Step by step guide to running an ubuntu node?

Hi,

Is there an easy guide for this?

If it’s helpful, here’s what I’ve been doing for node-launchpad on new Ubuntu VPS’ to get going:

1: update package list: apt update

2: Install unzip: apt install unzip

3: download node-launchpad: wget https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_network/releases/download/node-launchpad-v0.3.7/node-launchpad-0.3.7-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.zip

4: unzip node-launchpad: unzip node-launchpad-0.3.7-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.zip

5: run node-launchpad: ./node-launchpad

6: follow instructions here: https://forum.autonomi.community/t/assemble-at-the-start-line-the-beta-is-about-to-begin/39882?

I am trying to put together a similar step-by-step process for safenode-manager, but I can’t get it working tonight using the same process as I used last night to do it, so I’ll only share it when it’s working for me!

This works for me on Ubuntu 22.04

Safeup

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safeup/main/install.sh | sudo bash
safeup node-manager

Node manager

If you have already done tests to start unsuccessfully use:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/safe
  • and Restart your computer!

Next I am using one of my nodes from another machine to connect to the network, if I use the default ones or the ones provided later I don’t connect…

safenode-manager add --count 1 --home-network --owner dimitarsafenetworkbulgaria --peer /ip4/151.251.146.231/udp/12001/quic-v1/p2p/12D3KooWPPeoFcydRPPmfsh8t86WprzBHBN8AgJ5jc5fPaysrgU6

safenode-manager start

safenode-manager status

Vdash

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
sudo apt install build-essential
cargo install vdash
sudo /home/dimitar/.cargo/bin/vdash --glob-path /home/dimitar/.local/share/safe/node/**/logs/safenode.log

Privacy. Security. Freedom

If your running Ubuntu give this guide a try A dummies guide to starting a node if your running pi I’m not much help and you will have to wait until Southside is back in the country (if they let him back in that is :joy:)

There is apparently a problem with the published binaries for Raspberry. They link to the wrong key for the network so while they earn nanos they can’t be sent to MaidSafe for the rewards program. If you are in Wave 1 I’d hold off and wait for a new version. If you aren’t in the Rewards program maybe that doesn’t matter as you could just keep them and use them to upload but I wonder if they are spendable on this network?

While you are poping in, I gave you the discord ID for the account you used to ask me for it. Your normal discord ID had underscores

Sorry about that
