DevNet CDN PoP Node Setup Guide

1. Register for Notifications

• Fill out the registration form to be notified when the binary is released.

2. After the Binary is Released

a) Prepare the Server

Update your system and install necessary packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install curl ufw -y

b) Create Directories and Download Binary

• Create the directory:

  sudo mkdir -p /opt/dcdn

• Download the node binary:

  sudo curl -L "<URL_BINARY>" -o /opt/dcdn/dcdnd

• Download the management tool:

  sudo curl -L "<URL_PIPE_TOOL>" -o /opt/dcdn/pipe-tool

• Grant execute permissions to the files:

  sudo chmod +x /opt/dcdn/dcdnd
  sudo chmod +x /opt/dcdn/pipe-tool

3. Log In and Create Tokens

a) Log In to Create Access Token

Run the following command to log in:

/opt/dcdn/pipe-tool login --node-registry-url="https://rpc.pipedev.network"

• After a successful login, the credentials.json file will be created at ~/.permissionless.

b) Create the Registration Token

Run the command to create the Registration Token:

/opt/dcdn/pipe-tool generate-registration-token --node-registry-url="https://rpc.pipedev.network"

• The registration_token.json file will be saved at ~/.permissionless.

4. Configure the System Service (systemd)

a) Create the Service File

Create the service file at /etc/systemd/system/dcdnd.service:

sudo cat > /etc/systemd/system/dcdnd.service << 'EOF'
[Unit]
Description=DCDN Node Service
After=network.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/dcdn/dcdnd \
    --grpc-server-url=0.0.0.0:8002 \
    --http-server-url=0.0.0.0:8003 \
    --node-registry-url="https://rpc.pipedev.network" \
    --cache-max-capacity-mb=1024 \
    --credentials-dir=/root/.permissionless \
    --allow-origin=*

Restart=always
RestartSec=5
LimitNOFILE=65536
LimitNPROC=4096
WorkingDirectory=/opt/dcdn

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

b) Open Necessary Ports

Open the required ports:

sudo ufw allow 8002/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8003/tcp
sudo ufw reload

c) Start the Service

• Reload and enable the service:

  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo systemctl enable dcdnd
  sudo systemctl start dcdnd

5. Manage Wallet

a) Create a New Wallet

Run the following command to create a new wallet:

/opt/dcdn/pipe-tool generate-wallet --node-registry-url="https://rpc.pipedev.network"

• Backup the secret key and recovery phrase (12 words).

b) Link an Existing Wallet

Link the wallet using the public key:

/opt/dcdn/pipe-tool link-wallet --node-registry-url="https://rpc.pipedev.network" --public-key="<PUBLIC_KEY>"
