Node Operator

Welcome to the Swan Mainnet Node Operator Guide! This page provides a Docker image for running a Swan Mainnet node. The image is built on the official nebulablock/swan-node-mainnet image and is designed to be easy to use and highly configurable.

Getting Started

To start a new container, use the following command:

docker run -d \
  -v /opt/swan:/opt/swan \
  -p 8545:8545 \
  -e L1RPC=$L1_RPC \
  -e L1BEACON=$L1_Beacon_RPC \
  --name swan-node \
  nebulablock/swan-node-mainnet

Tip: Looking to speed up your node initialization? Check out our Snapshots guide for a faster synchronization method that can significantly reduce your initial setup time.

This command will start a new container in detached mode, mapping the container's port 8545 to the host's port 8545 and persisting data in the /opt/swan directory.

Environment Variables

The image supports the following environment variables:

• L1RPC: The URL of the L1 RPC provider.

• L1BEACON: The URL of the L1 Beacon RPC provider.

These variables can be set using the -e flag when running the container, as shown in the example command above.

Volumes

The image uses a volume at /opt/swan to persist data between container restarts. This volume can be mounted using the -v flag when running the container, as shown in the example command above.

Ports

The image exposes port 8545 for RPC connections. This port can be mapped to a host port using the -p flag when running the container, as shown in the example command above.
