This guide will walk you through setting up an ESCO (Escrow-Coin) Masternode on an Ubuntu VPS. The goal of this method is to simplify the overall installation while simulatenously allowing multiple MNs to run on the same VPS.
- Ubuntu 16.04 Virtual Private Server (VPS)
- SSH configuration for accessing server (putty, or terminal apps)
This section will get you started for your initial setup of the VPS for best functionality.
SSH into your VPS and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/cryppwn/EscrowCoinCore_Linux.git
This will create an EscrowCoinCore_Linux directory. Once the download is complete, go into the scripts directory and run some initial configuration scripts. Feel free to review them yourself to understand what they are doing.
cd EscrowCoinCore_Linux/scripts
./update_ubuntu.sh
./install_docker.sh
These commands may take some time, so please be patient. The install_docker script requires manual confirmation of the Docker Engine's apt fingerprint.
TODO ADD SCREENSHOT
At this point, it's probably best to reboot the machine. If you still see messages for security updates being available, feel free to run update_ubuntu.sh again.
TODO I will need to circle back to this, I had previously configured my server and will need to do this again from a blank slate.
