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.

How to install Sui node

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

  1. Install the panel and host agent using the documentation, then register the server in the panel.
  2. In Add node, select Sui 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 Sui full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then choose Sui and an environment in Add node. Toolkit provisions sui-node and tracks sync from the panel.
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.
