Ongoing , please wait ;)

What are the incidence on my rewards?

  • If you follow the steps, you'll just get a few minutes down time, no impact
  • At worst, say a full hours downtime, you'll just loose that hour (but others may, too, so same thing in the end)
  • If you don't update, then you likely may fork and get stuck and get no more rewards.

In a nutshell

  • Stop HN
  • Update code
  • Run hn_check
  • Restart regular node
  • Install cronjob sentinel
  • Check it works

Upgrade code

Stop your HN:

  • log in to your server,
  • if you had already cronjobs configured, deactivate them for the upgrade
  • enter the hypernode screen screen -x hypernode
  • stop the HN : ctrl-c
  • exit the screen exit

Upgrade the code:

  • go in you home dir, where you installed the hypernode cd
  • check the hypernode dir is there ls -al should list a "hypernode" directory
  • rm any previous .tar.gz archive rm hypernode.tar.gz
  • fetch the latest code wget http://bp12.eggpool.net/hypernode.tar.gz
  • extract the code tar -zxvf hypernode.tar.gz
  • this will not overwrite your custom config.txt nor the settings you may have in it
  • go into the hn dir cd hypernode
  • make sure the updated requirements are satisfied pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run the check

  • go into the main hypernode/main dir cd main
  • run the check python3 hn_check.py
  • restart the regular node: enter the node screen, stop and restart the regular node.
  • at launch, the node will tell "Init Hypernode plugin"
  • exit the node screen
  • make sure the hypernode is running, from hypernode/main: python3 hn_instance.py -v
  • if it runs, you can close it

Setup the cronjob sentinel

The detailled steps are described here: https://github.com/bismuthfoundation/hypernode/tree/master/crontab

This will handle auto restarts and make sure your HN works 100% of the time, unattended.

Try screen -ls until you see a "hypernode" screen listed, it works!
