Setup Bootstrap nodes for TestNet #38

Open BrendanBenshoof opened 9 years ago

BrendanBenshoof commented 9 years ago

We are hitting the point where we need a test network to debug further. (any maybe start on some example usage applications) To do so we need to establish 5-6 computers that can run as "bootstrap" nodes.

I plan on providing at least 2 of these nodes (my dedicated vps and apollo.cs.gsu.edu)

Volunteering a server would involve committing to keeping it running and updating it as we should expect bugfixes incoming.

Happy to volunteer my VPS and a Raspberry PI on my home network. I'd like to test running the code on it as well as test running behind a NAT.

Do you have a dns record you can point at the vps? I'm considering if setting a node up with DNS not a bad first pass test for the criteria I want for the bootstrap nodes. (my two will be apollo.cs.gsu.edu and envy.blamestross.com)

Not yet. I'm thinking of spinning up a VPS using Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/) on a different continent because they're cheaper than my current provider and because I'm not comfortable using my existing VPS as a test environment. Curious on your thoughts on adding latency to the network in this fashion.

I should be able to keep byblos as a running node.

BrendanBenshoof commented 9 years ago

@nwautomator I'm in favor of adding such latency! it would add useful testing info (and might reveal issues/bugs)

I can provide dns subdomains on blamestross.com to anybody who does not have it already.

@abrosen byblos is already set up with a domain (byblos.cs.gsu.edu). it looks like they are setting up DNS records automatically.
