Running a Matrixchain Node

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Matrixchain node on the Enjin network.

There are two different ways in which you can a Node, the first one being through Docker, and the second one through a Binary (either precompiled or Built from Source).
Docker
The Docker Image can be found on Docker Hub at: enjin/matrixchain​
You can use the following docker-compose.yml file:
1
services:
2
  matrixchain:
3
    container_name: matrxichain
4
    image: enjin/matrixchain:latest
5
    ports:
6
      - 9933:9933
7
      - 9615:9615
8
      - 30333:30333
9
      - 30334:30334
10
    volumes:
11
      - /MY/LOCAL/DIRECTORY:/chainstate
12
    command: [
13
      "--name=enjin-matrix-docker",
14
      "--rpc-external",
15
      "--rpc-cors=all",
16
      "--chain=mainnet",  
17
      "--base-path=/chainstate",
18
      "--",
19
      "--name=enjin-matrix-docker",
20
      "--port=30334", 
21
      "--chain=enjin",
22
      "--base-path=/chainstate"
23
    ]
Simply run the command docker-compose up -d to run the container.
Binary
Command
1
$ ./matrix --name "enjin-matrix-docker" --rpc-external --chain mainnet \
2
    -- --name="enjin-matrix-docker" --port 30334 --chain enjin
Connecting to your node
Depending on the use case, there are a couple of ways to connect to the node:
WebSocket Connection: ws://localhost:9933
HTTP Connection: http://localhost:9933
Advanced
The following changes pertain to running an Archive Node.
Archive Node
In order to run an archive node, the following argument needs to be passed to either the binary or added to the command section of the docker-compose.yml file:
--state-pruning archive
--blocks-pruning archive
These two arguments should be appended after line 19 in the docker-compose.yml file, or just before the backslash (\) on line 1 (end of line) of the Binary execution command.
