Polkadot is a multi-chain framework that enables interoperability and scalability for multiple blockchains. See: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk

Hardware requirements can be found here: https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-how-to-validate-polkadot#standard-hardware

Start the service with 'sudo snap start polkadot-parachain'

Check logs from the Polkadot parachain service with 'snap logs polkadot-parachain -f'

Supported configuration options for the snap:

service-args [default=--base-path=$SNAP_COMMON/polkadot_base --name=<hostname>] For available arguments see https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk The value set here will be passed to the Polkadot parachain binary with a few exceptions listed below.

• --name defaults to the systems hostname the first time the snap is installed.
• --base-path is always set by the snap to $SNAP_COMMON/polkadot_base and is not allowed to be configured.

endure [default=false] If true the Polkadot parachain service will not be restarted after a snap refresh. Note that the Polkadot parachain service will still be restarted as the result of changing service-args, etc.

Use this when restarts should be avoided e.g. when running a validator.

Example config for running on Polkadot parachain with an RPC endpoint on port 9933:

sudo snap set polkadot-parachain service-args="--name=foobar --chain=polkadot --rpc-port=9933"
