Using custom bootnode
======================
To make custom bootnode usable it must participate in the same DHT as the target cluster.
1. Generate private key for a node
To generate a private key you can use bootnode command line tool from go-ethereum repository.
It is also available as a part of the image: `ethereum/client-go:alltools-latest`.
```bash
docker run --entrypoint=bootnode -v $(pwd):/keys ethereum/client-go:alltools-latest -genkey /keys/node.key
```
2. Run status bootnode with new key and nursery nodes from the target cluster
Status bootnode is available as an image `statusteam/bootnode:latest`.
```bash
./build/bin/bootnode --nodekey=node.key --addr=192.168.0.102:30777 -n=enode://1b843c7697f6fc42a1f606fb3cfaac54e025f06789dc20ad9278be3388967cf21e3a1b1e4be51faecd66c2c3adef12e942b4fcdeb8727657abe60636efb6224f@206.189.6.46:30404
```
3. Construct enode or copy it from bootnode logs.
