✅Reinstalling the node from scratch

Sometimes a blank slate is what you need..

If you are receiving errors and cannot debug, or you are worried you may have messed things up, reinstalling the node may be the fastest way to save the day.

The procedure below will guide you to ensure you do not lose your keys. However, make sure to have a local backup of your entire node/.config folder for security.

Only if you are 100% sure that you have an extra node/.config folder backup somewhere, then proceed.

Stop the node.

service ceremonyclient stop

IMPORTANT: Backup your .config folder to ~/backup

mv ~/ceremonyclient/node/.config ~/backup

Delete the ceremonyclient folder.

rm -r ~/ceremonyclient

Delete the service file (back up any customizations you had made to the file).

rm /lib/systemd/system/ceremonyclient.service

Now, reinstall your node, just follow again the Node Auto-installer

After reinstalling your node, as soon as the first node log entries appears, stop the service.

service ceremonyclient stop

Remove your new node .config folder and import your previous .config folder in ceremonyclient/node/

rm -r ~/ceremonyclient/node/.config && mv ~/backup/.config ~/ceremonyclient/node/

Restart your node.

service ceremonyclient start

Modify the service file if you previously had customizations (like for CPU limiting - Limiting your CPU usage ).

Done!
