⚠ Attention

The following commands are executed with root privileges, if the prompt Permission denied appears, you need to switch to root privileges, or add sudo at the top of these commands.

⚙ System configuration

System requirements

• Linux 64-bit Intel/AMD

Install application tools

For the Debian and ubuntu families of linux systems:

apt install git curl wget vim util-linux -y

For the Fedora, RedHat and CentOS families of linux systems:

yum install git curl wget vim util-linux -y

Firewall configuration

By default, cess-bucket uses port 4001 to listen for incoming connections, if your platform blocks these two ports by default, you may need to enable access to these port.

ufw

For hosts with ufw enabled (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), you can use the ufw command to allow traffic to flow to specific ports. Use the following command to allow access to a port:

ufw allow 4001

firewall-cmd

For hosts with firewall-cmd enabled (CentOS), you can use the firewall-cmd command to allow traffic on specific ports. Use the following command to allow access to a port:

firewall-cmd --get-active-zones

This command gets the active zone(s). Now, apply port rules to the relevant zones returned above. For example if the zone is public, use

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=4001/tcp --permanent

Note that permanent makes sure the rules are persistent across firewall start, restart or reload. Finally reload the firewall for changes to take effect.

firewall-cmd --reload

iptables

For hosts with iptables enabled (RHEL, CentOS, etc.), you can use the iptables command to enable all traffic to a specific port. Use the following command to allow access to a port:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4001 -j ACCEPT
service iptables restart

Network optimization (optional)

sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 8192
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets = 6000
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestsmps = 0
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65500

💰 Configure CESS wallet

1) Register two cess wallet

For wallet one, it is called an earnings account, which is used to receive rewards from mining, and you should keep the private key carefully.

For wallet two, it is called a staking account and is used to staking some tokens and sign blockchain transactions.

Please refer to Create-CESS-Wallet to create your cess wallet.

2) Recharge your staking account

The staking amount is calculated based on the space you configure. The minimum staking amount is 4000CESS, and an additional 4000CESS staking is required for each additional 1TiB of space.

If you are using the test network, Please join the CESS discord to get it for free. If you are using the official network, please buy CESS tokens.

🏗 Get the binary program

Method one

Download the latest release of the binary application directly at：

wget https://github.com/CESSProject/cess-bucket/releases/download/v0.7.10/bucket0.7.10.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Method two

Compile the binary program from the storage node source code and follow the process as follows:

1) install go CESS-Bucket requires Go 1.20, See the official Golang installation instructions.

Open gomod mode:

go env -w GO111MODULE="on"

Users in China can add go proxy to speed up the download:

go env -w GOPROXY="https://goproxy.cn,direct"

2) clone code

git clone https://github.com/CESSProject/cess-bucket.git

3) compile code

cd cess-bucket/
go build -o bucket cmd/main.go

4) Grant execute permission

chmod +x bucket

5) View bucket features (optional)

The bucket has many functions, you can use ./bucket -h or ./bucket --help to view, as follows:

• Flags

Flag	Description
-c,--config	custom configuration file (default "conf.yaml")
-h,--help	help for bucket
--earnings	earnings account
--port	listening port
--rpc	rpc endpoint list
--space	maximum space used(GiB)
--ws	workspace

• Available Commands

Command	Subcommand	Description
version		Print version number
config		Generate configuration file
stat		Query storage miner information
run		Automatically register and run
exit		Unregister the storage miner role
increase	staking	Increase the staking
increase	space	Increase the declaration space
withdraw		Withdraw stakes
update	earnings	Update earnings account
reward		Query reward information
claim		Claim reward

🟢 Start mining

The bucket program has two running modes: foreground and background.

⚠ If you are not running the bucket program with root privileges, make sure that the user you are currently logged in to has all permissions for the workspace directory you have configured. If you are logged in as user, the configured directory is /cess, and your signature account is cXfyomKDABfehLkvARFE854wgDJFMbsxwAJEHezRb6mfcAi2y, execute the following command to grant permissions:

chown -R  user:user /cess/cXfyomKDABfehLkvARFE854wgDJFMbsxwAJEHezRb6mfcAi2y/

Foreground operation mode

The foreground operation mode requires the terminal window to be kept all the time, and the window cannot be closed. You can use the screen command to create a window for the bucket and ensure that the window always exists. Create and enter the bucket window command:

screen -S bucket

Press ctrl + A + D to exit the bucket window without closing it.

View window list command:

screen -ls

Re-enter the bucket window command:

screen -r bucket

method one

Enter the bucket run command to run directly, and enter the information according to the prompt to complete the startup:

# ./bucket run
>> Please enter the rpc address of the chain, multiple addresses are separated by spaces:
wss://testnet-rpc0.cess.cloud/ws/ wss://testnet-rpc1.cess.cloud/ws/ wss://testnet-rpc2.cess.cloud/ws/
>> Please enter the workspace, press enter to use / by default workspace:
/
>> Please enter your earnings account, if you are already registered and do not want to update, please press enter to skip:
cXfyomKDABfehLkvARFE854wgDJFMbsxwAJEHezRb6mfcAi2y
>> Please enter your service port:
15001
>> Please enter the maximum space used by the storage node in GiB:
2000
>> Please enter the mnemonic of the staking account:
*******************************************************************************

method two

# ./bucket run --rpc wss://testnet-rpc0.cess.cloud/ws/ wss://testnet-rpc1.cess.cloud/ws/ wss://testnet-rpc2.cess.cloud/ws/ --ws / --earnings cXfyomKDABfehLkvARFE854wgDJFMbsxwAJEHezRb6mfcAi2y --port 4001 --space 2000
>> Please enter the mnemonic of the staking account:
*******************************************************************************

Background operation mode

Generate configuration file:

./bucket config
OK /root/bucket/conf.yaml

Edit the configuration file and fill in the correct information, then run:

nohup ./bucket run -c /root/bucket/conf.yaml &

If the configuration file is named conf.yaml and is located in the same directory as the bucket program, you can specify without -c:

nohup ./bucket run &
