DijetsNodeGo Configuration

DijetsNodeGo can be started with specifying the configuration of a node with any of the arguments below.

Config File#

--config-file (string)

Path to a JSON file that specifies this node's configuration. Command line arguments will override arguments set in the config file. This flag is ignored if --config-file-content is specified.

Example JSON config file:

{
  "log-level": "debug"
}

info

Install Script creates the node config file at ~/.dijetsnodego/configs/node.json. No default file is created if DijetsNodeGo is built from source, you would need to create it manually if needed.

--config-file-content (string)

As an alternative to --config-file, it allows specifying base64 encoded config content.

--config-file-content-type (string)

Specifies the format of the base64 encoded config content. JSON, TOML, YAML are among currently supported file format (see here for full list). Defaults to JSON.

APIs#

--api-admin-enabled (boolean)

If set to true, this node will expose the Admin API. Defaults to false. See here for more information.

--api-auth-required (boolean)

If set to true, API calls require an authorization token. Defaults to false. See here for more information.

--api-auth-password (string)

The password needed to create/revoke authorization tokens. If --api-auth-required=true, must be specified; otherwise ignored. See here for more information.

--api-health-enabled (boolean)

If set to false, this node will not expose the Health API. Defaults to true. See here for more information.

--index-enabled (boolean)

If set to true, this node will enable the indexer and the Index API will be available. Defaults to false. See here for more information.

--api-info-enabled (boolean)

If set to false, this node will not expose the Info API. Defaults to true. See here for more information.

--http-shutdown-timeout (duration)

Maximum duration to wait for existing connections to complete during node shutdown. Defaults to 10s.

Bootstrapping#

--bootstrap-beacon-connection-timeout (duration)

Timeout when attempting to connect to bootstrapping beacons. Defaults to 1m.

--bootstrap-ids (string)

Bootstrap IDs is a comma-separated list of validator IDs. These IDs will be used to authenticate bootstrapping peers. An example setting of this field would be --bootstrap-ids="NodeID-7Xhw2mDxuDS44j42TCB6U5579esbSt3Lg,NodeID-MFrZFVCXPv5iCn6M9K6XduxGTYp891xXZ". The number of given IDs here must be same with number of given --bootstrap-ips. The default value depends on the network ID.

--bootstrap-ips (string)

Bootstrap IPs is a comma-separated list of IP:port pairs. These IP Addresses will be used to bootstrap the current Dijets state. An example setting of this field would be --bootstrap-ips="127.0.0.1:12345,1.2.3.4:5678". The number of given IPs here must be same with number of given --bootstrap-ids. The default value depends on the network ID.

--bootstrap-retry-enabled (boolean)

If set to false, will not retry bootstrapping if it fails. Defaults to true.

--bootstrap-retry-warn-frequency (uint)

Specifies how many times bootstrap should be retried before warning the operator. Defaults to 50.

--bootstrap-ancestors-max-containers-sent (uint)

Max number of containers in an Ancestors message sent by this node. Defaults to 2000.

--bootstrap-ancestors-max-containers-received (unit)

This node reads at most this many containers from an incoming Ancestors message. Defaults to 2000.

State Syncing#

--state-sync-ids (string)

State sync IDs is a comma-separated list of validator IDs. The specified validators will be contacted to get and authenticate the starting point (state summary) for state sync. An example setting of this field would be --state-sync-ids="NodeID-7Xhw2mDxuDS44j42TCB6U5579esbSt3Lg,NodeID-MFrZFVCXPv5iCn6M9K6XduxGTYp891xXZ". The number of given IDs here must be same with number of given --state-sync-ips. The default value is empty, which results in all validators being sampled.

--state-sync-ips (string)

State sync IPs is a comma-separated list of IP:port pairs. These IP Addresses will be contacted to get and authenticate the starting point (state summary) for state sync. An example setting of this field would be --state-sync-ips="127.0.0.1:12345,1.2.3.4:5678". The number of given IPs here must be the same with the number of given --state-sync-ids.

Chain Configs#

Some blockchains allow the node operator to provide custom configurations for individual blockchains. These custom configurations are broken down into two categories: network upgrades and optional chain configurations. DijetsNodeGo reads in these configurations from the chain configuration directory and passes them into the VM on initialization.

:::note Please replace chain-config-dir and blockchainID with their actual values. :::

Network upgrades are passed in from the location: chain-config-dir/blockchainID/upgrade.*. Upgrade files are typically json encoded and therefore named upgrade.json. However, the format of the file is VM dependent. After a blockchain has activated a network upgrade, the same upgrade configuration must always be passed in to ensure that the network upgrades activate at the correct time.

The chain configs are passed in from the location chain-config-dir/blockchainID/config.*. Upgrade files are typically json encoded and therefore named upgrade.json. However, the format of the file is VM dependent. This configuration is used by the VM to handle optional configuration flags such as enabling/disabling APIs, updating log level, etc. The chain configuration is intended to provide optional configuration parameters and the VM will use default values if nothing is passed in.

--chain-config-dir (string)

Specifies the directory that contains chain configs. Defaults to $HOME/.dijetsnodego/configs/chains. If this flag is not provided and the default directory does not exist, DijetsNodeGo will not exit since custom configs are optional. However, if the flag is set, the specified folder must exist, or DijetsNodeGo will exit with an error. This flag is ignored if --chain-config-content is specified.

--chain-config-content (string)

As an alternative to --chain-config-dir, chains custom configurations can be loaded altogether from command line via --chain-config-content flag. Content must be base64 encoded.

--chain-aliases-file (string)

Path to JSON file that defines aliases for Blockchain IDs. Defaults to ~/.dijetsnodego/configs/chains/aliases.json. This flag is ignored if --chain-aliases-file-content is specified. Example content:

{
  "2K33xS9AyP9oCDiHYKVrHe7F54h2La5D8erpTChaAhdzeSu2RX": [
    "Swimmer"
  ]
}

The above example aliases the Blockchain whose ID is "2K33xS9AyP9oCDiHYKVrHe7F54h2La5D8erpTChaAhdzeSu2RX" to "Swimmer". Chain aliases are added after adding primary network aliases and before any changes to the aliases via the admin API. This means that the first alias included for a Blockchain on a Subnet will be treated as the "Primary Alias" instead of the full blockchainID. The Primary Alias is used in all metrics and logs.

--chain-aliases-file-content (string)

As an alternative to --chain-aliases-file, it allows specifying base64 encoded aliases for Blockchains.

Database#

--db-dir (string, file path)

Specifies the directory to which the database is persisted. Defaults to "$HOME/.dijetsnodego/db".

--db-type (string)

Specifies the type of database to use. Must be one of leveldb or memdb. memdb is an in-memory, non-persisted database.

Database Config#

--db-config-file (string)

Path to the database config file. Ignored if --config-file-content is specified.

--db-config-file-content (string)

As an alternative to --db-config-file, it allows specifying base64 encoded database config content.

Public IP#

Validators must know one of their public facing IP addresses so they can enable other nodes to connect to them.

By default, the node will attempt to perform NAT traversal to get the node's IP according to its router.

--public-ip (string)

If this argument is provided, the node assume this is its public IP.

:::tip When running a local network it may be easiest to set this value to 127.0.0.1. :::

--staking-tls-cert-file (string, file path)

Dijets uses two-way authenticated TLS connections to securely connect nodes. This argument specifies the location of the TLS certificate used by the node. By default, the node expects the TLS certificate to be at $HOME/.dijetsnodego/staking/staker.crt. This flag is ignored if --staking-tls-cert-file-content is specified.

--staking-tls-cert-file-content (string)

As an alternative to --staking-tls-cert-file, it allows specifying base64 encoded content of the TLS certificate used by the node. Note that full certificate content, with the leading and trailing header, must be base64 encoded.

--staking-tls-key-file (string, file path)

Dijets uses two-way authenticated TLS connections to securely connect nodes. This argument specifies the location of the TLS private key used by the node. By default, the node expects the TLS private key to be at $HOME/.dijetsnodego/staking/staker.key. This flag is ignored if --staking-tls-key-file-content is specified.

--staking-tls-key-file-content (string)

As an alternative to --staking-tls-key-file, it allows specifying base64 encoded content of the TLS private key used by the node. Note that full private key content, with the leading and trailing header, must be base64 encoded.

Subnets#

Subnet Tracking#

--track-subnetworks (string)

Comma separated list of Subnet IDs that this node would track if added to. Defaults to empty (will only validate the Primary Network).

It is possible to provide parameters for Subnets. Parameters here apply to all chains in the specified Subnets. Parameters must be specified with a {subnetID}.json config file under --subnetwork-config-dir. DijetsNodeGo loads configs for Subnets specified in --track-subnetworks parameter.

Full reference for all configuration options for a Subnet can be found in a separate Subnet Configs document.

--subnetwork-config-dir (string)

Specifies the directory that contains Subnet configs, as described above. Defaults to $HOME/.dijetsnodego/configs/subnetworks. If the flag is set explicitly, the specified folder must exist, or DijetsNodeGo will exit with an error. This flag is ignored if --subnetwork-config-content is specified.

Example: Let's say we have a Subnet with ID p4jUwqZsA2LuSftroCd3zb4ytH8W99oXKuKVZdsty7eQ3rXD6. We can create a config file under the default subnetwork-config-dir at $HOME/.dijetsnodego/configs/subnetworks/p4jUwqZsA2LuSftroCd3zb4ytH8W99oXKuKVZdsty7eQ3rXD6.json. An example config file is:
