info

The 🎨 DAppNode setup utilizes 🐳 Docker under the hood, combining the flexibility of containers with a user-friendly GUI.

DAppNode Support

Currently, 🎨 DAppNode only supports Geth as execution client, further decreasing the Client Diversity of the LUKSO Network. If you're technically skilled, consider an alternative setup using the LUKSO CLI or Docker.

tip

None of the setups does restrict modification of the underlying blockchain clients. A whole suite of flags and settings can be added during startup or within configuration files to change service behaviour as described in the Modification chapter.

  • 🎨 DAppNode: You can pass down the --<flag-name> within the EXTRA_OPTS field of the client page.
  • 👾 LUKSO CLI: You can pass the superordinate --<client>-<flag-name> or modify the config folder files.
  • 🐳 Docker: You can modify or add settings to the client container's docker_compose.yml files.
  • 🗂️ Custom: Modify network configurations files or directly pass the --<flag-name> to the clients.
