How to Upgrade your Testnet Node

Before upgrading, it’s recommended to backup your node’s target folder

Install the latest bootstrap:

npm install -g symbol-bootstrap

Peer Node Only

If you are running a Peer only node, run:

symbol-bootstrap start -p testnet -a peer --upgrade (-c myCustomPreset.yml)

The --upgrade option will recreate your server configuration, docker configuration, and upgrade the format of addresses.yml without dropping the existing data or generates keys.

Dual Node or API Node

If you are running an API or a Dual node, run:

symbol-bootstrap start -p testnet -a api --upgrade (-c myCustomPreset.yml)

symbol-bootstrap start -p testnet -a dual --upgrade (-c myCustomPreset.yml)

If you wish to reset to a new/clean testnet node, --reset instead of ‘–upgrade’ will clear up all your data and keys. The keys will be regenerated if you are not providing them with a custom preset. Note that a resync is likely to take >24 hours due to the size of the chain.

It’s worth double-checking that your docker services are running. Validate the services logs and check that your node’s keys and accounts are valid.

Package Version Link
Symbol Bootstrap v0.4.5 symbol-bootstrap
  • Added privateKeySecurityMode. It defines which private keys can be encrypted and stored in the target/addresses.yml:
    • ENCRYPT: All private keys are encrypted and stored in the target’s addresses.yml file. Bootstrap will require a password to operate.
    • PROMPT_MAIN: Main private keys are not stored in the target’s addresses.yml file. Bootstrap will request the main private key when certificates are generated, or transactions need to be signed by the link and enrolProgram commands.
    • PROMPT_MAIN_VOTING: Main and voting private keys are not stored in the target’s addresses.yml file. Bootstrap will request the main private key when certificates are generated, or transactions need to be signed by the link and enrolProgram commands. The voting private key will be requested when generating the voting key file.
    • PROMPT_ALL: No private keys are stored in the in the target’s addresses.yml file. Bootstrap will request the private keys when they are required by the different commands.
  • The preset.yml doesn’t contain any private key anymore, encrypted or otherwise.
  • Certificates are not re-generated if not needed when running --upgrade. In this case, the main account private key is not required and will not be requested with the PROMPT security modes.
  • Voting key files are not re-generated if not needed when running --upgrade. In this case, the voting account private key is not required and will not be requested with the PROMPT_ALL or PROMPT_MAIN_VOTING security modes.
  • Public keys can be used in custom presets in addition to encrypted private keys. If public keys are used, Bootstrap will prompt for the private keys when required.
  • Added encrypt and decrypt commands to encrypt custom presets and decrypt generated target/addresses.yml files:
