Problem with Running private rippled on Ubuntu


Tim_haydn

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I am very new to ripple and tried to run ripple private network on my AWS ubuntu server, I followed official doc Build and Run rippled on Ubuntu( 18.04) to setup rippled ( version 1.5.0) . I guess its working but facing some weird problem with it, I am only able to start rippled with ./rippled, tried a lot of commands like this sudo service systemctl start rippled or  sudo service systemctl restart rippled, but I get error each time " Failed to restart systemctl.service: Unit systemctl.service not found" . I ran command from directory where rippled exec( inside my_build) file is present. I am not sure what is the reason. 

When I start rippled with ./rippled , it runs and I can see info with commands like ./rippled server_info or ./rippled server_state. I am running command with default ubuntu user, I read somewhere to run this without root, but it's not working either. 

 

Is it normal or will it create problem later? Can anyone help me please?
Also, can I run two private rippled network without connecting to mainnet, I want a separate network that work like ripple but not connected to main ripple, all transactions should belong to those private server?

I selected RocksDb , have AWS c5xLarge Instance, so I do not think memory or storage is problem , I have attached configuration file( its under /home/ubuntu/.config/ripple) if anyone needs to have a look at it.

Did you follow https://xrpl.org/build-run-rippled-ubuntu.html? You could also have used the install (https://xrpl.org/install-rippled-on-ubuntu.html#main_content_body), would have saved you the build, but kudo's for going through the complete build :-)

At the end of the build manual it mentions:

You may also want to install a systemd unit. For more information, see systemd for Upstart Users . You can use the official rippled system unit file  or modify it to suit your needs.

From your text I think that is the part you missed. You can download the service file here: https://github.com/ripple/rippled/blob/master/Builds/containers/shared/rippled.service. These files normally are placed in the directory /lib/systemd/system/ . After you copied the file there, you must then first enable and then start the service and off you go.

Hi, yes, I followed this link: https://xrpl.org/build-run-rippled-ubuntu.html

Yes, I missed to add the service file,  I think this will do. Just a basic query, in this service file, 

ExecStart=/opt/ripple/bin/rippled --net --silent --conf /etc/opt/ripple/rippled.cfg

Should I replace this path /opt/ripple/bin/rippled with the config file path I have in my system, right?  My config files are here: /home/ubuntu/.config/ripple

Also, do I need to create a new User & Group as rippled  and give them permission?

Thank you.

I think it is best practice to not run it under root but run it under its own user, so yes, I would do that.
