Overview
A Chromia replica node is a critical component within the Chromia blockchain ecosystem, responsible for maintaining a complete copy of a dapp's dedicated blockchain. It helps ensure data redundancy, security, and availability by replicating all the transactions, blocks, and state data from the primary node. These nodes contribute to the network's resilience by allowing other participants to access the blockchain's data and participate in the consensus process, thereby enabling the decentralized operation and scaling of Chromia dapps.
This Marketplace AMI offering gets you a pre-configured Postchain node, allowing you to start replicating blockchains from existing Chromia networks in no time.
Highlights
- Postchain, the software powering Chromia, is already configured -- just run and go!

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Made it eaiser to replicate any chain on the Chromia mainnet.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
When the EC2 instance has started, find out the IP address of the machine and make an HTTP request to the /_debug endpoint on port 7750: curl http://<EC2 instance IP address>:7750/_debug
-
In case making a request to port 7750 as described in step 1 does not work, please wait five minutes and then try again. The first time the replica node starts, it could take a little longer.
-
Note down your node's public key, availabe in the "pubkey" field.
-
Initially, directory chain will be synchronized from other nodes in the network. Watch as the value of the "height" field increases.
-
When directory chain has synchronized, the cluster anchoring chain will synchronize. Watch as the value of the "height" field for the system anchoring chain increases.
-
Towards a signer node in the system cluster, add your node as a replica to the blockchain you would like to replicate: $ pmc blockchain replica add
-brid <BRID of blockchain to replicate>
--pubkey <your node's public key> -
Set your local PMC configuration (~/.chromia/config) to point to your node: http://<EC2 instance IP>:7740/, and try to make queries to directory chain. You can try e.g. $ pmc blockchain list to verify that it works.
To dive into the logs or troubleshoot the node, you can sign in via SSH to the "ubuntu" user account. Elevate to root (sudo -i) and look at the "postchain" Docker container.
