Create A Windows Remote Node¶
This guide will explain how to run a remote node on your Windows device.
Downloading Files¶
The first step to get your node started is to download the newest client release versioin here: https://github.com/CelestialCash/Celestial/releases/. Select the Windows.zip file and it should download it. Then just unzip the files.
Starting The Node¶
To start a remote node first navigate to your command prompt and locate to the Windows folder you just unziped. To do this type cd
then add a space and finally type the path to the folder. For example cd C:\Users\MyName\Downloads\UnzippedWindowsFolder
. Next type Celestiald.exe --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0
. Wait for it to sync then you can have others connect to it. The 0.0.0.0
value should stay 0.0.0.0
no matter your IP.
Having People Connect¶
People can connect using your public IP and the port 18236. For example people could connect to 164.13.45.78:18236
that IP is completely made up but is an example. You could also point a domain to your IP address and have people connect to something like domain.com:18236
.
Setting A Fee¶
To have people pay a fee for using your node add the following to the Celestiald.exe command --fee-address
and --fee-amount
. A full command example could look like:
Celestiald.exe --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --fee-address CNAVFknVYi8J9nfVCexed9RTUVcGEFxinPPUWchJN6GQGdydAxYdXgBWcwt57ygc6Khr6LKaEdjZ3E8FD8oNz1J457DkkvW --fee-amount 1
This command would allow remote connection and have people pay 1 CELC as a fee to the wallet address CNAVFknVYi8J9nfVCexed9RTUVcGEFxinPPUWchJN6GQGdydAxYdXgBWcwt57ygc6Khr6LKaEdjZ3E8FD8oNz1J457DkkvW
