This guide shows how to run a TomoX MongoDb Fullnode. To run the fullnode, you need to have MongoDb instance that enable replica set.

Start MongoDB
In this tutorial, we will run a mongo instance with Docker. Run this command:
1
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb \
2
    --hostname mongodb mongo:4.2 --replSet rs0
Copied!
Enable Mongodb replica set:
1
docker exec -it mongodb mongo --eval "rs.initiate()"
Copied!
Run a fullnode
Download tomo version 2.0+ from TomoChain Github Release page​
E.g:
1
wget https://github.com/tomochain/tomochain/releases/download/v2.1.0-beta/tomo-linux-amd64 -O tomo
2
chmod +x tomo
3
sudo mv tomo /usr/bin/
Copied!
Create a coinbase address:
1
tomo account new
Copied!
Init genesis block: Testnet
1
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomochain/tomochain/testnet/genesis/testnet.json -o genesis.json
2
tomo init genesis.json
Copied!
Then run the node:
Testnet
1
NODENAME=[your_node_name]
2
tomo \
3
    --bootnodes "enode://ba966140e161ad416a7bd7c75dc695e0a41232723e2b19cbbf651883ef5e8f252[email protected]195.154.150.210:30301" \
4
    --networkid 89 \
5
    --rpc --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 8545 --rpcvhosts "*" \
6
    --ws --wsaddr 0.0.0.0 --wsport 8546 --wsorigins "*" \
7
    --rpcapi "personal,db,eth,net,web3,txpool,miner,tomox" \
8
    --announce-txs \
9
    --tomo-testnet \
10
    --tomox.dbengine "mongodb" \
11
    --ethstats "${NODENAME}:[email protected]"
Copied!
You node will sync the data from TomoChain network, you need to wait until your node catch up the latest block. You can check the status in the logs or the stats page.
To save your time, you should download chaindata snapshot and override your chaindata.
Troubleshoot
Fatal: Failed to write genesis block
You already inited genesis block for the default datadir. So you need to use another datadir by --datadir
1
tomo account new --datadir [YOUR_DATADIR]
2
tomo init genesis.json --datadir [YOUR_DATADIR]
Copied!
Example
Testnet
1
wget https://github.com/tomochain/tomochain/releases/download/v2.0.0-beta/tomo-linux-amd64 -O tomo
2
chmod +x tomo
3
sudo mv tomo /usr/bin/
4
tomo --version
5
tomo version
6
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomochain/tomochain/master/genesis/testnet.json -o genesis.json
7
tomo init genesis.json 
8
tomo account new --datadir /tmp/chaindata

tomo init genesis.json --datadir /tmp/chaindata/

Testnet chaindata snapshot
To speed up syncing chaindata, you can download chaindata snapshot and override your local chaindata.
Download: Testnet chaindata​
E.g:
1
# Download
2
wget -c https://chaindata-testnet.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/chaindata-testnet.tar
3
​
4
# Uncompress
5
tar xvf chaindata-testnet.tar
Copied!
