pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"


sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = "$pruning"/" $HOME/.axoned/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = "$pruning_keep_recent"/" $HOME/.axoned/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = "$pruning_keep_every"/" $HOME/.axoned/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = "$pruning_interval"/" $HOME/.axoned/config/app.toml

  1. Set Custom Port
sed -i.bak -e "s%:1317%:${AXONE_PORT}317%g;
s%:8080%:${AXONE_PORT}080%g;
s%:9090%:${AXONE_PORT}090%g;

s%:6060%:${AXONE_PORT}060%g;
s%:26656%:${AXONE_PORT}656%g;
s%^external_address = \"\"%external_address = \"$(wget -qO- eth0.me):${AXONE_PORT}656\"%;
s%:26660%:${AXONE_PORT}660%g" $HOME/.axoned/config/config.toml

  1. Create Systemd Service
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/axoned.service > /dev/null <<EOF
