# Miscellaneous Source: https://docs.chain.link/chainlink-nodes/resources/miscellaneous ## Execute Commands Running Docker In order to interact with the node's CLI commands, you need to be authenticated. This means that you need to access a shell within the Chainlink node's running container first. You can obtain the running container's `NAME` by running: ```shell docker ps ``` The output will look similar to: ``` CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 436882efd51d smartcontract/chainlink "./chainlink-launche…" 33 minutes ago Up 21 minutes 6688/tcp, 0.0.0.0:6688->6688/tcp chainlink ``` The last item, `chainlink`, is the name of the running container (using `--name chainlink` in your `docker run` command will give you a common name). Accessing a shell for this container is accomplished by running: ```shell docker exec -it chainlink /bin/bash ``` This changes the prompt to something similar to: ```shell root@436882efd51d:~# ``` You can now log in by running: ```shell chainlink admin login ``` You will be prompted to enter your API Email and Password, and if successful, the prompt will simply appear again. You can check that you are authenticated by running: ```shell chainlink jobs list ``` If no jobs have been added, you will receive the following output, otherwise, the list of added jobs will be returned: ``` ╔ Jobs ╬════╬════════════╬════════════╬═══════╬ ║ ID ║ CREATED AT ║ INITIATORS ║ TASKS ║ ╬════╬════════════╬════════════╬═══════╬ ``` ## Transfer funds from node wallet. > **NOTE: Note for Docker** > > If using Docker, you will first need to follow the [Execute Commands Running Docker](#execute-commands-running-docker) > guide to enter the running container. To transfer funds from the node wallet to another address, use the following CLI command: ```shell chainlink txs create ``` This method is the preferred way to interact with your node wallet. Using other methods to manually interact with the node wallet can cause nonce issues. ## Change your API password > **NOTE: Note for Docker** > > If using Docker, you will first need to follow the [Execute Commands Running Docker](#execute-commands-running-docker) > guide to enter the running container. In order to change your password, you first need to log into the CLI by running: ```shell chainlink admin login ``` Use your API email and old password in order to authenticate. Then run the following in order to update the password: ```shell chainlink admin chpass ``` It will ask for your old password first, then ask for the new password and a confirmation. Once complete, you should see a message "Password updated." ## Multi-user and Role Based Access Control (RBAC) See the [Roles and Access Control](/chainlink-nodes/v1/roles-and-access) page. ## Key management In this section, ensure you log into the CLI by executing the following command: ```shell chainlink admin login ``` Authenticate using your API email and password. ### List ETH keys To list available Ethereum accounts along with their ETH & LINK balances, nonces, and other metadata, execute the following command: ```shell chainlink keys eth list ``` Example: ```text 🔑 ETH keys ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address: 0x2d4f5FBD00E5A4fD53D162cE7EDFdb5b7664C542 EVM Chain ID: 11155111 Next Nonce: 0 ETH: 0.000000000000000000 LINK: 0 Disabled: false Created: 2023-04-26 08:12:51.340348 +0000 UTC Updated: 2023-04-26 08:12:51.340348 +0000 UTC ``` ### Create a new ETH Key To create a key in the node's keystore alongside the existing keys, run the following command: ```shell chainlink keys eth create ``` Example: ```text ETH key created. 🔑 New key ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address: 0xd31961E1f62A2FaB824AC3C1A7a332daF8B11eE0 EVM Chain ID: 11155111 Next Nonce: 0 ETH: 0.000000000000000000 LINK: 0 Disabled: false Created: 2023-04-26 08:28:36.52974 +0000 UTC Updated: 2023-04-26 08:28:36.52974 +0000 UTC Max Gas Price Wei: 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639935 ``` ### Export an ETH key To export an Ethereum key to a JSON file, run the following command: ```shell chainlink keys eth export [address] [command options] ``` where: - `address`: The EVM account address for which you want to export the private key. - Options: - `--newpassword FILE, -p FILE FILE`: A file containing the password to encrypt the key. - `--output value, -o value`: The path where the JSON file will be saved. Example: ```text chainlink keys eth export 0xd31961E1f62A2FaB824AC3C1A7a332daF8B11eE0 --newpassword .chainlink/pass --output privatekey.json 🔑 Exported ETH key 0xd31961E1f62A2FaB824AC3C1A7a332daF8B11eE0 to privatekey.json ``` ### Delete an ETH key To remove an Ethereum key, run the following command: ```shell chainlink keys eth delete [address] [command options] ``` where: - `address`: The EVM account address that you want to remove. - Options: - `--yes, -y`: Skip the confirmation prompt. Example: ```text $ chainlink keys eth delete 0xd31961E1f62A2FaB824AC3C1A7a332daF8B11eE0 --yes Deleted ETH key: 0xd31961E1f62A2FaB824AC3C1A7a332daF8B11eE0 ``` ### Import an ETH key To import an Ethereum key from a JSON file, run the following command: ```shell chainlink keys eth import [JSON file] [command options] ``` where: - `JSON file`: The path where the JSON file containing the ETH key is saved. - Options: - `--oldpassword FILE, -p FILE`: FILE containing the password used to encrypt the key in the JSON file. - `--evmChainID value`: Chain ID for the key. If left blank, default chain will be used. Example: ```text $ chainlink keys eth import privatekey.json --oldpassword .chainlink/pass 🔑 Imported ETH key ------------------------------------------------------------- Address: 0xd31961E1f62A2FaB824AC3C1A7a332daF8B11eE0 EVM Chain ID: 11155111 Next Nonce: 0 ETH: 0.000000000000000000 LINK: 0 Disabled: false Created: 2023-04-26 08:51:02.04186 +0000 UTC Updated: 2023-04-26 08:51:02.04186 +0000 UTC Max Gas Price Wei: ``` ## Full example in detached mode ```shell cd ~/.chainlink-sepolia && docker run --restart=always -p 6688:6688 -d --name sepolia-primary -v ~/.chainlink-sepolia:/chainlink -it --env-file=.env smartcontract/chainlink:1.0.0 node start -p /chainlink/.password ```
