Reth - ethereum client. Use with an ethereum consensus client, like lighthouse.
This example deployment assumes reth and lighthouse are both on localhost.
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

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
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.
To install reth, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install reth --candidate
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
