History

Chris Beams 849bd7c286 Move 'maxMemory' option handling to Config Note that the default value of 600 advertised in BisqExecutable's option handling was incorrect. The actual value had since become 1200 MB. This correct default is now reflected in Config's option handling.		2020-01-20 16:39:30 +01:00

Bisq Seed Node

Hardware

Highly recommended to use SSD! Minimum specs:

CPU: 4 cores
RAM: 8 GB
SSD: 512 GB (HDD is too slow)

Software

The following OS are known to work well:

Ubuntu 18
FreeBSD 12

Installation

Start with a clean Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server installation, and run the script

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bisq-network/bisq/master/seednode/install_seednode_debian.sh | sudo bash

This will install and configure Tor, Bitcoin, and Bisq-Seednode services to start on boot.

Firewall

Next, configure your OS firewall to only allow SSH and Bitcoin P2P

ufw allow 22/tcp
ufw allow 8333/tcp
ufw enable

Syncing

After installation, watch the Bitcoin blockchain sync progress

sudo tail -f /bitcoin/debug.log

After Bitcoin is fully synced, start the bisq-seednode service

sudo systemctl start bisq-seednode
sudo journalctl --unit bisq-seednode --follow

After Bisq is fully synced, check your Bitcoin and Bisq onion hostnames:

sudo -H -u bitcoin bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo|grep address
sudo cat /bisq/bisq-seednode/btc_mainnet/tor/hiddenservice/hostname

Testing

After your Bisq seednode is ready, test it by connecting to your new btcnode and bisq-seednode!

macOS:

/Applications/Bisq.app/Contents/MacOS/Bisq --seedNodes=foo.onion:8000 --btcNodes=foo.onion:8333

Upgrading

To upgrade your seednode to a new tag, for example v1.2.5

sudo -u bisq -s
cd bisq
git fetch origin
git checkout v1.2.5 # new tag
./gradlew clean
./gradlew build -x test
exit
sudo service bisq-seednode restart
sudo journalctl --unit bisq-seednode --follow

Uninstall

If you need to start over, you can run the uninstall script in this repo

sudo ./delete_seednode_debian.sh

WARNING: this script will delete all data!
