We have released Evernode host software updates containing significant improvements. Here are the noteworthy features so you can test them out:

Enforcing mandatory domain name requirement: Existing hosts are not affected. New hosts must have a domain name before installation. This enables better SSL support for contracts.
Let's Encrypt free SSL integration: By default, the installer will setup Let's Encrypt free SSL and automatic renewals.
Ability to reconfigure your installation: You can now adjust hardware resource allocation and some other parameters anytime. Use evernode config command.
XRPL regular key support: You can now use regular keys (instead of master keys) for your host account if you wish.
Host/Account transfer: Now you have the ability to transfer your Evernode registration to a different host or account (you can transfer to same host/account as well). This is useful if you want to upgrade your hardware or want to move to a new host. New installation (transferee) does not require to pay registration fee. See evernode transfer command.
Setup user experience improvements: Better validations and error messages during the setup process.

New reading material:

Please try these features out and let us know your feedback via issues.

Thank you.

Can you turn off LetsEncrypt before installing?

ravinsp · 2023-01-06T01:14:21Z

@rippleitinnz you can, but then you have to supply your own SSL certs.

kithminisg · 2023-01-30T08:01:21Z

We have realized some of our hosts are facing issues with Evernode v.5.20 release. There was a bug in that release, which crashed the update process and evernode. Hence, you can check this comment (#72 (comment)) and if you have the same issue please follow the necessary steps to recover your host.

Also, we have added special notices for the following host accounts in the Evernode dashboard regarding that issue.

Hello everyone,

Getting Ready For Launch

We are thrilled to announce that we will soon be relaunching Evernode beta on Hooks V3 testnet. This is the version of the testnet that matches the sidechain announced by XRPL Labs. (https://hooks-testnet-v3.xrpl-labs.com).

So, this switch to v3 is the first step to being ready to launch on their sidechain when it goes live(!)

Timing

We anticipate being ready for the switch within the next 7 days. We will provide another update once the new beta is ready for you to register. At that time, you can uninstall your current Evernode installation and install the new beta. Prior to it, we will also be disabling new registrations on the old (Hooks V2) beta registrations.

Switching from V2 to V3

To switch to v3, you will need to install a fresh copy of Evernode on your hosts. Please note that there are a few new system requirements that you must meet before joining the new platform. These are here: https://github.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-host#system-requirements.

Getting Ready to Switch

In order to help future airdrop distribution, we request that you preserve your existing beta host address/secret by safely keeping a copy of following files:

/etc/sashimono/mb-xrpl/mb-xrpl.cfg
/etc/sashimono/mb-xrpl/secret.cfg (requires 'sudo' access)

This way you will be able to prove you ran a host on V2.

Next Steps

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to your participation in the beta testing.

The Evernode Team

Hi everyone,

Time to Move to V3!

As we announced last week, Evernode is ready to switch its beta to the Hooks V3 test net. This is the "feature complete" version that will launch when the XRPL Labs announced Hooks side chain is also launched (date unknown). It's important we test it in as close to a live environment as possible for as long as possible.

V2 Installation Is Deprecated

As from now, Evernode network on Hooks V2 is now disabled and we will no longer support it or provide updates. Also, the Evernode dashboard now references the V3 network. Please make sure to move your host to V3 network as soon as possible.

Backup Your V2 Secret

As we mentioned, if you previously ran a host, please backup your existing beta host address/secret and uninstall your current Evernode beta installation, which is on Hooks V2. Then, install the Evernode beta using the installation guide that we have provided.

New Features and Enhancements:

Interactive Updates: We've disabled the auto-update host feature to provide a more interactive and failure-resistant update experience.
Improved Installation: Enjoy enhanced retry logic during installation, providing you with the ability to retry, abort, or rollback transactions.

Direct Host Deregistration: Introducing a new command for deregistering hosts directly, streamlining the process without the need for installation.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s deregister

Configurable Transaction Fees: Set maximum transaction fees during installation or configure them via CLI for optimal network performance.
```
evernode config extrafee <max trx fee>
```
Fallback Xahaud Support: Ensure uninterrupted connections with fallback Xahaud servers, both during installation and through CLI configuration.
```
evernode config xahaud-fallback <server url>
```
Please refer to the Evernode documentation for more details about the updated features.

Updated Rules:

Reputation Management: Host reputation now dynamically adjusts based on specified guidelines, ensuring fairness and reliability within the Evernode network.
Reward Eligibility: Hosts with a reputation of 0 are not eligible for rewards in upcoming moments, incentivizing adherence to network standards.
Accumulated Reward Distribution: Accumulated rewards are distributed relative to host registration time. Rewards are distributed every 24-moment window after registration.

Important Note:

Your reputation will be set to 0 based on:
- Instance Count
  - Once version 0.8.2 is rolled out, If your host has a capacity of less than 3 instances.
- Sanctioned Entities
  - Once version 0.8.2 is rolled out, You won't be able to update your host or install a new host if your machine is from one of the Sanctioned Entities mentioned in Evernode license
- Lease Amount
  - Once version 0.8.2 is rolled out, If your lease fee is more than (reward distribution for the moment / host count) * 110%.
- Version Upgrade
  - If you haven't updated to version 0.8.2 within one week
Refer here for more info about the reputation.

How to Install/Update:

Update Existing Hosts: Execute the provided command for updating existing hosts. Note: The evernode update command will not fetch the latest version.
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s update

Hello Everyone,

We are pleased to announce the launch of Evernode v0.8.3. This update includes new features and improvements. Below are the highlights of what's new:

New Features and Enhancements:

Initial test version of Evernode Reputation for Future Rewards.

Existing hosts can enroll/unenroll in the Reputation Assessment service via the following command.
```
 evernode reputationd <opt-in/opt-out>	
```
In order to view the status and information of the Reputation Assessment, use the following command.
```
  evernode reputationd status
```

NOTE: If you're attempting a fresh installation, it will prompt you to configure and enroll in the Reputation Assessment process during setup.

Setting Up:

Hosts need to maintain a separate Xahau account for the Reputation Assessment.
For this, a new account for reputation is generated and prepared in opt-in process, You'll have to fund the account as you go the same way you did for host account in installation.
Deposits of both XAH and EVR are required.
- XAH covers transaction fees.
- EVR covers the hourly self-HotPocket instance acquisition for running the Evernode Reputation Contract.
- Hence, the EVR amount may vary depending on the instance's per-moment price.
- Initially, hosts have to deposit funds sufficient for three months.
Note: In this test phase, reputation scores will be kept separately and won't be integrated to the host reputation score which is currently in place.
Kindly back up this account secret as well, as the host registration account secret, to ensure they're safeguarded in case of any issues with the host machine.

Process:

Each enrolled host is assigned hourly to a cluster of 64 hosts called UNIVERSE for this assessment.
This 64-node cluster should collectively run the Evernode Reputation Contract.
The scores are determined based on the execution of the Reputation Contract within the universe of 64 hosts.
An hourly Evernode hook invocation occurs to register for the next moment's reputation assessment and to acknowledge scores for the current moment.
Scores obtained during this assessment are used to calculate the reputation for the current moment.

NOTE: This Reputationd is an isolated process that won't affect other functionalities of your host. It will continually test your instance's disk, memory, and CPU intensiveness by running reputation contracts.

New Hook has for Reputation Management:

A Separate Hook account is introduced to manage the reputation assessment of hosts. Now, in total, there are four hooks.

Refer here for more info about the current reputation.

NOTE : The reputation assessment isn't fully integrated with Evernode Rewards yet. Depending on the success of this launch, we'll proceed with the integration.

Given WRITE Access to the Contract Directory.

Sashimono provides GROUP WRITE access to the Contract Directory within the rootless Docker container. As a result, the contract user can modify the contents of that directory.

Allow Customized Docker Images.

Developers are able to create their own Docker images based on the Sashimono Docker images found at the provided link. Hence, they can customize the Docker containers according to their requirements. In the instance creation, developers have the option to specify the Customized Docker image they have created.

How to Install/Update:

Update Existing Hosts: Execute the provided command for updating existing hosts. Note: The evernode update command will not fetch the latest version.
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s update
```

Fresh Installation: Install Evernode afresh using the provided command for a seamless setup process.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s install

Diagnostics: If you face any issues along the process, please refer to Diagnostics section. If it doesn't solve your problem open an issue here with supporting log files.

Upgrade to Evernode v0.8.3 and experience the new features!

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to ensuring Evernode's success.

chalith · 2024-06-24T07:51:25Z

Hello Everyone,

We are excited to announce the latest release of the Sashimono Update, version 0.9.0!

Here are the details:

This Update Includes:

Ability to specify a single reputation account, used as a delegate for the reputation assessment process of multiple hosts.
- If you do not have a Xahau account to provide, you can create a new one or specify an existing account for the reputation assessment process.
- Based on user consent during the opt-in phase, users can choose to either have a unique account for each host or maintain a Single delegate for multiple hosts.
- For those who choose the single delegate for multiple hosts approach, a separate Xahau Hook will be integrated into the provided reputation account to manage the details of multiple hosts attached to that account.
- It is important to note that this Delegate Account has the authority over the existence of the attached hosts, meaning it can also initiate de-registration on behalf of the host account.
- Initially, the host must deposit a sufficient XAH balance to set up the reputation account.
- In order to register for the reputation assessment and execute the reputation contract continuously, the host should ensure that there is a sufficient amount of EVRs funded into the reputation account for each instance acquisition.
Ability to specify general-purpose ports for the HotPocket instances apart from the User Port and Peer Port.
- Two general-purpose TCP ports and two general-purpose UDP ports can be configured to an instance. If the user does not specify a value, the default ports will be as follows:
  - General Purpose TCP starting port number: 36525
  - General Purpose UDP starting port number: 39064
- A total of six ports can be configured for a particular HotPocket instance after this release.
- The instance creation results will display the configured general-purpose ports, along with other instance details.
Enhancements related to the management of lease URI tokens on the Message Board side.

Special Notes:

The proper execution of the reputation contract can be observed once the majority has adopted the latest update.
The reputation assessment is currently not fully integrated into the final reputation score, so your rewards remain unaffected.
Remember to secure your reputation account just like your registration account by backing up secrets, ensuring recovery in case of any failures.

Action Required:

Please follow the instructions below to help us ensure a smooth update.
- For Fresh Installations
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s install
```
- For Updates
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s update
```
  - If you have already opted in, Execute evernode reputationd opt-in to change your reputation account setup after the update. Otherwise, the update will default your existing reputation configuration as one-to-one.

kithminisg · 2024-07-08T05:34:32Z

Hello Everyone,

This is to announce the release of the Sashimono patch update v0.9.1!

This patch addresses the observed issue in lease re-creation upon lease expiry in Evernode, which has led to some nodes becoming inactive. Some hosts had to manually execute the evernode offerlease command from time to time to make their leases available.

IMPORTANT:

Ensure you are on version v0.9.0 before applying this patch. If you are currently on v0.8.3, update to v0.9.0 first, then apply this patch.
Start by updating the Hosts that have frequent lease offer issues. After confirming success, proceed to update the other Hosts.

Steps:

Message Board bundle update:

Run the following command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/patch-v0.9.1/sashimono/patches/update-message-board.sh | sudo bash -s

ReputationD bundle update:

Run the following command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/patch-v0.9.1/sashimono/patches/update-reputationd.sh | sudo bash -s

Sashimono Agent binary update:

Run the following command:

 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/patch-v0.9.1/sashimono/patches/update-sashimono.sh | sudo bash -s

NOTE:

If you notice any lease count mismatches in evernode status after updating (e.g., "Available Lease offers: 6 out of 4"), you can fix this by changing the count using the re-configuring command:

evernode config resources 0 0 0 5

or

evernode config resources 0 0 0 3

If you have running instances, you might need to delete them first if you are modifying the instance count.

If you experience any problems during the patch update, please report them in the issues section.

Your continued support and feedback mean a lot to us as we work to improve our product.

Warm regards,

chalith · 2024-07-22T08:23:00Z

Hello Everyone,

We are excited to announce that the latest version of Sashimono, version v0.10.0, will be available on Wednesday!

Here are the details:

This Update Includes:

Reputation Logic Updates
- Resource Evaluation
  - Hosts are assigned to 64-node clusters randomly.
  - Each host calculates a POW and shares it with other peers.
  - Each host evaluates others' POW and marks 1/0 based on correctness.
- General Purpose Port Evaluation
  - Within the 64-node universe, hosts form random 4-node sub-universes within 5 HotPocket ledger intervals.
  - Each host tries to connect to others' General Purpose ports and gives a mark of 0-4 (for 4 ports) for successful connections.
- Scores Calculation
  - Scores are averaged based on try/success rate.
  - Weighting is 75% for resource scores and 25% for port scores.
- Faulty Reputation Execution
  - Hosts are reported as having faulty reputation execution if they haven't created the minimum ledgers required (20% of closed ledgers in the cluster).
  - The universe is considered faulty if the minimum required number of hosts haven't reported scores (80% of the number of hosts in the universe).
- Reputation Hook Side
  - The scoreNumerator and scoreDenominator fields are reset every moment. At each reset, the final score is determined by averaging the previous score and the current score.
Changes in evernode reputationd status Command
- Four new properties are added:
  - score: Averaged score of the last moment.
  - lastResetMoment: The moment when scoreNumerator and scoreDenominator were last reset to 0.
  - lastScoredMoment: The moment when the score was last calculated.
  - lastUniverseSize: Size of the universe to which scoreNumerator and scoreDenominator belong.
  - valid: true if the current score is calculated within the last two moments.
Pull Instance Docker Image Only If Updated
- Download the docker image locally and use it when creating instances. Update the local image only if it has been updated.
Automatic Lease Creation in Background
- Sashimono detects unoffered leases and creates lease offers automatically.
- Hosts don't need to execute the evernode offerlease command manually.
Changes in evernode status Command
- You can now see Host reputation value and Accumulated rewards in the status response.

Special Notes:

Reputation scoring version will be checked in the hook, and only scores from version v0.10.0 will be accepted; others will be rejected.
- If the score is rejected, the host won't be eligible for reputation assessment in the next moment.
Reputation hook invoke fee is lifted from 13439 drops to 18432 drops.
Reputation score is a combination of both resource and port evaluations.
The reputation assessment is currently not fully integrated into the final reputation score, so your rewards remain unaffected.
- The valid flag and score seen in evernode reputationd status are considered when the reputation assessment is included in the final host reputation for rewards.

The issues observed in this release will be fixed as patches. Until all issues are fixed and stable, this version won't affect your rewards. If you experience any problems during this update or while maintaining your host in version v0.10.0, please report them in the issues section or send a direct message to Geveo on Discord.

Please wait for the next announcement for instructions on how to update/install v0.10.0.

We appreciate your support and feedback, which help us improve our product.

Hello Everyone,

This is to announce the release of the Sashimono patch update v0.10.1!

This patch addresses the observed issue in Evernode Reputation Service, which has led to hosts' reputation scores being miscalculated.

Hi All,

We are excited to announce that we have increased the reputation resource requirement threshold to 80% of the minimum resource requirement. From this point onward, reputation evaluations will consider these updated requirements.

If you notice any issues or lower scores on your host, please ensure that your host meets the minimum requirements, which are as follows:

Per Instance Minimum Requirements:

Storage: 1 GB
Memory: 512 MB (RAM + Swap)
CPU: 1 core can serve up to 3 instances

To check your per instance resources:

Run evernode config resources to see the configured resources for all instances.
Divide the Memory (RAM + Swap) and Disk space by the number of instances.
Ensure the resulting per-instance resources are greater than the above minimum requirements.

If you encounter any concerns, please refer to the Diagnostics section. If that doesn’t resolve your issue, please open an issue here or contact us via Discord Direct Messaging with the supporting log files. We greatly appreciate your support in making this successful.

Thank you,

The Evernode Team
