Self hosting monero node


On server

apt update && apt update
apt install monero
monerod --datadir ~/.bitmoner --prune-blockchain
// ^ THIS WILL TAKE 2-6 DAYS DEPENDING ON INTERNET SPEED
monerod --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=18081 --confirm-external-bind
// ^ ONLY DO THIS IF USING LAN ONLY

Took long, super easy though.


On client

sudo pacman -S monero
// then add to bashRC
alias wallert="monero-wallet-cli --wallet /wallet/address/path --daemon-address 192.168.1.67:18081 --trusted-daemon"

This way when I type wallert it opens my wallet, and I don’t need a lengthy command.

Side note

I did forget (I swear I know what it is but it wasn’t working) the password to this VM. So I had to delete it and resync it TwT
