Guide to put a remote EN in a VPS server like Vultr or VPS.ag in Ubuntu 16.04 x64

I know that put this in root should be avoided, but don't have time to make users and so on for all the nodes I have.

After looging for the first time in the VPS follow this instructions. VPS is refered to the remote wallet. Controller wallet is the one with your ENT in your computer. If yo have installed masternodes of other coins, this is quite similar, but wording is always eternitynode.

Change default pass for security:

Some simple firewall rules to improve security a bit:


Install the repo:

Wallet first start to create folders and files:

After the error message we create our eternity.conf file:

Write in it and save:


In the controller wallet, open console and:
You get the EN private_key
Associated address to the EN.

Send the collateral (exactly 1000 ENT in one trasaction) to the address generated before.

Back in the VPS:

Put your private_key obtained with enternitynode genkey before in the place XXXX and save.

Then:

In the wallet:
We get the collateral TX_ID and TX_INDEX(0 or 1) (85898ae7956757657ced9689687687a 1 for example)

We open eternitynode.conf in our controller wallet and put a new line as:
Save the file
Close and reopen controller wallet

In VPS, check the wallet is already synced:
And take a look at block number to be sure EN is synced.

Check node creation transaction has already at least 16 confirmations. In the console:


Message : eternitynode succesfully started blablablablabla...

Back in the VPS:

   "status" : "Eternitynode successfully started"

And done. My nodes have the bad habit to fall down every 10-15 days, take a look sometimes to their status with:
