1. First of all, 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:
• 2 vCPU Cores
• 4 GB RAM
• 60 GB NVMe or SSD
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.
4. Install the script.
Run the following command and download:
sudo git clone https://github.com/dknodes/blockmesh.git && cd blockmesh && sudo chmod +x blockmesh.sh && sudo ./blockmesh.sh
Command 2 — View Logs: allows you to view the node’s operation logs.
Command 3 — Restart Node: restasrt the node.
Command 4 — Stop Node: safely stop the node service.
Command 5 — Start Node: start the node.
Command 6 — View account: shows the current account details used for authentication.
Command 7 — Change Account: lets you update the account details used for the node.
Command 0 — Exit: closes the menu.
To use the commands, press the appropriate number and then the “enter”.
Example Usage: Installing the Node
Step 1: Select Install/Update Node.
You will be prompted to register on the Blockmesh website and enter your account details.
2. Check and Install Docker and Docker Compose.
The script checks for Docker and Docker Compose, installing them if they’re not already on your system.
3. Enter your email and password.
Afterward, the node will be installed and launched through Docker.
4. View Logs.
To confirm that the node has successfully authorized, select command 2 from the menu.
5. Monitor Node’s activity.
Go to the Blockmesh Dashboard to monitor your node’s activity. On the dashboard, check the points that your node is mining, allowing you to track its performance and rewards.
