To enable this to autostart on bootup run:

systemctl enable availd.service

Start it manually with:

systemctl start availd.service

You can check that it's working with:

systemctl status availd.service

You can tail the logs with journalctllike so:

journalctl -f -u availd

Check your node on https://telemetry.avail.tools

Set identity

After the node has synchronized, we pull out the key from our node by entering the command

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "author_rotateKeys", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9933

If you get a similar result, then everything is great {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0xa0very0long0hex0string","id":1} - copy the key (in bold) we will need it in the near future
