DLT.GREEN Vision

We are a team of individuals from the IOTA community with a vision to create a DNS server for the IOTA/Shimmer ecosystem, aiming to enhance user experience. Here, "DNS" stands for "Dynamic Node Selection." Our objective is to move away from static node usage in wallets towards dynamic selection based on the situation. The era of static nodes within the IOTA/Shimmer ecosystem is coming to an end. Envision never having to worry about the operational status of nodes. Picture IoT devices autonomously selecting nodes tailored to their specific needs; this could be based on factors such as proof of work, event support, trustworthiness, or available access speed. We prioritize direct data traffic between the wallet and the node itself, bypassing the node pool.

DLT.GREEN Automatic Node-Installer for Docker

The DLT.GREEN Node-Installer-Docker provides an easy-to-use script that streamlines the setup of IOTA/Shimmer Nodes (Hornet, Wasp). With Docker running behind the scenes, our installation process is designed to be user-friendly, catering to both novices and seasoned users interested in deploying IOTA/Shimmer nodes on a server or virtual private server (VPS).

Hardware Recommendations

For Standard Nodes

• RAM: 8 GB minimum
• CPU Cores: 4
• Storage: 160 GB SSD minimum
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) or Debian 12 (Bookworm)

For Event-Tracking Nodes or Additional Plugins

• RAM: 16 GB minimum
• CPU Cores: 6+
• Storage: 250 GB SSD minimum
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) or Debian 12 (Bookworm)

Installation Guide

Prerequisites

Before commencing with the installation:

• Ensure you have access to a server or VPS.
• Secure your own domain name. Note: SSL certificates will be generated via Let's Encrypt automatically, but you can also use your own certificate.

Installing Node-Installer

Execute the following command in your console:

sudo wget https://github.com/dlt-green/node-installer-docker/releases/latest/download/node-installer.sh && sudo sh node-installer.sh

Node-Installer with GUI

After running the installer for the first time, it creates an alias accessible at the user level:

dlt.green

Node-Installer Unattended Mode

To run the Node-Installer in unattended mode, use the following syntax with optional flags:

dlt.green [-m mode/optional] [-t time/optional] [-r reboot/optional] [-c checks/optional] [-l logs/optional]

Each flag represents a different configuration option:

• mode: Sets the operation mode of the installer.
  • s: Start all Nodes.
  • 0: Maintenance – Performs system updates, Docker cleanup, and certificate update. Installs Docker if not present.
  • 1: Update – Updates IOTA-Hornet nodes.
  • 2: Update – Updates IOTA-Wasp nodes.
  • 5: Update – Updates Shimmer-Hornet nodes.
  • 6: Update – Updates Shimmer-Wasp nodes.
  • u: Executes Mode 0 and performs unattended recursive Node Updates when possible. Supports the last 10 releases in the GitHub pipeline (older versions are not updated).
  • d: Debugging with output to CLI
• time: Sets the delay in seconds before executing an action (0-20 seconds, default: 10).
• reboot:
  • 0: No reboot after operations.
  • 1: Executes a system reboot (only if necessary) with automatic node shutdown prior to it (default: 0).
• checks:
  • 0: Disables checks (not recommended).
  • 1: Enforces UFW Firewall and Autostart setup (default: 1).
• logs:
  • i: Displays all logs.
  • w: Shows only warnings and errors in logs.
  • e: Shows only errors in logs (default: i).

Utilize these options according to your needs to automate node management tasks efficiently.
