## Node Deployment

## Run a Morph Node

This guide describes the approach to starting up a morph node. We create the folder `~/.morph` as our home directory for the following example.

### Hardware requirements

Running the morph node requires 2 processes to be started, which are `geth` and `node`.

`Geth` is the Morph execution layer which needs to meet the [go-ethereum hardware requirements](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum#hardware-requirements), but with less storage, 500GB is enough so far.

`Node` is the Morph consensus layer embedded tendermint which needs to meet the [tendermint hardware requirements](https://docs.tendermint.com/v0.34/tendermint-core/running-in-production.html#processor-and-memory).

According to limitations of the current geth implementation, we only support archive mode for launching a Geth. So the storage size of Geth will constantly increase along with blocks produced.

### Build executable binary

#### Clone morph

mkdir -p ~/.morph 
cd ~/.morph
git clone https://github.com/morph-l2/morph.git

Currently, we use tag v0.1.0-beta as our beta version.

cd morph
git checkout v0.1.0-beta

#### Build Geth

make nccc_geth

#### Build Node

cd ~/.morph/morph/node 
make build

### Sync from genesis block

#### Config Preparation

Download the config files and make data dir

cd ~/.morph
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morph-l2/config-template/main/holesky/data.zip
unzip data.zip

Create a shared secret with node

cd ~/.morph
openssl rand -hex 32 > jwt-secret.txt

#### Script to start the process

*Geth*

./morph/go-ethereum/build/bin/geth --morph-holesky \
    --datadir "./geth-data" \
    --http --http.api=web3,debug,eth,txpool,net,engine \
    --authrpc.addr localhost \
    --authrpc.vhosts="localhost" \
    --authrpc.port 8551 \
    --authrpc.jwtsecret=./jwt-secret.txt \
    --miner.gasprice="100000000" \
    --log.filename=./geth.log

*tail -f geth.log* to check if the Geth is running properly, or you can also exeucte the below curl command to check if you are connected to the peer.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data 
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"net_peerCount","params":[],"id":74}' 
localhost:8545

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":74,"result":"0x3"}

*Node*

./morph/node/build/bin/morphnode --home ./node-data \
     --l2.jwt-secret ./jwt-secret.txt \
     --l2.eth http://localhost:8545 \
     --l2.engine http://localhost:8551 \
     --log.filename ./node.log

tail -f node.log to check if the node is running properly, and you can also execute the command curl to check your node connection status.

curl http://localhost:26657/net_info

### Check sync status

curl http://localhost:26657/status to check the sync status of the node

{
