sed -i -e "s/^seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/; s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.starsd/config/config.toml

7. Set up minimum gas price.

sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"1ustars\"/;" ~/.starsd/config/app.toml

8. Set up pruning (optional).

pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.starsd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.starsd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.starsd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.starsd/config/app.toml

9. Create service file.

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/starsd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Stargaze Daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which starsd) start
