In /cng/ we discuss node, api's, hardware, cloud computing services, and anything else related to node operations. if you want anything added to the op feel free to call me a faggot and let me know.
>FAQ >can i start making linkies right now with my neet node? no. docs.chain.link/docs/becoming-a-chainlink-reviewed-node you must first operate a testnet node for at least 1 week before a review. your node must accept jobs every 10 minutes with no interuptions with a cron job.
>what is a cron job? cron is a utility in linux for time based schedules. this allows you to do request automation. how do you use it? i dont know. i just know what it is. would love to have a sample cron job to put in a pastebin.
>What tiers should I use with cloud providers? I don't know. I am learning. Tell me your findings and I'll add them Here is what my rough findings are Database instance - postgreSQL - amazon db.t3.small ~$30 a month Node instance - google cloud g1-small Geth intance - i dunno trying fiews at the moment. let me know
>How do you use chainlink adapters I dont know. You tell me or when I find out ill add it to here
>why didnt thomas include docker run --restart always into the copy paste run command? i dont know. here it is, assuming you generated a password file. (if it errors out because name in use do docker rm chainlink or whatever you named it. then run this again) cd ~/.chainlink-ropsten && docker run --restart always --name chainlink -p 6688:6688 -v ~/.chainlink-ropsten:/chainlink -it --env-file=.env smartcontract/chainlink local n -p /chainlink/.password -a /chainlink/.api
>how do i set a static ip for my nodes? in aws its called an elastic ip. in google cloud its under vpc network --> external ip addresses
Matthew Thompson
christ. do women even understand what doing shit like this does to a man?
Ryder Morales
>he doesn't know >he thinks he knows how women operate in an even remote manner

Is there a tutorial on how to start a node up using AWS or any cloud platform?
Mason Thomas
not that I know of. right now I have to focus on one cloud platform to get the basics of the tutorial going. maybe eventually I'll add aws in there. Sorry I am just one neet
Angel Bennett
you're looking at about ~$700usd per year which includes: -two t2.micro EC2 instances (one extra on standby for failover) -t2.micro postgresql database with multi availability zones -fiews EaaS (or you could use infura)
Logan Myers
awesome. thanks for the info user
Gavin Ramirez
700$ to run a node? with net profits it, that should be a minuscule amount to pay.
Christopher Hughes
SHUT UP WITH THIS FAILED PROJECTTTTTTT
Mason Morgan
Could I package a runtime for a chainlink node into a lambda layer and allow anyone to easily use lambdas to fulfill requests? Do you reckon the cold start would be a problem? Will speed be a factor in reputation or will it mostly be on playing nice over time and staking lots?
Nathaniel Edwards
tutorial faq updated with your info in it.
Elijah Fisher
>(or you could use infura) Never gonna make it. Infura is shit. Have fun paying high gas fees assuming they aren't having one of their regular unplanned outages.
Lincoln Campbell
There's not much point in running a node when there is basically zero smart contract adoption and thus no demand for the data you're providing

In the context of Chainlink nodes. Cron is one of the available types of initiators. Same as in Linux, Cron is a way to schedule jobs preemptively. Node jobs use JSON formatting and you use the same syntax as Linux on the schedule line.
This is a real problem imo. I'm thinking about creating my own smart contracts right now but I'm a noob at programming.
Joseph Allen
as a link holder i find OFFENSIVE this heterosexual picture
Jason Perez
how do you make it to where it connects up with a contract to ping the node. thats where i am lost
Cooper Cook
You mean automatically through a cron initiator or in general?
Ayden Brown
Was statue user right?
Carson Diaz
both. im literally retarded with that subject
Cameron Diaz
Follow the guide. It'll have you run a ping that you trigger from a smart contract. Setting up the cron job can be confusing. You have to reference a working transaction and copy the hex code into the job while making sure you don't duplicate the transaction header. This is after you replace the original initiator with a cron initiator. Everything you need is in the documentation other than copying the hex code into the dataprefix field of the job, which I just told you how to do. If you can't figure it out from here, you don't deserve to run a node. It'd be a vulnerability to our ecosystem.

Add oracle cloud to the list , 500 in free credits with an email sign up and they’ve recently partnered with Microsoft to offer compatible hybrid workloads between their us datacenters , as if connected.

Jeremiah Brooks
fuck i guess i have more reading to do. im not going to let something stupid like this stop me from running a node.
