People who can use docker containers : here is the automated build for the daemon (node). I will help the network too. The trimmed image based on ubuntu 16.04 takes only 136MB. Running a node at this time need at least 2.2Go free on hard drive to store the blockchain but it will grow. For example, monero blockchain use today 33Go
Seems i ask this with Windozxpert Smiley
Did you have any tutorials for CentOS OS? or this will be same cuz both linux based?
Did you know how many bandwidth used by node ? Should i connect node to other nodes or to "IRD network". How this works ?

docker should be available on centOS (https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/centos), in that case, just run with your right ports.

Code:
docker run -e "TIMEZONE"="Europe/Paris" -p my_local_p2p_port:12007 --p my_local_rpc_port:13007 -e "P2P_BIND_IP"="1.2.3.4 -e "P2P_BIND_PORT"="my_local_p2p_port" -e "P2P_EXTERNAL_PORT"="12007" -e "RPC_BIND_IP"="5.6.7.8 -e "RPC_BIND_PORT"="my_local_rpc_port" -e "LOG_LEVEL"="4" -e "LOG_FILE"="/data/iridium.log" steevebrush/iridiumd-container

look there, it's written : https://hub.docker.com/r/steevebrush/iridiumd-container

about bandwidth : after the download of the blockchain (2,5Go), bandwidth is very low ! a block is discover every 5 minutes at this time. the node connect automatically to others node. the version compiled is the latest with new seeds.

How this works ? simple : the daemon stock the blockchain, share and confirm (or infirme) the validity of a block.
so more nodes = faster validation and safer transactions.

may be a reward can be imagined for people running nodes, it's a community, so why not asking ?

question 1: I have a server and i'm mining with 14 of 16 threads... my question is.. how many threads (cores, don't know how to call it) i have to free, to run a node.. I'm one who ask in the slack/discord to help ird
question 2: that image/docker or whatever, is autoplay? do i have to be a programmer to run the node? (i'm such an ignorant of computing stuff)
