 # TRUF.NETWORK Node Operator Guide
 
-This guide will walk you through the process of setting up and running a TRUF.NETWORK (TN) node. By following these steps, you'll be able to deploy a node, optionally become a validator, and contribute to the TN v2 mainnet.
+This repository contains configuration files and utilities for running a TRUF.NETWORK (TN) node.
 
-> **New to server setup or need a quick start?** Check our [Quick Installation Guide](docs/installation-guide.md) with copy-paste commands for a fresh server instance.
+## Documentation
 
-## Prerequisites
+For detailed instructions on setting up and running a TRUF.NETWORK node, please refer to our official documentation:
 
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
+- [Node Operator Guide](https://trufnetwork.github.io/node-operator-guide) - Comprehensive guide to setting up and running a TN node
 
-1. **Kwild**: The all-in-one binary for node operation and administration.
-    - Download from the [latest GitHub release](https://github.com/trufnetwork/node/releases)
+## Repository Contents
 
-2. **Docker**: Required for running the PostgreSQL image.
-    - Install from [Docker's official website](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker)
+This repository contains:
 
-3. **PostgreSQL Client**: Required for state sync and database operations.
-    - Install with `sudo apt -y install postgresql-16` (Ubuntu/Debian)
+1. **Configuration Files**: Essential network configuration files in the `configs/network/` directory:
+   - `v2/genesis.json`: The network's genesis file
+   - `v2/network-nodes.csv`: List of available nodes for peer discovery
 
-## Setup Steps
+2. **Documentation**: Detailed guides in the `docs/` directory:
+   - `installation-guide.md`: Quick start guide with copy-paste commands
+   - `creating-config.md`: Detailed configuration options for production setups
 
-### 1. Clone the Repository
+## Getting Help
 
-First, clone the TRUF.NETWORK node operator repository:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/trufnetwork/truf-node-operator.git
-cd truf-node-operator
-```
-
-### 2. Generate Initial Configuration
-
-Use `kwild` to create your initial configuration file:
-
-```bash
-kwild setup init \
-  --genesis ./configs/network/v2/genesis.json \
-  --root ./my-node-config \
-  --p2p.bootnodes "4e0b5c952be7f26698dc1898ff3696ac30e990f25891aeaf88b0285eab4663e1#ed25519@node-1.mainnet.truf.network:26656,0c830b69790eaa09315826403c2008edc65b5c7132be9d4b7b4da825c2a166ae#ed25519@node-2.mainnet.truf.network:26656"
-```
-
-For detailed instructions on configuration options more relevant to a production setup, refer to our [Configuration Guide](docs/creating-config.md).
-
-### 3. Enable State Sync
-
-Edit the `config.toml` file in your node configuration directory to enable state sync. The following example assumes you used `./my-node-config` as your root directory in the previous step. Adjust the path if you used a different directory:
-
-```bash
-# Edit the config.toml file
-sed -i '/\[state_sync\]/,/^\[/ s/enable = false/enable = true/' ./my-node-config/config.toml
-sed -i 's/trusted_providers = \[\]/trusted_providers = ["0c830b69790eaa09315826403c2008edc65b5c7132be9d4b7b4da825c2a166ae#ed25519@node-2.mainnet.truf.network:26656"]/' ./my-node-config/config.toml
-```
-
-This will configure your node to use state sync for faster synchronization with the network.
-
-### 4. Set Up PostgreSQL
-
-For a quick setup, run Kwil's pre-configured PostgreSQL Docker image:
-
-```bash
-docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name tn-postgres \
-    -e "POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust" \
-    -v tn-pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
-    --shm-size=1gb \
-    kwildb/postgres:latest
-```
-
-The command above:
-- `-v tn-pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data`: Creates a persistent volume named 'tn-pgdata' to store database data
-- `--shm-size=1gb`: Allocates 1GB of shared memory for PostgreSQL operations (recommended for better performance)
-
-#### Installing pg_dump for Snapshots
-
-To enable state sync functionality, you'll need `pg_dump` installed. Here's how to install it:
-
-For Ubuntu/Debian:
-```bash
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-16
-```
-
-For CentOS/RHEL:
-```bash
-sudo yum install postgresql16
-```
-
-For macOS (using Homebrew):
-```bash
-brew install postgresql@16
-```
-
-Verify the installation:
-```bash
-pg_dump --version
-```
-
-This should show PostgreSQL version 16.x.x. The `pg_dump` utility is required for creating and restoring database snapshots during state sync.
-
-If you prefer a custom PostgreSQL setup, ensure it meets the requirements specified in the [Kwil documentation](https://docs.kwil.com/docs/daemon/running-postgres).
-
-**Security Warning**: It is recommended to not expose port 5432 publicly in production environments.
-
-### 5. Deploy TN Node
-
-Run the kwild binary to deploy your node:
-
-```bash
-kwild start -r ./my-node-config
-```
-
-You can run kwild in the background by adding `&` at the end of the command:
-
-```bash
-kwild start -r ./my-node-config &
-```
-
-This allows you to run other kwild commands in the same terminal session, such as checking node status or managing validators.
-
-Ensure your firewall allows incoming connections on:
-- JSON-RPC port (default: 8484)
-- P2P port (default: 6600)
-
-The `--statesync.enable` and `--statesync.trusted_providers` flags are optional and will help your node sync faster with the network using snapshots provided by the RPC servers.
-
-### 6. Verify Node Synchronization
-
-Before proceeding to become a validator, ensure your node is fully synced with the network:
-
-```bash
-kwild admin status
-```
-
-Look for the `syncing: false` in the output, and check that your `best_block_height` is close to the current network height.
-
-### 7. Become a Validator (Optional)
-
-To upgrade your node to a validator:
-
-1. Ensure your node is fully synced with the network.
-2. Submit a validator join request:
-
-```bash
-kwild validators join
-```
-
-3. Wait for approval from existing validators. You can check your join request status with:
-
-```bash
-kwild validators list-join-requests
-```
-
-Existing validators must approve your request. For each existing validator needed to approve:
-
-```bash
-kwild validators approve <your-node-id>
-```
-
-The node ID format for validator operations is: `<public key>#<key type>`. For example:
-```bash
-kwild validators approve 03dbe22b9922b5c0f8f60c230446feaa1c132a93caa9dae83b5d4fab16c3404a22#secp256k1
-```
-
-You can find your node's public key and key type by running:
-```bash
-kwild key info --key-file ./my-node-config/nodekey.json
-```
-
-Note: If you used a different directory name during setup (not `./my-node-config`), replace the path with your actual node configuration directory path.
-
-This will show your node's public key and key type, which you'll need for validator operations.
-
-You can always reach out to the community for help with the validator process.
-
-### 8. Submit Your Node to Available Node List (Optional)
-
-To help others discover your node:
-
-1. Fork the TN repository.
-2. Add your node information to the `configs/network/available_nodes.json` file.
-3. Submit a Pull Request with your changes.
-
-We'll review and merge your PR to include your node in the network's seed list.
-
-## Network Configuration Files
-
-Essential network configuration files are located in the `configs/network/` directory:
-
-- `v2/genesis.json`: The network's genesis file.
-- `v2/network-nodes.csv`: List of available nodes for peer discovery.
-
-When setting up your node, refer to these files for network-specific parameters and peer information.
-
-## Node ID Format
-
-Node IDs in TRUF.NETWORK follow the format: `<public key>#<key type>@<IP address>:<port>`
-
-You can find your node ID by running:
-```bash
-kwild key info --key-file ./my-node-config/nodekey.json
-```
