Quick Installscript for VeChain Thor Node and Web3-Gear

All Tests are done on Vultr. Register if you want to and power up a VPS: https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7097618

This is just a simple installscript for a Vechain Thor Node - mainly for myself. Feel free to fork it or just use sniplets of it. Do not use this for Mainnet Nodes without checking for additional security!

I now added a script to install the Web3-Gear to query more accounts and contracts on the vechain blockchain.

1.) Install VeChain Thor Node

This Script is tested on Debian 8/9 64bit and Ubuntu 16.04/17.10/18.04 64bit. You can go to the script step-by-step or just execute this from shell:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mirei83/vechain-deploy/master/VechainThorNode-deploy.sh | bash

2.) Make it AutoStart (optional)

In Debian: Add the following line bevor "exit 0" in /etc/rc.local

"/PATH/TO/start-vechain-thor.sh"

In Ubuntu: Add this to your crontab

"@reboot root $HOME/.profile; $HOME/start-vechain-thor.sh"

3.) enable API form outside (optional)

change "start-vechain-thor.sh" to

/root/go/src/VeChain/thor/bin/thor -network main --api-addr 0.0.0.0:8669

4.) Install Web3-Gear

As with the first script, simply execute every single step in "VeChain_Web3_deploy.sh" or just do a:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mirei83/vechain-deploy/master/VeChain_Web3_deploy.sh | bash

5a.) Start Node

$GOPATH/src/VeChain/thor/bin/thor -network main

5b.) Start Web3-Gear

web3-gear --host 0.0.0.0 

5c.) Start Node + Web3-Gear in Background

./start-vechain-thor.sh

6.) After that, you can do some queries with curl
