Deploying and Managing Nodes for XION

VPS Configuration

For deploying a XION node, String Theory recommends using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) due to its reliability and performance. The suggested configuration is as follows:

Cloud VPS with sufficient CPU and memory
At least 1 TB of SSD storage
Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04

Setting Up the VPS

First, connect to the VPS and update it with the following commands:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install curl git wget jq -y

Install Docker

Install Docker, which is required for running XION nodes:

sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -y
curl -fsSL <https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg> | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] <https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu> $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce -y
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker

Install Docker Compose

Next, install Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "<https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$>(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version
