Official FluxNode Setup Guide 

Excellent Tutorial! Easy to follow and well put together. I have my first Cumulus up and running. Thank you!

Flawless tutorial! Thanks so much!

Wow. Super super helpful. Thank you for putting this together!

I was able to do mine but I am very technical. I do not understand why this has to be so complicated for regular crypto enthusiast who own enough Flux for any node size. Why not a simple windows installer with the option to run a wizard, enter your wallet and collateral info, run benchmark, check port and done. All with a GUI and simple steps instead of this super long complicated process...

Why was this OLD video re-release... looks like only few minor changes .. the contabo VPS was removed with a list of other, but the flux amount was not corrected for new nodes and the amount you can gain for Cumulus drop down to like $55 and still dropping, soon it will be pointless if the price for Flux remain low .. anyways great detailed video ..

I had a bit of a struggle here and there but it finally worked. I initially had just 2 cores then I realized I need 4 and for the benchmark I had to extend the logical volume.

Great video, between this and the Medium post the node setup will be a lot easier to perform and understand.👍

Love to see goose still at it!

❤️‍🔥🧚‍♀️ Ty!! 🦋🐞

The installer has now been simplified. If you follow the medium guide its easier to copy and paste the commands as well. Not sure why they re-uploaded this old vid to make it more confusing.

Great video thank you, I have a really hard time to get node running again after a power outage or internet outage. Do you know the best way to get the node back up and running again? Do you have the steps?

Thanks for the detailed video! My node is now up and running and confirmed! One issue: everything works accept for the very final step in the video - when I use ZelID to login to the Flux web Dashboard I get logged into a random Flux Node. I get a different random node each time I log in, but never my node.

Hi thanks for the great video! Please advise what should I do if on the step 2 (Install Flux node) it reads "Something is not right the daemon did not start or still loading" and "Error: you must specify a zelnodeprivkey in the configuration", although I inserted all the keys according to your video. I've closed the session, btw, wouldn't it hurt the process? My node has already started, too

Sick, currently building an epyc system for just nodes.

very helpful tutorial. can i use only use hdd not ssd to hosting my fluxnode?

this is so much better than that garbage posted on medium. Thank you!

do you have an updated video with the new requirements?

Is there a video on how to set up a computer to run a node? I have a mini computer that meets the requirements of a Cumulus node that I would like to run 24/7.

Having benchmark issues right now. Looked at the specs required for the cumulus, can't see what's wrong. Anybody have any ideas or resources I can use to follow up on? Posted this same question on another video so forgive the redundancy

Hi! Quick question: Does fluxOS support mining? I have 7 slot mobo which I also want to use for flux node setup. Can I mine and run a node simultaneously? Thanks for answers.

Hi, can you make a video about setting up multiple node on one server pls? Thank you, there is some guys who has already made it but it doesn't work (and he has not shown that is working) thank you.

I've already installed the node, how do I get back to the part to enable alerts now?

When i install the docker - option 1 I got an ERROR mesage : OS Version not supported and installation stop. I'm sure im using the correct server version. Pls assist.

The pc, does it have to be on all the time to run the node?

In the requirements what is DWS and EPS?

I give up to set up a node! Always prints that benchmark faild!

Can we setup/host at home which we do not have fixed IP?

Can I follow this guide on a Mac?

WICH VPS DID YOU USE FOR NIMBUS

wich linux distro are you using?

Flux nodes docker support Ubuntu Linux version 2.2 coming?

I run into a problem after I have entered all the id's etc and the software attempts to start daemon and synch the chain, it says it will take about 5 minutes and then nothin happens. After about 20 minutes it just tells me something is not right and it reboots the program. Was wondering if anyone could help. I've reinstalled docker and and fluxnode ( 1 & 2) and get the same result

Nodes wallet isn’t an option to send to what gives?

I have 2 Cumulus nodes up and running, I am trying to add an additional one using upnp (unifi network - usg) and I am getting an error where there is a problem with upnp... anyone had this problem?

On Ubuntu 20.04 zelcore doesnt' show any node to edit.

27:30 your machine only shows 3.8gb RAM but the guides say 8gb ram at least for ARM64. So can you run a node on 4GB?

I am having problems with installing flux on RPI 4. When Fluxnode is installed it says that mongoDB is not installed. ubuntu 20.04.5...is mongoDB supported in this release. How can I fix this?

I am made an attempt to add another FluxNode to my Zelcore wallet but I am unable to see it in My FluxNodes. Can someone help please. I see the FluxNodes locked in Scholarship but I am unable to get that added to My FluxNodes. I can't even unlock to send to a different wallet to see if it can automatically create a new FluxNode.

🚨 ERROR: OS version Ubuntu - jammy not supported Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is the recommended OS version .. please re-image and retry installation 🚨 Installation stopped... I tryed everything, I installed all version possible, how can I solve it?

I have been syncing the blocks to my Contabo VPS for over 48 hours.... it's only 80% done now... does anybody experience the same issue?

I'm following this step-by-step, except I did not purchase the FLUX yet, because I wanted to confirm that I could set up the node first. I got to the step where I need to get the key from Zelcore, but my node does not appear in the list as in the video. Is this because I don't have any FLUX in my wallet? Can you help please?

I am wanting to run a Columbus node. i have a spare 4 core 4 thread processor. Would this be suitable?

"Docker is not working correct or is not installed." Error using WSL using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Can someone tell me in simple English please ( due to the fact that english is not my native language ) and simplifying the tech term : If in order to have a flux node we can do it in a portable device ( laptop) and what ram and all the other "SSD"or othertechnical characteristics are needed?

How many FluxNodes can I have in my zelcore wallet ? Only 5 ?

Do I need raspberry Pi ?for it or I need only VPS hosting server

Τhank you for the video. Is it still Cumulus rewarding 287 USD or this have changed?

how to run kadena global apps?

This is old information, including the old node requirements. Procedure is same, but requirements for new nodes as of March 2022 is far more stringent. A bit disappointed, since this will add confusion to the process.

Lunix kills it for me. :)

At 21:12 (#RUSH) how does Zelcore know you have a node if you haven't finished setting one up yet?

I want to do this but is complicated 😖

I’m too stupid….I ended up staking in CoinMetro 😔

Hello, can anyone help! I have ben trying for days to get my raspberry pi 4 connected. After flux installed I get the flux benchmarks: error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port) Does anyone know what to do from here? what is the fix? Thanks!!!

Reading the comments-----I want a Flux node but it's too complicated to setup. Why not create a simple automatic installer for people like me?

Do I run on Mac OS???

0:43

What’s the total time of install ?rough estimate

Well I transfered 1000 flux to my 'locked' wallet, and it did create a node, but.. a STRATUS one :/ Am I the only one?

Where is 1000 flux Cumulus setup?

Flux Commands to check status: 28:03

Good luck getting support on discord! Get told to open a ticket then wait 10 days... Still no support!

Hardware requirement is not issue. The staking FLUX coins cost too much, thats the issue.

This install video is very disjointed. The steps do not match the current version. There has to be a way to simplify the process. I'm a very technical person, got through the install, but the benchmarks fail. My system exceeds the minimum requirements. I confirmed that the necessary ports are open. Even rebooted the server (local PC) and re-ran the benchmark process. After benchmark finishes, it states that it failed and to check the UI for possible installation problems. I logged into the web interface and can't find anything that shows installation problems. There needs to be a new video that shows ALL steps to set up a node on a PC, not on a VPS. If anyone know of a better video, please reply with the link. Thanks

Hey anyone, did it work?

Failed?

Am i getting this right ? To deploy a flux node, i / you have to buy Flux as collateral in ammount: CUMULUS - 1000 FLUX NIMBUS - 12,500 FLUX STRATUS - 40,000 FLUX Flux is like 1,62$ now so i / you have to pay: CUMULUS - 1000 FLUX x 1,62$ = 1 620$ NIMBUS - 12,500 FLUX x 1,62$ = 20 250$ STRATUS - 40,000 FLUX x 1,62$ = 64 800$ just for starting a node, without hardware cost, VPS rent fees, etc ? As a profitability per month, in fluxos economics dashboard i see: CUMULUS - 53$ NIMBUS - 361$ STRATUS - 2186$ So ROI for only ability to start a CUMULUS node will take like... 30 months ?! o_0 Seriously anybody is getting into this ?

Will pay someone to set up a flux node for me anyone?

🚨 ERROR: OS version Ubuntu - jammy not supported 🚨 AVX CPU instruction set not found and is required to use MongoDB on jammy 🚨 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is the recommended OS version... please re-image and retry installation 🚨 Installation stopped... :D :D :D Two years old OS is not supported? :D After a few months people will start migrate to 24.04LTS, while you not supporting 22.04LTS??? :) Looks very unprofessional.

This is so complicated. I'm too dumb for this

I get zeroes on all benchmarks - cores - 0, ram - 0, ssd - 0 .... no one replies on discord

You will soon leave all the holders of the nodes without any reward if you reduce the amount of reward at such speed. Previously, CUMULOS node had 150 Flux per month. Now it's about 20. Zero is coming soon. And the price of the node has not changed... It is still high. I refused to invest in your project. This is not a serious attitude towards people who have invested in your nodes.

Bullshit, syncing can take 10+hr, bootstrap can take 3hr and up, not counting frozen, unresponsive syncing, if its fail, you have to redo everything again. Its take forever, i have try 10+ time. My vps is meet all requirements for cumulus with 200mb up/down speed. Shitty project.
