History

Snapshot plus synced version to the network tip.

Aptos RPC is aptos-node. Toolkit pins the catalog release, keeps storage pruners off (full history), then waits until the synced version matches the network.

Mainnet and testnet. Same Add node path as every other chain — no SSH “install the binary yourself”.

Install

  1. On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
    bash
    curl -fsSL "https://toolkit.rpcnode.dev/install/agent.sh" | sudo bash
    Supported and recommended: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (amd64 or arm64). Other operating systems have not been tested.
  2. Panel → Add server (Agent URL + token) → Add node → Aptos → mainnet.
  3. Confirm ports, choose install options if this chain has them, install aptos-node, snapshot if required, start. Watch sync on the node page.

Operate from the panel

After the node is up you manage it in the same UI — Node Config (edit the live files and apply), client updates, restart, logs, public RPC. You do not need SSH to change conf. Install-time choices (snapshot flavor, history window, disk layout) are stored on that node.

FAQ

How do I run a Aptos full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then Add node → Aptos. Toolkit provisions aptos-node.
Can I change the Aptos config later?
Yes. Node page → Node Config. Edit and apply; restart from the same page. A different snapshot or history flavor is an Install choice — changing it later usually means wipe and Add node again.
Pruned or light?
Snapshot plus synced version to the network tip.
