💠 Which VPS should I use? 💠 How do I install it?
💠 Which VPS should I use? 📌 I recommend purchasing the Contabo VPS-3 or VPS-4 as these are perfect for running this node.
🌟 VPS (Virtual Private Server) 🌟 You can buy it from: 🔶 Contabo (Use the link below if you have a Credit or Debit Card) 🔷 Link: Contabo If not, use VPSDIME: 🔶 VPSDIME (Pay with Crypto) 🔷 Link: VPSDIME
⚡ Purchase the suitable VPS and then access your VPS using a MOBILE SSH App (if you're on iPhone/Android) or use Putty (PC).
💠 How do I install it?
🌟 Storage Node Deployment Guide 🌟 🔶 Install Rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

🔶 Set variables:

INPUT YOUR OWN JSON-RPC ENDPOINT (http://yourvpsip:8545/) OR USE THIS ENDPOINT:
https://rpc-testnet.0g.ai/

read -p "Enter json-rpc: " BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT && echo "Current json-rpc: $BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT" &&
ENR_ADDRESS=$(wget -qO- eth0.me)
echo "export ENR_ADDRESS=${ENR_ADDRESS}" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export ZGS_LOG_DIR="$HOME/0g-storage-node/run/log"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export ZGS_LOG_SYNC_BLOCK="802"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export LOG_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="0x8873cc79c5b3b5666535C825205C9a128B1D75F1"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export MINE_CONTRACT="0x85F6722319538A805ED5733c5F4882d96F1C7384"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT=\"$BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT\"" >> ~/.bash_profile

source ~/.bash_profile

echo -e "\n\033[31mCHECK YOUR STORAGE NODE VARIABLES\033[0m\n\nLOG_CONTRACT_ADDRESS: $LOG_CONTRACT_ADDRESS\nMINE_CONTRACT: $MINE_CONTRACT\nZGS_LOG_SYNC_BLOCK: $ZGS_LOG_SYNC_BLOCK\nBLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT: $BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT\n\n"

📌 Verify the JSON-RPC sync to ensure it’s at the latest block:

curl -s -X POST $BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_ENDPOINT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' | jq -r '.result' | xargs printf "%d\n"

🔶 Download binary:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/0glabs/0g-storage-node.git
cd $HOME/0g-storage-node
git fetch
git checkout tags/v0.3.3 --force
git submodule update --init
sudo apt install cargo
cargo build --release

🔶 Export wallet private key:

0gchaind keys unsafe-export-eth-key $WALLET

🔶 Save your private key in a variable:

read -sp "Enter your private key: " PRIVATE_KEY && echo

🔶 Update node configuration:

🔶 Create service:

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/zgs.service > /dev/null <<EOF

Description=ZGS Node
After=network.target

[Service]
User=$USER

🔶 Start the Node:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
sudo systemctl enable zgs && \
sudo systemctl start zgs && \
sudo systemctl status zgs

🔶 Check full logs:

tail -f ~/0g-storage-node/run/log/zgs.log.$(TZ=UTC date +%Y-%m-%d)

🔶 tx_seq-only logs:

tail -f ~/0g-storage-node/run/log/zgs.log.$(TZ=UTC date +%Y-%m-%d) | grep tx_seq:

📌 Wait until it syncs to the latest tx_seq number on the OG Storage Scan 🔷 Link: Storage Scan
Useful commands:
🔶 Delete the Storage-node:

sudo systemctl stop zgs
sudo systemctl disable zgs
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/zgs.service
rm -rf $HOME/0g-storage-node
