Set Up a DePHY Node

1. Preparation Before Initial Boot

• Power adapter

• HDMI cable

• Monitor

• Keyboard

2. Connect the Node

• Connect the HDMI cable to the monitor and the node

• Plug in the power adapter to the node

• The device will typically boot automatically when the power is connected. If it does not boot, press the round power button on the front panel to start it.

Sample outup while logging in

While typing in the password, it's normal when the password doesn't appear on the screen. It's hidden for security reason.

4. Network Configuration After Login

Wifi Configuration

If you are using a cable to connect your node, please skip this step check the below Ethernet Connection step.

Use the following command to connect to Wi-Fi by replacing your real SSID and password:

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "YourSSID" password "YourPassword"

Ethernet Connection

If you don't have a network cable connecting your node, please check the above Wifi Configuration guide.

For most cases, a wired connection should automatically assign an IP address when the cable is connected. However, it is not confirmed if this device is pre-configured for automatic DHCP.

5. Check the IP Address

After configuring the network, use the following command to check the device’s IP address:

ip address

IP showed under the wlan0 section

6. Setting Up SSH Terminal for Command Convenience

To easily copy and paste commands, connect to the device via an SSH terminal using tools like Putty or Termius.

Configure the terminal with the device’s IP address and log in using:

ID: admin

Password: admin

7. Execute the Following Command After Login

Replace {replace with your Solana address} with your real Solana address:

docker run --restart always --network host --name worker --volume $HOME/data:/opt/dephy-worker/data -d dephyio/dephy-testnet2-worker --owner-solana-address {replace with your Solana address} && sudo docker logs -f --tail 10 worker

Sample output after typing the command

8. Check Registration Status

After confirming your owner address, visit https://status.dephy.app/ to verify if your worker has been successfully registered.

Note: It may take a few minutes to appear on the website.
