Putty Terminal
Popular SSH and Telnet Client
It's a free open-source terminal emulator. network file transfer application. It can also connect to a serial port. go and download if you don't know ask for help to YT.
save the setting its helpful to save your time. I wish before starting you should know some basic commands about docker.io
IP and Password
after login, you must enter with root and password it will be hidden so don't worry or you can use Shift+Insert commands to paste it here.
0key are you ready make sure you have the full time to monitor all process. make sure before starting you need to download some packages witness node related.
Basic Package
Docker installed apt install docker.io
wget installed apt install wget
lz4 installed apt install lz4
Get in the root user environment
If you have no space to download BIG DATA FILE, it is almost 232GB so you can download this to your server. For diskless space users, you could try the stream way to download and decompress backup data.
wget -c -qO- https://files.steem.fans/data/xxxxx.tar.lz4 | lz4 -d | tar x
xxxxx mean the latest file name, Like this ( wget -c qO https://files.steem.fans/data/steem_witness_20220803.tar.lz4
)
you can find the latest file at https://files.steem.fans/.
Its could take a long time so wait and check with after then check ls -sh
the update
Move data in Blockchain Folder
After downloading, unarchive it. You will get a folder named blockchain, it is necessary to move data that you compressed data
cd / steem-docker/data/witness_node_data_dir
Then do
du blockchain
wait and check data with these commands du -h blockchain
its take also big time to make sure you have a good WIFI connection after done check logs you have done it successfully or not.
if your logs working so it means you successfully move your date in the Blockchain folder.
How to Check Logs.
First, put commands and enter in steem container make sure you are doing right.
cd steem-docker
./run.sh logs
It takes big time to synchronize to match with current blocks.
you are fully attached to steemit now make sure you updated all requirements witnessed related.
one more important point needs to do

docker run -it --rm \ steemit/steem:0.23.x-mira \ /usr/local/steemd/bin/get_dev_key STM account name
you will receive signing keys and private keys Keep it save carefully You also can Generate keys via
One private key will use in updating in cofig.ini
