DEPLOYMENT

Choose the deployment mode before configuring the node.

PBE Core 0.0.1 supports a web/server profile and a standalone profile. They run the same chain protocol but differ in storage and exposed local services.

Deployment profiles

Profile	Default storage	Interface model
Web / server	MySQL or MariaDB	Web-hosted node, explorer/wallet/API as configured, plus public P2P endpoint.
Standalone	SQLite	Localhost UI/RPC on port 8024 by default, with a separate P2P listener on port 8025.

Start the node daemon

Run the daemon from the Paybyte project root using the active config/config.php.

Shell

php bin/pbe-node --config config/config.php

Windows / XAMPP example

Windows CMD

cd /d D:\xampp\htdocs\paybyte.org
D:\xampp\php\php.exe bin\pbe-node --config config\config.php

First start

The node establishes chain identity, connects to the configured database, validates release schema expectations, initializes its local node identity as needed, and begins peer synchronization. A node does not need an operator wallet merely to validate and sync.

Continue to Operator wallet only if this machine should be authorized to produce blocks.
