Service Management

Systemd Service

All translator instances run as systemd services:

# Service name
rpc-translator-138.service

# Management commands
systemctl status rpc-translator-138.service
systemctl restart rpc-translator-138.service
systemctl stop rpc-translator-138.service
systemctl start rpc-translator-138.service

Service Location

• Deployment Directory: /opt/rpc-translator-138
• Service File: /etc/systemd/system/rpc-translator-138.service
• Logs: journalctl -u rpc-translator-138.service

Verification

Health Checks

All services respond to health checks:

# Translator health
curl http://192.168.11.240:9545/health
curl http://192.168.11.241:9545/health
curl http://192.168.11.242:9545/health

# Supporting services
curl http://192.168.11.111:9000/upcheck  # Web3Signer
curl http://192.168.11.112:8200/v1/sys/health  # Vault

RPC Endpoints

All translator instances expose JSON-RPC endpoints:

• HTTP: http://<IP>:9545
• WebSocket: ws://<IP>:9546

Example RPC call:

curl -X POST http://192.168.11.240:9545 \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

---

SSH Access

SSH access is configured for all translator VMIDs:

• SSH Key: ~/.ssh/proxmox_translator
• Root Password: feeO4j9QwpuMgb6dMHi4T2etn (saved to /tmp/vmid-root-password.txt)

Access:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/proxmox_translator root@192.168.11.240
ssh -i ~/.ssh/proxmox_translator root@192.168.11.241
ssh -i ~/.ssh/proxmox_translator root@192.168.11.242

Next Steps

Production Readiness

1. Configure Wallet Allowlist

   • Add authorized wallet addresses to WALLET_ALLOWLIST in .env
   • Update Vault configuration if using dynamic allowlist

2. Configure Web3Signer Keys

   • Import signing keys to Web3Signer
   • Configure key management policies

3. Set Redis Password (Optional but Recommended)

   • Configure Redis password authentication
   • Update REDIS_PASSWORD in .env files

4. Monitor Services

   • Set up monitoring and alerting
   • Configure log aggregation
   • Set up health check endpoints

5. Load Balancing

   • Configure load balancer for translator endpoints
   • Set up DNS/hostname resolution
   • Configure SSL/TLS termination if needed

Troubleshooting

Service Not Starting

# Check service status
systemctl status rpc-translator-138.service

# Check logs
journalctl -u rpc-translator-138.service -n 50

# Check configuration
cd /opt/rpc-translator-138
cat .env

Connection Issues

# Test supporting services
curl http://192.168.11.111:9000/upcheck  # Web3Signer
redis-cli -h 192.168.11.110 ping  # Redis
curl http://192.168.11.112:8200/v1/sys/health  # Vault

# Test Besu connectivity
curl http://127.0.0.1:8545 -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

Nonce Issues

# Check Redis nonce locks
redis-cli -h 192.168.11.110
> KEYS rpc-translator:138:nonce:*
> GET rpc-translator:138:nonce:<address>
