Pulse Node Manager

INDEPENDENT PULSECHAIN TOOLING

Your node, with a clear path.

Pulse Node Manager turns hardware checks, Docker setup, sync visibility, and local RPC handoff into one calm workflow.

INSTALLATION

Pick a platform. Follow the same safe path.

Every package starts with the same read-only preflight. Choose a supported local folder, keep Docker running, and let the dashboard show what happens next.

⌘MACOS

Native arm64 package for Macs with Apple silicon. Keep node data on a supported local filesystem.

  1. Open the latest GitLab release.
  2. Download the macOS arm64 archive.
  3. Unpack it and run preflight.

BEFORE YOU START

Know the local requirements.

  • Docker Engine or Docker Desktop already installed and running
  • At least 1.5 TB free for mainnet or 1 TB for Testnet V4
  • A supported local filesystem for chain data
  • Outbound network access for pinned client images

NETWORKS

Know what your local RPC will hand off.

Mainnet and Testnet V4 use separate ports, data folders, Docker projects, and labels so a wallet connection is unambiguous.

THE PATH

Understand every step before it runs.

The manager explains the consequences first, then keeps the local node observable from setup through RPC handoff.

01

Check this computer

See Docker, disk, memory, ports, and architecture before anything is downloaded.

02

Choose where data lives

Pick a folder for separate execution and consensus data. Mainnet and testnet stay apart.

03

Watch the sync

Follow clients, peers, disk growth, and clear readiness states from the dashboard.

04

Use your node

When readiness is proven, copy the loopback RPC, chain ID, currency, and explorer link.

RELEASES YOU CAN TRACE

One release page connects the build to the install.

Each version is built through the GitLab pipeline on Linux, macOS, and Windows jobs. The release page collects the packages and notes in one place, while this page keeps prerequisites and platform steps in view.

DESIGNED FOR SAFE LOCAL USE

No seed phrases. No silent host changes.

The manager never asks for wallet secrets, installs Docker without consent, opens remote RPC, or silently adopts an existing data directory.
