Distribution package for Dash node installation

Table of Contents

Install

Dependencies

For Linux installations you may optionally wish to follow the Docker post-installation steps to manage Docker as a non-root user, otherwise you will have to run CLI and Docker commands with sudo.

Distribution package

Use NPM to install dashmate globally in your system:

$ npm install -g dashmate

Update

The update command is used to quickly get the latest patches for dashmate components. It is necessary to restart the node after the update is complete.

USAGE
  $ dashmate update [-v] [--config <value>]

FLAGS
  -v, --verbose     use verbose mode for output
  --config=<value>  configuration name to use
  --format=<option>  [default: plain] display output format
                   <options: json|plain>

Example usage:

$ dashmate stop
$ npm install -g dashmate
$ dashmate update

$ dashmate start

In some cases, you must also additionally reset platform data:

  • Upgrade contains non-compatible changes (e.g. switching between v22/v23)
  • The dashmate setup command exited with errors or was interrupted
  • The platform layer was wiped on the network
$ dashmate stop
$ npm install -g dashmate
$ dashmate reset --platform --hard
$ dashmate update
$ dashmate setup
$ dashmate start

Before applying an upgrade, the local network should be stopped and reset with dashmate reset --hard.

Usage

The package contains a CLI, Docker Compose and configuration files.

CLI

The CLI can be used to perform routine tasks. Invoke the CLI with dashmate. To list available commands, either run dashmate with no parameters or execute dashmate help. To list the help on any command, execute the command followed by the --help option.

Node setup

The setup command is used to quickly configure common node configurations. Arguments may be provided as options, otherwise they will be queried interactively with sensible values suggested.

USAGE
  $ dashmate setup [PRESET] [-v] [-d] [-c <value>] [-m <value>]

  The command collects diagnostic information and creates an obfuscated archive for further investigation

Reset node data

The reset command removes all data corresponding to the specified config and allows you to start a node from scratch.

USAGE
  $ dashmate reset [--config <value>] [-v] [-h] [-f] [-p] [--keep-data]

FLAGS
  -f, --force           skip running services check

DESCRIPTION
  Reset node data

To reset a node:

$ dashmate reset

Hard reset

With the hard reset mode enabled, the corresponding config will be reset in addition to the platform data. After a hard reset, it is necessary to run the node setup to proceed.

$ dashmate reset --hard

Manual reset

Manual reset can be used if the local setup is corrupted and a hard reset does not fix it. This could happen due to dashmate configuration incompatibilities after a major upgrade, leaving you unable to execute any commands.

docker stop $(docker ps -q)
docker system prune
docker volume prune
rm -rf ~/.dashmate/

Reindex core chain data

The core reindex command helps you to reindex your Core instance in the node.

The process displays interactive progress and may be interrupted at any time. After reindex is finished core and other services will become online without any interactions from the user.

The core reindex command works for regular and local configurations.

USAGE
  $ dashmate core reindex [-v] [--config <value>] [-d] [-f]

FLAGS
  -d, --detach      run the reindex process in the background
  -f, --force       reindex already running node without confirmation
  -v, --verbose     use verbose mode for output
  --config=<value>  configuration name to use

DESCRIPTION
  Reindex Core data

Full node

It is also possible to start a full node instead of a masternode. Modify the config setting as follows:

dashmate config set core.masternode.enable false

Node groups

The CLI allows setup and operation of multiple nodes. Only the local preset is supported at the moment.

Default group

The setup command sets the corresponding group as default. To output the current default group or set another one as default, use the group:default command.

USAGE
  $ dashmate group default [GROUP] [-v]

ARGUMENTS
  GROUP  group name

FLAGS
  -v, --verbose  use verbose mode for output

List group configs

The group list command outputs a list of group configs.

USAGE
  $ dashmate group list [-v] [--group <value>]

FLAGS
  -v, --verbose    use verbose mode for output
  --group=<value>  group name to use

Start group nodes

The group start command is used to start a group of nodes belonging to the default group or a specified group.

USAGE
  $ dashmate group start [-v] [--group <value>] [-w]

FLAGS
  -v, --verbose             use verbose mode for output
  -w, --wait-for-readiness  wait for nodes to be ready
  --group=<value>           group name to use

Stop group nodes

The group stop command is used to stop group nodes belonging to the default group or a specified group.

USAGE
  $ dashmate group stop [-v] [--group <value>] [-f]

FLAGS
  -f, --force      force stop even if any is running
  -s, --safe       wait for dkg before stop

USAGE
  $ dashmate group restart [--group <value>] [-v] [-s]

FLAGS
  -s, --safe           wait for dkg before stop
  -v, --verbose        use verbose mode for output
      --group=<value>  group name to use

DESCRIPTION
  Restart group nodes

Show group status

The group status command outputs group status information.

USAGE
  $ dashmate group status [-v] [--group <value>] [--format json|plain]

FLAGS
  -v, --verbose      use verbose mode for output
  --format=<option>  [default: plain] display output format
                     <options: json|plain>
  --group=<value>    group name to use

Reset group nodes

The group reset command removes all data corresponding to the specified group and allows you to start group nodes from scratch.

USAGE
  $ dashmate group reset [-v] [--group <value>] [--hard] [-f] [-p]

FLAGS
  -f, --force          reset even running node
  -p, --platform  reset platform data only

  --group=<value>      group name to use
  --hard               reset config as well as data

With hard reset mode enabled, the corresponding node configs will be reset as well. It will be necessary to run node setup again from scratch to start a new local node group.

Reindex group nodes

The group core reindex reindexes all your local dash core containers

USAGE
  $ dashmate group core reindex [-v] [--group <value>] [-d] [-f]

FLAGS
  -d, --detach     run the reindex process in the background
  -f, --force      reindex already running node without confirmation
  -v, --verbose    use verbose mode for output
  --group=<value>  group name to use

DESCRIPTION
  Reindex group Core data

With hard reset mode enabled, the corresponding node configs will be reset as well. It will be necessary to run node setup again from scratch to start a new local node group.

Mint tDash

The wallet mint command can be used to generate an arbitrary amount of tDash to a new or specified recipient address on a local network. The network must be stopped before running this command.

USAGE
  $ dashmate wallet mint [AMOUNT] [-v] [--config <value>] [-a <value>]

ARGUMENTS
  AMOUNT  amount of tDash to be generated to address

FLAGS
  -a, --address=<value>  use recipient address instead of creating new
  -v, --verbose          use verbose mode for output
  --config=<value>       configuration name to use

Create config group

To group nodes together, set a group name using the group option with the corresponding configs.

Create a group of two testnet nodes:

# create a new config using `testnet` config as template
dashmate config create testnet_2 testnet

# combine configs into the group
dashmate config set --config=testnet group testnet
dashmate config set --config=testnet_2 group testnet

# set the group as default
dashmate group default testnet

Render config's service configs

If you changed your config manually and you'd like to dashmate to render again all your service configs (dashd.conf, config.toml, etc.), you can issue that command.

dashmate config render
"testnet" service configs rendered

Development

To start a local dash network, the setup command with the local preset can be used to generate configs, mine some tDash, register masternodes, and populate the nodes with the data required for local development.

To allow developers to quickly test changes to DAPI and Drive, a local path for this repository may be specified using the platform.sourcePath config options. A Docker image will be built from the provided path and then used by Dashmate.

Docker Compose

If you want to use Docker Compose directly, you will need to pass in configuration as a dotenv file. You can output a config to a dotenv file for Docker Compose as follows:

$ dashmate config envs --config=testnet --output-file .env.testnet

Then specify the created dotenv file as an option for the docker compose command:

$ docker compose --env-file=.env.testnet up -d

Troubleshooting

[FAILED] Node is not running

One of your nodes is not running, you may retry with the --force option:

dashmate stop --force to stop single node (fullnode / masternode)

dashmate group:stop --force to stop group of nodes (local)

Running services detected. Please ensure all services are stopped for this config before starting

Some nodes are still running and preventing dashmate from starting properly. This may occur after a command exits with an error. Try to force stop the nodes using the --force option before trying to run the start command again.

dashmate stop --force to stop single node (fullnode / masternode)

dashmate group:stop --force to stop group of nodes (local)

externalIp option is not set in base config

This may happen when you switch back and forth between major versions, making config incompatible. In this case, do a manual reset and run setup again.

TypeError Plugin: dashmate: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'dash')

This can occur if other .yarnrc and node_modules directories exist in parent directories. Check your home directory for any .yarnrc and node_modules, delete them all and try again.
