This has not been tested, it's a placeholder for the August 2024 release of Ubuntu 24.04.1
To start, read the official release notes.
If your install fits into "vanilla Ubuntu plus maybe a handful of 3rd-party repos", then this guide for a simple upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat" from Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish" can be helpful. 3rd-party repos are handled with a find command.
To start, read the official release notes.
If your install fits into "vanilla Debian plus maybe a handful of 3rd-party repos", then this guide for a simple upgrade to Debian 12 "bookworm" from Debian 11 "bullseye" can be helpful. 3rd-party repos are handled with a find command.
Note upgrade is only supported from Debian 11 to Debian 12. If you are on Debian 10, upgrade to Debian 11 first and make sure to change the security repo as per the release notes. Then once on Debian 11, you can upgrade to Debian 12.
Nethermind as of January 2023 takes about 860 GiB of space on a snap sync, and then grows by ~ 30 GiB/week.
When it starts to fill its disk, it can be online pruned to free up space again.
Caveat that while several folx have used online pruning successfully, there is risk associated with it. The two failure modes that have been reported are:
A typical user of eth-docker is someone who wants to become a validator on the Ethereum network, also known as staking or staker, or someone who is already a validator on the Ethereum network and wants to add more validators to their setup. They can be someone who is going to setup their machine at home, someone who is going to use some kind of VPS to host their setup, or some kind of institutional staker working for large staking services or large investors.
eth-docker is an automation wrapper to run an "Ethereum node", consisting of a consensus layer client, execution layer client, and validator client.
Geth 1.10.23 fixes a bug in 1.10.22, which would have resulted in missing state in its database. The Go-Ethereum team recommends to roll the chain back and let Geth catch up again, if and only if you had updated to 1.10.22. If you did not, just update to 1.10.23 now and call it done.
This is how to roll back to a previous block when using eth-docker.
./ethd update and ./ethd up should do it.
As of August 2022, a 1TB SSD is getting tight to run an Ethereum node in. The recommendation now is for 2TB of space. I wanted to see what it takes to still fit into 1TB.
EIP-4844 will increase space need by another 34 GiB or so. This is a 2023 discussion however.
Syncing an Ethereum node is largely reliant on IOPS, I/O Per Second. Budget SSDs will struggle to an extent, and some won't be able to sync at all.
This document aims to snapshot some known good and known bad models.
For size, 2TB come recommended as of mid-2022. 1TB can work for now but is getting tight.
High-level, QLC and DRAMless are far slower than "mainstream" SSDs.
It's July 2022, Ethereum is preparing for merge. There are plenty of guides on how to get merge-ready for validators, but few for people running RPC nodes now.
