Join a Testnet

Requirements

• Have keosd running (look at local-wallet guide)
• Have a local node built and installed (look at new-node guide)
• Have git installed
• Have a computer with decent specifications

Jungle Testnet:

1. Generate EOS key pair from cleos and save it privately in a safe place:

   ./cleos create key

2. Set up data directory

    git clone https://github.com/CryptoLions/EOS-Jungle-Testnet.git /opt/JungleTestnet
    cd /opt/JungleTestnet
    chmod 777 start.sh stop.sh

3. Open up start.sh and replace the directory with your EOS node directory (e.g. /home/eos-dawn-v3.0.0)

   NODEOSBINDIR="/home/eos-dawn-v3.0.0/eos/build/programs/nodeos"

4. Head on over to http://jungle.cryptolions.io:9898/monitor/ and come up with a jungle related animal name not taken (no capitals/spaces, only lower case alphabetical names or .).

5. Using your new jungle animal and the local-wallet.md guide:
   a. Create account in cleos with the jungle animal name (for example lion)
   b. Create new public:private key pair
   c. Add your public:private key pair to your new account.

6. Add newly created account to wallet in keosd.

7. Open up config.ini and do the following:

   • Replace line 85

     producer-name = YOUR_PB_NAME

     with your own jungle animal name like

     producer-name = lion

   • Add your public and private key

     private-key = ["YOUR_PUBKEY","YOUR_PRIVKEY"]

   • Replace line 16

     p2p-server-address = your-domain:9876

     with YOUR OWN ip address or domain name like

     p2p-server-address = eoscalgary.com:9876

8. Open up ports 8888 and 9876 on your router/cloud setup

Check firewall status

sudo ufw status verbose

Open ports

sudo ufw allow <port>/tcp

9. Start your node with the command:

   ./start.sh

10. Open up http://your_website:your_http_port/v1/chain/get_info to see if you get a JSON response. If so, your node has been correctly configured.
11. Once your node is syncing, message Bohdan at https://t.me/jungletestnet with this information:

Server Location	Organisation	node ip/domain,	Port (http)	Port (p2p)	producer name	your public key

Reading log messages

Use this command to have a stream of log messages
