Requirements
1. Pruning Settings
In order to run a full node, different hardware requirements should be met based on the pruning strategy you would like to use.
Pruning is the term used to identify the periodic action that can be taken in order to free some disk space on your full node. This is done by removing old blocks data from the disk, freeing up space.
Inside the Joltify Network, there are various types of pruning strategies that can be applied. The main ones are:
default
: the last 100 states are kept in addition to every 500th state; pruning at 10 block intervalsnothing
: all historic states will be saved, nothing will be deleted (i.e. archiving node)everything
: all saved states will be deleted, storing only the current state; pruning at 10 block intervals (At the moment this option is not recommended as it can easily corrupt the database and the node will halt)custom
: allow pruning options to be manually specified through 'pruning-keep-recent', 'pruning-keep-every', and 'pruning-interval'
2. Hardware Requirements
You can easily understand how using a pruning strategy of nothing
will use more disk space than everything
. For this reason, there are different disk space that we recommend based on the pruning strategy you choose:
everything
20GB
60GB
default
80GB
160GB
nothing
120GB
>300GB
Apart from disk space, the following requirements should be met:
4
8
8GB
16GB
