| Nwaku Configuration Examples |
This guide provides detailed steps to configure a nwaku node for different use cases.
Connect to Other Peers
To join the Waku Network, nodes must bootstrap for an entry point before discovering more peers. Nwaku provides multiple peer discovery mechanisms:
Configure a Domain Name
You can set up an IPv4 DNS domain name that resolves to the public IPv4 address of a node. This allows the node's publicly announced multiaddrs to use the /dns4 scheme.
./build/wakunode2 --dns4-domain-name=[DOMAIN NAME]
:::info This example describes configuring a domain name that resolves to your node's IP address and is unrelated to DNS Discovery. :::
For example, consider the domain name node.example.com, which resolves to a nwaku node:
./build/wakunode2 --dns4-domain-name=node.example.com
:::info
Nodes with a domain name and secure WebSocket configured will generate a discoverable ENR with /wss multiaddr and /dns4 domain name, essential for verifying domain certificates when connecting securely.
