1. First, purchase a server from AEZA, Contabo or Spacecore.
We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed. However, you can also choose Contabo.
Server specifications
Minimum Requirements:
- A relatively modern CPU is recommended.
- 32 GB RAM
- 100 Mbps connection (1 Gbps+ recommended)
Storage:
- Testnet Nodes: 30 GB
- Mainnet Nodes: 300 GB, with the state growing.
2. Set up the server on your PC.
Log in using the command root@ip.
But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.
3. API Access
- The HTTP JSON-RPC API will be exposed on port 3060 (localhost:3060).
- The WebSocket API will be exposed on port 3061 (localhost:3061).
4. Install the script.
Run the following command and download:
sudo bash -c “git clone https://github.com/dknodes/lensDK.git && cd lensDK && chmod ugo+x lensDK.sh && ./lensDK.sh”
2) Stop the Node
3) View Logs
4) Check Node Health
5) Exit
To use the commands, press the appropriate number and then the “enter”.
