Docker Compose to running BitCore RPC node

Allocating 2GB Swapfile

free -m
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=2048
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
free -m

VPS Setup

1. Connect to your VPS via SSH

2. Clone the GitHub

   git clone https://github.com/LIMXTEC/Bitcore-BTX-RPC-Installer.git

3. Create/Update Masternode information in .env (see example file env)

   EXTERNAL_IP=<IP>
   RPC_USER=<btx_user>
   RPC_PWD=<btx_pwd>

4. Start your masternode and wait until blockchain is syncronized

   docker-compose up -d

5. optional: to use the official bootstrap from LIMXTEC use the following script

   ./bootstrapping.sh

6. Check if blockchain is synchronised and masternode ready to be activated

   docker exec -it bitcore_rpc bitcore-cli -datadir=/data -conf=/data/bitcore.conf -rpcconnect=172.21.0.11 -rpcuser=btx_user -rpcpassword=btx_pwd -rpcport=8556 mnsync status
   {
     "AssetID": 1,
     "AssetName": "MASTERNODE_SYNC_WAITING",
     "AssetStartTime": 1586727148,
     "Attempt": 0,
     "IsBlockchainSynced": false,
     "IsMasternodeListSynced": false,
     "IsWinnersListSynced": false,
     "IsSynced": false,
     "IsFailed": false
   }
   
   #WAITING...
   
   docker exec -it bitcore_rpc bitcore-cli -datadir=/data -conf=/data/bitcore.conf -rpcconnect=172.21.0.11 -rpcuser=btx_user -rpcpassword=btx_pwd -rpcport=8556 mnsync status
   {
     "AssetID": 999,
     "AssetName": "MASTERNODE_SYNC_FINISHED",
     "AssetStartTime": 1587319491,
     "Attempt": 0,
     "IsBlockchainSynced": true,
     "IsMasternodeListSynced": true,
     "IsWinnersListSynced": true,
     "IsSynced": true,
     "IsFailed": false
   }

   PLEASE NOTE: It's very important to wait until IsSynced value is true!
