Setting up the node =================== A node in the Tezos network provides different configuration possibilities: - tune various parameters of the node using flexible combinations of: a configuration file, command-line options, and environment variables - specify the Tezos network to connect to, which can be the Mainnet or different test networks. - configure the amount of history kept by the node according to different tradeoffs, using history modes - rapidly catch up with a given (main or test) network by loading network snapshots - set up one or several proxy servers to decrease the load of the node by serving some RPC requests themselves - set up infrastructure for continuosly monitoring the node to help spotting operational or efficiency issues These possibilities are described in the following pages. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 node-configuration .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 multinetwork .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 history_modes .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 snapshots .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 proxy-server .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 node-monitoring
