1. Register to Scaleway

You can use the following link:

​https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/create-your-scaleway-account/​

NOTE: We will use default project to create Taraxa nodes.

2. Create API keys on default project

You can create api keys on this page:

​Scaleway Credentials Page​

The document for generating api keys: https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/generate-api-keys​

Make a note of that key. We will use it in the next step.

3. Creating a Taraxa Node

Then you can download and run the node creation script using this command:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-ops/master/scripts/one-click-Scaleway.sh)"

Now you should see a new droplet in your Scaleway account.

NOTE: It takes a few minutes after the droplet starts to install the Taraxa Node software.

4. Connect to your instance

Where is the SSH key?

• If you have added a SSH public key to your default project via Scaleway console page, the script will use it.

• If you haven't set a public key, the script will generate a new SSH key. You can find the new public key and private key in this directory: ~/.ssh/.

  ls -al .ssh/ | grep "taraxa"

Next, you can login your instance.

5. Check the logs

You can use the following commands to check if the node is up and running:

sudo docker ps
​
sudo docker logs -f taraxa_compose_node_1
