Using a Docker Container

Before continuing, please make sure you have setup a Stash and Controller address, as mentioned in the Account Setup section.
Sync Chain Data
Ensure Docker is installed (or install it in your OS of choice) and run the creditcoin-node Docker image.
Docker should automatically pull the specified gluwa/creditcoin image. If not, you can try pulling it yourself from DockerHub by running docker pull gluwa/creditcoin:2.230.1-mainnet and then re-running the command below.

In the command above, notice the -v flag that takes a local directory as the first part of the parameter. It's import that docker has the ability to write to this directory, otherwise you will see errors such as Error: Service(Client(Backend("IO Error: Permission denied (os error 13)"))). Your command will likely use a path similar to -v /home/validator/data:/creditcoin-node/data.
Here is an example command to run a validator that connects to the Creditcoin Testnet:
docker run \
-p 30333:30333 \
-v ~/chain_data:/data \
gluwa/creditcoin:2.223.0-testnet \
--bootnodes "/dns4/testnet-bootnode.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWG3eEuYxo37LvU1g6SSESu4i9TQ8FrZmJcjvdys7eA3cH" "/dns4/testnet-bootnode2.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWLq7wCMQS3qVMCNJ2Zm6rYuYh74cM99i9Tm8PMdqJPDzb" "/dns4/testnet-bootnode3.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWAKUrvmchoLomoouoN1sKfF9kq8dYtCVFvtPuvqp7wFBS" \
--chain test \

--base-path /data \
