Nodevin allows anyone to run blockchain nodes effortlessly. It simplifies the process of setting up and managing nodes for various blockchains, ensuring they are always up-to-date with the latest software versions. With Nodevin, you can run nodes for Bitcoin, Litecoin, and IPFS with ease.
Our goal is to facilitate blockchain node standup and maintenance for every chain in the world.
- Easy Setup: Quickly set up blockchain nodes with a single command.
- Automatic Updates: Nodevin ensures your nodes are always running the latest software versions.
- Maximum Customization: Set unique ports, data storage, networking, images, or even run multiple nodes at once.
- Cross-Platform Support: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Stand up a blockchain node in three steps.
- Download Nodevin:
Download the latest version of Nodevin from the releases page.
- Initialize Nodevin and Docker:
nodevin initFor more information setting up Nodevin on Windows, read these docs.
- Start a Blockchain Node:
Once Nodevin is initialized, you can start a blockchain node. For example, to start a Bitcoin node, run:
nodevin start bitcoinNodevin stores blockchain data by default in $HOME/.nodevin.
Nodevin allows for full customization in node startup. View the full list of flags and configuration details, including .env file setup here. For example, this command runs a Bitcoin Testnet node with a specified command, docker image and tag (version), unique nodevin data directory, and more:
nodevin start bitcoin \
--ord \
--command="--rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0 -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pass" \
--testnet \
--image=fiftysix/bitcoin-core \
--version=27.0 \
--ports="8332:8332,8333:8333,18332:18332,18333:18333" \
--data-dir="~/Desktop" \
--restart=always \
--cpu-limit=2.0 \
--mem-limit=1g \
--cpu-reservation=1.0 \
--mem-reservation=512mAfter downloading Nodevin, you may need to set executable permissions and move it to a directory in $PATH.
chmod +x nodevin
sudo mv nodevin /usr/local/bin/Continue to learn about Nodevin:

NOTE: Snapshot Synchronization is currently disabled.
Data snapshots are compressed archives of the state of a blockchain node. Using snapshot synchronization greatly speeds up the process of catching up with the network, as the node starts from downloaded data rather than trying to synchronize from the beginning of the blockchain. Running this command will use snapshot synchronization when starting up your node.
nodevin start litecoin --snapshot-sync
Snapshot synchronization can save up to days of node initialization.
Adding your blockchain data to Nodevin requires a small one-time grant. For more information, reach out to us at business@nodevin.xyz.
Nodevin pulls images by default from Docker Hub, with code located here. The node image respository contains helpful resources including blockchain requirements and synchronization times, Docker installation steps, Docker compose files with documentation, and more.
