Reset Your Nodes

Occasionally, you might need to reset the Nodes on your device. This might be if they have stopped functioning properly or if it's needed to update their code.

Resetting with the Node Launchpad

1

Download the latest version of the Node Launchpad

2

Open the launchpad and Press O to access the Options screen.

3

Press Ctrl + R

4

Type the word reset and Press Enter.

Your nodes will reset and refresh in the background. Sometimes this can take a few moments.

5

Press Q to Launchpad, and then re-open it

6

Press Ctrl + G to add your Nodes again, and Press Enter to start them

Resetting using the CLI

Here's the series of commands for advanced users already using the Node Manager CLI tool: antctl. After resetting, and while adding nodes again, note the additional arguments that should be used each time depending, on your circumstances. In particular the --rewards-address argument which allows you to attach your wallet address to each node. This is now using the Arbitum One network:

1. antup update (to make sure you are on the latest version of the Node Manager)
2. antctl reset
3. antctl add (with the following args)
  --count <# of nodes>                                              => If not specified, only a single node is added
   --log-dir-path <path>                                             => optional, path to store the log files.
  --home-network                                                    => optional, if you're behind a NAT/home router/ without port-forwarding
  --upnp                                                            => optional, if you have enabled upnp in your router, mutually exclusive with home-network
  --node-port <single/range of ports>                               => If --home-network or --upnp is not provided, then you have to port-forward a set of ports and provide them here. We accept a single port i.e., 12000 or a range i.e., 12000-12010. The number of ports here should match the number of nodes specified using --count
  --enable-metrics-server                                           => optional, if you want the stats to be displayed inside the launchpad
  --rewards-address <your ethereum wallet address> evm-arbitrum-one => Must be specified at the end, to store your earned ANT.
4. antctl start --interval 2000
5. antctl status --details
