Configure store protocol
Store protocol is enabled by default on a go-waku node.
This is controlled by the --store CLI option.
# 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.waku.test.status.im/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAkzHaTP5JsUwfR9NR8Rj9HC24puS6ocaU8wze4QrXr9iXp as store service node.
./build/waku \
--store=true \
--storenode=/dns4/node-01.ac-cn-hongkong-c.waku.test.status.im/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAkzHaTP5JsUwfR9NR8Rj9HC24puS6ocaU8wze4QrXr9iXp
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.
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.
./build/waku \
--store=true \
--persist-messages=true \
--db-path=/mnt/go-waku/data/db1/ \
--store-capacity=150000
--store-seconds=5000000
