Switch network

If you want to switch your node to Mainnet, Testnet, or RegTest networks:

1. If your node is not in localhost, connect your computer to the node over ssh.

ssh user@server

2. Pick a network that you would like to connect to.

Regtest

In order to switch from another network to Regtest:

sudo service rsk stop
cd /etc/rsk
sudo rm -f node.conf
sudo ln -s regtest.conf node.conf
sudo service rsk start

Using this network, it allows you to start with some wallets (accounts) on your node. These wallets have funds.

Testnet

In order to switch from another network to Testnet:

sudo service rsk stop
cd /etc/rsk
sudo rm -f node.conf
sudo ln -s testnet.conf node.conf
sudo service rsk start

For Mainnet

In order to switch from another network to Mainnet:

sudo service rsk stop
cd /etc/rsk
sudo rm -f node.conf
sudo ln -s mainnet.conf node.conf
sudo service rsk start

By running these instructions in your shell, you are:

  • Stopping the running RSK service.
  • Moving to RSK configuration folder (cd).
  • Removing node.conf, that is a symbolic link to the configuration you're using (rm deletes it).
  • Linking node.conf with the configuration file you decide (ls with the -s option, it makes symbolic - or soft - links). The node is configured to read directly from the node.conf link.
  • Restarting the RSK service.
