How to install Ethereum full node

Ethereum needs an execution client and a consensus client. Toolkit provisions Geth and Lighthouse together, with snap sync on Geth and checkpoint sync on Lighthouse so the node is usable without weeks of guesswork.

Environments follow the product catalog: mainnet, Sepolia, and Hoodi. The panel shows honest sync from eth_syncing and the beacon — not a green badge while history is still incomplete.

How to install Ethereum node

Choose mainnet, sepolia, hoodi in Toolkit, then follow these steps to provision and run a Ethereum full node.

1. Install the panel and host agent using the documentation, then register the server in the panel.
2. In Add node, select Ethereum and the required environment.
3. Review the network options, start provisioning, and follow sync status and logs from 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 install Ethereum full node?

Install the host agent, add the server, then choose Ethereum and an environment in Add node. Toolkit provisions Geth (execution) + Lighthouse (consensus) and tracks sync from the panel.

Can I change the Ethereum 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?

Archive / unpruned EL+CL. Synced only when both layers agree and history proof is complete.
