The media node operator can register a new node and provide functions to monitor and manage its status.

The steps for registering and starting a new node:

  1. The node operator logs into the node dashboard with their Web3 wallet.

  2. The operator stakes a certain amount of VLT through the node dashboard (Reward > Deposit).

  3. The staking transaction is recorded on the blockchain.

  4. The media node is launched with a generated Node ID and Secret key parameter, and started using a docker command.

  5. The node requests validation to ensure it is in a launchable state.

  6. The node queries the blockchain for its current status.

  7. The status value of the media node is retrieved from the blockchain.

  8. The node's status is updated to a launchable state on the blockchain through a transaction.

  9. The node is checked for launchability by the validator and started if it is deemed launchable.

Media Node command example

The description of the main parameters is as follows:

  • -name vloc-node: Specifies the container name as vloc-node.

  • -network host: Specifies the network in host mode since media communication uses a wide UDP range.

  • -e: Specifies the environment variables to be used in the container. NODE_ID: ID for media node operation. SECRET_KEY: Private key for media node operation.

  • -d: Runs the container in the background. 905794167859.dkr.ecr.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/vloc-node:latest: AWS ECR endpoint address for the docker image used to run the media node.

The recommended specifications for media nodes are as follows:

  • CPU: 16 cores

  • RAM: 32GB Network

  • Bandwidth: Dedicated 500 Mbps

  • OS: Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04)
