Setup Cosmovisor v4 for QuickSiver Innuendo-5 testnet

by Raúl - Spanish Node

Install: go install cosmossdk.io/tools/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@v1.4.0

1. Create new directories

mkdir -p ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/upgrades/v1.3.0/bin

2. Copy the current version to the Cosmovisor's genesis folder.

cp $(which quicksilverd) ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/

Check it, shoud be v1.3.2
${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/quicksilverd version

3. Compile the new binary with tag v1.3.2 and copy/move it to the v1.3.0 update folder:

mv quicksilver/build/quicksilverd ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/upgrades/v1.3.0/bin

or

cp $(which quicksilverd) ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/upgrades/v1.3.0/bin

4. Set the working folder for Cosmovisor before the ugprade.

   ​​​​ln -s -T ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/genesis ${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/current
   

5. Create a service file for Cosmovisor if doesn't exist

echo "[Unit]
Description=Cosmovisor QuickSilver Service
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=${USER}
Environment=DAEMON_NAME=quicksilverd
Environment=DAEMON_RESTART_AFTER_UPGRADE=true
Environment=DAEMON_HOME=${HOME}/.quicksilverd
Environment=UNSAFE_SKIP_BACKUP=true 
Environment=DAEMON_RESTART_DELAY=30s 
Environment=DAEMON_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE=512
ExecStart=$(which cosmovisor) run start
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=8192
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
" >cosmovisor.service

6. Replace the old service file for new (check the file names and services)

sudo mv cosmovisor.service /lib/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl stop quicksilver.service && sudo systemctl disable quicksilver.service 
sudo systemctl enable cosmovisor.service && sudo systemctl start cosmovisor.service

7. Check the logs to see if everything is OK. (ctrl + C to stop).

sudo journalctl -fu cosmovisor -o cat

8. Optionally, add to .profile:

nano $HOME/.profile

#cosmovisor
export DAEMON_NAME=quicksilverd
export DAEMON_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE=512
export DAEMON_RESTART_DELAY=30s
export UNSAFE_SKIP_BACKUP=false
export DAEMON_RESTART_AFTER_UPGRADE=true
export DAEMON_HOME=${HOME}/.quicksilverd

#add this to continue using quicksilverd for commands, this is optional
PATH="${HOME}/.quicksilverd/cosmovisor/current/bin:$PATH" 

Save it and refresh the env:

source $HOME/.profile
