Configure topology files for block-producing and relay nodes.
Before we register our stake pool, let's configure our block-producing and relay nodes:
NOTE: Here you can find peers to connect to, and submit your own relay's data:
https://explorer.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io/relays/topology.json
Get the configuration files for your core node if you don't have them already, for example
mkdir pool
cd pool
wget https://hydra.iohk.io/job/Cardano/cardano-node/cardano-deployment/latest-finished/download/1/testnet-config.json
wget https://hydra.iohk.io/job/Cardano/cardano-node/cardano-deployment/latest-finished/download/1/testnet-shelley-genesis.json
wget https://hydra.iohk.io/job/Cardano/cardano-node/cardano-deployment/latest-finished/download/1/testnet-topology.json
Make the core node "talk" only to YOUR relay node.
nano testnet-topology.json
{
"Producers": [
{
"addr": "<YOUR RELAY NODE IP ADDRESS>",
"port": <PORT>,
"valency": 1
}
]
}
Make your relay node
talk to your block-producing node and other relays in the network by editing the testnet-topology.json file:nano testnet-topology.json
{
"Producers": [
{
"addr": "<YOUR BLOCK-PRODUCING NODE IP ADDRESS>",
"port": <PORT>,
"valency": 1
},
{
"addr": "<OTHER RELAY NODE IP ADDRESS>",
"port": <PORT>,
"valency": 1
},
{
"addr": "<OTHER RELAY NODE IP ADDRESS>",
"port": <PORT>,
"valency": 1
}
]
}
