Light Client Daemon (LCD REST server)

To start a REST server, we need to specify the following parameters:

Parameter Type Default Required Description
chain-id string null true chain id of the full node to connect
node URL "tcp://localhost:46657" true address of the full node to connect
laddr URL "tcp://localhost:1317" true address to run the rest server on
trust-node bool "false" true Whether this LCD is connected to a trusted full node
trust-store DIRECTORY "$HOME/.lcd" false directory for save checkpoints and validator sets

For example::

terracli rest-server --chain-id=test \
    --laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 \
    --node tcp://localhost:26657 \
    --trust-node=false

The server listens on HTTP by default. You can enable the secure layer by adding the --tls flag. By default a self-signed certificate will be generated and its fingerprint printed out. You can configure the server to use a SSL certificate by passing the certificate and key files via the --ssl-certfile and --ssl-keyfile flags:

terracli rest-server --chain-id=test \
    --laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 \
    --node tcp://localhost:26657 \
    --trust-node=false \
    --tls \
    --ssl-certfile=mycert.pem --ssl-keyfile=mykey.key
