In this step you need to setup your node with all requirement needed to run goracle node. Make sure your Algorand Node is running with same machine. If you're using different machine, you need to open 8080 or custom port.

This tutorial is using own algorand node. Make sure your Algorand Node is fully synced.

If you want to run goracle node using own algorand node, you can do by the following command below.

goracle init

  • Continue? [y/N]? y

  • Use Algonode Algorand API service (recommended)? [Y/n]? n

  • Use a Purestake account for Algorand API service? [y/N]? n

  • Enter full Algorand node API URL (e.g. http://example.com:4001): http://127.0.0.1:8080

Don't forget to add http:// in the beginning of your server ip. example http://127.0.0.1:8080 . Don't put the server like this 127.0.0.1:8080 . Make sure your port is same as from the algod.net output.

  • Enter Algorand API auth token, or press enter for default: yourtoken

Run Goracle Node

Before run your goracle node, make sure your machine is already install the docker.io. If not, you can use this following command to install.

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ttimmatti/dependencies/main/docker.sh)

goracle docker-start --background

Check your goracle node logs using this command.

docker logs -f goracle-nr

If your node setup correctly, you'll see the logs like this.

Now your node is ready to vote in goracle node.

Switch to Your Own Node (Optional)

If you're already run a node using Algonode or Purestake and want to use your own algorand node, You need to use the following command below.

Don't forget to backup your .goracle file before do this step to avoid being lost.

  • Stop your docker container.

goracle docker-stop

  • Remove your container

docker rm goracle-nr

  • Edit your .goracle file

cd $HOME
nano .goracle

If you see inside .goracle file like this.

.goracle
{
  "blockchain": {
    "authKey": "xxx",
    "server": "https://testnet-algorand.api.purestake.io/ps2",
    "authHeader": "x-api-key",
    "token": "",
    "mnemonic": "xxx",
    "mainAddr": "xxx"
  }
}

You need to delete authKey and authHeader. Then change your server and your token that you get from previous step. The result will be like this.

Make sure your server same as algod.net. Make sure your Algorand Node is fully synced. Don't forget to add http:// when you put the server.

.goracle
{
  "blockchain": {
    "server": "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
    "token": "yourtoken",
