If possible, I would like to use parity with my private ethereum network.
This answer (https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/a/9148/4575) provides us a solution that geth
will run on the background and parity
will pull information from geth
.
[Q] Is it possible to run only parity
(geth
won't run on the background) that is connect to the private etheum network and do mining, deploy contract, send transactions etc.?
If yes is there any well explained tutorial related to adding private network peers to Parity and make Parity to connect into the private network's chain instead of the public ethereum's chain.
Is this link might help me?https://github.com/ethcore/parity/wiki/Configuring-Parity. If yes which parameters should I focus on to change?
Also how could I add admin.addPeer("enode://<id>@<ip>:<port>?discport=0");
and provide the --networkid
to Parity
to allow it to connect into the private network like we could do in geth
?
Example by using geth
as follows I can connect into my private network:
id="<enodeId>";
datapath="/MyEthereumEbloc"
geth --networkid 23422 --datadir="$datapath" --rpccorsdomain '*' --rpc --rpcaddr "localhost" --rpccorsdomain="*" --rpcport="8545"--bootnodes enode://$id@<ip>:<port>
Please note that I was not able to find any tutorial related make parity
connect into private ethereum network, which might be very helpful.
Thank you for your valuable time and help.

Not sure if I get your question correctly. Assuming you have a private network running with 5 clients on network ID
13337
andmyGenesis.json
chain configuration.enode://0000..0001@192.168.178.101:36541
enode://0000..0002@192.168.178.102:36542
enode://0000..0003@192.168.178.103:36543
enode://0000..0004@192.168.178.104:36544
enode://0000..0005@192.168.178.105:36545
Add these nodes to a file, let's say
myPrivateNetwork.txt
, one entry per line:And subsequently, run Parity with
--chain myGenesis.json --network-id 13337 --reserved-peers myPrivateNetwork.txt --reserved-only
. Or add it to the config file:This will establish a private network containing only your nodes:
Adding reserved peers also works from the Web3 console by issuing:
Note, that you have to enable the
parity
json rpc api.You can also run a private development chain with
parity --chain dev
.
