Showing Your Ethereum Wallet on Linux

Are you tired of having to open a GUI window just to view your Ethereum wallet? Or maybe you’re low on RAM and need a faster way to manage your transactions? In this article, we’ll show you several methods for displaying your Ethereum wallet on the command line in Linux.

Method 1: Using cat

The simplest approach is to use the cat command. This will display the entire wallet file in binary format, which may be what’s happening if you’re only seeing binary data:

$cat -n~/.etherscancli/wallet.json

Replace ~/.etherscancli/ with the actual path to your Ethereum wallet file.

This command will display the contents of your wallet in a human-readable format, but it’s still just binary data. You may need to convert this back to a more readable format if you’re not familiar with hexadecimal or JSON.

Method 2: Using wallet-cli

If you want to interact with your Ethereum wallet programmatically, you can use the wallet-cli command:

$wallet-cli --help

This will display a help message for the various options available. One of them is --show, which should allow you to view the contents of your wallet in a GUI-free format.

If you don’t see anything when you run this command, make sure that:

• You have installed the wallet-cli package using apt-get or another package manager.

• Your Ethereum wallet is successfully configured and installed on your system.

Method 3: Using xrdp

For those running 64-bit Linux systems with the X11 display manager (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian), you can use the xrdp utility to view your Ethereum wallet in a GUI-free format:

$xrdp --wallet= -show

Replace with the actual path to your Ethereum wallet file.

This command will display the contents of your wallet in a window, which can be very useful for managing large amounts of data. Just make sure you configure xrdp correctly and set up a secure connection to your Ethereum network.

Method 4: Using sshfs (if you have SSH access)

If you are running Linux on an external server or in a container, you may not have the option to view your wallet using wallet-cli. In this case, you can use the sshfs utility to mount a remote filesystem:

$sshfs -o no_x11=true @:~/.etherscancli/ wallet.json~/

Replace with your actual username and with the IP address of your external server or container. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access your Ethereum wallet.

Once mounted, you can use sshfs to view the contents of your wallet in a GUI-free format:

$sshfs -o no_x11=true @:~/.etherscancli/ wallet.json~/

Conclusion

Showing your Ethereum wallet from the command line is now easier than ever! With these methods, you can interact with your wallet programmatically or view it in a GUI-free format. Remember to always follow best practices to secure your wallet and network. Happy trading!
