Self-Hosting
If you want to install and host your node on your own server. Use the information below to get started.
Self-hosting requires technical knowledge of how to provision, configure an access a linux server and perform basic command line operations.
Minimum System Requirements
The performance requirements for operating a node may vary and will depend on specific workloads and configurations you operate on your node. The following are recommended minimum server requirements for installation:
- Server with linux-based operating system
- 1 GB Memory (or higher)
- 20 GB File Storage (or higher)
- A fast, reliable and always-on internet connection.
Installation on a personal computer or laptop is NOT recommended. Node operators are responsible for maintaining their node which may require additional resources above the minimum installation requirements.
Installation Steps
Use the following steps to install your Trust Node or Nano Node. During the installation, you will be prompted for your email address and activation key. An activation key can be obtained from the licenses page within the community portal.
1. Log into your server
Access your server (using SSH or your preferred access method). Ensure you have a terminal prompt where you can enter commands. It's recommended that you run commands from the home directory of the "root" user.
2. Run the Trust Node or Nano Node Installer
Run one of the following commands in your terminal. This will download and execute the installation shell script for your node type.
bash <(curl -s https://mainnet-tsc.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/node/linux/install-trust.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://mainnet-tsc.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/node/linux/install-nano.sh)
3. Enter your email
When prompted, enter the email address associated with your Trusted Smart Chain account.
4. Enter your activation key
When prompted, enter your activation key. Your key can be obtained from the licenses page.
Your activation key is used for authentication only. If you own multiple licenses, you may use ANY of your license keys as a valid activation key and may use the same activation key for all of your nodes.
Node Installation Complete
After entering your activation key, you should receive a message that your node has been activated and started as a system service. If you see the message, then Congratulations! Your node is now active.
If you have multiple node licenses, repeat the installation steps on each of your additional node servers.
