Drosera CLI Node Guide

🌿 Drosera CLI Node Guide

Earn $DORA Tokens Before Mainnet

Drosera Network empowers decentralized observability and rewards operators for running "Traps" that monitor smart contract behavior. This guide walks you through setting up your own Drosera Operator Node to earn DORA tokens before mainnet launch.

📋 System Requirements

To run a Drosera Node efficiently, ensure your VPS meets the following specifications:

  • CPU: 2 Cores

  • RAM: 4 GB

  • Disk Space: 20 GB

  • OS: Ubuntu 20.04 or higher recommended

🛠️ Step 1: Install Prerequisites

🔄 Update Your System

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && \
sudo apt autoremove

📟 Open a Screen Session

screen -S Drosera

🔐 Configure Firewall

sudo ufw allow ssh && \
sudo ufw allow 22 && \
sudo ufw enable && \
sudo ufw allow 31313/tcp && \
sudo ufw allow 31314/tcp && \
sudo ufw reload

🐳 Install Docker (Skip if already installed)

sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common && \
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg && \
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null && \
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && \
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin && \
sudo systemctl status docker

🧠 Step 2: Install & Setup Drosera Trap

🚀 Install Drosera CLI

curl -L https://app.drosera.io/install | bash && \
source ~/.bashrc && \
droseraup

⚙️ Install Foundry CLI

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash && \
source ~/.bashrc && \
foundryup

🧵 Install Bun

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

🏗️ Step 3: Deploy Your Trap

📁 Initialize Project

mkdir my-drosera-trap && cd my-drosera-trap
git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"
git config --global user.name "YourGithubUsername"

Replace with your actual GitHub email and username.

⚒️ Scaffold & Build

forge init -t drosera-network/trap-foundry-template
bun install
forge build

⚠️ Warnings during forge build are safe to ignore.

🚀 Deploy Trap

DROSERA_PRIVATE_KEY=yourEVMPrivateKey drosera apply

Replace yourEVMPrivateKey (without 0x) and ensure your wallet has ETH on Holesky testnet.

✅ Check Your Trap

💥 Boost Your Trap

Click "Send Bloom Boost", stake any amount of ETH, and confirm the transaction in Metamask.

⛓️ Fetch Some Blocks

drosera dryrun

🔐 Step 4: Whitelist Your Address

Edit drosera.toml:

cd $HOME/my-drosera-trap
sudo sed -i 's/^private_trap *= *.*/private_trap = true/' drosera.toml
sudo sed -i 's/^whitelist *= *\[\s*\]/whitelist = ["YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS"]/' drosera.toml

Replace YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS with your actual wallet address.

🔄 Reapply Configuration

DROSERA_PRIVATE_KEY=yourEVMPrivateKey drosera apply

⚙️ Step 5: Install Drosera Operator CLI

📦 Download Binary

cd $HOME
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/drosera-network/releases/releases/latest | \
grep -Po '"tag_name": "\K.*?(?=")' | \
xargs -I {} wget https://github.com/drosera-network/releases/releases/download/{}/drosera-operator-{}-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

tar -xvf drosera-operator-*-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

🧪 Test & Install CLI

./drosera-operator --version
sudo cp drosera-operator /usr/bin
drosera-operator

🐳 Step 6: Register Operator with Docker

Pull Operator Image

docker pull ghcr.io/drosera-network/drosera-operator:latest

Register Your Operator

drosera-operator register --eth-rpc-url https://ethereum-holesky-rpc.publicnode.com --eth-private-key yourEVMPrivateKey

Replace yourEVMPrivateKey without the 0x prefix.

🚀 Step 7: Run the Drosera Operator

📥 Clone & Configure

git clone https://github.com/0xmoei/Drosera-Network && \
cd Drosera-Network && \
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

sudo sed -i 's/^ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=.*/ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=yourEVMPrivateKey/' .env
sudo sed -i 's/^\(VPS_IP=\)your_vps_public_ip/\1your.actual.vps.ip/' .env

🔄 Start Operator

docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f

🔗 Step 8: Connect to Drosera Dashboard

✅ You’re live if the green square is shown under “Operator Status”.

🛠️ Node Management Commands

Action
Command

Stop Node

cd ~/Drosera-Network && docker compose down -v

Restart Node

cd ~/Drosera-Network && docker restart drosera
