Building two Civitas Master Nodes on one server.
If you only want one Masternode on your server follow this guide: Here

1. Get a VPS from a provider like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, etc. (only tested on Vultr)
   • Recommended VPS size at least 1gb RAM
   • It must be Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)
   • It must have two IP addresses. (make sure to enable IPv6 when setting up the droplet)
2. Make sure you have a transaction of exactly 10000 CIV in your desktop cold wallet.

1. Open your wallet on your desktop.

   Click Settings -> Options -> Wallet

   Check "Enable coin control features"

   Check "Show Masternodes Tab"

   Press Ok (you will need to restart the wallet)

   

2. Go to the "Tools" -> "Debug console"

3. Run the following command: masternode genkey

4. You should see a long key that looks like:

3HaYBVUCYjEMeeH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg

5. This is your private key, keep it safe, do not share with anyone.

1. Log into your VPS
   • Windows users follow this guide to log into your VPS.
2. Copy/paste these commands into the VPS and hit enter: (One Box At A Time)

./configure --without-gui

make install

cd src

strip civitasd
strip civitas-cli
strip civitas-tx

cp civitasd /usr/bin
cp civitas-cli /usr/bin
cp civitas-tx /usr/bin

cd

Take a snapshot if you want at this point (can be used on a second droplet)

Add the first masternode user and set the password for that user

useradd -m -s /bin/bash civitasmn01

passwd civitasmn01

mkdir -p .civitas

Reboot the VPS machine and log in as civitasmn01

civitasd

Copy rpcpassword to use in the conf file

nano /home/civitasmn01/.civitas/civitas.conf

Replace:

1. rpcpassword=WITH_THE_ONE_YOU_COPIED
2. externalip=VPS_IP_ADDRESS
3. masternodeprivkey=WALLET_GENKEY

With your info!

rpcuser=civitasrpc
rpcpassword=passhf95uiygr5308h08r3h0249fbgh7389h973
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=18900
listen=1
server=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
daemon=1
bind=VPS_IP_ADDRESS
externalip=VPS_IP_ADDRESS
masternodeaddr=VPS_IP_ADDRESS:18843
masternodeprivkey=WALLET_GENKEY
masternode=1

CTRL X to save it. Y for yes, then ENTER.

civitasd

Wait for the blockchain to sync (check with "watch civitas-cli getinfo").

While waiting for the blockchain to sync, go down to "Cold Wallet Setup Part 2" and complete that before proceeding.

Open the Debug Console in your cold wallet.

startmasternode alias false mnXX(mn01)

Go back to your terminal and run:

civitas-cli masternode status

This should return : "Masternode successfully started" if everything worked (might take a couple of minutes)

Log in as root Create a second user and add a password:

useradd -m -s /bin/bash civitasmn02

passwd civitasmn02

cp -R /home/civitasmn01/.civitas /home/civitasmn02/.civitas

chown -R civitasmn02:civitasmn02 /home/civitasmn02

Exit, then log in as civitasmn02

nano /home/civitasmn02/.civitas/civitas.conf

Replace:

1. rpcpassword=MAKE_SOME_CHANGES_TO_THE_CURRENT_ONE
2. externalip=VPS_IP_ADDRESS
3. masternodeprivkey=WALLET_GENKEY

With your info!

rpcuser=civitasrpc
rpcpassword=passhf95uiygr5308h08r3h0249fbgh7389h973
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=18901
listen=1
server=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
daemon=1
bind=[VPS_IP_ADDRESS]
externalip=[VPS_IP_ADDRESS]
masternodeaddr=[VPS_IP_ADDRESS]:18843
masternodeprivkey=WALLET_GENKEY
masternode=1

Remember to use a second IP for this config file, and make sure to use [ ] around your IP if you are using IPv6.

CTRL X to save it. Y for yes, then ENTER.

civitasd

Wait for the blockchain to sync (check with "civitas-cli getinfo").

While waiting for the blockchain to sync, go down to "Cold Wallet Setup Part 2" and complete that before proceeding.

Open the Debug Console in your cold wallet.

startmasternode alias false mnXX(mn02)

Go back to your terminal and run:

civitas-cli masternode status

This should return : "Masternode successfully started" if everything worked (might take a couple of minutes)

1. On your local machine open your masternode.conf file. Depending on your operating system you will find it in:

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Civitas\
   • Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Civitas/
   • Unix/Linux: ~/.civitas/

   Leave the file open

2. Go to "Tools" -> "Debug console"

3. Run the following command: masternode outputs

4. You should see output like the following if you have a transaction with exactly 10000 Civitas:

{
    "12345678xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx": "0"
}

5. The value on the left is your txid and the right is the vout
6. Add a line to the bottom of the already opened masternode.conf file using the IP of your VPS (with port 18843), private key, txid and vout:

mn01 1.2.3.4:18843 3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 12345678xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 

7. Save the file, exit your wallet and reopen your wallet.
8. Go to the "Masternodes" tab
9. Click "Start All"

• civitas-cli stop (Stops the masternode)
• civitas-cli getinfo (Returns info about version, connections, blocks, etc)
• civitas-cli masternode status (Prints Masternode status)
• civitasd -resync (forces the blockchain to resync, use Civitas-cli stop first)
