Running a QRL node on Android

Running a QRL node strengthens the network, supports the decentralization and further verifies transactions on the network.

This project is a PoC developped during the QRL Winter Hackathon 2021.

Android node setup

1. On Google play, install UserLAnd.

2. After installing the App, launch it and click on Ubuntu. You’ll be required to provide user login details that will be created for you during installation.

3. Go in the "Sessions" tab and launch an Ubuntu session.

4. Download the installation script and make the script executable.

    $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xFF0/QRL_Android/main/Install_qrl_node_Android.sh --no-check-certificate
    $ chmod +x Install_qrl_node_Android.sh
   

5. Run the script (it can takes multiple hours to setup everything).

    $ ./Install_qrl_node_Android.sh
   

6. When you’re done, you can start the QRL node.

    $ start_qrl
   

Uninstall

If you want to uninstall Ubuntu and/or start from scratch, you can delete the filesystem used by the Ubuntu App.

Warning: all data will be erased. To keep any files after uninstalling, make sure to copy them somewhere outside scoped storage before you uninstall.

1. Go to the "Filesystems" tab.

2. Click on the Ubuntu filesystem and select "Delete".
