cp -r certificates/* vue-Frontend/certificates/.

4. Running Node and vue-Frontend

NODE - Running by default on PORT 80!

Additional Info:

Blockchain can be found and downloaded via curl or wget from: https://webdftp.vpnromania.ro/ftp/blockchainDB3.tar.gz

^ These backups are made at every 6 hours.

Create a folder named blockchainDB3 inside Node-WebDollar1 and unpack the downloaded arhive to that folder. If the folder is already created, delete the contents inside it and download the backup inside.

To unzip it, run: tar -zxvf blockchainDB3.tar.gz -C . -> always run this inside blockchainDB3 folder!
