So I have just started my PIRL masternode and want to share my experience with community.
There are some things not mentioned in official manual, but you have to do it on order to make everything work properly. I would not speak about Pirl Poseidon things as everything is clear with official manual.
Lets start from VPS part.
Some details you have to do in order to run your pirl MN in proper way.
At first ssh your VPS and execute:

Quote

>adduser pirl

then make random password for pirl user and write it somewhere

Quote

>adduser pirl sudo
>su pirl

just to change user you working under

Next:

Quote

> cd /home/pirl
>wget http://release.pirl.io/downloads/masternode/linux/pirl
>chmod 777 pirl

Next we need to make PIRL masternode run on system startup:

Quote

>nano pirl-env

Next paste this into opened NANO text editor:

Quote

MASTERNODE="MN Token"
TOKEN="Dashboard Token"

Then CTRL+O, then CTRL+X

Then we need to add startup script:

Quote

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pirl.service

Paste here:

Quote

[Unit]
Description=PIRL Masternode Service
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/home/pirl/pirl-env
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/pirl/pirl
User=pirl
Group=sudo
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then CTRL+O, then CTRL+X.

adding the pirl user to a group named sudo is not needed(and may not even exists on some boxes).
people are reporting having to add the user to wheel from this tutorial which is a bad idea.

Please edit to say

change "adduser pirl sudo" to "adduser pirl"

and change in the service config
change "Group=sudo" to "Group=pirl"
