Running an ODIN Node in the Cloud
You may prefer to employ a virtual private server (VPS) from one of the major cloud providers. VPSs offer a handful of possible benefits over a PC or SOHO server, such as reliability and scalability. If you opt to use a VPS, here is the recommended configuration:
- 2 vCPUs
- 4 GB memory
- 20 GB storage space
- Debian 10 (Buster)
After initializing the instance, there are a few basic steps to setting up Docker, which we've included here for convenience:
- 1.Update the system.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade - 2.Install prerequisite software.
sudo apt install git docker docker-compose - 3.Enable the docker service within systemd.
sudo systemctl enable docker. - 4.Add your user to the docker group.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USERMake sure to log out and back in for this change to apply.
Once you've completed these steps, you are ready to get into the instructions below.
