Become a Lite Node

Configure config.json​

To set up your Lite Node, you need to configure the config.json file, which defines the network parameters for your node.

Step 1: Open the config.json​

File is located in the inery.setup/tools/ directory, open it using a text editor like nano:

 nano tools/config.json

Step 2: Locate the "LITE_NODE" section​

Replace the placeholder YOUR_DNS_OR_IP values with the actual IP or DNS address of your server:

Config.json
    "LITE_NODE" : {
        "PEER_ADDRESS" : "YOUR_DNS_OR_IP:9010",
        "HTTP_ADDRESS": "0.0.0.0:8888",
        "HOST_ADDRESS": "0.0.0.0:9010"
    }
caution
  • PEER_ADDRESS: Replace IP with the actual IP or DNS address of your Lite Node server.
  • HTTP_ADDRESS: Defines the HTTP server address for the node’s API (default: 0.0.0.0:8888).
  • HOST_ADDRESS: Specifies the network address for the node (default: 0.0.0.0:9010).

Step 3: Save your changes​

If you used nano editor like in above example you can commit changes typing :

  • Press Ctrl + S to save.
  • Type Y to confirm.
  • Press Ctrl + X to exit.

Start Lite Node​

After configuring the config.json file, from the inery-setup directory you can now start the Inery Testnet protocol as Lite Node using the ine.py script with --lite option.

./ine.py --lite

Verify Protocol Started Successfully​

To verify if the protocol started successfully, you can monitor the nodine.log file for synchronization activity. This log file contains detailed information about the node's operations and network connections.

tail -f lite.node/blockchain/nodine.log

info

This output indicates that the ledger is replaying the block history correctly. To start integrating with the network, wait until the ledger is fully synchronized with the current block number. Depending on the last irreversible block in the ledger, the number of peers, and your internet bandwidth, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to become a fully operational Lite Full Node.
