Configure topology files for block-producing and relay nodes.

Search…

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​
Configure the block-producing node
Get the configuration files for your core node if you don't have them already, for example
1
mkdir pool
2
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.

Configure the relay node:
Make your relay node talk to your block-producing node and other relays in the network by editing the testnet-topology.json file:
1
nano testnet-topology.json

  "Producers": [

      "addr": "<YOUR BLOCK-PRODUCING NODE IP ADDRESS>",

      "valency": 1

    },

    {

      "addr": "<OTHER RELAY NODE IP ADDRESS>",

      "valency": 1
