UPDATE: Aptos

If you did setup Aptos node using kjnodes noscripts before 16.05. Please consider to rebuild your VPS using more recent guide. After installation you have to re-submit your VALIDATOR VERIFICATION FORM with values from generated <username>.yaml file instead of private-keys.yaml

#aptos

UPDATE: Aptos

As Aptos team yesterday have changed their initial docker compose configuration files, it was not plausible to install both validator and fullnode on the same machine using noscripts in a guide. Please make sure you have both docker container testnet-fullnode-1 and testnet-validator-1 up and running.

docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'

If you have only testnet-validator-1 container running please cleanup your node or completely rebuild VPS from scratch and re-submit VALIDATOR VERIFICATION FORM
