⚠️

This guide won't work out so well for absolutely new users. You should go through the New Validator Companion Guide and setup a node manually before you attempt the quick version.

Server Prep

For full details on how to prep your first server from your provider, see our Server Prep section first.

  • ✔️ A new Ubuntu 20.04LTS server
    • ✔️ Login as a user account with sudoless root access or run and install as root -Digital Ocean Admins: Use the User Data section from our main guide to do this automatically! -Other Providers Admins: Use the Any Other Provider Guide on how to edit your sudoers file or give access via groups.
    • ✔️ Volume Support -If you have one large disk, you're good to go. -Digital Ocean Auto Mounted Volumes will be detected and used for installation storage. -Other Providers: Mount your volume as a folder inside /mnt and it will be detected automatically and used for installation storage.
