Static port

For a storage deal, you may want to set a static port and open it in your firewall to ensure clients can connect to you.

Lotus binds to a random swarm port by default.

Setup

To change the random swarm port, you may edit the config.toml file located under $LOTUS_PATH. The default location of this file is $HOME/.lotus.

Here is an example of changing the port to 1347.

[Libp2p]
  ListenAddresses = ["/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/1347", "/ip6/::/tcp/1347"]

Once you update config.toml, restart your daemon.

Open firewall manually

# ufw allow 1347/tcp

Or open and modify the profile located at /etc/ufw/applications.d/lotus-daemon

[Lotus Daemon]
title=Lotus Daemon
description=Lotus Daemon firewall rules
ports=1347/tcp

Then run the following commands

$ ufw update lotus-daemon
$ ufw allow lotus-daemon
