Solana RPC Install

Solana RPC Install is a Shell-based toolkit for deploying a self-hosted Solana RPC node on Ubuntu. It prepares NVMe storage and the Linux host, builds a Jito Solana or Agave validator from source, configures Yellowstone gRPC and systemd management, and supports snapshot startup and node monitoring.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you have a suitably provisioned Ubuntu server and want a documented, script-based workflow for preparing and operating a self-hosted Solana RPC node.

Who it is for

  • Operators deploying self-hosted Solana RPC infrastructure
  • Teams running private RPC workloads, trading bots, indexing pipelines or DEX event-streaming systems

Documented uses

  • Prepare an Ubuntu host and mount NVMe data disks for a Solana node
  • Build and install Jito Solana or Agave validator software from source
  • Start or restart an RPC node using a downloaded or reusable snapshot
  • Monitor node health, performance and synchronization progress
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The setup requires substantial server resources: at least 128 GB RAM, with 256 GB recommended, and a 1 Gbps-or-faster network connection.
  • The preparation script may format eligible unmounted NVMe data disks, so storage contents need to be checked before use.
  • The documented RPC profiles use a bounded accounts index and index only the Address Lookup Table program.
  • Validator installation uses source compilation from GitHub.
  • The startup script can reuse a complete snapshot and preserves node data on ordinary reruns; fresh-sync mode is explicitly destructive.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare and start a Solana RPC node

Use the repository’s documented stages to prepare an Ubuntu server and start a snapshot-bootstrapped node.

Before you start

  • Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 server with root access
  • At least 128 GB RAM; 256 GB recommended
  • High-bandwidth network connection of 1 Gbps or more
  • NVMe storage; the documented setup supports different disk layouts

Steps

  1. Clone the repository to /root using the README’s git clone command.

  2. Run the command below to mount eligible unmounted NVMe data disks and apply system optimizations; optionally run the command below.

    Documented command
    bash 1-prepare.sh
    Documented command
    bash verify-mounts.sh

  3. Reboot the server, reconnect over SSH, and run the command below to build and install the validator from source.

    Documented command
    bash 2-install-jito-validator.sh

  4. Run the command below to download or reuse a snapshot and start the RPC node.

    Documented command
    bash 3-start.sh

Expected outcome

The documented workflow configures and starts a Solana RPC node with validator software and systemd management.

Guide limitations

  • The preparation script can format eligible unmounted NVMe data disks; check that they do not contain needed data first.
  • The documented account index is bounded and indexes only the Address Lookup Table program, not every account.
  • This guide describes the repository’s documented workflow and does not represent a test run.
