  • Open Node Launchpad v0.6.1 if you are not already on that version
  • MacOS/Linux users will auto upgrade assuming you followed the steps in the previous release: Discord

:desktop: For Windows Launchpad Users

  • Open Node Launchpad v0.6.1 if you are not already on that version
  • Press O to access the Options screen.
  • Then, press Ctrl + U, and hit Enter. This will upgrade your nodes. Upgrading can take several minutes for each node. Please don’t close the app or stop your nodes during this process.
  • Your nodes will now stop
  • Press Ctrl + S to start your nodes again

:computer: For MacOS/Linux CLI (antctl) Users

  • Update to the new antctl version
  • MacOS/Linux users will auto upgrade assuming you followed the steps in the previous release: Discord

:computer: For Windows CLI (antctl) Users

  • If you’re using the CLI tool, please update and upgrade. Run the update first: antup update

I’m not aware of special steps for this. Please can you post all instructions here for those who don’t use Discord.

Anyone know if auto updates play well with @aatonnomicc’s awesome anm script which has been auto updating my nodes for several releases now. I’d like to leave it alone if possible.

@scottefc86 reports that auto updates work and I think he is still using anms so i think we are good to go just watch the bandwidth new nodes are thirsty for bandwidth.

I had to drop from 2k nodes from home to 750 nodes

Can we set node version to “” in the config?

Or I meant if the nodes can auto upgrade without ANM updating nodes?

yes if you want anms to upgrade nodes 1 at a time.

but im thinking just set the upgrade hour to 25 so i never runs and then the nodes should just auto upgrade. but you would need to run antup node so that any new nodes added by anms will be the latest version.

auto upgrades will probably brake anms as it tracks versions of nodes in an array when it starts them.

Also I have been tinkering with adding the possibility to choose amount or % of nodes to stop if thing goes Southside, it is not done yet but hope I get some time soon.

I show it to you when ready.

My nodes have settled back down now and using around the same b/w as before, maybe a tad higher, but I had the headroom anyhow.

Wonder how much traffic your file testing is causing? Its good to do since that level of traffic would not even be as high as a well used autonomi network

For me on a VPS, every node that starts just dies after a couple of seconds of starting. I tried rebooting the VPS, but the same things happens.

I updated ANTCTL, and upgraded everything, but it’s not functioning.

Any ideas as to why it’d be killing nodes instantly? I’ve never had this before with any other update on the VPS.

I have to say that I’m not seeing a difference. Maybe a slight decrease now they’ve all started and things have stabilised for my 50 nodes on an RPi4.

That was a restart with new nodes though.

I had 2 k nodes using about 60Mb/s up down then stopped all nodes and started 1500 nodes and my broadband was saturated so I decreased down to 750 nodes and is at same level as before.

Ok, so looking at my NTracking graph (thank you!) it’s clear mine are using a bit more bandwidth for the same number of nodes. About 2.4Mb/s before and about 3.1Mb/s now:-

But nothing like the proportional increase you are seeing that’s caused you to have to run less than half the number of nodes.

It may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of millions of nodes but disparities like this bother me!

The number of connections seems roughly the same as before. About 10 to 25 per node.

here is what I am seeing from the node metrics.

Do you have a dedicated VPS and not a shared similar to ISP’s CGNAT? Do you set ports or use relay?

It’s a dedicated VPS, and I don’t set ports.

Because they have been talking abiut removing relay nodes, you use Upnp?

It could be related to this, though it’d be a new development if so.

upnp doesn’t seem to be enabled on the VPS… I’d need to look into how that can be enabled / find another solution.

Might be good to try and set up port forwarding or upnp

Chriso helped on Discord. Apparently --no-upnp is needed when setting up the nodes. Hasn’t been an issue before now for me, but seems to sort it, so that’s good.

Edit: Ah, spoke too soon… lasted longer, but died again.

This I would do. Set the ports.

The node will use a random port number if you do not set the port. And its more than likely some nodes will choose a port in use by another program. The node is supposed to check that port was not already in use on the system. But programs can start after the node that force their use of the port. Set the ports above 50,000 for safest place.

And yes --no-upnp is a must anyhow.

I doubt either of the above will help your problem but certainly help with the reachability of your node by uploaders. And this also affects quote requests.
