GridcoinAutoNode

A script that automatically sets up a Gridcoin full node as a daemon (gridcoinresearchd) under a new gridcoin user.

Tested on:

• Ubuntu Trusty (14.04)
• Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)
• Ubuntu Bionic (18.04)
• Debian Jessie (8)
• Debian Stretch (9)

One Liner - DO NOT run without reading code first!

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gridcoin-community/Autonode/master/GridcoinAutoNode.sh && sudo -E bash GridcoinAutoNode.sh && . .bashrc

Notes

This script installs:

• unzip
• software-properties-common
• gridcoinresearchd (and dependencies)
• curl
• apt-transport-https

This script:

• Automatically figures out your distro and installs the daemon (gridcoinresearchd) for that specific distro.
• Creates a gridcoin user to run gridcoinresearchd (safer than running client as root).
• Downloads snapshot instead of syncing from block 0 (edit script if you don't want it to do this).
• Starts daemon on script completion.
• Creates a grc alias (for instance, you can run grc getinfo).
