A Docker Compose-based setup for running your own Base node, an Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack. It bundles the base-reth-node execution client and base-consensus client with configuration for mainnet and Sepolia testnet.
Use cases
- run a base mainnet node
- run a base sepolia testnet node
- self-host an ethereum l2 archive node
- operate a base rpc endpoint
- sync base chain data locally
- run a base node with flashblocks support
When to choose
- you need your own Base RPC endpoint without relying on third-party providers
- you want to index or query Base chain data locally
- you need an archive node for analytics or infrastructure work
When to avoid
- you only need occasional RPC access - a hosted endpoint is simpler
- you lack the 32GB+ RAM and large NVMe storage requirements
- you want to build dApps rather than operate chain infrastructure
