Warning
RPC Nodes (OpenEthereum and Nethermind) are exposed to the web over the JSON-RPC interface. It is not safe to use them to store funds.
RPC Nodes come with all APIs exposed and are configured to be archived nodes.

The official scripts repository is hosted in https://github.com/polischain/polis-chains/​

Starting the node instance
To start the node simply write in the command line.
docker-compose -f docker/olympus/rpc-oe.yml up
Stopping the validator instance
To stop the validator instance once the docker-compose command is executed you must simply close de session or send a finish signal with CTRL+C

To run a validator process in the background the recommended tool is to use the screen command.
To do so, simply type screen in the command line interface and execute the docker-compose command above.
