The Power of Trust — detailed step-by-step instruction

Try this if the fast auto-installer script doesn't work for you.

On Ubuntu 14/15/16 or Debian 8/9 (64bit) as root do:

for Ubuntu there are Ruby binaries, so compilation is not needed and installation is much faster

  1. Create isolated user 'potrust' to do not touch anything in the system and to limit process permissions

    adduser potrust --disabled-password --gecos potrust --quiet
cd /home/potrust

  2. Install some required packages

    On a fresh server recommended to do first: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

    apt-get install sudo curl p7zip-full screen -y

    apt-get install build-essential — may be needed additionally for Debian 8

  3. Install RVM for user potrust (but still as root)

    sudo -H -u potrust bash -c 'gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB'
sudo -H -u potrust bash -c '\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable'

  4. Install Ruby (still as root)

    . .rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm list remote

    pick the latest ruby-2.7.x name and use in
    rvm install {name} --binary — should be like rvm install ruby-2.7.8 --binary
    if there are no ruby-2.7.x binaries — compile from sources:
    rvm install 2.7.8 (it can take 5 mins)

    chown -R potrust .rvm
su potrust
source .rvm/scripts/rvm

    rvm -v — should show RVM version
    type rvm | head -1 — should show rvm is a function
    rvm list — should show installed Ruby
    ruby -v — should be similar to ruby 2.7.8p225 ...

  5. Create base folder structure

    wget inve.org/files/PoT/pack.tgz
tar -zxf pack.tgz --strip-components=1
rm pack.tgz

  6. Install 40+ required gems (-v 2.4.22 needed for Ruby 2.7, not for Ruby 3.1+)

    gem install bundler -v 2.4.22 --no-document
cd app
bundle install --without dev
rvm cleanup all

  7. Install MondoDB

    cd ~
# Linux x64 (no SSL, no depenecies)
wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-4.0.10.tgz -O mongodb.tgz
-- or -- (see here for better options https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community)
Ubuntu 18:
  wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1804-4.0.10.tgz -O mongodb.tgz
Ubuntu 16:
  wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1604-4.0.10.tgz -O mongodb.tgz
Debian 9:
  wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian92-4.0.10.tgz -O mongodb.tgz
Debian 8:
  wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian81-4.0.10.tgz -O mongodb.tgz

tar -zxf mongodb.tgz -C platform/mongodb --strip-components=1
rm mongodb.tgz

    platform/mongodb/bin/mongod --version — should show db version v4.0.10

  8. Auto-start on boot (needed for supernode)

    echo '@reboot sleep 5;./start.sh' >> tempcron
crontab tempcron
rm tempcron

    crontab -l — should show the added tasks

  9. Start
    app/conf_my.rb — configure your node if needed (see conf_base.rb)
    ./start.sh
    script /dev/null — resolves annoying problem with the terminal

  10. Now at anytime under the user potrust you can do:

    *switch from root with: su potrust -c'script /dev/null'

    ~/start.sh — start node (it it was stopped)
    screen -r — check windows
    screen -dm — start node-screen if it was terminated

    Inside screen hotkeys:
    Ctrl+a, space/backspace — navigate windows (Node, Web-client, top)
    Ctrl+a, w — list windows
    Ctrl+a, [123] — switch to wnd by N
    Ctrl+a, Esc — enter the scrolling mode to read an output history
    r — restart process (if terminated)
    Ctrl+c, r — restart working process
    Ctrl+a, d — detach (return to the main terminal)
    Ctrl+a, \ — terminate this screen with all the processes

  11. Finally
    localhost:3070 — check Web-Client UI in any browser

  12. For supernode

    • If incoming connections are firewalled by default, you will need to add and exception for the node port 7733 (TCP).
    • You can also open external access to your Web-Client on port 3070 (TCP - http) and 3080 (TCP - WebSocket) (useful for supernode, but danger for personal node).
