OPERATORS / 01
Follow Apothem.
Verify each step.
A source-based Rust follower path for chain 51. This recipe does not enable mining or signing.
01. Build from the public repository
Use the repository’s pinned Rust toolchain and platform prerequisites. Keep the version output with your deployment notes.
git clone https://github.com/XDCIndia/xOneRS.git
cd xOneRS
cargo build --locked --release -p xone
./target/release/xone --version02. Start a testnet follower
Run from the repository directory so the bootnodes file resolves. The data directory below is specific to Apothem. Review the complete operator guide before changing ports or exposing RPC.
./target/release/xone --network apothem --datadir ./apothem-data \
--bootnodes "$(paste -sd, ops/bootnodes/apothem.txt)" --http03. Check identity and progress
Use read-only JSON-RPC requests to inspect chain ID, block number, and sync progress. A responding endpoint alone does not demonstrate that the node is synced or on the expected chain.
04. Operate with a recovery plan
Observe disk growth and logs during sync. Preserve the data and logs if the client refuses a block. Follow the repository’s upgrade and rollback guide before replacing a binary.
