🌐Custom Port (Optional)

This step is to resolve port conflicts, as the algorand node uses the default port of 8080. You can skip this step if you want to use default port.

If your 8080 port is already using on other apps, you can using custom with this following command.

Go to algorand node directory

cd /var/lib/algorand

Copy the config example

cp config.json.example config.json

Edit the config.json

nano config.json

Search EndpointAddress and here is the example.

Then change the port from 127.0.0.1:0 to 127.0.0.1:8980 or you can use port you want. Next step is save your config using CTRL +X , CTRL + Y and then press enter.

Restart your node

sudo systemctl restart algorand

Check your node status

sudo systemctl status algorand

Check your node status to make sure your port is already changed. Here is the example.

Don't forget to remember which port you're using for algorand node to run goracle node later.

Now your algorand node is ready to use.
