The node supports two configuration options:
- using the configuration file
- using start arguments
The configuration file is located at $DATADIR as config.ini. The config file will be created automatically when the node starts, if it was not there before. In the file you can find explanations for each parameter.
Use ./echo_node --help to show all available arguments.
$ ./echo_node --help
Echo Node:
-h [ --help ] Print this help message and exit.
-d [ --data-dir ] arg Directory containing databases,
configuration file, etc.
--sidechain Enable sidechain plugin
--testnet Use testnet options preset
--devnet Use devnet options preset
-v [ --version ] Print version information
--configure-keys Encrypt private keys in interactive
mode and save it to keys.file
--config-seeds-only If true connect ONLY to specific in
config/command line seed nodes
--create-genesis-json Create a genesis.json at corresponding
datadir. Depending on which options
preset is selected (mainnet or testnet)
it will output different Genesis State.
--example-genesis-json arg Path to create an example Genesis State
at. If a well-formed JSON file exists
at the path, it will be parsed and any
missing fields in a Genesis State will
be added, and any unknown fields will
be removed. If no file or an invalid
file is found, it will be replaced with
an example Genesis State.
--replay-blockchain Rebuild object graph by replaying all
blocks
--resync-blockchain Delete all blocks and re-sync with
network from scratch
--force-validate Force validation of all transactions
--genesis-timestamp arg Replace timestamp from genesis.json
with current time plus this many
seconds (experts only!)
