This is the procedure for AIASCoin Masternode Installation. VPS Requirements are:
- 1 vCPU
- 1 GB RAM
- 20 GB Disk
- 1 Fixed Public IP
There are a lot of VPS providers that can feet these requirements (Vultr, DigitalOcean, …). For this procedure, we show how to do with VULTR.
Configure your Vultr VPS
Deploy new server
For deploying new server click on the “+” sign
Select Location of the VPS
You can select any location
Select Server Type
Always Ubuntu 16.04
Select server size
The 5$ one is enough
Select Server Hostname (other options by default)
Select the hostname, later you cant change it, or if you change, the server will be reinstalled
Wait
Wait until the server finishes the installation
After finishing, clicking on the server name, it’s configuration appears
Now you have the IP adress of the server and you can ssh and manage it connecting to his IP. You have the root account and the password on the same screen.
Masternode Installation
Wallet Installation
https://github.com/AIAScoinTechnologies/aiascoin/releases/tag/1.2.0
You can download the latest Linux, Mac or Windows Wallet from this url.
Install Wallet and wait it to sync.
Get AccounAddress for Funding
Open debug console
Execute — >getaccountaddress MN1 (MN1 is the alias you want to give to your masternode)
Fill the Address with the Collateral for the MN (at least 1000 AIAS)
Get Masternode Information
Open debug console again
After the fist transaction has at least 1 confirmation
Execute →masternode outputs
Wait for a while (about 1 min)
Execute →masternode genkey
Save the txhash, the outputidx and the key
Install Masternode Software
Connect to your vps using ssh client.
Execute → wget https://github.com/AIAScoinTechnologies/aiascoin/releases/download/1.2.0/aias_mn_new.sh
Execute →chmod +x aias_mn_new.sh
Execute →./aias_mn_new.sh
Modify masternode.conf file
On the wallet installation path you have the masternode.conf file. Normally on %appdata%\aias (If you havent changed it on installation)
Remove all information of the file and add your masternode info, you got it and saved previously
<alias> <ip>:10721 <private_key> <tx_id> <index>
It will look like
MN1 66.66.33.32:10721 87dCCnDFDdjNlwomdmKKMdkaNIE a3eofJJkdlMLKKokfValmofO 0
Restart the wallet
Open debugconsole again
The result will be like …
Now check on the VPS that the masternode is running correctly
Execute → aias-cli masternode status
Harden VPS
The best option to harden de VPS is to enable the FW
For this, go to vultr configuration page and manage your server and go to settings section
Go to firewall section
And click on manage
Click on Add Firewall Group
By default, the VPS has no FW enabled. We recomend to allow only SSH from your home/Office IP and deny the rest of connections
Change the source to My IP and it will select automatically your IP and click on the + sign
Now you have created the firewall rule to allow ssh traffic from your IP and drop the rest of connections
After that go again to Firewall settings of your VPS and select created Firewall rules.
