Semi-technical person - how to operate a node?

Hi r/cardano,

I would like to give operating a cardano node a shot before Shelley releases. My idea is to use a cloud server (AWS) to run it on rather than my own machine.

I have some experience in programming, but I am having great trouble with figuring out how to get it running. For starters, from what I understand NixOS is not supported on AWS so I would use Debian instead?

I have tried understanding the documentation on https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node, but with little success. Is there a resource that simplifies the process or a guide that is not highly-technical?

I want to use this process as a learning tool, not just for the end product of running a node, but it seems that my knowledge is below entry-level required to make the github documentation useful. Any advice appreciated.

[Guide] Setting up a Monero full node on Tails

When should you use this guide Connecting to a third party remote node is not an option (threat model, agency, etc.) You are not able to host a private .onion remote node outside of Tails (with e.g. PiNode-XMR ) Running Qubes+Whonix is not an option This guide does not require setting up a root password or making changes to the firewall. For instructions on how to set up a wallet on Tails with a remote node, visit: http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion/tails What you will need 1 SSF USB (Tails+Blockchain) OR a regular USB (Tails) + external SSD (Blockchain) Corsair Flash Voyager GTX (CMFVYGTX3C-128GB) Sandisk Extreme PRO (SDCZ880-128G-G46) Samsung Portable SSD T5 A computer with at least 4 GB of RAM and an USB 3.0 port Some technical competence The device that stores the blockchain should have a capacity of at least 100 GB. Using the specs above and a recent processor syncing will take on the order of 15 - 30 hours. This will work with regular USB flash storage, but...

Monero node on an external HDD?

Do we need to use a 64+ GB USB 3.0 flash drive to download the monero node through tails or can we just download the monero node on Windows, store it on an external hard drive then just access it through tails with the monero GUI? My computer doesn't even support USB 3.0, and still stuck on 2.0 ports on an old gaming laptop, so I don't see a good reason to drop $50 just to have a secure monero wallet when I already have plenty of hard drives and space. I do boot windows from an SSD but don't really have 50gb to spare for a wallet. submitted by /u/waitwaitwaitup [link] [comments] via Monero: the secure, private, untraceable currency https://ift.tt/317KTeY
