Install Docker

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-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

docker version

Install Docker-Compose

VER=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/"$VER"/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

docker-compose --version

Docker Permission to User

sudo groupadd docker

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Download the official Solv node repository :

git clone https://github.com/solv-protocol/solv-node
cd solv-node

Build the Solv validator node using the provided Dockerfile :

docker build -t solv-validator .

After the build is complete, initialize your node :

docker run -d --name solv-validator solv-validator

You’ll need to configure your node to act as a validator. Edit the configuration file to include your validator name, public key, and other necessary details.

Edit the Configuration:

nano config/validator.json

Replace the placeholders with your validator name, public key, and other settings. Ensure the file is correctly formatted.

Start the Validator:

docker run --name solv-validator -d -v /your/local/path:/config solv-validator --validator

Now that your node is running, you need to stake SOLV tokens to officially become a validator.

Obtain Your Validator Address: Run the following command to get your validator address:

docker exec solv-validator solv-cli get-validator-address

Stake Your SOLV Tokens: Transfer the required amount of SOLV tokens to your validator address using Solv’s staking interface or CLI.

Use the following commands to check your node’s status and logs :

docker logs solv-validator

For real-time status:

docker exec solv-validator solv-cli status

Secure Your Node

Enable Firewall:

sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow 26656/tcp
sudo ufw enable

Set Up Monitoring Tools: Tools like Prometheus and Grafana can be used to monitor your node’s performance and ensure everything runs smoothly.
