RE: Call for steem seed nodes!
An 8GB instance with SSD should be more than enough. An m3.large (~$100 USD monthly on-demand, or $69 USD/mo with a 1 year commit (-29%)) should be ideal with its 32GB instance store. (You may have to issue some additional commands in addition to those below to make sure the local SSD instance store is formatted and mounted on /var/lib/docker.)
Simply run the following on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv \
--keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 \
--recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
echo "deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-xenial main" |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual
sudo apt-get install -y docker-engine
sudo service docker start
sudo docker run -d -p 2001:2001 -p 8090:8090 --restart unless-stopped \
--name steemd steemit/steem:stable
With these exact commands you should have a steem p2p node up and running. Don't forget to open the ports in your security group.
To watch it synchronize, run:
sudo docker logs -f steemd
At that price what is the motivation to run one of these? Kind of lost here, have it setup and running just seems like a zero sum game.
Ouch, yeah, looks like that had higher requirements than I thought.
It would be cool if a node could be run on a Raspberry Pi. XD
I agree, but even the beefiest rPIs have only 1GB of ram AFAIR. Also, there are sadly still some x86-isms in the code. I've actually tried building (works) and running (doesn't work) steemd on a Pi 3 Model B (in theory it should work with a low memory build and lots of swapping).
