Uninstalling Xerom Nodes
Removing nodes and getting your stake back
Introduction
Removing the Xerom node services and data is as simple as disabling the services and deleting the application data. When you disable the services, they still exist on your system but they are not executed upon reboot.
This guide assumes you installed the Xerom Node software as the Xero user. If you installed the software as a different user, adjust the instructions accordingly, specifically on the last step replace /xero/ with the username for your Xero user.
If you're using Unit/Frontier to manage your node, simply delete it within Unit/Frontier and proceed to the step which retrieves your stake.
Disable Ether-1 Services
Regardless of which node you're running, executing all the following commands will disable all Xerom Node services.
1
sudo systemctl stop xerochainnode
2
sudo systemctl disable xerochainnode
3
sudo systemctl stop xeronode
4
sudo systemctl disable xeronode
5
sudo systemctl stop xerolinknode
6
sudo systemctl disable xerolinknode
7
sudo systemctl stop xerosupernode
8
sudo systemctl disable xerosupernode
Copied!
Delete Application Data
Delete all chain data by executing:
1
rm -rf /home/xero/.xerom/*
Copied!
Reversing The Process
If you've changed your mind and want to run the Xerom Node (regardless of type), you can reverse the whole process and return into a fully synchronized and running node by executing:
1
sudo systemctl enable xerochainnode
2
sudo systemctl start xerochainnode
3
sudo systemctl enable xeronode
4
sudo systemctl start xeronode
5
sudo systemctl enable xerolinknode
6
sudo systemctl start xerolinknode
7
sudo systemctl enable xerosupernode
8
sudo systemctl start xerosupernode
Copied!
Checking Xerom Service Status
Whether you've decided to stick with your decision to disable the Xerom Node services or decided to enable them again, you can use the commands below to determine their status.
Make sure the Xerom processes are either running or not running by executing:
1
sudo journalctl -f -u xero
Copied!
You should see no records indicating activity if the services are disabled. If you see activity, the services are running.
You can also check the operational status of the Xerom Node services by executing:
1
sudo systemctl status xerochainnode
2
sudo systemctl status xeronode
3
sudo systemctl status xerolinknode
4
sudo systemctl status xerosupernode
Copied!
