🔁 5. Launch Your Renergy Node
With configuration complete, you’re ready to start your node and begin syncing with the network.
🖥️ Step 1: Set Up a Screen Session
Running your node inside a screen session allows it to stay active even after you disconnect.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install screen -y
screen -S renergy-node
This creates a dedicated terminal session for your node.
▶️ Step 2: Start the Node Process
Launch the Renergy node using the following command:
renergyd start --home "$HOME/.renergyMainnetNode"
Once started, the node will begin syncing blocks from the network.
⏱️ Step 3: Monitor Sync Progress
You’ll see synchronization logs in real time within the screen session.
To check sync status manually, open another terminal and run:
curl localhost:26657/status
Look for the catching_up field to switch from true to false, indicating full sync.
🧭 Managing the Screen Session
🔑 Detach from the screen safely: Ctrl + A + D
🔄 Reattach later with: screen -r renergy-node
Your node will continue running in the background while detached.
Once fully synced, your node is actively connected to Renergy Blockchain and ready for validator operations.
