Migrate from Socotra Testnet to Juneo Mainnet

{% hint style="warning" %} CAUTION : Updating your node to mainnet will make your chains and supernets created on Socotra inaccessible. {% endhint %}

1. Stop your node

Depending on how you run your instance you should stop it, accordingly.

a. Running the node manually

Access the window where you are running the binary ./juneogo and stop it with Ctrl+c.

b. Running the node using the Install Script

As you run your Node as service you need to stop it with systemctl.

sudo systemctl stop juneogo

c. Running with juneogo-docker

You can stop your docker with the following:

1) Go to juneogo-docker

2) Run docker-compose down

2. Backup your node

{% hint style="danger" %} Carefully backup your Node if you participated to incentivised testnet! Otherwise you can loose your allocation. ( You only need to backup the Node ID ) {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %} It's recommended to save your staking files in a different location than juneogo or juneogo-docker directory. {% endhint %}

Follow the guide node-backup-and-restore.md and if you have any issues or question reach us on the Official Discord.

3. Update binaries

{% hint style="danger" %} DANGER : Be sure to backup your node BEFORE doing the next steps. {% endhint %}

a. Running the node manually

Go to the github juneogo-binaries repository and download the latest version of these files:

- juneogo
- jevm

Connect to your server through a SFTP agent and copy paste the new files.

To grant execution permissions of the binary files, please execute the following commands:

chmod +x ~/YOUR-PATH/juneogo
chmod +x ~/YOUR-PATH/plugins/jevm

b. Running the node using the Install Script

{% hint style="danger" %} Use only this command if you have followed our Install Script {% endhint %}

Use the following command on your server :

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Juneo-io/juneogo-binaries/main/update.sh)

{% endcode %}

c. Running with juneogo-docker

Go to the Juneogo directory: juneogo-docker and run these commands:

git checkout origin/main ./juneogo/juneogo
git checkout origin/main ./juneogo/.juneogo/plugins/jevm

{% hint style="info" %} If it doesn't work you can try to run git stash or to clone it again by following Set up steps. {% endhint %}

4. Restart your node

By running your node as usual you will now bootsrap the Mainnet.

You can check that your node is bootsrapped through the regular curl request.
