Running the node
If you made it this far, you're just one step away from running your very own Demos node!
Running a Node (Normal Mode)
To start a Demos node, simply run:
./run
This will also spin up a Postgres container alongside the node.
If you stop the node (e.g., with CTRL+C or due to a crash), the Postgres container will shut down too.
Restarting the node with ./run will reuse the existing database and continue from where it left off.
Cleaning Up at Start
To force a full reset of the database, use:
./run -c true
This will wipe the Postgres container and restart the database from scratch.
Note: This resets the entire blockchain.
If you're connected to other peers, your node will resync from them.
If you're running solo, the blockchain will restart from the genesis block.
