Spheron Node

This guide walks you through setting up a Worker Node on the Spheron Network using a Virtual Private Server (VPS).

System Requirements

  • RAM: 8 GB
  • CPU: 4 cores
  • Disk Space: 100 GB

Registration Process

  1. Register via Spheron Network and sign up using either your email or GitHub account.
  2. Connect with your wallet.
  3. Click “Register Node Fizz.” to begin the registration process.
  4. Choose your OS, allocate resources, select your region, and choose your node provider along with the appropriate tier.
  5. Claim your faucet tokens to get started.
  6. Download the setup script fizzup.sh, to your local machine.

Moving fizzup.sh to Your VPS

  1. On your local machine, open the script using nano:
nano fizzup.sh

  1. After reviewing the script, press Ctrl + X, then press Y to save the changes, and hit Enter to exit.

  2. Now, copy and transfer the file to your VPS using a secure file transfer method such as scp:

scp fizzup.sh your_username@your_vps_ip:/root

Installation Steps

1. Install Docker (Skip if Docker is already installed)

To set up Docker, use the following commands:

Terminal window
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg


echo \
  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null


sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y


sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose


# Verify Docker installation
docker --version

2. Install Script

After transferring the fizzup.sh setup script to your VPS, execute the following commands to install the node:

Terminal window
chmod +x /root/fizzup.sh && ./fizzup.sh
