Sui full node

Self-host a Sui full node with the official snapshot and checkpoint sync from the Toolkit panel.

Client

sui-node

RPC

Sui JSON-RPC

History

Formal snapshot plus checkpoint catch-up.

Sui full nodes bootstrap from a formal snapshot, then follow checkpoints. Toolkit ships Snapshot ExtraSteps on day one and shows download percent from the log.

Mainnet and testnet. Synced requires snapshot plus a live checkpoint — not RPC-up alone.

Environments

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 → Suimainnet.
  3. Confirm ports, choose install options if this chain has them, install sui-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 Sui full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then Add node → Sui. Toolkit provisions sui-node.
Can I change the Sui 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?
Formal snapshot plus checkpoint catch-up.
