#### Rust implemetation of ethereum client

Reth - ethereum client. Use with an ethereum consensus client, like lighthouse.

This example deployment assumes reth and lighthouse are both on localhost.

* Reth --datadir path: /mnt/reth/datadir

Start by installing reth:

```
 sudo snap install reth
```

Install and use with "lighthouse" to participate in the ethereum network.

```
 sudo snap install lighthouse
```

Check and change the configuration of reth and/or lighthouse to your liking:

```
 snap get lighthouse
 snap get reth
```

Change the location of the --datadir and allow the snap to access some external filsystems/dirs (see: snap interface removable-media)

```
 sudo snap connect reth:removable-media
 sudo snap set reth service-args='node --full --datadir /mnt/reth/datadir'
```

(Optionally) Set the snap to not restart after an automatic upgrade.

```
 sudo snap set reth endure=true
```

Start reth.

```
 sudo snap start reth
```

Copy the jwt.hex from where you set the reth --datadir -> lighthouse

```
 sudo cp /mnt/reth/datadir/jwt.hex /var/snap/lighthouse/common/
```

Start lighthouse:

```
 sudo snap start lighthouse
```

Check logs:

```
 sudo snap logs reth -f
 sudo snap logs lighthouse -f
```

Optionally, check the file-log in the snap location:

```
 sudo tail -f /root/snap/reth/current/.cache/reth/logs/mainnet/reth.log
```

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install reth

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/reth/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install reth

To install reth, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install reth --candidate
```
