Setup RPC

Manually setting up the RPC server can be a challenging task, but fortunately, we can use Docker to simplify the process.

Install Docker

Linux

apt update
apt install -y docker.io
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.26.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Windows

1. Download and install the docker desktop at https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop.
2. Launch Docker Desktop from Start Menu.
3. Wait until it shows Docker is running.

Docker Compose File

Download the docker-compose.yaml and adjust QUBIC_NODES_QUBIC_PEER_LIST variable:

Docker Compose File

Start The Server

docker-compose up -d

Example output:

Your RPC is running at IP:8000, See RPC Docs for more details.

Let's test if our RPC is running by make a GET request to http://IP:8000/v1/tick-info, Example output

{
  "tickInfo": {
    "tick": 18480136,
    "duration": 0,
    "epoch": 170,
    "initialTick": 18480000
  }
}
