4. Enable Juno during startup​

  1. Click on the name of the newly created VM instance to view its details.
  2. Click the "Edit" button.
  3. Head to the "Automation" section and enter the following startup script: 
    #! /bin/bash
    sudo /usr/local/bin/run_juno.sh
  4. Click the "Save" button.
  5. Restart the VM.

5. Interact with the Juno node​

You can interact with Juno using its JSON-RPC Interface. Here's an example to check the availability of Juno:

curl --location 'http://localhost:6060' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "juno_version",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
}'
