Node Maintenance
Stopping the Node
To temporarily stop your validator node, select option 7 "Stop validator node" from the menu.
This will stop all containers but preserve your data.
You can start the node again using option 6.
Shutting Down the Node
Select option 8 "Shutdown validator node" from the menu to shut down your node.
This effectively does the same as stopping but is used when you want to emphasize a full shutdown.
Cleaning Up Node Data
Select option 9 "Cleanup validator node" from the menu to completely remove all node data.
â ī¸ WARNING: This will delete all blockchain data and you will need to sync from scratch again! This operation cannot be undone.
Your validator keys will be preserved, but all sync progress and blockchain data will be deleted.
After cleaning, you will need to reinitialize the node before starting it again.
