Liteseed Installation Guide

Domain​

Before starting, you must have a domain. Get yourself a domain from a service provider. You can find a domain for $1 per year.

Creating a Subdomain​

Go to your service provider's panel and enter the advanced DNS settings or IP Based DNS settings section. Create 2 A records here.

  • *For the first A record, write lite or litesedd in the record name section and the IP address of your server in the value section and save.

  • When the time comes, we will take action here again, this time we will create a TXT record.

Updating the System​

apt update && apt upgrade -y

Installing Docker​

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
apt-get update
apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
docker version

Installing Nnginx and Certbot​

apt install certbot nginx -y

Cloning the Repo​

git clone https://github.com/liteseed/edge

Creating Docker Image​

cd ./edge
docker build -t edge .

Creating Volume​

docker volume create liteseed

Generating Arweave Private Key and Migrate the SQLite Database​

docker run -v liteseed:/data edge generate
docker run -v liteseed:/data edge migrate

Starting the Node​

Write the port number you want to use on your server to the variable.

export EXTERNAL_PORT=8080

And then run the node. docker run -d -p $EXTERNAL_PORT:8080 -v liteseed:/data edge start

docker run -d -p $EXTERNAL_PORT:8080 -v liteseed:/data edge start
  • And then close the logs with CTRL C. If you run it on a screen without closing it, these logs will take up space on your disk over time.

Learning Wallet Address​

docker run -v liteseed:/data edge balance
  • The output would look something this below
Address:  F7fmxSBJx5RlIRrt825iIEAL110cKP2Bf8tYd0Q1STU
Balance: 1000 LSD
Staked:  No

Domain SSL and TXT Record​

Create SSL (HTTPS) Certificates for Your Domain:​

After editing your email address and domain in the code below, run the code.

certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns --email EMAIL_ADDRESS -d liteseed.domain.com
  • After entering the code, you will pass the places where you need to write yes to accept it.
warning

Be careful in this part. It will give you two codes for the TXT record, one is Record name and the other is value. You will add them to your service provider.

Please pay attention to the following when recording TXT. If your domain name is liteseed.domain.com, your registration name will be: _acme-challenge.liteseed You will use the code given in the output as the value.

warning

Before moving on to the next step, go to a DNS Checker and search for _acme-challenge.liteseed.domain.com to see if the record is propagated. Propagation may take a while. Press Enter when the propagation starts.

Finally, you will receive a printout showing you the directory of your certificate files.

Preparing Nginx .conf Files​

We create a new .conf file.

nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/liteseed.node.conf

Then, we edit the codes below and save them to this file and exit. To exit, we say CTRL X then Enter.

  • Edit the fields that say liteseed.domain.com and 8080 according to your own domain name.
server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    server_name ar.domain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/liteseed.domain.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/liteseed.domain.com/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
    }

}
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name liteseed.domain.com;

    location / {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
}

Then we enter the following codes one by one.

unlink /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/liteseed.node.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/liteseed.node.conf
nginx -t

If you do not see an error in the output of this code, it will give an output of OK. This shows that there is no problem with nginx settings.

Finally, we restart the nginx service.

service nginx restart

Requesting Tokens​

First, fill out the form here.

Then send your wallet address, dicord ID and website you set above to hello@liteseed.xyz.

Don't forget to join the Discord server.

Staking​

To request a token, write the address (twitter or website) you gave in the e-mail you sent to where it says https://liteseed.domain.com.

docker run -v liteseed:/data edge stake -u "https://liteseed.domain.com"

Controling Stake​

docker run -v liteseed:/data edge balance
  • The output would look something this below
Address:  F7fmxSBJx5RlIRrt825iIEAL110cKP2Bf8tYd0Q1STU
Balance: 0 LSD
Staked:  Yes

Restarting the Node​

Now you can start earning both $AR and $LSD.

docker run -v liteseed:/data edge start

Backing Up the Wallet​

cat /var/lib/docker/volumes/liteseed/_data/signer.json
