Having successfully set up my SPK claim node (process outlined here) I decided to take the opportunity to set up a DUAT claim node too.
DUAT is the Ragnarok claim token which you will be able to use to convert to Ragnarok NFTs, I think at some point in the future, at least I don't think you can claim them now.
Unlike the SPK claim which is released, and has to be claimed monthly, the DUAT tokens were all dropped at once, based on your Hive stake at the same time as the SPK snapshot was taken (about three months ago now I think), so there is a lot of it floating about waiting to be traded, so I thought I may as well set up a node to take advantage of any fees on said potential trades.
You can run the DUAT node on the same server, and with the same command (once everything is set up) as the SPK node - so it's rational to run both at the same time given that it costs the same to keep the server up and running!
Not that the returns currently cover the server fees, even with two nodes up and running rather than just the one, but you never know what the future holds!
Setting up the DUAT node
Once I'd got the SPK node up, setting up the DUAT node to run in parallel was very easy, especially with a bit of prompting from who had just done the same!
TLDR - Simply follow the instructions here!
- I had to halt my spk node
- I had to deploy the DUAT docker into a separate directory to the spk node (by default they are called honeycomb and honeycomb-spkcc, I kept the names). For this I needed a new DNS on my domain (same main domain), and a new key pair but I used the same Hive account as for the spk node (
).
- Then I needed to configure the set up for multiple nodes - basically in the root directory just cut and paste some code from the instructions to conform to your own details.
- Modify the NGINX so it covers both domains.
- Then just run and....
Well, it just worked!
So I'm now the proud owner of a server which runs TWO nodes!
Next steps...
Hmmm I may as well set up a DLUX node too seeing as I got room on the server....
Or maybe I should take some time to figure out what I'm doing first rather than just copying and pasting stuff I don't understand into a terminal!
