CLI Cheatsheet

This cheatsheet collects commonly used CLI commands for node operators to easily copy and paste. A few conventions we follow:

Capitalized words indicate placeholders
Always specify --chain-id and --node flags even when they are unnecessary
Query CLI command always uses --output json flag and pipes result through jq

Managing keys

Check balance

andromedad q bank balances KEY

Create wallet
andromedad keys add KEY

Import wallet
andromedad keys add KEY --recover

List wallets

andromedad keys list

Delete wallet

Withdraw reward
andromedad tx distribution withdraw-all-rewards --from KEY

Withdraw reward and commission
andromedad tx distribution withdraw-rewards YOUR_VALIDATOR_NUMBER --from KEY --commission --gas="auto" --fees 2000uandr --gas=auto

Config

Use custom port
CUSTOM_PORT=267
sed -i -e "s%^proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26658\"%proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${CUSTOM_PORT}58\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26657\"%laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${CUSTOM_PORT}57\"%; s%^pprof_laddr = \"localhost:6060\"%pprof_laddr = \"localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}60\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:26656\"%laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}56\"%; s%^prometheus_listen_addr = \":26660\"%prometheus_listen_addr = \":${CUSTOM_PORT}66\"%" $HOME/.andromedad/config/config.toml
sed -i -e "s%^address = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:1317\"%address = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}17\"%; s%^address = \":8080\"%address = \":${CUSTOM_PORT}80\"%; s%^address = \"0.0.0.0:9090\"%address = \"0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}90\"%; s%^address = \"0.0.0.0:9091\"%address = \"0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}91\"%" $HOME/.andromeda/config/app.toml

Set minimum gas prices
sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.01orai\"/" $HOME/.andromeda/config/app.toml

Enable prometheus
sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME/.andromeda/config/config.toml

Reset chain data
andromedad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --keep-addr-book --home $HOME/.andromeda --keep-addr-book

Pruning config recomended for validator nodes

Disable indexer in config.toml
sed -i -e 's|^indexer *=.*|indexer = "null"|' $HOME/.andromeda/config/config.toml

Configure pruning in app.toml
sed -i \
  -e 's|^pruning *=.*|pruning = "custom"|' \
  -e 's|^pruning-keep-recent *=.*|pruning-keep-recent = "100"|' \
  -e 's|^pruning-interval *=.*|pruning-interval = "10"|' \
  $HOME/.andromeda/config/app.toml
