Muon Protocol

Muon Network

Minimum hardware requirement​

4 Cores, 8G Ram, 160G SSD, Ubuntu 22.04

Server preparation​

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install make curl git wget -y
sudo apt install htop tmux build-essential jq make lz4 gcc unzip -y

Install Docker​

docker --version || (curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sudo sh get-docker.sh)

Install Muon Node​

curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muon-protocol/muon-node-js/pion/docker-compose-pull.yml
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Wait for a minute and then run the next command and see the result.

curl http://localhost:8012/status

The result should look like this and means your node is running properly. (It is not added to the network yet.)

{"address":"0x22E25482F7B27b8765FE93F4ac0Cb79a0e8cB3ef","peerId":"QmVZrfc47AQQoPGjbWAmd1wQv9BtGYpFQ67JnbFmmHxAWN","networkingPort":"9012","node":{"addedToNetwork":false,...}}

You need this address and peerID later when you add the node to the network. https://app.muon.net

Backing up & Restoring a Node​

Backup​

docker exec -it muon-node ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node ./src/cmd/index.ts keys backup > backup.json

Restore​

docker exec -it muon-node ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node ./src/cmd/index.ts keys restore "$(cat backup.json)"
docker restart muon-node

If the restoration process is successful, querying the status of the node from the following link will return the address and peerId of the backed up node.

http://<server-ip>:8012/status
