Setup Tutorial: Running an Ergo Full Node on a Headless Raspberry Pi

A tutorial on how to setup and run an Ergo Full Node on a Headless Raspberry Pi.

test1

A headless raspberry pi (pi, raspi, or raspberrypi) does not have a monitor or mouse plugged in. Instead, you are securely remoted into the pi via the terminal command line.

This is geared toward beginners who want to learn and hopefully get more Ergo nodes running! See ErgoNodes.net.

Don't worry, it's not that hard, and you will feel super cool afterwards.

The tutorial includes 3 Tutorial Levels:

Recommended for just getting started, step-by-step guide with heavy hand holding.

Recommended after you've setup a node a few times, automated script for setup. Quick start.

(COMING SOON) Recommended docker ergo node for the super savvy. This will allow bootstrap from genesis or start from a snapshot for a quick sync.

Update Tutorial: Updating your Ergo Node Version

To update your ergo node, use this script in resources. Run by python3 ergo_node_update.py from \resources directory.

Issues, Improvements, Help

This project is still in work #buildinginpublic

Too Much Work - Something Easier!

A really simple and nice option is to just use Satergo full node wallet.

You can just download and run it, batteries included. If you don't have the computer memory storage, you can reference a "remote" full node.

This is a great option, plus the UI/UX is beautiful.


Special Thanks

Appreciate the help from the following folks and resources!
