After installation, you own upgrades, key rotation, backups, and performance tuning. For production, pin versions, use staged rollouts, and read release notes for consensus-critical changes.
Upgrades
Plan maintenance windows, snapshot data when required, and verify each node rejoins the right network after restart.
Keys and access
Separate operator keys from reward keys. Restrict RPC to localhost or trusted networks. Audit who can sign or submit configuration changes.
Support
Use the issue tracker in GitHub and your team’s on-call process for outages.
