Finally, an active guide about witness installation. Thanks @krnel!
I have been scanning through guides on how to run a full node for steem but the other posts here in steemit that are mostly 11 months old is not working and the poster no longer responding to comments. Only this one gives me hope because I see very recent replies on this thread from the author.
I know you warned that this command make -j$(nproc) steemd takes time. But how much do you think it will normally consumes before it completes?
I asked because I am stucked at 62% for about 40 minutes now. Your response will be appreciated. (-:
Cancel it and increase either your physical RAM or your virtual RAM (swap). If you don't have at least 6-8GB total with both combined, then you might have issues compiling. I learned that later on ;) Give yourself 8GB of swap and it will work after, I'm pretty sure ;) GL
I get past that now after adding 8GB of swap and another 8GB of RAM for the ubuntu setup on VMWare. Thanks a lot! However, I am stuck at about 33% for many hours now when doing --replay-blockchain.
I already restarted my machine once after being stuck there for the first yesterday. How long normally does this procedure completes?
You got the blockchain data downloaded, the config setup, and then it should run it's course. It can take many hours, 12h, depends. Stuck at 33%, I would say retry if you can't get past it.
Looks like I get past 33% after a number of hours. It's now at 34% -- 4600000 of 13492873. The first 30% is faster. Is it normal for the rest of the percentages to be this slower?
What about CPU? Maybe that's the problem?
I am running an Ubuntu on VMWare on my windows 10 workstation which is i7, with 1TB HD and 16GB RAM. I set Ubuntu to have 8GB RAM and setup an 8GB swap file as well.
The farthest distance I've reached on the blockchain replay was at 34% .
Well I have a less powerful i5-2550k, and my tests on my VM can compile with 8gb physical RAM. I don't get why you have issues. I would stay start all over? Try from scratch again, I have no clue :\ sorry
I get past 62% and it seems the command is complete. But I got some errors in the end: https://www.screencast.com/t/cyJ9DnliKSp
I will just go ahead with the other "make" command. I will update after I go through the entire steps here. And by the way, this is my 3rd time going over this guide and I am not giving up on this. This is the only guide that brings me closer to completing the setup. Of course, any bit of help here would do. Thanks!
