Preparation of configuration files¶

These following configuration files are used for the configuration:

accounts.conf – the configuration file for the accounts creation.
api-key-hash.conf – the configuration file for the api-key-hash and privacy-api-key-hash values creation when you choose the api-key string hash authorization.
node.conf – the main node configuration file defining the operational principals and an option list.

`accounts.conf` configuration file for the accounts creation¶

When specifying a path, use the “forward slash” - / as a delimiting character for directory hierarchy levels. During Linux using the value wallet must match the directory structure of the operating system, for example /home/contract/we/keystore.dat. During node setting it is prohibited to use cyrillic symbols for specifying paths to the working directory, keystore, etc.

// accounts.conf listing

accounts-generator {
  waves-crypto = yes
  chain-id = V
  amount = 1
  wallet = ${user.home}"/node/keystore.dat"
  wallet-password = "some string as password"
  reload-node-wallet {
    enabled = false
    url = "http://localhost:6862/utils/reload-wallet"
  }
}

The description of the configuration file parameters is represented below.

waves-crypto – the choice of a cryptographic algorithm (“yes” - use cryptography Waves, “no” - use GOST-cryptography);

chain-id – an identifying byte of the network, the value will be necessary further on for entry in parameter address-scheme-character of the node configuration file;

amount – a number of generated key pairs;

wallet – the path to the key storage directory on the node, the value will be required further on for entry in parameter wallet > file of the node configuration file. For the Waves cryptography, the path to file keystore.dat is specified (example, ${user.home}/nodeName/keystore.dat), for the GOST-cryptography - the path to directory (${user.home}/nodeName/keystore/);

wallet-password – a password for access to closed node keys, the value will be necessary further for entry into the parameter wallet > password of the node configuration file;

reload-node-wallet – an option to update the node keyStore without restarting the application, by default it is turned off (false). url parameter specifies the path to the /utils/reload-wallet method of the REST API node.

`api-key-hash.conf` configuration file¶

api-key-hash.conf configuration file is intended only for the api-key-hash and privacy-api-key-hash values creation when you choose the api-key string authorization.

// api-key-hash.conf listing

apikeyhash-generator {
  waves-crypto = yes
  api-key = "some string for api-key"
}

Parameters description

waves-crypto – the choice of a cryptographic algorithm (“yes” - use cryptography Waves, “no” - use GOST-cryptography);

api-key – the key you need to come up with. The value of this key will need to be specified in requests to REST API node (for more details see page REST API).

`node.conf` node configuration file¶

If you are planning to connect the new node to the existing network, it will be more easy to request full configuration file from your network administrator or from any of net participants. When you are creating the configuration file from a scratch or connecting to the “Waves Enterprise Mainnet”, you can get the example of the file from our GitHub page. You can read on the Changes in the node configuration file page about changes in the node configuration file.

Warning

If your node’s version is 1.0 and higher you need to specify the following parameter in the node section of the node configuration file:

"features": {
"supported": [100]
}

This option becomes active when the total quantity of blocks from feature-check-blocks-period = 15000 and blocks-for-feature-activation = 10000 parameters is achieved (25 000 of blocks). These parameters are stored in the blockchain section and can not be changed during Mainnet or Partnernet connection. Nodes will not be able to connect to the network without activation of this option.

The example of the node configuration file is represented below. This file does not include such options like anchoring, Docker smart contracts and private data access groups. Also there are api-key authorization and Waves cryptography. You can find the fields description here.

Note

If you want to use additional options, set the enable field of the selected option to yes or true and configure the option section according to the description of its setting.
