Qortal Project

This is a guide for updating the QORTector.

This will remove all the log files, download the newest version of the qortal.jar, and force a bootstrap:

cd && cd qortal && ./stop.sh && rm qortal.jar && curl -L -O https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.jar && ./start.sh

Go to the How To Bootstrap & Delete The DB page.

To update the UI, open the UI. If there is an update available, you'll see a notification like the screenshot below:

Followed by the screenshot below, where you'll have the option to restart now or update upon closing the UI:

If you have admin access to your router, you should configure port forwarding for the QORTector. Refer to the Port Forwarding page on how to do so.

For those who have low bandwidth internet service, you will want to reduce your peer settings in the json file. Simply change the minBlockchainPeers to 3, and the maxPeers to 16 as seen below (or just copy and paste the code below into your json file - replacing what is there currently):

{
"apiDocumentationEnabled": false,
"apiEnabled": true,
"apiRestricted": false,
"autoUpdateEnabled": true,
"minBlockchainPeers": 3,
"minOutboundPeers": 16,
"maxPeers": 16,
"listenPort": 12392,
"allowConnectionsWithOlderPeerVersions": false
}
