Cardano Node Upgrades
Upgrade to 1.34.1 from 1.3x.x
Quick update guide from 1.33.0 (or older) to 1.34.1
if you are upgrading from older versions (1.29.0 or older) this upgrade will resync/replay all the blocks, so be ready that after the upgrade the node, depending on your server specs, will take some (30min - 2h) time to start.
Quick update guide for SPOs who have the previous version already installed 1.30.x
If you are installing from scratch, then follow the installation guide: https://cardano-node-installation.stakepool247.eu/
- 1.Let's start with backing up current binaries
1
cd ~/.local/bin/
2
3
# let's create a folder with the version number
4
mkdir -p $(cardano-node version | grep -oP '(?<=cardano-node )[0-9\.]+')
5
6
# copying files to the created folder
7
cp cardano-node $(cardano-node version | grep -oP '(?<=cardano-node )[0-9\.]+')/
8
cp cardano-cli $(cardano-node version | grep -oP '(?<=cardano-node )[0-9\.]+')/
Copied!
2. Let's move forward with upgrading the system packages
1
# let's update the system first
2
sudo bash -c 'sudo apt-get update -y; sudo apt-get upgrade -y'
Copied!
3. let's download
1
# let's create a directory where we will be downloading source code
2
cd ~
3
mkdir -p git
4
cd git
Copied!
1
# just in case you already had a source directory with cardano-node source code - let's delete it and download fresh one.
2
rm -rf cardano-node
Copied!
1
# let's clone source code from git
2
git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node.git
3
4
cd cardano-node
5
git fetch --all --recurse-submodules --tags
6
7
# checking out the 1.34.1 version
8
git checkout tags/1.34.1
9
Copied!
1
# ensuring that we are using cabal 8.10.4 version
2
# by specifying the particular compiler to be used.
3
cabal update
4
cabal configure --with-compiler=ghc-8.10.4
Copied!
1
# addinng extra flages for libsodium library
2
echo "package cardano-crypto-praos" >> cabal.project.local
3
echo " flags: -external-libsodium-vrf" >> cabal.project.local
Copied!
1
# now let's compile the code
2
cabal build all
Copied!
And now we wait... it could take some while (1h+ ) to compile, depending on your server's CPU
Before the next step - STOP your node so it doesn't lock the carano-node file for overwriting
1
sudo systemctl stop cardano-node
Copied!
1
# moving the freshly compiled binaries to bin folder
2
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/
3
cp -p dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.10.4/cardano-cli-1.34.1/x/cardano-cli/build/cardano-cli/cardano-cli ~/.local/bin/
4
cp -p dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.10.4/cardano-node-1.34.1/x/cardano-node/build/cardano-node/cardano-node ~/.local/bin/
Copied!
1
# let's check if we have successfully installed the latst cardano-node and cardano-cli versions.
2
which cardano-node && which cardano-cli
3
cardano-node --version
4
cardano-cli --version
Copied!
you should now have similar output:
Now we can start the cardano node process
1
sudo systemctl start cardano-node
Copied!
and check the log files if everything is starting up as planned:
1
journalctl -u cardano-node.service -f -o cat
Copied!
that's it - you have upgraded your node to the latest cardano-node version, now do the same update on all of your other production servers (or copy generated cardano-cli / cardano-node bin files).
