Configure Swaptoshi Core
This information assumes that you have already successfully installed Swaptoshi-Core. If you haven't, please visit the Install Swaptoshi-Core Page.
Using a network-specific default configuration
To quickly connect your Swaptoshi Core node to a specific network, specify the desired network with the --network or -n flag.
This will use the default config file for the specific network when starting Swaptoshi Core.
The default configurations are located in the config folder of Swaptoshi Core.
swaptoshi-core start --network NETWORK
NETWORK may be mainnet, testnet, or devnet.
Using a custom config file
Swaptoshi Core uses the default config for connecting to the mainnet by default.
However, it is possible to use Swaptoshi Core with a custom config, by specifying the path to the config file with the --config or -c flag.
The custom config file needs to follow the JSON config structure of Swaptoshi Core. A straightforward method is to copy one of the network-specific default configs of Swaptoshi Core and adjust it to suit your requirements.
~/klayr/
cp .klayr/swaptoshi-core/config/config.json custom-config.json
vim custom-config.json
NOTE: If you intend to connect the node to the mainnet, change the testnet to the mainnet in the snippet above.
swaptoshi-core start --config=/home/klayr/custom-config.json --overwrite-config
NOTE: Remember to restart the node for the new config changes to take effect.
On-chain GovernableConfig, as outlined on the Governance page, will not be overwritten using this method. In this context, overwrite-config can only be used to modify node settings, not on-chain settings.
