How to install Stellar full node

A stock Stellar RPC node drops history after about seven days. RpcNode sets HISTORY_RETENTION_WINDOW to MaxUint32 on provision, start, and restart.

Synced means oldestLedger has caught the genesis window. Mainnet, testnet, and futurenet are in the catalog.

How to install Stellar node

Choose mainnet, testnet, futurenet in Toolkit, then follow these steps to provision and run a Stellar full node.

1. Install the panel and host agent using the documentation, then register the server in the panel.
2. In Add node, select Stellar 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 Stellar full node?

Install the host agent, add the server, then choose Stellar and an environment in Add node. Toolkit provisions stellar-core + stellar-rpc and tracks sync from the panel.

Can I change the Stellar 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?

HISTORY_RETENTION_WINDOW = MaxUint32. Never the stock ~7 day prune.
