  1. git clone https://github.com/nemfoundation/symbol-testnet-bootstrap.git

  2. cd symbol-testnet-bootstrap/api-harvest-assembly

  3. docker-compose up --build --detach / docker-compose up --build -d to Start the Node

  4. To Change your node name, turn off your node with: “docker-compose down” then you must install nano app, it looks like this: “apt-get install nano”

  5. After that, you must access: nano api-node/config-input.yaml ( Check Video)

there is a one point that in some cases on ubuntu (or maybe other OS) code should start with (sudo) . if code write like this : docker-compose up --build -d (without sudo) ERROR will appear.

  1. For successful run of harvesting node you should also open ports 7900 and 7901, as they are closed by default in Digital Ocean droplets. So before docker-compose up --build --detach run:
    ufw allow 7900/tcp
    ufw allow 7901/tcp

yes but on ubuntu need to be root to run this script (ufw allow 7900/tcp)
To become root user type: sudo -i or sudo -s
