Register a machine
Run one line of code to register your machine.
- Testnet
- Mainnet
🌟 Status: Live
🚧 Status: Coming soon
This page details the machine registration process, with video and step-by-step guides.
Prerequisites
- Registered as a provider
- Dedicated machine or virtual machine satisfying the following minimum requirements:
- CPUs or vCPUs: ≥2
- GB RAM: ≥4
- SSD storage: ≥80GB NVMe Storage
- Network bandwidth: ≥1Gbps unlimited
- Uptime: ≥ 99%
- OS: Debian (12+) or Ubuntu (22.04+) installation with Linux kernel 6.1+, updated with the latest security patches
- All traffic allowed on ports:
- UDP 8472
- TCP 10250
- UDP 51820
- UDP 51821
For the incentivized NodeOps Network Testnet, we have dialed down the compute demands as low as possible to enable more of our community to join the Proof of Concept round.
Register a new machine
Step 1. Create a secret identifier
- Get secret
- Show me
Add a machine from our provider dashboard to get a secret identifier for the high-availability Machine you will make available to NodeOps Network Testnet.
Use the "Show me" tab or video if you need assistance.
1.1 From from the provider dashboard click + Add machine
1.2 Select 1 machine and click Continue
Later versions will support multiple machines.
1.3 Click Sign transaction to initiate the compute registration flow.
Remember, you require ETH on Arbitrum’s Sepolia for wallet transactions.
1.4 Click Confirm to call the smart contract.
1.5 Wait while the on-chain procedures initiates.
1.6 Click Sign Setup Transaction to trigger the generation of the secret.
1.7 Click Confirm to formalize the transaction. Notice that the compute instance/s now have a secret.
1.8 Copy the command to run on your machine, store this safely, and click Finish.
1.9 Move to the Pending tab to see your newly-registered compute.
Congratulations, you are now ready to run the command on your machine to link it to NodeOps Network Testnet!
Step 2. Make the compute available
Your machine will remain in "PENDING" status until the command you generated in Step 2 is executed on that machine.
- Link the compute
- Show me
Run the command provided in Step 2 on the Machine you wish to add, this secret identifies it, and then stake to secure the machine.
To view your machines, click on ACTIVE Machine. New machines can take several minutes to display these details.
Use the "Show me" tab or video if you need assistance.
2.1 Open the command line interface on the Machine you wish to add. Copy the command and run it. Wait for the command to finish running.
See the Gotchas if this step fails.
2.2 Upon the command's successful execution, the Machine will be visible under the All tab in the "AWAITING-STAKE" state.
2.3 Continue by clicking "Stake."
2.4 Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
2.5 Your Machine's state changes to "CONFIGURING" and then to "ACTIVE."
Gotchas
Copy error
An error such as cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/atlasnetwork-provider': Permission denied means you didn't create a user account at root for NodeOps Cloud with the correct permissions to run the code.
You can get around this on Ubuntu with sudo. That means:
curl -L https://get.atlasnetwork.dev | sh -s - 9zvmdvJ****Secret*****w9PHZwP
becomes
sudo curl -L https://get.atlasnetwork.dev | sudo sh -s - 9zvmdvJ****Secret*****w9PHZwP
Rejected machines
Your machine will be rejected if:
- It runs workloads in addition to the NodeOps Network assigned loads
- If SWAP is enabled
Next steps
Congratulations! You are providing decentralized compute via the NodeOps Network's Protocol on Arbitrum Testnet.
