# Configure store protocol
|
|
|
|
Store protocol is enabled by default on a go-waku node.
|
|
This is controlled by the `--store` CLI option.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Disable store protocol on startup
|
|
./build/waku --store=false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this only mounts the `store` protocol,
|
|
meaning your node will indicate to other peers that it supports `store`.
|
|
It does not yet allow your node to either retrieve historical messages as a client
|
|
or store and serve historical messages itself.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring a store client
|
|
|
|
Ensure that `store` is enabled (this is `true` by default) and provide at least one store service node address with the `--storenode` CLI option.
|
|
|
|
See the following example, using the peer at `/dns4/node-01.ac-cn-hongkong-c.wakuv2.test.statusim.net/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAkvWiyFsgRhuJEb9JfjYxEkoHLgnUQmr1N5mKWnYjxYRVm` as store service node.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./build/waku \
|
|
--store=true \
|
|
--storenode=/dns4/node-01.ac-cn-hongkong-c.wakuv2.test.statusim.net/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAkvWiyFsgRhuJEb9JfjYxEkoHLgnUQmr1N5mKWnYjxYRVm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your node can now send queries to retrieve historical messages
|
|
from the configured store service node.
|
|
One way to trigger such queries is asking your node for historical messages using the [Waku v2 JSON RPC API](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/16/).
|
|
|
|
## Configuring a store service node
|
|
|
|
To store historical messages on your node which can be served to store clients the `--persist-messages` CLI option must be enabled.
|
|
By default a node would store up to the latest `50 000` messages received in the last `2 592 000` seconds (30 days)
|
|
This is configurable using the `--store-capacity` and `store-seconds` options.
|
|
A node that has a `--db-path` set will backup historical messages to a local database at the DB path
|
|
and persist these messages even after a restart.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./build/waku \
|
|
--store=true \
|
|
--persist-messages=true \
|
|
--db-path=/mnt/go-waku/data/db1/ \
|
|
--store-capacity=150000
|
|
--store-seconds=5000000
|
|
```
