Cess-Storage-Node

CESS is a project dedicated to developing a blockchain-based distributed cloud storage system. The emphasis lies in delivering reliable and efficient distributed storage services through adept management of resources using virtualization technology.

Prepare Before Install Storage-Node

• Install Wallet extension Subwallet in chrome

• https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/subwallet-polkadot-wallet/onhogfjeacnfoofkfgppdlbmlmnplgbn

• Create two wallets

• Wallet-1 for signature & staking/claim faucet (don't forget to save pharse/mnemonic)

• Wallet-2 for reward address (don't forget to save pharse/mnemonic)

• Note: Store the address cess wallet-1 & wallet-2 prefix cX. (see picture below)

• Claim faucet minimum 4100 (There are two ways to get a faucet.)

• Step 1. Claim by web 100 faucet (Paste address, email, code verify email) pero kailangan mo ng 41 days to get 4100 test token so proceed to step 2.

• https://cess.network/faucet.html

• Step 2. Send your address to discord cess, tell the mods you want to run node storage. if they asking how much TB u have just reply fuck off HAHA (I have 2 TB and am willing to contribute.)

• https://discord.com/invite/cess

Note: Need niyo muna ng TCESS testnet token before running the node.

Install Cess Node Storage on Ubuntu-Linux (VPS)

• 1.Update package & install wget, tar

  apt update && apt install wget tar -y

  2.Install docker (If you haven't already, but if you have, just skip)

  sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -y
  curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
  echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)   
  stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
  sudo apt update
  apt-cache policy docker-ce
  sudo apt install docker-ce -y

  3.Install cess client

   wget https://github.com/CESSProject/cess-nodeadm/archive/v0.6.0.tar.gz
   tar -xvzf v0.6.0.tar.gz
   cd cess-nodeadm-0.6.0/
   ./install.sh

• 4.Setup running network to testnet

  cess profile testnet

• 5.Setup config

   cess config set

Here are the questions for the setup, just follow below.

• Enter cess node mode from 'authority/storage/rpcnode' (current: authority, press enter to skip): storage

• Enter cess storage listener port (current: 15001, press enter to skip): (enter only)

• Start configuring the endpoint to access Storage-Miner from the internet

• Try to get your extranet IP …

• Your Storage-Miner endpoint is http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:15001 Do you need to automatically detect extranet address as endpoint? (y/n) y

• Enter cess rpc ws-url (current: local-chain, to use an external chain, type WS-URL directly, or press enter to skip):

  wss://testnet-rpc.cess.cloud/ws/

• Enter cess storage earnings account: "cX..(Enter your reward address, wallet-2)"

• Enter cess storage signature account phrase: "(Enter your mnemonic, wallet-1)"

• Enter cess storage disk path (default: /opt/cess/storage/disk): (enter only)

• The directory: /opt/cess/storage/disk does not exist, do you need to create it for you? (y/n) y

• Enter cess storage space, by GB unit (current: 300, press enter to skip): "250 (adjust your storage size)"

• Enter the number of CPU cores used for mining; Your CPU cores are 4

• (current: 0, 0 means all cores are used; press enter to skip): 4

• Enter the staking account if you use one account to stake multiple nodes (if it is the same as the signature account, press enter to skip): (enter only)

• Enter the TEE worker endpoints if you have any (separate multiple values with commas, press enter to skip): (enter only)

If you see 'Set configurations successfully,' your setup is working.

• 6.Start CESS storage node

  cess start

• 7.Check CESS Chain Sync Status (sync block may be 1-2 days)

  docker logs chain

• 8.View storage node status (wait for the copy block to complete)

  cess miner stat

DONE

Running Storage node is incentives.
