Applies to: Individuals with servers, NAS, or other support systems looking to contribute to hiveNet.
How to install
1. Pull the latest docker image:
docker pull hivecomputing/hive-disk:latest
How to use
1. Set up a default configuration:
Create a directory for persistent data and configuration:
mkdir hivedata
sudo chown :4200 hivedata
sudo chmod 775 hivedata
sudo chmod g+s hivedata
Run the following command to generate a
config.yamlfile:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 4443:4443 -p 4001:4001 -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id -v /var/lib/dbus/machine-id:/var/lib/dbus/machine-id -v ${PWD}/hivedata:/home/hive/.hive hivecomputing/hive-disk:latest hive-agent config initThis command will save the configuration in your docker ~/.hive directory.
2. Start the hive-agent Daemon:
Begin contributing storage space by starting the hive-agent daemon. Replace XX with the amount of space in GB (minimum 5 GB):
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 4443:4443 -p 4001:4001 -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id -v /var/lib/dbus/machine-id:/var/lib/dbus/machine-id -v ${PWD}/hivedata:/home/hive/.hive hivecomputing/hive-disk:latest hive-agent contribute XXFollow the authentication instructions in the output, including accessing the challenge URL in a web browser.
Once authenticated, a refresh token will be securely stored in your
~/.hivedirectory, negating the need for future challenges.Upon successful start, you will see a confirmation message indicating your contribution to the hive network.
Note: Ensure that the hive-agent daemon user has appropriate permissions for the specified path. This setup is critical for securing and effectively contributing to the hive network.
Troubleshooting: If you encounter any issues during the setup or operation, ensure that:
The Docker commands are executed correctly.
The user has the necessary permissions.
The network settings are correctly configured for Docker.
