Do this as soon as you have created the server to give the DNS record to propogate.
ssh to your server as root, replacing <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> with the IP of your server. Then create your new sudo user, replacing <username> with your desired new ubuntu username.
ssh root@<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
# enter new root password
adduser <username>
# enter password for new user
usermod -aG sudo <username>
su - <username>

enable the site
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/navpay.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Install certbot and ssl certificates source: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntufocal-nginx
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install core; sudo snap refresh core
sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
sudo certbot --nginx
go through the certbot wizard, selecting the url that was configured in /etc/nginx/sites-available/navpay.conf
Wait for the blockchain to be fully downloaded and parsed into the mongodb. Once the progress is showing as 100 percent complete in the system journal the server is ready to be connected to with your NavPay wallet client.
Since we used the enable command on both bitcore and mongo, these should both start up automatically on any system restart.
install the new version of navcoind, replacing <x.x.x> with the installed version number and <y.y.y> with the new version number you wish to install.
sudo systemctl stop bitcore
wget https://github.com/navcoin/navcoin-core/releases/download/<x.x.x>/navcoin-<y.y.y>-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar zxvf navcoin-<y.y.y>-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
sudo cp /home/navpay/navcoin-<x.x.x>/bin/navcoind /home/navpay/mynode/node_modules/bitcore-node/bin/navcoind
sudo cp /home/navpay/navcoin-<x.x.x>/bin/navcoind /usr/local/bin/navcoind
sudo systemctl start bitcore
check the daemon updated and bitcore is syncing, replacing <x.x.x> with the newly installed daemon version.
/home/navpay/mynode/node_modules/bitcore-node/bin/navcoin-<x.x.x>/bin/navcoin-cli -datadir=/home/navpay/mynode/data/ getinfo
sudo journalctl -u bitcore.service -f
you should see the new daemon version in the getinfo output and the service syncing successfully in the journal.
ensure the bitcore-node configruation has the latest daemon version specified, if not, make a PR to update the version in the repo here;
https://github.com/Encrypt-S/bitcore-node/blob/master/scripts/download
move the data folder out of the install directory so we don't have to download the entire blockchain again and reinstall the bitcore service
sudo systemctl stop bitcore
mv ~/mynode/data ~/data-backup
rm -rf mynode
npm install --unsafe-perm -g git://github.com/Encrypt-S/bitcore-node.git
bitcore-node create mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node install insight-api
bitcore-node install bitcore-wallet-service
mv ~/data-backup ~/mynode/data
sudo systemctl start bitcore
sudo systemctl status bitcore
check the daemon updated and bitcore is syncing, replacing <x.x.x> with the newly installed daemon version.
/home/navpay/mynode/node_modules/bitcore-node/bin/navcoin-<x.x.x>/bin/navcoin-cli -datadir=/home/navpay/mynode/data/ getinfo
sudo journalctl -u bitcore.service -f
you should see the new daemon version in the getinfo output and the service syncing successfully in the journal.
