Tillered Node Setup ​

Tillered offers flexibility by supporting multiple platforms for node installation. Each platform has unique methods of installation, ranging from virtual private server (VPS) marketplaces to specific VM images that require particular settings. This guide provides an overview of the available platforms and general instructions for setting up Tillered Nodes.

Supported Platforms ​

Tillered Nodes can be installed on the following platforms:

  • Amazon AWS
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Microsoft HyperV
  • VMware ESXi
  • Proxmox

Each platform has its own installation process and requirements, detailed in the respective sections below.

General Node Setup Process ​

Regardless of the platform, the general process for setting up a Tillered Node involves the following steps:

  1. Prepare the Platform: Ensure that your chosen platform is ready for installation. This may involve setting up accounts, provisioning resources, or preparing the environment for the new node.

  2. Download or Access the Tillered Image: Depending on the platform, you may need to download a specific Tillered disk image or access it via a marketplace. Ensure you use the latest version compatible with your platform.

  3. Install the Node: Follow the platform-specific instructions to install the Tillered Node. This includes selecting the appropriate settings, configuring hardware and network options, and ensuring the VM or instance meets Tillered's requirements.

  4. Configure the Node: After installation, configure the node within the platform's interface. This typically involves setting network properties, adjusting security settings, and ensuring the node can communicate with the Tillered network.

  5. Add Node to Tillered Hub: Once the node is installed and configured, it must be added to your Tillered account via the Tillered Hub. This involves selecting the node type (TEN, CEN, or FTN), choosing the appropriate network, and providing necessary identifiers and IP addresses.

Key Considerations ​

  • Network Access: Ensure that the node has appropriate network access, including internet connectivity and proper IP configuration (DHCP or static).
  • Security Settings: Verify that security settings, such as firewall rules and network permissions, are configured to allow necessary communication for the node.
  • Platform Requirements: Each platform may have specific requirements for hardware, software, and network settings. Refer to the detailed installation guides for these specifics.
