Run a node

Local development testnet (Docker)

docker compose up --build       # bootstrap + alice + bob
scripts/docker-smoke-test.sh    # admission, storage, messaging, audit

Docker-free testnet

scripts/local-net.sh 3          # 3 local node processes
scripts/smoke-test.sh           # end-to-end verification

Join the public network

knt node start --identity ./me.knoten --quota 1073741824 \
  --bootstrap /dns4/bootstrap.upliftstudios.ca/tcp/9000

To operate a bootstrap node, see the deployment guide.
