Server version

If your node is running 20.04 or newer, it will be compatible with 2.0 casper-node upgrade.

repo.casper.network

The old repo.casperlabs.io debian repo has been shut down. There is no secure way to point to a new repo without manual steps.

Load repo.casper.network in your browser and follow the steps listed. These will setup your node to pull debian packages for 2.0 staging.

New staging location

/etc/casper/network_configs stores casper.conf and casper-test.conf. Both of these config files need updated. This can be done by installing a new version of casper-node-launcher from the new debian repo added above. However, this will stop the node and start it again.

No functional changes are needed for casper-node-launcher so this can also be down by just downloading the new files:

cd /etc/casper/network_configs
sudo -u casper curl -JLO https://genesis.casper.network/casper/casper.conf
sudo -u casper curl -JLO https://genesis.casper.network/casper-test/casper-test.conf
