Stellar full node

Self-host Stellar-core and stellar-rpc with full history retention — not the default week-long window.

Install ToolkitOfficial docs

Client

stellar-core + stellar-rpc

RPC

stellar-rpc (getHealth, getLatestLedger)

History

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

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.

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 → Stellar → mainnet.
  3. Confirm ports, choose install options if this chain has them, install stellar-core + stellar-rpc, 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 Stellar full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then Add node → Stellar. Toolkit provisions stellar-core + stellar-rpc.
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.
