This guide provides instructions on setting up a Minato node using Docker, Docker Compose, and binary installation.

Minato Node Configuration Files

The following files are needed for the configuration of the Soneium Minato node.

Hardware requirement

We recommend using the i3.2xlarge AWS instance type or equivalent hardware. If you want to set it up as a public RPC, you will need to adjust node resources based on your traffic.

Docker installation

Prerequisites

Docker: Ensure Docker is installed on your system. You can install it by following the instructions here.
Docker Compose: Ensure Docker Compose is installed on your system. You can install it by following the instructions here.

Make sure you have the latest versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed.

Setup Instructions

Generate JWT Secret

Generate a JWT secret by running the following command:
```
openssl rand -hex 32 > jwt.txt
```
Rename Environment File

Rename sample.env to .env:
```
mv sample.env .env
```
Update Environment Variables

Open the .env file in a text editor and update the following variables:
```
L1_URL=https://sepolia-l1.url
L1_BEACON=https://sepolia-beacon-l1.url
P2P_ADVERTISE_IP=<Node Public IP>
```
In some node providers, you need to specify your node's public IP for op-geth. To do this, replace <your_node_public_ip> with your actual public IP in the --nat=extip:<your_node_public_ip> parameter within the docker-compose.yml file, specifically under the op-geth-minato service settings.

Recommendation: For faster synchronization, it's recommended to have the L1 node geographically close to the Minato node.
