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
