# laconicd-full-node Instructions for deploying a laconicd full node along with steps to join testnet as a validator post genesis Minimum hardware requirements: - RAM: 8-16GB - Disk space: 200GB - CPU: 2 cores ## Clone the stack repo ``` $ laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-laconicd-stack ``` ## Clone required repositories ``` $ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stacks/laconicd-full-node setup-repositories ``` ## Build the fixturenet-eth containers ``` $ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stacks/laconicd-full-node build-containers ``` This should create several container images in the local image registry: * cerc/laconicd * ## Deploy the stack ``` $ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stacks/laconicd-full-node deploy up ``` ## Check status ## Join as testnet validator ## Clean up Stop all services running in the background: ```bash $ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stacks/laconicd-full-node deploy down ``` Clear volumes created by this stack:
