Become Root
sudo su
Create GETH User
sudo useradd -m geth
Switch To The New User's Home
cd /home/geth
Download The GETH
wget -O /home/geth/geth_linux https://github.com/binance-chain/bsc/releases/latest/download/geth_linux
chmod +x geth_linux
Create start.sh File.
echo "./geth_linux --config ./config.toml --datadir ./mainnet --cache 18000 --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs --txlookuplimit 0 --http --maxpeers 100 --ws --syncmode=full --snapshot=false" > start.sh
chmod +x start.sh
Install Unzip
apt update
apt install unzip
Download Mainnet Configs
wget https://github.com/binance-chain/bsc/releases/latest/download/mainnet.zip
unzip mainnet.zip
./geth_linux --datadir mainnet init genesis.json
Setup systemd
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/geth.service
Then paste the following;
[Unit]
Description=BSC Full Node
[Service]
User=geth
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/geth
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/geth/start.sh
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
After that;
chown -R geth.geth /home/geth/*
systemctl enable geth
systemctl start geth
Show logs
tail -F /home/geth/mainnet/bsc.log
Show Sync State
./geth_linux attach http://localhost:8545 --exec eth.syncing
Or use this command to calculate number of blocks you are behind by
./geth_linux attach http://localhost:8545 --exec 'eth.syncing.highestBlock-eth.syncing.currentBlock'
How to Prune
systemctl stop geth
cd /home/geth
./geth_linux snapshot prune-state --datadir ./mainnet
chown -R geth.geth ./mainnet
systemctl start geth
