Install on a node

Requirements:

• Have a 32-bit ECDSA signing key (in hexadecimal format) ready

• Recommended system specifications:

  • 50gb storage, preferably SSD
  • dual-core 2 GHz processor
  • 8gb ram
  • 10mbps download
  • Ubuntu Server Linux

• Minimum system specifications (for testing):

  • 8gb storage
  • 1 CPU (~2GHz)
  • 1gb ram
  • 1mbps download
  • Any debian-based Linux

DISCLAIMER: This has only been tested in Ubuntu Server Linux running in AWS

Pro-tips:

• Use the AWS EC2 t2.micro with Ubuntu Server Linux if you want to test the node installation process. This should meet the minimum system requirements.

• Use the AWS EC2 t2.large with Ubuntu Server Linux if you want to launch a long-term node that will be ready to re-use when Quible mainnet is launched.

Installation: CloudFormation

Follow these instructions for an easy almost-one-click setup process that will handle most of the provisioning process required.

Before you launch your stack, be sure to read the requirements as outlined in this document. Before you can completely launch your stack, you will have to provide some parameters, such as what type of EC2 instance (either t2.micro or t2.large) as well as providing the ECDSA signing key for the node.

RECOMMENDED: Create/upload an SSH EC2 KeyPair in your AWS Console before launching the stack. This will make it easier to access the instance, and troubleshoot your installation. You will need to select an existing KeyPair when launching your stack.

Installation: Manual

Follow these instructions after you’ve provisioned an EC2 instance and you have sufficient SSH access to the machine.

To start an install, run this command:

bash -c "$(curl https://quible-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/install.sh)"

Additionally, with Amazon EC2, you will need to create a custom security group for your EC2. Configure the security group to allow traffic over ports 9013 and 9014.
