Running a Relaychain Node

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Relaychain 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/relaychain​
You can use the following docker-compose.yml file:
1
services:
2
  relaychain:
3
    container_name: relaychain
4
    image: enjin/relaychain:latest
5
    ports:
6
      - 9933:9933
7
      - 9944:9944  
8
      - 9615:9615  
9
      - 30333:30333
10
      - 30334:30334
11
    volumes:
12
      - /MY/LOCAL/DIRECTORY:/chainstate
13
    command: [
14
      "--name=enjin-relay-docker",
15
      "--ws-external", 
16
      "--rpc-external",
17
      "--rpc-cors=all",
18
      "--chain=enjin",  
19
      "--base-path=/chainstate"
20
    ]
Simply run the command docker-compose up -d to run the container.
Binary
Command
1
$ ./matrix --name "enjin-relay-docker" --ws-external --rpc-external --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:9944
RPC (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:
--pruning-archive
This should be appended after line 19 in the docker-compose.yml file, or at the end of the Binary execution command.
