Deploying and Managing Nodes for 0G

VPS Configuration

To deploy a 0G node, String Theory recommends using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) for reliability and performance. They suggest the following configuration:

• Cloud VPS 4
• 1.6 TB storage
• Ubuntu 22.04

Setting Up the VPS

Connect to the VPS and update it with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install git unzip wget snapd lz4 make -y
timedatectl set-timezone UTC

Installing Go

Download and install Go:

wget <https://golang.org/dl/go1.21.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz>
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.21.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sed -i '$ a export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
go version

Installation of the 0G Command Terminal

Clone the 0G repository and install the command terminal:

git clone -b v0.1.0 <https://github.com/0glabs/0g-chain.git>
cd 0g-chain/networks/testnet
./install.sh
source ~/.profile

Verify the installation:

0gchaind --help

Set the Chain ID:

0gchaind config chain-id zgtendermint_16600-1
