Run rippled as a Stock Server

A stock server is a multipurpose configuration for rippled. With a stock server, you can submit transactions to the XRP Ledger, access ledger history, and use the latest tools to integrate with XRP and the XRP Ledger. You can connect client applications to the XRP Ledger using this server.

A stock server does all of the following:

• Connects to a network of peers

• Relays cryptographically signed transactions

• Maintains a local copy of the complete shared global ledger

To participate in the consensus process as a validator, run rippled as a validator instead.

Install and run rippled

The default package installation installs a stock server with a small amount of transaction history. For installation steps, see Install rippled.

After installation, you can adjust how much history your server stores at a time. For steps on how to do this, see Configure Online Deletion.
