You should have an established private network consisting of at least one requester node.
You should have a new host (physical/virtual machine, cloud instance or docker container) with installed.​
Let's assume that you already have a private network with at least one requester node. You will need to:
Set the token in the Compute.Auth.Token
configuration key
Set the orchestrators IP address in the Compute.Orchestrators
configuration key
Execute bacalhau serve
specifying the node type via --orchestrator
flag
To automate the process using Terraform follow these steps:
Determine the IP address of your requester node
Write a terraform script, which does the following:
Adds a new instance
Installs bacalhau
on it
Launches a compute node
Execute the script
Let's assume you already have all the necessary cloud infrastructure set up with a private network with at least one requester node. In this case, you can add new nodes manually (, , ) or use a tool like to automatically create and add any number of nodes to your network.
Configure terraform for
