This guide will walk you through the following steps:
Creating a Virtual Machine in the cloud with a cloud provider you prefer, and
Connecting the Humanode Launcher to Virtual Machine.
If you already have a VM, then skip the Creating a Virtual Machine in the Cloud section and go straight to #connecting-the-humanode-launcher-to-virtual-machine.
To create a Virtual Machine in the cloud, follow the guidelines of your preferred cloud provider.
You can use Amazon AWS, Google GCP, Azure, Hetzner, Scaleway, DigitalOcean, or any other cloud.
Note that currently, validators receive $25 if they complete 84 epochs so choose the cloud provider accordingly.
When prompted about what OS to install, choose Ubuntu 20.04.
After you've created a VM, you can press Start Remotely.
On this page, you'll see input fields for entering the parameters of your remote VM.
The standard SSH connection parameters that are given to you by the cloud provider usually look like this:
where
user is the username (typically root for our case), and
host is the IP address or domain name to connect to.
Use those parameters to fill in your host and username.
For instance, with a connection string ssh root@51.15.107.249, the inputs should look as follows:
After you press Connect, the app will establish the connection to your VM.
Upon successful connection, the installation process will begin.
Now on the launcher screen, Choose the Mainnet chain and click Install to initiate the installation process
The installation will take a few minutes.
