Setup an IoTeX Node on DigitalOcean
Founded as an open-source project in 2017, IoTeX envisions bringing together people, processes, data and things with trust and free will to create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity. Our platform, serving as the global trust backbone for intelligently and efficiently connecting distinct parties, is built from scratch by former tech leads from Google, Facebook, Uber, Intel, Bosch, and is based our innovations in blockchain, identity, confidential computing on the edge.
IoTeX blockchain (https://iotexscan.io) runs Roll-DPoS consensus and everyone can join the network! Here is the instruction regarding how to set up such a node using digitalocean droplet.
- Create a droplet like usual, $15/mo should suffice to run the current IoTeX Node.
2. Once ssh into your droplet, run the following to install docker since all components for an IoTeX node is dockerized. Note that the docker installed in your droplet is running already with a root privilege since droplet is defaulted to use the root user.
