Run a Node
How to Run a re.al Node
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for running a re.al node on your local machine.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the latest Docker image:
offchainlabs/nitro-node:v2.3.4-b4cc111
Minimum Hardware Requirements
Component | Minimum Requirement |
---|---|
CPU | 2-4 core CPU (For AWS: t3 xLarge) |
RAM | 8-16 GB |
Disk | Depends on traffic volume |
Step 1: Create a directory for the chain
mkdir -p ~/tangbile-chain
Step 2: Run the node
docker run --rm -it -v ~/tangible-chain:/home/user/.arbitrum \
-p 0.0.0.0:8547:8547 \
-p 0.0.0.0:8548:8548 \

Step 3: Check the logs

Step 4: Check the node status
curl -X POST http://localhost:8547/ \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
Shutting Down the Node
To ensure the current state is saved properly, allow a graceful shutdown:
docker stop --time=300 $(docker ps -aq)
