set up a server

Server requirement: 2 CPU, 8G Mem, 150-200G SSD, Fast network connection. 

Install docker etc.

Assuming you use Ubuntu.

Login as root

sudo bash

Install docker

snap install docker

Start IoTeX NODE

Please follow iotex bootstrap guide here: https://github.com/iotexproject/iotex-bootstrap#join-mainnet

You use manual setup or use the one-line upgrader to get your node started.

Monitor

I highly recommend a web based log viewer https://github.com/amir20/dozzle

By simply running

docker run --name dozzle -d --volume=/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 8888:8080 amir20/dozzle:latest

You can visit logs from HTTP://host:8888 for your docker logs.

Check your height

You can visit HTTP://host:8080/metrics to see some metrics of your node.
