Lunarium XLN — Linux VPS Install Guide

01

Update system & install dependencies

Run these commands right after connecting to your VPS via SSH.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y wget curl tar ufw screen \
  libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils

02

Create 2 GB swap file

Prevents out-of-memory crashes on VPS with 1 GB RAM. Skip if you have 2 GB+.

sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

03

Download & install Lunarium v3.0.0 binary

Downloads the correct binary for your OS and installs it system-wide.

Download

wget https://github.com/Quimera-Developer/Lunarium-XLN/releases/download/v3.0.0/XLN-Linux2004.tar.gz

Extract

tar -xvf XLN-Linux2004.tar.gz

Set permissions & install globally

chmod +x lunariumcoind lunariumcoin-cli
sudo cp lunariumcoind lunariumcoin-cli /usr/local/bin/

After copying, lunariumcoind and lunariumcoin-cli are available from any directory.

04

Create the configuration file

The daemon requires a lunarium.conf to start correctly.

mkdir -p ~/.lunariumcoin
nano ~/.lunariumcoin/lunarium.conf

Paste this content — wallet / staking

rpcuser=lunariumrpc
rpcpassword=StrongPasswordHere123!
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
staking=1
addnode=80.211.30.202:44071
addnode=212.237.24.82:44071
addnode=80.211.85.215:44071

Replace StrongPasswordHere123! with a long random password. Save in nano: Ctrl+O → Enter → Ctrl+X

05

Start the daemon inside screen

Screen keeps the daemon alive after closing the SSH session.

screen -S lunarium
lunariumcoind

Detach without killing: Ctrl+A then D | Re-attach later: screen -r lunarium

06

Check synchronization status

Wait 1–2 minutes after starting, then run:

lunariumcoin-cli getinfo

Watch the blocks field grow until it matches the current network block height.

lunariumcoin-cli getblockcount
lunariumcoin-cli getstakingstatus

07

Configure firewall (UFW)

Opens only the required ports and protects SSH access.

sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow 44071/tcp
sudo ufw enable

08

Activate the Masternode

Once the VPS is fully synced and the 10,000 XLN collateral is confirmed in the desktop wallet, open the Debug Console and run:

masternode start-alias MN1

Confirm on the VPS:

lunariumcoin-cli masternode status

Expected output: "status": "Masternode successfully started". If not immediate, wait up to 30 minutes after starting.
