Run a RogueLayer Full Node (newbie track)

Why run a full node? Apps and indexers need an RPC endpoint. Public endpoints get rate-limited. Running your own gives you predictable, uncensored access — and you support the network.

Time: 1–3 hours setup + sync time. Cost: $20–40/month VPS. Risk: Low. A full node doesn't sign blocks, so no slashing concerns. The main risk is exposing RPC without rate limits (DDoS amplification).

Prerequisites

Resource	Minimum	Recommended
CPU	4 cores	8 cores
RAM	8 GB	16 GB
Disk (SSD)	200 GB	500 GB
Network	100 Mbps symmetric	1 Gbps
OS	Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12	same
Open ports	26656/tcp (P2P) inbound	26656/tcp
Go	1.22+	1.22+
Tools	`git`, `make`, `jq`, `curl`	+ `systemd`

Open P2P (26656) at your firewall. RPC/REST/gRPC ports should NOT be exposed to the public internet on a validator — bind to localhost or to a sentry.

Step 1 — Install rogued

git clone https://github.com/stepheniervella/RL1.git ~/rogue
cd ~/rogue
make install
rogued version

If rogued: command not found, add export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin to ~/.bashrc and re-source.

Step 2 — Initialize, fetch genesis, configure peers

rogued init "$(hostname)" --chain-id roguelayer-1
curl -sSL "$GENESIS_URL" -o ~/.rogued/config/genesis.json

Edit ~/.rogued/config/config.toml and set the seeds = "" line to the value from the constants table.

Step 3 — Decide whether to expose RPC

A full node syncs state regardless. The choice is: do you want to serve queries from your laptop only (localhost), or from the internet (so your app can use it)?

Localhost-only (safe default): skip this step.

Public RPC: open ~/.rogued/config/config.toml, find [rpc], change laddr = "tcp://127.0.0.1:26657" to laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:26657". Open ~/.rogued/config/app.toml, find [api], set enable = true and address = "tcp://0.0.0.0:1317". Put Caddy or Nginx in front with TLS and rate limiting — direct exposure invites DDoS.

Step 4 — Run under systemd

Same unit file as the validator track. Create /etc/systemd/system/rogued.service, replace YOUR_LINUX_USERNAME, then:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now rogued
journalctl -u rogued -f

Step 5 — Wait for sync

rogued status 2>&1 | jq .sync_info

When catching_up is false, you're done.

Verify

curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq '.result.sync_info.latest_block_height'

Compare to the explorer's reported height. They should match within a couple of blocks.

Common failures

No peers. Open port 26656 inbound at the firewall.
disk space errors. Pruning isn't enabled by default. If you don't need full history, edit ~/.rogued/config/app.toml and set pruning = "default".

Run a RogueLayer Full Node (dev track)

A full node syncs all chain state and serves RPC/REST/gRPC. Identical to a validator setup minus the create-validator step, with RPC/REST optionally exposed.

Open P2P (26656) at your firewall. RPC/REST/gRPC ports should NOT be exposed to the public internet on a validator — bind to localhost or to a sentry.

Step 1 — Install rogued

git clone https://github.com/stepheniervella/RL1.git ~/rogue
cd ~/rogue && make install
rogued version

Step 2 — Init + genesis + peers

rogued init "$(hostname)" --chain-id roguelayer-1
curl -sSL "$GENESIS_URL" -o ~/.rogued/config/genesis.json
sed -i 's|^seeds = ".*"|seeds = "'"$SEED_PEERS"'"|' ~/.rogued/config/config.toml

Step 3 — Expose RPC/REST (optional)

To serve external traffic, edit ~/.rogued/config/config.toml:

[rpc]
laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:26657"   # was 127.0.0.1

And ~/.rogued/config/app.toml:

[api]
enable = true
address = "tcp://0.0.0.0:1317"

Put a reverse proxy (Caddy or Nginx) in front with TLS and rate limits. Do NOT expose 26657 raw to the public internet.

Step 4 — Run under systemd

Use the same unit file as the validator track:

[Unit]
Description=RogueLayer full node
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=%i
ExecStart=/home/%i/go/bin/rogued start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl enable --now rogued
until rogued status 2>&1 | jq -e '.sync_info.catching_up == false' >/dev/null; do sleep 10; done

Verify

curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq '.result.sync_info'
curl -s localhost:1317/cosmos/base/tendermint/v1beta1/blocks/latest | jq '.block.header.height'

Common failures

No peers → open 26656 inbound at the firewall.
Disk fills up → enable pruning in ~/.rogued/config/app.toml: pruning = "default".
