# Bor node ## Requirements for Polygon network * memory: 64Gb (minimum) * disk: 3Tb SSD (require periodically prune state) - you can use less if you prune more often, but you still need at least 2TB. ## Installation Set in the `.env` file: * `DOMAIN=` - the domain name to be used in traefik; * `HEIMDALL_ETH_RPC_URL=` - your Ethereum RPC. You can also set a list of allowed IP addresses there and addresses to treat as local. Rename `example.env` to `.env`: ``` mv example.env .env ``` Start node (If you do not use traefik, specify the compose file with the `-f docker-compose.no-proxy.yml`): ```bash docker-compose build docker-compose up -d rabbitmq heimdalld heimdallr bor ``` To see the sync status run: `curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "eth_syncing"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -s https://${DOMAIN}/bor-http/` * `currentBlock` - your node current height; * `highestBlock` - network height. ## Upgrade Periodically check for new versions. if there is a release, then you need to update the tag (`BOR_TAG`) in the environment file. ```bash docker-compose build docker-compose pull docker-compose up -d rabbitmq heimdalld heimdallr bor ``` ## Pruning Use it if the size is approaching 1.7Tb. At least 150 GB must be free for successful pruning. ```bash docker-compose stop bor docker-compose up prune-bor docker-compose rm prune-bor docker-compose up -d bor ```
