The aim of plebble is to achieve the lowest entry barrier for running a node, by means of algorithm design and efficient coding that run in low-cost hardware.

Options:



Run a node

On a fresh Debian 11 operating system (or Ubuntu 21.10, or Raspberri PI OS) type:

 user@debian:~# wget http://185.224.196.231:16680/downloads/plebble_setup -O plebble_setup; chmod +x plebble_setup; sudo ./plebble_setup 

usable on any distribution based on debian: ubuntu, raspbian, mint.

Supported architectures:

 user@debian:~$ uname -m 

What this script does and troubleshooting

The script will query a number of other nodes for the binaries (blob), this might take a few minutes. Once downloaded the blob it will install it performing the following actions in the operating system:

Some issues have been detected though. While they are fixed please follow the following steps after installing:

Checks:

Running a 2nd node behind the same IPv4 address

The network admits any number of nodes however only 6 of them will participate in consensus and hence will get paid.

This is part of the Sybil protection mechanism.

It is also a way to ensure the network is well distributed geographically. Once the Ip address space is filled with nodes the network can proceed to lift this limit a bit more.

On your 2nd node you must do a bit of manual configuration. Basically the only point of confict are the ports.

While the first node uses ports 166*, the second can use 167*, the 3rd can use 168* and so on. (e.g. port[16672] = slot[166] + lane[72])

The following changes must be done in the file /home/gov/.plebble/config in order to change slot 166 with slot 167

 PSLOT=167 
 UPNPGROOT=16771 
 UPNPGOV=16772 
 UPNPWALLET=16773 
 UPNPHTTP=16780 
 UPNPBIND=16753 
 PPORT=16772 
 WALLET_PPORT=16773 

Restart the system afterwards.
