Run Validator Node Q&A
We have received several reports from the participants that they have failed to extract the data sources and failed to set the session keys which subsequently resulted in the failing of becoming a validator and keep staying in the waiting line. Here, we simplified the two ways to run the node, they are Docker or CLI. Also there are some little tips about how to set the session keys and check out your configuration status.
Run Node Services
Use Docker
docker run -d --name ares_gladios aresprotocollab/ares_gladios:latest gladios-node --name Ares_amor_4UaAfJ7EX9UsCtnUkVsbAqshH3EDN4h6Co7t8P5jPRTvLjqh --chain gladios --telemetry-url 'wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0' --warehouse http://api.aresprotocol.io --validator
Write your name in a format of (Ares_TelegramUsername_bsc). Please fill out with validity, to ensure the counting of rewards and distribution.
for example：
Ares_amor(username in telegram node miner group)_4UaAfJ7EX9UsCtnUkVsbAqshH3EDN4h6Co7t8P5jPRTvLjqh(BSC address)
Use CLI
- Executable gladios-node binary file
wget -c https://github.com/aresprotocols/ares/releases/download/v1.2.1/gladios-node-linux-amd64-1.2.1-ba392b0
- Add execution permit
chmod +777 gladios-node-linux-amd64-1.2.1-ba392b0
- Execute node
./gladios-node-linux-amd64-1.2.1-ba392b0 --base-path data --name Ares_amor_4UaAfJ7EX9UsCtnUkVsbAqshH3EDN4h6Co7t8P5jPRTvLjqh --chain gladios --telemetry-url 'wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0' --warehouse http://api.aresprotocol.io --validator
Write your name in a format of (Ares_TelegramUsername_bsc). Please fill out with validity, to ensure the counting of rewards and distribution.
for example：
Ares_amor(username in telegram node miner group）_4UaAfJ7EX9UsCtnUkVsbAqshH3EDN4h6Co7t8P5jPRTvLjqh(BSC address)
Set Session Keys
Use Docker
docker exec -it ares_gladios bash -c "apt update && apt install -y curl && curl -X POST http://localhost:9933 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"id\":1, \"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\", \"method\": \"author_rotateKeys\"}'"
Output
{“jsonrpc”:”2.0",”result”:”0x74ed2791ab818797bc4a2caa78b01180cc52a5e95c8cd5286d2642b671c3986d00a93e91eaedd838f275f4c49f1c9a9c2525f7f34577c556f02bc357eddaa4dbf28ab5102be4fa22b6b8115765d290de0c6c91f37a265acecdf3782746bff32b”,”id”:1}
The result will be put in the session keys in Gladios testnet.
Use CLI
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "author_rotateKeys", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9933
Output
{“jsonrpc”:”2.0",”result”:”0x88a16ebcbb47c4c466416bf62a412910a8eee74c9b9b7fa3fe922f5f2f6b3a256ec28920cf2811088090b45c1c7faf9f5434a32929a4251667b38dcd530b9934f2fb357cf4ac2f8b024e3db8946e2ce185b8bc66f0f03d2cf5c94fa293e29f23",”id”:1}

Q&A
Q: If I joined to be a candidate for validator nodes, how long I should be in the wait list?
A:
- Normally it’s 1–2 era , equal to 1–2 hours, if your configuration does not have probnlem you could also become a validator node.
- If the Validators limit is already filled (for example,24/24), then the tech. committe will lift the limit.(for example, lift it till 26).
- Other reasons, it might be your computer capacity is not met by the requirement for running a node.
Q: Why my node tend to be offline?
A: While you are operating without cloud server, it will be easily offline in your computer’s sleeping mode. If you are operating with cloud server, it’s better to set a screen session and run the program in the background, this will help to prevent from being offline.
