Deploying a Goerli Proof-of-Authority cross-client test network node. Goerli Testnet is the first proof-of-authority cross-client testnet, synching Parity Ethereum, Geth, Nethermind, Hyperledger Besu (formerly Pantheon), and EthereumJS. It is a community based project and open source. The testnet allows for blockchain development testing before deployment on Mainnet, the main Ethereum network.

These are general instructions to be used based on the system you use.
- You need a Unix system (Mac or Linux).
- Start your instance
- I used an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit, 1 CPU, 4GB memory, 40GB disk server from Kamatera - You get 30 days to experiment on a server.
- Install and update your server with the operating system, Node.js, and Geth (the client where Goerli is run):
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum -y && sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install ethereum -y && sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x -o nodesource_setup.sh && sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh && sudo apt install -y nodejs
- SSH into your server
- Clone the files to your server:
git clone https://github.com./images/testnet.git
- After everything is installed use this command to initialze Goerli’s Genesis block:
geth init ./testnet/geth/goerli.genesis
- Copy the boot nodes (the IP addresses of the peer nodes) to the geth data directory (no special message will show):
cp testnet/geth/static-nodes.json .ethereum
- Boot up your Goerli node:
nohup geth --networkid 6284 &
- This will continue to run in the background. 6284 is the network ID of Goerli so when running Geth we need to specify as the — goerli has not been merged to the Geth master yet.
- You will see a file called nohup.out, where it stores the log.
- Run this command to see the terminal output of Geth running the Goerli network:
tail -f nohup.out
-
After running the server I created for a month, this is its output, the server was definitely getting some traffic:
🔶 Summary
You are now one of the peers in the Goerli network!
