Run Standalone

In order to run the daemon as a standalone executable you need to:

  1. Download the latest release of the Ocean wallet (oceand) for Linux or MacOS.
  2. Rename the binary to oceand, move it to your PATH (eg. /usr/local/bin), and grant executable permissions with chmod +x /usr/local/bin/oceand
  3. Download the latest releases of daemon (tdexd) and CLI (tdex) for Linux or MacOS.
  4. Rename the binaries to tdexd and tdex, move them to your PATH, and grante executable permissions with chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tdexd and chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tdex.

You're now ready to start the services.

Let's start with the Ocean wallet by running it on testnet network with a filesystem db - for the sake of simplicity.

Note that the command below redirects all logs produced by the service to the file ~/tdex-logs/ocean.logs.txt, therefore make sure to create the folder tdex-logs in your home directory, or change it if you need.

$ OCEAN_LOG_LEVEL=5 \  OCEAN_NO_TLS=true \   OCEAN_NO_PROFILER=true \  OCEAN_ELECTRUM_URL=ssl://blockstream.info:465 \  OCEAN_NETWORK=testnet \  OCEAN_UTXO_EXPIRY_DURATION_IN_SECONDS=240 \   OCEAN_DB_TYPE=badger \  oceand &> ~/tdex-logs/oceand.logs.txt &

The default path for the Ocean wallet's datadir is ~/.oceand for Linux and ~/Library/Application\ Support/Oceand for MacOS but you can change it by exporting the env var OCEAN_DATADIR=path/to/datadir if you need.

You can easily inspect the logs produced by the service at anytime by running more ~/tdex-logs/oceand.logs.txt.

Now that the wallet is running, let's start the tdex provider:

$ TDEX_WALLET_ADDR=localhost:18000 \  TDEX_LOG_LEVEL=5 \  TDEX_NO_OPERATOR_TLS=true \  TDEX_CONNECT_PROTO=http \  tdexd &> ~/tdex-logs/tdexd.logs.txt &

The daemon's datadir path defaults to ~/.tdex-daemon for Linux and ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tdex-daemon for MacOS but you can change it by exporting the env var TDEX_DATADIR=path/to/datadir if you need.

The commands above, similarly to the one for starting the wallet, redirects all logs to a file so you can conveniently check the logs of the service at anytime with more ~/tdex-logs/tdexd.logs.txt.

If you followed the tutorial until this point, you've successfully started your proivider!

What's next? You can get some insights about the daemon's configuration, or you can take a look at how to configure the CLI to setup your markets, deposit and withdraw funds and even more cool stuff.

tip

Think about configuring your host so that it keeps these service always up&running with the help of systemd or some similar tool.
