Storage Miner
Mining preparation
The OS requirement of the Storage server is as following:
| SPEC | Recommend |
|---|---|
| CPU | ≥ 4 Cores |
| RAM | ≥ 8 GB |
| Storage | ≥ 100 GB SSD |
| NETWORK | ≥ 50 Mbps |
Firewall configuration
ufw allow 4001
Disk mounting (If VPS please skip formatting the hard drive. Go to Install cess-nodeadm)
Check the hard disk status using the df -h command:
df -h
Note: Min 300GB HDD or SSD
The disk is not mounted If the hard drive for storage mining cannot be found. Use the command below to view unmounted hard disks:
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 900 GiB, 214748364800 bytes, 419430400 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x331195d1
The unmounted disk is /dev/sdb in the demonstration above. We will be using /dev/sdb to demonstrate the mounting operation. Allocate the /dev/sdb disk：
fdisk /dev/sdb
Enter and press Enter:
n
p
1
2048
the value after default
w
Format the newly divided disk into ext4 format：
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb
Enter "y" to continue if the system asks to proceed:
Proceed anyway? (y,N) y
Create /cess directory to mount the disk. Using/cess as an example:
mkdir /cess
echo "/dev/sdb /cess ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
Mount /cess :
mount -a
Check the disk mounting status:
df -h
If the "/cess" appers, the disk has been successfully mounted.
Prepare CESS Account
Please refer to the CESS Account section above for creating a CESS account. Please go to the CESS faucet to get TCESS.
Install cess-nodeadm
Option VPS:
mkdir /cess
1. Install

3. Start bucket
cess start
The following should be seen:
[+] Running 3/0
✔ Container chain Running 0.0s
✔ Container bucket Running 0.0s
✔ Container watchtower Running 0.0s
4. Check Chain Sync Status
docker logs -f chain
docker logs -f bucket
5. View bucket status
cess bucket stat
