Node Setup
You can either run a node:
Via deploy to a host in the cloud
On any machine with Docker installed
Prerequisites: Follow these instructions to signup for a Digital Ocean account. You need a Digital Ocean API token. You may export your token as the env var DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN or simply provide it when script asks for it.
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://taraxa.io/one-click-DO.sh)"
Each run of this script will generate a Droplet on Digital Ocean running a Taraxa node. You will receive an email to the address used in your Digital Ocean registration with login credentials. The Taraxa node runs as a docker image.
Step 1: Download the docker-compose.yml file to your machine that has Docker installed.
Step 2: Start the node
docker-compose up
You can also start the node as a detached background service:
docker-compose up -d
To view the logs you then use the docker logs command:
docker logs taraxa-node -f
