Additional notes

  • The new entrypoint to run the Bor client is server.

    $ bor server <flags>
    
  • The bor dumpconfig sub-command prints the default configurations, in the TOML format, on the terminal. One can pipe (>) this to a file (say config.toml) and use it to start bor.

  • A toml file now can be used instead of flags and can contain all configuration for the node to run. To simply run bor with a configuration file, the following command can be used.

    $ bor server --config <path_to_config.toml>
    
  • You can find an example config file here to know more about what each flag is used for, what are the defaults and recommended values for different networks.

  • Toml files used earlier (with --config flag) to configure additional fields (like static and trusted nodes) are being deprecated and have been converted to flags.
