paths.

Replace /tmp with the path that you want to persist the blockchain data and logs. If you want to make a clean restart, please delete files in this directory.

If you have an external IP address, please replace it with externalHost in config.yaml, and enable it and externalPort.

By default, an arbitrary key will be created every time you run the node. You could specify your key in config.yaml to always use the same keys throughout runs. You can generate keys by:

./ioctl account create
