Common CLI
CLI is mostly the same as any Substrate-based chain such as Kusama and Polkadot
Because there are two node services are running, -- is used to split the CLI. Arguments before -- are passed to the parachain full-node service and arguments after -- is passed to the Relay Chain full-node service.
For example --chain=parachain.json --ws-port=9944 -- --chain=relaychain.json --ws-port=9945 means
The parachain service is using parachain.json as the chain spec and the web socket RPC port is 9944
The Relay Chain service is using relaychain.json as the chain spec and the web socket
RPC port is 9945
It is recommended to explicitly specify the ports for both services to avoid confusion
For example --listen-addr=/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/30333 --listen-addr=/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/30334/ws -- --listen-addr=/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/30335 --listen-addr=/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/30336/ws
It is recommended to add --execution=wasm for parachain service to avoid syncing issues.
