Sɛnea wɔyɛ Zebra wɔ Akash Network so
Anamɔn-anamɔn akwankyerɛ a wɔde bedi dwuma a wɔde Zebra Zcash full node bedi dwuma Akash Console na ɛwɔ hɔ.
Nea Woreyɛ Deploying
Zebra node a edi mũ a ɛbɛma:
-> Sync Zcash blockchain no nyinaa (100GB + ma mainnet, ~ 40GB ma testnet)
-> Ɛka bɛyɛ $15/ɔsram a egyina AKT token bo so
-> Gye nnɔnhwerew pii kosi nna pii na ama ayɛ sync koraa
-> Fa vCPU 4, 16GB RAM, 350GB akoraeɛ (mainnet) anaa 2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, 50GB (testnet) di dwuma
Nea ɛho hia: Hyɛn Gyinabea Ho Mfoniniyɛ wɔ Akash
Sɛ woda port bi adi wɔ Akash so (e.g., port 8233 ma Zebra P2P) a, ENNYƐ saa port pɔtee no wɔ ɔdemafoɔ no baguam IP so. Mmom, ɔdemafoɔ no de random high port (te sɛ 31234 anaa 42567) ma na ɔde reverse-proxies kɔ wo container no port 8233.
Eyi nam design so - providers run deployments pii, na sɛ obiara bɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔde port 8233 bedi dwuma tẽẽ a, anka wobenya ntawntawdi.
Nea eyi kyerɛ ma wo:
-> Wo hyehyɛ port 8233 wɔ SDL (Zebra gyinapɛn P2P hyɛn gyinabea) .
-> Akash ma wo URI te sɛ provider.com:31234 .
-> Zcash nodes afoforo kɔ wo nkyɛn wɔ provider.com:31234
-> Wo container no mu no, Zebra da so ara tie wɔ 8233 so
Wɔdi eyi ho dwuma ara kwa. Fa URI a Akash de ma wo no di dwuma kɛkɛ.
Nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wodi kan yɛ
- Keplr Wallet wɔde brawsa ntrɛwmu ahyɛ mu (Chrome/Brave/Firefox)
- AKT tokens - Nya 50-100 AKT fi nsakrae bi mu (Coinbase, Kraken, Osmosis)
- Simma 5 na wobɛkyere afa Console UI no so
Anamɔn 1: Fa Wo Sikakorabea no Bata Ho
-> Go to https://console.akash.network
-> Klik "Connect Wallet" wɔ atifi nifa so
-> Paw Keplr (anaasɛ Cosmos sika kotoku a wopɛ) .
-> pene nkitahodi no so bere a Keplr pue
Ɛsɛ sɛ wo AKT balance no pue wɔ soro nifa so. Sɛ ɛyɛ zero a, kɔ kan kɔ fund wo sika kotoku no.
Anamɔn 2: Yɛ Deployment
-> Klik "Deploy" bɔtn (bɔn kɛse bruu, kratafa no mfinimfini)
-> Paw "Si wo template" (anaasɛ twa tẽẽ kɔ SDL a wode bɛto so)
Ɔkwan A: Fa SDL Fael (Wɔkamfo kyerɛ) .
Ɔkwan B: Fa SDL Editor di dwuma
Sɛ wopɛ sɛ wode nsa hyɛ mu a SDL no:
-> Kɔpi zebra-akash.yml mu nsɛm no.
-> Fa hyɛ SDL editor no mu
-> Sesa sɛnea ɛho hia (hwɛ nhyehyeɛ ɔfa a ɛwɔ aseɛ ha)
-> Klik "Bɔ Deployment" so.
Anamɔn 3: Hwɛ na pene Deposit so
Console no bɛkyerɛ wo:
-> Deployment deposit: ~5 AKT (wonya eyi san bere a woato deployment no mu)
-> Ɛka a wɔabu ho akontaa: Egyina wo SDL bo so
Klik "Approve" na fa wo nsa hyɛ asɛm no ase wɔ Keplr mu.
Anamɔn 4: Paw Ɔdemafo
~ 30 seconds akyi no, wubehu bids a efi providers hɔ. Bid biara kyerɛ sɛ:
-> Boɔ a wɔbɔ wɔ block biara ho (wɔ AKT anaa USDC mu)
-> Ɔsram biara sika a wɔabu ho akontaa
-> Ɔdemafo ho nsɛm (bere a wɔde yɛ adwuma, ɔmantam, ne nea ɛkeka ho)
Npaw nea ne bo yɛ mmerɛw kɛkɛ. Hwɛ:
-> Uptime % ( botaeɛ ne sɛ > 95%) .
-> Region (ɛbɛn wo = latency a eye, nanso ɛnyɛ hwee kɛse mma blockchain nodes)
-> Audited tebea (green checkmark = ahotoso kɛse) .
Klik "Accept Bid" wɔ wo provider a woapaw no so na hyɛ Keplr mu.
Anamɔn 5: Twɛn Deployment
Console no bɛyɛ:
-> Yɛ lease no ne wo provider a woapaw no
-> Send manifest (ɛkyerɛ nea ɔde ma no nea ɛsɛ sɛ wotu mmirika) .
-> Fi ase wo container no
Eyi gye simma 1-2. Wobɛhunu status updates wɔ UI no mu.
Anamɔn 6: Hwɛ sɛ Ɛretu mmirika
Sɛ wɔde di dwuma wie a, wubehu sɛ:
-> Services tab: Kyerɛ wo zebra som a ɛwɔ tebea
-> Logs tab: Nkwammoaa mu nsɛm a wɔakyerɛw
-> Leases tab: Nsɛm a ɛfa wo deployment ho (DSEQ, provider, ɛka)
Hwɛ Logs no mu
Klik Logs so na ɛsɛ sɛ wuhu sɛ Zebra refi ase:

Anamɔn 7: Nya Wo Node no Address
Klik Leases tab no so, afei URIs.
Wubehu biribi te sɛ:
Code-highlight

Eyi ne wo node no public P2P endpoint. Zcash nodes afoforo bɛka wo ho wɔ saa address yi so.
Hyɛ port mapping no nsow: Wo hyehyɛɛ port 8233 wɔ SDL no mu, nanso Akash de maa ɔmanfoɔ port soronko (31234 wɔ nhwɛsoɔ yi mu). Eyi yɛ ade a ɛyɛ daa - hwɛ "Port Mapping on Akash" ɔfa a ɛwɔ soro hɔ sɛ eyi ma wo adwene tu fra a. Wo node no yɛ nea wobetumi akɔ so wɔ port biara a Akash kyerɛ wɔ ha, ɛnyɛ 8233 ankasa.
Sɛ wo ma RPC (wɔakyerɛw ho asɛm default wɔ SDL no mu) a, wobɛsan nso ahu RPC awiei wɔ ha a ɛwɔ n’ankasa map port.
