Latest Versions
To successfully complete of the build, you must have following prerequisites preinstalled (packages are named as in Debian GNU/Linux 10 "buster", please found the corresponding packages for your distribution):
Command to install them all with build tools
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake cpack dpkg-dev libjson-c-dev libsqlite3-dev libev-dev libmagic-dev libpython3-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libldb-dev libtalloc-dev libtevent-dev libzip-dev
This command fetch sources from gitlab and build them.
git clone https://gitlab.demlabs.net/cellframe/cellframe-node.git
cd cellframe-node
git submodule init
git submodule update
Get into directory with cellframe-node and do
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make -j 8
To prepare node for installation we need to produce package. Or - do sudo make install from build directory, then get config template from dist/share/configs and produce proper one in /opt/celllframe-node/etc. Anyway we suggest you to produce the package with command cpack from the build directory.
If you downloaded or build from sources a debian pacakge, like cellframe-node_2.11-4-buster_amd64.deb you need to install it with dpkg command. Example:
sudo dpkg -i -plow ./cellframe-node_2.11-4-buster_amd64.deb
1. Create file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/demlabs.list with command sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/demlabs.list one line below
For Debian 10: deb https://debian.pub.demlabs.net/ buster main
For Ubuntu 18 (Bionic): deb https://debian.pub.demlabs.net/ bionic main universe
2. Then download public signature and install it:
wget https://debian.pub.demlabs.net/debian.pub.demlabs.net.gpg
sudo apt-key add demlabskey.asc
3. Then update your apt cache and install the package:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cellframe-node
During installation it asks some questions
All this could be changed after in configs
Auto online. If true, the node goes online after he starts and then try to keep this state automatically
Debug mode. If true - produce more log output in files. Suggested to set true until the testing period
Debug stream headers. Dump stream headers in logs, set it true only if you want to get more debug information about stream packages passing through. Suggested false for almost everybody
Accept connections. Enable/disable listening network address. Set false if you don't want to accept network connections to your node
Server address. Network address used for listening. Set 0.0.0.0 if you want to listen all network interfaces on your computer
Server port (optional, usually don't ask). Server port, 8079 by default but sometimes better to set it to 80 or 443 to masquerade service as web service
Kelvin-testnet: Enable network. Set true if you want to connect your node with kelvin-testnet
Kelvin-testnet: Node type (role). Select node type (or node role) from suggested list with short descriptions. By default suggested to select full
Open /opt/cellframe-node/etc/cellframe-node.conf with command sudo nano /opt/cellframe-node/etc/cellframe-node.conf and find next section:
# VPN stream channel processing module
[srv_vpn]
# Turn to true if you want to share VPN service from you node
enabled=false
# List of loca security access groups. Built in: expats,admins,services,nobody,everybody
network_address=10.11.12.0
network_mask=255.255.255.0
#pricelist=[kelvin-testnet:0.00001:KELT:3600:SEC:mywallet0,kelvin-testnet:0.00001:cETH:3600:SEC:mywallet1,private:1:WOOD:10:SEC:mywallet0]
Turn enabled parameter to true thats enable VPN service on your node. Then, the next lines network_address and network_mask usually you don't need to touch. Default configuration reserves network addresses for 254 connections at one time, if you have more - change network mask to smth like 255.255.0.0 and network address to 10.11.0.0 thats gives you 4095 local addresses.
Thats important - all the addresses are local and used only inside virtual private network (VPN). For this address and mask also should be configured OS - should be present DNS server, switched on IP4 forwarding and configured NAT. Example of such configurations are below:
Next line pricelist if commented out it shares service for free.
Pricelist line has list of values, splitted with : symbol. What it means lets see in example kelvin-testnet:0.00001:KELT:3600:SEC:mywallet0:
kelvin-testnet thats the chain network name where the price token issued0.00001 price per units. Important: not for one unit but for all the units, in our example - for 1 hour.KELT token ticker thats will be used for payments3600 units number thats costs price 0.00001SEC unit type, could be SEC for seconds, DAY for days, MB for megabyte. IMPORTANT: if selected MB accounting would be not by time but by used traffic amount 6.mywallet wallet name for payments accommodation, should be created before with cellframe-node-cli. Used for signing conditioned transactions with receipts therefore they pass values to the selected wallet.You could enter any number of such prices
Install DNS server, it could be any other than Bind9 but for example we will use exactly thats one
sudo apt-get install bind9
Open /etc/sysctl.conf with command sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf and find line
# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
#net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
I had it on 27-28 line in config. Uncomment net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 as the comment above suggests. Then after you've changed them and saved changes, implement them with:
sudo sysctl -p
Then after reboot they will be implemented automatically
Easiest way is to install arno-iptables-firewall with the next command:
sudo apt-get install arno-iptables-firewall
It would ask next questions:
External network interfaces answer with you network interface thats used for internet access. Usually its eth0 or wifi0 but could be different, examine you network configuration firstDo you want to manage the firewall setup with debconf answer YesExternal network interfaces answer tun0 if you haven't configured any other VPN servers. If they are - find what the tunnel number is biggest and list all of them here with your tunnel name (tun<max number plus 1>)Open external TCP-ports answer 8079 or what the port do you configured for cellframe node when it was installedOpen external UDP-ports: answer same as in previousInternal network interfaces answer tun0 if you haven't configured any other VPN servers. If they are - find what the tunnel number is biggest and list all of them here with your tunnel name (tun<max number plus 1>)Internal subnets here should be network_adddres/network_mask from VPN service configuration, 10.11.12.0/255.255.255.0 in our exampleShould be restarted answer No because we need some more configsNow lets increase config ask level and reconfigure the package with the next command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow arno-iptables-firewall
For answers where you'll see right answers just press enter to skip them. Then the next questions should appears:
Is DHCP used on external interfaces? usually answer Yes, answer No only if you have static network configuration for external connectionsShould the machine be pingable from the outside world? answer Yes because we use pings for network speed measurementsDo you want to enable NAT? answer YesInternal networks with access to external networks: here you list internal networks again, 10.11.12.0/255.255.255.0 in our exampleShould the firewall be (re)started now? now answer Yes and have everything ready for routingIf the node is installed in your system you need only to check it if its runned on your system
sudo service cellframe-node status
And if its not runned - start it. Start after reboot should be automatically executed.
sudo service cellframe-node start
To stop it use the next command:
sudo service cellframe-node stop
First you need to publish you public IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses (for current moment we support only IPv4)
sudo /opt/cellframe-node/bin/cellframe-node-cli net -net kelvin-testnet get status
It should print smth like this
Network "kelvin-testnet" has state NET_STATE_SYNC_CHAINS (target state NET_STATE_ONLINE), active links 3 from 4, cur node address 374C::CEB5::6740::D93B
Look at the end of address, thats you node address, 374C::CEB5::6740::D93B use it to update information about your node, as in example below:
sudo /opt/cellframe-node/bin/cellframe-node-cli node add -net kelvin-testnet -addr 374C::CEB5::6740::D93B -cell 0x0000000000000001 -ipv4 5.89.17.176
Here is cell 0x0000000000000001 used by default until we haven't finished cell autoselection. Then ipv4 address is 5.89.17.176 replace it with your public IPv4 address. Same could be added ipv6 address with argument -ipv6
To say world that you have VPN service you need to place order. First lets see the market, what orders are already present:
sudo /opt/cellframe-node/bin/cellframe-node-cli net_srv -net kelvin-testnet order find -srv_uid 0x0000000000000001 -direction sell
It should print list if you've syncronized well before (should happens automatically by default).
Anyway, lets create our order, changing price in it and in cellframe-node.cfg if you see in list thats market changed and you need to change prices as well.
Here is exmaple based on our pricelist in previous examples:
sudo /opt/cellframe-node/bin/cellframe-node-cli net_srv -net kelvin-testnet order create -direction sell -srv_uid 0x0000000000000001 -price_unit 2 -price_token KELT -price 0.0000010
And then you just wait some for network synchronisation and your order will see everybody.
Description of arguments
direction buy or sell, for VPN service publishing it must be sellsrv_uid Service UID, for VPN service set 0x0000000000000001price_unit Set 2 for Seconds, 1 for Megabytesprice_token Token tickerprice Price for one unit, price for one second in our exampleImportant: if you set price in configs for units set, 3600 in our example - here you set price for your single one unit, for one second in example.
