Monero Node for Umbrel

Run a Monero node on your Umbrel personal server. An unofficial app by @deverickapollo and @CryptoGrampy
getmonero.org »

Development

1. Clone the Repository

Open a terminal and clone the Monero node repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/monero-node-for-umbrel.git

cd monero-node-for-umbrel

2. Modify const.js for Local Development

Locate the const.js file in your project directory and update the file paths as described. Replace the existing file paths with the following:

const JSON_STORE_FILE = process.env.JSON_STORE_FILE || "./data/monero-config.json";

const MONERO_CONF_FILEPATH = process.env MONERO_CONF_FILE || "./monero/.monero/bitmonero.conf";

3. Create Necessary Directories and Files

Make sure the directories and files specified in the paths exist. If not, create them:

mkdir -p ./data
touch ./data/monero-config.json

mkdir -p ./monero/.monero
touch ./monero/.monero/bitmonero.conf

4. Install Dependencies

Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed. Then install the necessary npm packages:

npm install

5. Set Environment Variables and Run the App

Set the environment variables and run the app. Replace your-monerod-ip with the IP address of your Monero daemon. For local testing, you can use 127.0.0.1 if you're running the Monero daemon locally.

MONERO_HOST=your-monerod-ip MONEROD_RPC_PORT=18081 npm run start:all:dev

Alternatively, if running the Monero daemon on your local machine, use:

MONERO_HOST=127.0.0.1 MONEROD_RPC_PORT=18081 npm run start:all:dev

Troubleshooting Guide

Cannot find module umbrel-monero-master/build/services/monerod.js

This error suggests that the module monerod.js is not found in the expected location.

Solution

1. Build the Project

   Make sure you have built the project correctly. Run the build command if necessary:

npm run build

This command should generate the build directory with all necessary artifacts.

"vue-cli-service: not found"

This error indicates that the vue-cli-service command is not available, which is typically used to serve Vue.js applications during development. Solution

Install Vue CLI

Ensure that you have Vue CLI installed globally. If not, install it using npm:

npm install -g @vue/cli

Production

• npm run start

Docker

To build:

• docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 -f ./Dockerfile --tag umbrel-monero/monero-frontend:v1.0.0 --load .
• docker-compose up

Getting started

This app can be installed in one click via the Umbrel Community App Store.

Copying blockchain from another node

1. SSH into Umbrel node and input password : ssh [email protected]
2. Stop Monero app: sudo /home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/app stop meganero-monero
3. Archive/Delete contents of /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/meganero-monero/data/monero/lmdb, i.e.: rm data.mdb lock.mdb
4. From device with copy of Monero blockchain, go to the data directory for the monero chain then copy the contents to the lmdb directory: scp -r . [email protected]:/home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/meganero-monero/data/monero/lmdb
5. Once you're done moving files over, start up the app again sudo /home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/app start meganero-monero

Updating

1. sudo ./scripts/app stop meganero-monero
2. sudo docker container prune
3. docker images
4. Remove Old Image
   1. Remove Specific Docker Image:
      1. To remove a specific image, you can use: docker rmi [IMAGE ID or REPOSITORY:TAG] For instance, if the image ID is abcd1234, you can remove it using: docker rmi abcd1234 Or if the image's repository and tag are my_image:latest, you can remove it using: docker rmi my_image:latest
   2. Remove All Docker Images:
      1. sudo docker image prune -a
5. sudo docker pull deverickapollo/umbrel-monero:dev-refactor-settings - Make sure to set the tag to the version you want to pull. We recommend using the master branch.
6. sudo ./scripts/app start meganero-monero
