You have to do this after having deployed the CapRover instance, otherwise you won't have access to the VM IP address. + +Let’s say your domain is **example.com** and your subdomain is **subdomain**. You can set **\*.subdomain.example.com** as an A record in your DNS settings to point to the VM IP address of the server hosting the CapRover instance, where **\*** acts as the wildcard. To do this, go to the DNS settings of your domain name registrar, and set a wild card A record entry. + +On your domain name registrar, you can manage your DNS settings as such, with **subdomain** as an example: + +| Record | Host | Value | TTL | +| ------ | ------------- | ------------- | --------- | +| A | @ | VM IP address | Automatic | +| A | subdomain | VM IP address | Automatic | +| A | \*.subdomain | VM IP address | Automatic | + +We note here that **@** is the root domain (@ takes the value of your domain name, e.g. **example** in **example.com**), **subdomain** is the name of your subdomain (it can be anything you want), and **\*.subdomain** is the wildcard for **subdomain**. If you don't want to use a subdomain, but only the domain, you could use a wildcard linked to the domain instead of the subdomain (e.g. put **\*** instead of **\*.subdomain** in the column **Host**). + +Once you've point a wildcard DNS entry to your CapRover IP address and that the DNS is properly propagated, you can click the **Admin Panel** button to access CapRover. This will lead you to the following URL (with **subdomain.example.com** as an example): + +> captain.subdomain.example.com + +Note that, to confirm the DNS propagation, you can use a [DNS lookup tool](https://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx). As an example, you can use the URL **captain.subdomain.example.com** to check if the IP address resolves to the VM IP address. + +### Domain Name Example + +In the following example, we pick ```apps.openly.life``` which is a domain name that will point to the IP address of the CapRover instance (which we only know after deployment). + +![ ](./img/domain_name_caprover_config.png) + +> Note how the *.apps.openly.life points to the public IPv4 address that has been returned from the deployment. + +## How to Know the IP Address + +Go back to your CapRover weblet and go to the deployment list.

We have implemented [K3S](https://k3s.io/), a full-blown Kubernetes offering that uses only half of the memory footprint.

You can either use your own, which we'll call a *custom domain*, or you can get a free subdomain from a gateway node. This won't impact the function of your deployment, it's just a matter of preference. If you want to use your own domain, follow the steps for custom domain wherever you see them below. + +Another choice to make before launching your Nextcloud instance is whether you want to reserve a public IPv4 for the deployment. Renting a public IP is an extra cost and is only required for the dedicated Nextcloud Talk video conferencing backend, recommended for calls with more than four participants. If you don't reserve a public IP, you can still use Talk in a more limited fashion (see the [Talk](#talk) section below for details). + +If you're not sure and just want the easiest, most affordable option, skip the public IP and use a gateway domain. + + + +# Deploy Nextcloud + +* On the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), click on solutions from the sidebar, then click on **Nextcloud** +* Choose a name for your deployment + * Note: You can use the auto-generated name if you want +* Select a capacity package: + * **Minimum**: {cpu: 2, memory: 4gb, diskSize: 50gb } + * **Standard**: {cpu: 2, memory: 8gb, diskSize: 500gb } + * **Recommended**: {cpu: 4, memory: 16gb, diskSize: 1000gb } + * Or choose a **Custom** plan +* If want to reserve a public IPv4 address, click on Network then select **Public IPv4** +* If you want a [dedicated](../deploy/dedicated_machines.md) and/or a certified node, select the corresponding option +* Choose the location of the node + * `Country` + * `Farm Name` +* Select a node +* If you want to use a custom domain, click on **Custom domain** under **Domain Name** and write your domain name + * Example: `nextcloudwebsite.com` +* The **Select gateway** box will be visible whenever a gateway is required. If so, click it and choose a gateway + * If you are also using a custom domain, you must set your DNS record now before proceeding. The IP of the gateway will appear on screen. Check [below](#set-the-dns-record) for more information +* Click **Deploy** + + + +# Nextcloud Setup + +Once the weblet is deployed, the details page will appear. If you are using a custom domain with a public IPv4, you'll need to set your DNS record now using the IP address shown under **Public IPv4**. Again, see [below](#dns-details) for details. + +Before you can access Nextcloud itself, you'll need to decide which addons you want to install and complete a setup step. This is done through the AIO interface that's included with your deployment. To access it, you can visit the **Nextcloud Setup** link shown in the details page, or click on the **Nextcloud Setup** button under **Actions** in the deployments list to set up Nextcloud. + +* Once you have access to the **Nextcloud AIO setup page**, you will be given a password composed of 8 words. + * Use this password to access the **Nextcloud AIO interface page**. + * Store this password somewhere safe. It's only possible to recover it by using SSH. +* On the next page, you can add **Optionals addons** if you want. +* Click on **Download and start containers** to start the Nextcloud instance. +* Once the containers are properly started, you can access the Nextcloud admin login page by clicking **Open your Nextcloud**. + * You will be given an **Initial Nextcloud user name** and an **Initial Nextcloud password**. Use these credentials to log into the admin page. + * Store these credentials somewhere safe. +* Later, if you want to access the Nextcloud admin login page, you can simply click on the button **Open Nextcloud** under **Actions** in the deployment list. + +The installation is now complete and you have access to your Nextcloud instance. + + + +# DNS Details + +## DNS Record with Public IPv4 + +After deployment, you will have access to the IPv4 address of the VM you deployed on. You will need to add a **DNS A record** (Host: "@", Value: ) to your domain to access Nextcloud. This record type indicates the IP address of a given domain. + +## DNS Record with Gateway + +Before starting the deployment, you will need to add a **DNS A record** (Host: "@", Value: ) to your domain. The gateway IP will be shown to you when you select this option. + +## DNS Propagation + +When setting your own custom domain, it might take time for DNS to propagate. It is possible that you see the following message when opening the Nextcloud page: + +>"This site can't be reached. DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem." + +This is normal. You might simply need to wait for the DNS to propagate completely. + + + +# Talk + +If you don't rent a public IP with your deployement, it's still possible to use Nextcloud Talk in a more limited fashion. It's generally understood that this method can work well for up to four participants in a call, and text chat also works without restriction. For larger calls, the dedicated backend, which requires a public IP, is recommended. + +While some calls can go entirely peer-to-peer and don't require any setup beyond installing the Talk app, a TURN server can be helpful to relay data when a peer-to-peer connection can't be established. There's more information on TURN servers after the install instructions. + +## Install Talk + +To install Talk, do the following: + +* Open the dropdown menu at the top right of the Nextcloud page +* Click on **Apps** +* In the left-side menu, select **Social & communication** +* Scroll down and locate the Talk app +* Click on **Download and enable** + +Once the Talk app is downloaded and enabled, you can find its icon at the top bar menu. + +## TURN + +As mentioned before, TURN servers relay data to help call participants connect to each other. All data sent to TURN server is encrypted in this case, so it's perfectly safe to use a free public server. + +That said, such free servers are not common, because relaying video chat uses a lot of bandwidth. As of the time of writing, Open Relay Project is one example that includes [instructions for use with Nextcloud Talk](https://www.metered.ca/tools/openrelay/#turn-server-for-nextcloud-talk). + +TURN server configuration can be found by opening the Talk settings, like this: + +* Open the dropdown menu at the top right of the Nextcloud page +* Click on **Personal settings** +* In the left-side menu, select **Talk** + +## Use Talk + +Once you've installed Talk and optionally added a TURN server, you can use Talk to create video conferences. + +Note that the host of the video meeting might need to turn the VPN off before creating a new conversation. + + + +# Backups and Updates + +## Create a Backup + +In the section **Backup and restore**, you can set a [BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) of your Nextcloud instance. + +* Add a mount point and a directory name for your backup (e.g. **/mnt/backup**) and click **Submit backup location**. +* After the creation of the backup location, write down the **encryption password for backups** somewhere safe and offline. +* Click **Create backup** to create a BorgBackup of your Nextcloud instance. + * This will stop all containers, run the backup container and create the backup. +* Once the backup is complete, you can click on **Start containers** to restart the Nextcloud instance. + +## Automatic Backups and Updates + +After the first manual backup of your Nextcloud instance is complete, you can set automatic backups and updates. + +* In the section **Backup and restore**, open the dropdown menu **Click here to reveal all backup options**. +* In the section **Daily backup and automatic updates**, choose a time for your daily backup and click **Submit backup time**. + * To set automatic updates, make sure that the option **Automatically update all containers, the mastercontainer and on** is selected. + + + +# Troubleshooting + +## Retrieve the Nextcloud AIO Password + +You can retrieve the Nextcloud AIO password (8 words) by writing the following command line on the VM hosting your Nextcloud instance: + +``` +cat /mnt/data/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer/_data/data/configuration.json | grep password +``` + +## Access the Nextcloud Interface Page + +To access the Nextcloud interface page, follow those stepse + +* Open your Nextcloud instance +* In the top right Profile menu, select **Administration Settings** +* Under **Nextcloud All-in-One**, click **Open Nextcloud AIO Interface** + + + +## Check the DNS Propagation + +You can check if the DNS records are propagated globally with DNS propagation check services such as [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/).

Nodes, farms, users are registered on the chain. It plays the central role in achieving decentralised consensus between a user and Node to deploy a certain workload. A contract can be created on the chain that is essentially an agreement between a node and user. + +## Twins + +A twin is the central Identity object that is used for every entity that lives on the grid. A twin optionally has an IPV6 planetary network address which can be used for communication between twins no matter of the location they are in. A twin is coupled to a private/public keypair on chain. This keypair can hold TFT on TF Chain. + +## Farms + +A farm must be created before a Node can be booted. Every farms needs to have an unique name and is linked to the Twin that creates the farm. Once a farm is created, a unique ID is generated. This ID can be used to provide to the boot image of a Node. + +## Nodes + +When a node is booted for the first time, it registers itself on the chain and a unique identity is generated for this Node. + +## Node Contract + +A node contract is a contract between a user and a Node to deploy a certain workload. The contract is specified as following: + +``` +{ + "contract_id": auto generated, + "node_id": unique id of the node, + "deployment_data": some additional deployment data + "deployment_hash": hash of the deployment definition signed by the user + "public_ips": number of public ips to attach to the deployment contract +} +``` + +We don't save the raw workload definition on the chain but only a hash of the definition. After the contract is created, the user must send the raw deployment to the specified node in the contract. He can find where to send this data by looking up the Node's twin and contacting that twin over the planetary network. + +## Rent Contract + +A rent contract is also a contract between a user and a Node, but instead of being able to reserve a part of the node's capacity, the full capacity is rented. Once a rent contract is created on a Node by a user, only this user can deploy node contracts on this specific node. A discount of 50% is given if a the user wishes to rent the full capacity of a node by creating a rent contract. All node contracts deployed on a node where a user has a rent contract are free of use expect for the public ip's which can be added on a node contract. + +## Name Contract + +A name contract is a contract that specifies a unique name to be used on the grid's webgateways. Once a name contract is created, this name can be used as and entrypoint for an application on the grid. + +## Contract billing + +Every contract is billed every 1 hour on the chain, the amount that is due is deducted from the user's wallet every 24 hours or when the user cancels his contract. The total amount acrued in those 24 hours gets send to following destinations: + +- 10% goes to the threefold foundation +- 5% goes to staking pool wallet (to be implemented in a later phase) +- 50% goes to certified sales channel +- 35% TFT gets burned + +See [pricing](../../../knowledge_base/cloud/pricing/pricing.md) for more information on how the cost for a contract is calculated. + +## Contract locking + +To not overload the chain with transfer events and others we choose to lock the amount due for a contract every hour and after 24 hours unlock the amount and deduct it in one go. This lock is saved on a user's account, if the user has multiple contracts the locked amount will be stacked. + +## Contract grace period + +When the owner of a contract runs out funds on his wallet to pay for his deployment, the contract goes in to a Grace Period state. The deployment, whatever that might be, will be unaccessible during this period to the user. When the wallet is funded with TFT again, the contract goes back to a normal operating state. If the grace period runs out (by default 2 weeks) the user's deployment and data will be deleted from the node. + +## DAO + +See [DAO](../../dashboard/tfchain/tf_dao.md) for more information on the DAO on TF Chain. + +## Farming Policies + +See [farming_policies](farming_policies.md) for more information on the farming policies on TF Chain. + +## Node Connection price + +A connection price is set to every new Node that boots on the Grid. This connection price influences the amount of TFT farmed in a period. The connection price set on a node is permanent. The DAO can propose the increase / decrease of the connection price. At the time of writing the connection price is set to $ 0.08. When the DAO proposes a connection price and the vote is passed, new nodes will attach to the new connection price. + +## Node Certifiers + +Node certifiers are entities who are allowed to set a node's certification level to `Certified`. The DAO can propose to add / remove entities that can certify nodes. This is usefull for allowing approved resellers of Threefold nodes to mark nodes as Certified. A certified node farms 25% more tokens than `Diy` a node. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/documentation/faq/faq.md b/collections/documentation/faq/faq.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..511c34d --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/documentation/faq/faq.md @@ -0,0 +1,2480 @@ +

They help to make data available and to manage load. + +3Nodes store workloads data and can report on their state to the TF Grid and to middlewares. + + +### What is the difference between Internet capacity and connectivity? Does ThreeFold replace my Internet service provider (ISP)? + +In simple terms, the Internet is composed of both capacity and connectivity. Capacity is where the data and resources are being handled, for example in servers. Connectivity is the infrastructure that transfer data and resources between servers. The latter is linked to the typical Internet service provider (ISP). + +ThreeFold’s technology enables distributed capacity generation, but ThreeFold doesn’t deal in connectivity. +3nodes offer Internet capacity, but farmers still rely on connectivity provider like the usual Internet service provider (ISP). + +### What are the priorities of ThreeFold (the Three P of ThreeFold)? ThreeFold is a Planet first project, what does it mean? + +ThreeFold is working for the Planet, the People and Profit, in this very order of importance. Planet comes first as it is our home to us all. A humane enterprise always has people before profit, and serious entrepreneurs know profit cannot be left out of the equation of a thriving project. + + +### I want to help build the new Internet. How can I become a ThreeFold certified 3node partner? + +Apply [here](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php?dispatch=companies.apply_for_vendor) to become a ThreeFold certified 3node partner. + + + +### How can I create a twin on the TF Grid? + +There are 2 ways to create a twin: + +You can create a twin via the [ThreeFold Dashboard](../dashboard/wallet_connector.md). + +You can also create a twin via the ThreeFold Connect app. Indeed, a twin is automatically generated while creating a farm. Note that, in this case, the twin will be created on mainnet. + + +## ThreeFold Communication + +### Is there a ThreeFold app for mobile? + +Yes! ThreeFold Connect App (TF Connect App) is available for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jimber.threebotlogin) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threefold-connect/id1459845885). + +You can use this app to create a ThreeFold ID, a ThreeFold Wallet and also a ThreeFold Farm to link all your 3nodes. +The ThreeFold Connect Wallet, with its Stellar payout address, can be used for transactions as well as to receive farming rewards. +The News section gives you the latest information on the fast ThreeFold development and growth. + + +### I want to reach the ThreeFold community. What are ThreeFold social links? + +You can find links to the ThreeFold community at the bottom of the main page of the [ThreeFold website](https://www.threefold.io/). + + +### Could we reach out someone for publishing research work on ThreeFold? + +You can send an email to info@threefold.io for publishing research on ThreeFold. + + +### Who can I write to for a proposal? Where can I send a proposal email for a new partnership opportunity with ThreeFold? + +You can mail your proposal to info@threefold.io or write about your proposal on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/). + + + +### How can I track and follow the progress and development of ThreeFold? + +There are two main places where you can track the progress of ThreeFold. ThreeFold is open source and its developments can be easily tracked on Github. + +* You can read about the ongoing ThreeFold Tech projects [here](https://github.com/orgs/threefoldtech/projects). +* You can read about the ongoing ThreeFold Foundation projects [here](https://github.com/orgs/threefoldfoundation/projects?query=is%3Aopen). + + + +### Why do some forum posts need to be approved? + +The configurations of the ThreeFold forum make so that some posts need approval, depending on where they are posted. Like posting from meta-sections, and some specific sections. + +Also, note that certain posts can automatically get flagged for moderation based on their content. + + + +## The Technology of ThreeFold + +### What is a 3Node? + +It is essentially a single server that makes up a larger network of servers which together form the ThreeFold Grid. Essentially any modern computer can be turned into a 3node (DIY Farming) and you can [buy plug and play 3nodes](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php) as state of the art modern computer. + + + +### What is the difference between a 3node and a ThreeFold farm? + +A 3node is a single server connected to the Grid. Each 3node is linked to a farm. A farm can be composed of multiple 3nodes. + + +### What is Zero-OS from ThreeFold? + +Zero-OS is a stateless and lightweight operating system designed to host anything that runs on Linux, in a decentralized way. Once installed, Zero-OS locks the hardware and dedicates its capacity to the People’s Internet via the ThreeFold Blockchain. + + + +### ThreeFold uses Quantum Safe Storage technology, what does it mean? + +Quantum computers are theoretically capable of doing huge calculations in a short period of time. By this fact alone, it is a great potential threat to future online safety. ThreeFold solves this future problem before it even becomes a reality. Indeed, Zero-os can compress, encrypt, and disperse data across the Grid. + + + +### Quantum Safe File System (QSFS) allows for part of the storage to go down and it can self repair, however it’s still attached to a single VM and a single point of failure. Can a QSFS instance be reattached to another VM to recover it? + +QSFS is built from storage devices which are distributed and decentralized. + +The storage engine is a software running on a VM that can run everywhere. +If the storage engine needs to run on a different VM the config needs to pushed to the new VM. +In short, yes Quantum safe file system (QSFS) can be recovered on a different VM. It is not automated yet on Zero-OS. A video tutorial will be shared soon. + + + + +### Where does the ThreeFold Explorer take its data from? + +The ThreeFold Explorer takes its data from this website: [https://gridproxy.grid.tf/](https://gridproxy.grid.tf/). + +To explore Grid Proxy, you can use Swagger: [https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html](https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html). You will then be able to query the TF Grid and extract data. + +See the next Q&A for more information on Swagger. + + + +### How can I use the Gridproxy to query information on the TF Grid? + +You can go to the Gridproxy Swagger index: [https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html](https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html). + +There you can query information such as information on a 3node. + +For example, asking the Gridproxy for the nodeID 466, you get the following URL: `https://gridproxy.grid.tf/nodes/466`. + +To get specific information, you can add parameters, for example: `https://gridproxy.grid.tf/nodes/466/status`. + +When you know the URL representation of the query, you can simply use the URL directly on a web browser. + + + +### How can I see the stats of the ThreeFold Grid? + +You can go to think link: [https://stats.grid.tf/](https://stats.grid.tf/) to see the stats of the ThreeFold Grid. + +You can also check this [thread](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-utilization-overview/3291/) on the ThreeFold forum. + + +### What is the difference between a seed phrase (mnemonics) and an HEX secret? + +A seed phrase (also called mnemonics) is a set of words from a carefully selected pool that can be used to derive cryptographic secrets. A HEX secret is a more direct representation of such secret that the computer uses. In the case of an HEX secret, there is no extra information present to form complete words of the seed phrase. + +In typical usage, multiple secrets can be derived from a seed phrase via a one-way operation. The secret and its derived public key are sufficient to do any cryptographic operation like signing transactions or encrypting data, but it can't be used to get back the words of the seed phrase. + + + +## Buying and Transacting TFT + + +### How long does it take when you use the BSC-Stellar Bridge? + +The bridge will process deposits/withdrawals within 48 hours. + + + +### On my website, users can donate TFT on the Stellar Chain. Is there a way for users on my website to easily track the total sum of TFT donated? + +There is a simple way to do this. The [Stellar Explorer](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public) has an embeddable widget that you can insert on any website, including WordPress. + +Simply go to the account you’re interested in showing the balance of, look for “Balance History”, select TFT, and finally click the small icon next to the heading to reveal the embed code. In your WordPress page editor, in HTML mode, paste the embed code. + + +## TF Connect App, TF Dashboard, GraphQL, Grix Proxy and Polkadot Substrate + +### Is there a way to create or import another wallet in TF Connect App? + +The TF Connect App supports Stellar and TF Chain wallets. The app by default can create one wallet. To add any number of additional wallets, you must create a wallet on Stellar or TF Chain and then import it with the import function. + + + +### I created a farm on the TF Chain. On the TF Connect App Farmer Migration section, my farm is under Other v3 farms, is this normal? + +Yes this is normal. Farms created on TF Chain instead of the TF Connect App will appear in *Other v3 farms*. + + + +### I am trying to access my wallet in the ThreeFold Connect App. It worked fine before, but now I just get a white screen. What does it mean and what can I do? + +On the TF Connect App, when you get a white screen, it means that there is a connection issue. It can help to try other networks; maybe try switching between ethernet cable or wifi. Or you can also try it later when the connection might be more stable. + + + +### When I open the ThreeFold Connect App, I get the error: Error in initialization in Flagsmith. How can I fix this issue? + +To fix this Flagsmith error message on the ThreeFold Connect app, you can try the following methods: + +* Check your internet connection +* Update your phone current operating system (OS) version +* Update the date and time on your phone + + +### Apart form the ThreeFold Connect App Wallet, how can I check my TFT balance? + +You can go on [Stellar.Expert](https://stellar.expert). With your wallet address, you will be able to see your transactions and wallet details. + + + +### Is it possible to export the transaction history of a wallet to a CSV file? + +Yes, every blockchain has an explorer function and these explorer functions allow you to see transactions and export them. TFT is on 2 chains at the moment: Stellar and Polkadot. + +For Stellar based TFT’s there is an explorer here: https://stellar.expert/explorer/public. Enter you wallet address in the top left search box, and after pressing enter you should see every transaction related to your account. + +If you are not deploying/doing things on the TF Grid (dev, test or mainnet) you will not have transferred any tokens to the TF Chain, therefore all your tokens/wallets will be on the Stellar Chain. + + +### How can I use GraphQl to find information on the ThreeFold Grid? + +To find information on the ThreeFold Grid with GraphQL, go to this [link](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql). On the left menu, choose the parameters you want to search and write the necessary information, if needed, then click on the Play button in the middle section, at the top. + +Here's an example of a query, where we want to find all the farms containing "duck" in their name. + +query MyQuery { + farms(where: {name_contains: "duck"}) { + name + farmID + } +} + +This code can be written automatically if you simply select the proper parameters in the left menu. +For the previous example, we had to click on "farms", then "where", and then "name_contains". After clicking on "name_contains", you need to add the words you are looking for, in this example we had "duck". Further down the menu, we simply had to click on "farmID" and "name", and then click the Play button. The results of the query appear on the right screen. + + + +### What are the different links to ThreeFold's Graph QL depending on the network? + +The links for the Development, Test and Main Networks are the following: + +* Main Net Graph QL + * [https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql) +* Test Net Graph QL + * [https://graphql.test.grid.tf/graphql](https://graphql.test.grid.tf/graphql) +* Dev Net Graph QL + * [https://graphql.dev.grid.tf/graphql](https://graphql.dev.grid.tf/graphql) + + + +### How can I find 3Nodes with IPv6 addresses? + +You can use [GraphQL](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql) for such queries. + +Use the following code to search for 3Nodes with IPv6 addresses. +Enter the following code on the middle window and click on the "Play" button. + +``` +query MyQuery { + publicConfigs { + ipv6 + node { + nodeID + } + } +} +``` + +The 3nodes with IPv6 addresses will appear on the right window. + +For more information on how to use Graph QL, read [this Q&A](#how-can-i-use-graphql-to-find-information-on-the-threefold-grid). + + + +### How can I use GraphQL to see contracts on my 3Nodes? + +Go to [ThreeFold's GraphQL](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql) and write the following query: + +``` +query MyQuery { + nodeContracts(where: {state_eq: Created, nodeID_eq: 42}) { + resourcesUsed { + cru + hru + mru + sru + } + contractID + twinID + nodeID + } +} + +``` + +This will show you contracts on the 3Node as well as resources used. You can play with the different parameters. + +How can I see the farm associated with a node? + +``` +query MyQuery { + nodes(where: {nodeID_eq: 57}) { + farmID + nodeID + } +} +``` + + + +### How can I use Grid Proxy to find information on the ThreeFold Grid and 3Nodes? + +To find information on the ThreeFold Grid with GraphQL, you need to write this URL: https://gridproxy.grid.tf/, followed by your specific query. Here's an example if we wanted to see all the available farm on the TF Grid that has "duck" in its name: + +https://gridproxy.grid.tf/farms?name_contains=duck + +The Grid Proxy is appropriate for high volume application. +You can find the parameters to be written in the URL when visiting the [GraphQL explorer](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql). + + + +### Who is hosting GraphQL and Grid Proxy on the ThreeFold Grid? + +GraphQL and Grid Proxy are hosted by ThreeFold for everyone to use. + +Note that it is also possible to run your own instance of those tools. + + + +### What is the difference between uptime, status and power state? + +There are three distinctly named endpoints or fields that exist in the back end systems: + +* Uptime + * number of seconds the node was up, as of it's last uptime report. This is the same on GraphQL and Grid Proxy. +* Status + * this is a field that only exists on the Grid Proxy, which corresponds to whether the node sent an uptime report within the last 40 minutes. +* Power state + * this is a field that only exists on GraphQL, and it's the self reported power state of the node. This only goes to "down" if the node shut itself down at request of the Farmerbot. + + + +### I do not remember the name (ThreeFold 3bot ID) associated with my seed phrase on the ThreeFold Connect app. Can I recover my TF Connect app account with only the seed phrase and not the name (3bot ID) associated with it? + +If you forgot the name associated with your seed phrase on the TF Connect app, you can always create a new identity (ThreeFold 3bot ID) and import your wallet using the old seed phrase. + +Since the Connect App is also used for identity and authentication, you need both the name (3bot ID) and seed phrase to fully recover your account. The wallet is only linked to the seed phrase and not the name (3bot ID). + + +# USERS FAQ + +## TF Grid Functionalities + + +### What are the type of storage available on TF Grid? + +There’s two type of storage that van de used on the TF Grid. + +1. VM which has a virtual disk. The virtual disk is a straightforward volume on a local hard disk. Everything stored on this virtual disk is stored only on this virtual (and thus physical) disk. Delete the VM and the virtual disk and the content is gone. +2. Quantum safe storage. Quantum safe storage uses a “Storage Engine” that parts, compresses, encrypts and then mathematically describes the data. + + +## Deployments on the ThreeFold Grid + + +### Does the ThreeFold Grid charge the total resources rented or it only charges the resources used during deployment? + +Billing is based on how many resources you reserve, not how much you use them. For this reason, it can be a good idea to deploy the minimim resources needed per project. + + + +### Do I pay for Internet traffic while deploying workloads on IPv4, IPv6 or Planetary Network? + +You do pay for internet traffic while deploying on the ThreeFold Grid. It is calculated during deployment and paid with ThreeFold tokens (TFT). + +Note that the private overlay network traffic is not billed. + + + +### What is the monthly cost for an IPv4 or an IPv6 public address on the ThreeFold Grid? + +The cost for an IPv4 public address is around 3$/month (USD). + +For an IPv6 address, there is no cost. + + + +### What are the differences between a container, a micro virtual machine and a full virtual machine (VM)? + +The following is a list of certain features related to containers as well as full and micro virtual machines. + +* Container + * generally designed to run a single application + * doesn't need to include a full operating system + * relies on the kernel of the host system, no hypervisor needed + * isolated from the rest of the host system for security and can be limited in resources used + * examples: on the [Playground](https://playground.grid.tf/), we have [Kubernetes](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_k8s?id=kubernetes) and [Caprover](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_caprover?id=caprover), which are both environments that host containers +* Micro VM + * a container image promoted to run as a VM by pairing with a generic kernel + * more isolated than a container, thus more secure + * generally lighter than a full VM + * can be created from any Docker container image by uploading it to the [TF Hub](https://hub.grid.tf/) + * examples: on the [Playground](https://playground.grid.tf/), we have Ubuntu 20.04, Alpine-3, CentOS-8 and more. +* Full VM + * contains a complete operating system including kernel + * capable of anything that can be done with a Linux server + * compatible with any guides and tutorials written for the same version of the distribution they are running + * normally contains systemd, unlike containers which normally do not + * can load kernel modules or replace the kernel entirely, so has best compatibility + * generally heavier than micro VM + * examples: on the [Playground](https://playground.grid.tf/), we have Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and more + +Note that you can run Kubernetes on a micro VM and you can run a very minimal operating system in a full VM. There are many possibilities when using those technologies. + + + +### What is a 3Node gateway? How can I configure a 3Node as a gateway node? + +A 3Node becomes a gateway when a ThreeFold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/). In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid. + +Note that this process differs from when an IP address that has been added to a farm is deployed with a workload in order for that workload to be accessible on the Internet. + +To configure a 3Node as a gateway node, you need a public IP block from your internet service provider (ISP). + +You can configure a 3Node as a gateway node on the [TF mainnet](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), [TF testnet](https://dashboard.test.grid.tf/) and [TF devnet](https://dashboard.dev.grid.tf/). You thus need to choose the correct TF Dashboard link (main, test, dev). + +To configure a 3Node as a gateway node, follow these steps: + +* Configure your DNS records + * Type: A + * Name: + * Value: + * Type: NS + * Name: _acme-challenge. + * Value: . + * Type: CNAME + * Name: *.. + * Value: + * Type: AAAA + * Name: + * Value: +* Configure your 3Node parameters on the TF Dashboard + * Go to the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) + * Go to the section **Portal** + * Go to the subsection **Farms** + * Choose the 3Node you want to turn into a gateway node and click on **Actions** (Add a public config) on the right + * Enter the necessary information and click **Save** + * IPV4: Enter the IPv4 address of your public IP block + * Gateway: Enter the gateway of your public IP block + * IPV6: Enter the IPv6 address of your public IP block + * Gateway IPV6: Enter the gateway of your public IP block + * Domain: . + +Once this is done, you should see the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the section **PUB** of your 3Node screen. + +To learn more about this process, [watch this great video](https://youtu.be/axvKipK7MQM). + + + +### When connecting remotely with SSH, I get the following error: "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!...". What can I do to fix this? + +If you've already done an SSH connection on your computer, the issue is most probably that the "host key has just been changed". To fix this, try one of those two solutions: + +* Linux and MAC: + * ``` + sudo rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts + ``` +* Windows: + * ``` + rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts + ``` + +To be more specific, you can remove the probematic host: + +* Windows, Linux and MAC: + * ``` + ssh-keygen -R + ``` + +Once this is done, you should be able to SSH into your 3Node deployment. + + + +### How can I remove one host from known_hosts? + +You can write the following command +``` +ssh-keygen -R hostname +``` + +Where hostname would be the IPv4 or IPv6 address for example. +In the case of the ThreeFold Grid, it can also be the Planetary Network address. + + + +### How can I add ThreeFold peers in the Yggdrasil configuration file? + +In the file /etc/yggdrasil.conf, write the following in the "Peers" section: + +``` + Peers: [ + # Threefold Lochrist + tcp://gent01.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent02.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent03.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent04.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent01.test.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent02.test.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent01.dev.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent02.dev.grid.tf:9943 + # GreenEdge + tcp://gw291.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw293.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw294.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw297.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw298.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw299.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw300.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw304.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw306.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw307.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw309.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw313.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw324.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw326.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw327.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw328.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw330.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw331.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw333.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw422.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw423.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw424.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw425.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + ] +``` + + + +### How can I see Yggdrasil/Planetary Network's peers? + +On MAC and Linux, write the following line in the terminal: + +``` +/etc/yggdrasil.conf +``` + +On Windows, one of the two following lines should work: + +``` +%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Yggdrasil\yggdrasil.conf +``` + +``` +C:\ProgramData\Yggdrasil\ +``` + +These are the general location of Yggdrasil.

Will ThreeFold embrace and move towards distributed data chunks or stay with the one deployment, one node model? + +The ThreeFold Grid is basically agnostic when it comes to how you structure your deployment. + +If you want to put all your storage and compute on one node and lose everything if it goes down, you can do so. + +If you want a highly distributed and fault tolerant system with high availability where data is never lost, you can also do so. You could build an architecture with single nodes running single workloads as the building blocks. + +Containerized micro service architectures running on e.g. Kubernetes are basically the way that compute is being "sharded" already in the mainstream of IT, especially at large scales. Such applications fit well on the ThreeFold Grid today, since they account for the possibility that individual nodes may fail. However, many applications aren't built this way and it takes work to adapt them. + +Self driving and self healing IT is one of the core concepts of ThreeFold. What we've built so far is an excellent foundation for making this reality. Some additional features might come into TF Chain and the network itself to enable such features. That being said, a lot is already possible using the existing system. It's just a matter of gluing things together in the right way. + + + +## Tutorials and Guides + + +### What is the minimum amount of TFT to deploy a Presearch node? How can I get a TFT discount when I deploy a Presearch node? + +The minimum amount of TFT that needs to be in your ThreeFold Profile before you can deploy a Presearch node is 2 TFT. But this would not last very long. + +To benefit from the biggest reduction in price (-60%), you need to have a sufficient amount of TFT in your wallet. The TFT is not locked and simply needs to be present in your wallet. + + +For the capacity of a Presearch node, the amount is around 5000 TFT, covering 3 years that the workload could run. + +Note that a Presearch node requires about 3 days to stabilize. + + + + +### Can I use the same seed phrase for my mainnet and testnest accounts? How can I transfer my TFT from mainnet to testnet or vice versa? + +Yes, you can use the same seed phrase for you main and testnet accounts. They will have the same address on each chain but they are really separate accounts. It is much like using the same wallet on Ethereum and BSC for example. + +To transfer your TFT from mainnet to testnet or vice versa, you need to send your TFT to the Stellar chain first. Let's say you want to transfer TFT from the mainnet to the testnet. Here are the steps: + +* Open your mainnet profile on the [mainnet Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), on the left menu, choose Portal and then Swap. Click the button Withdraw. Send your TFTs from the mainnet address to your Stellar address. + +* Open your testnet profile on the [testnet Dashboard](https://dashboard.test.grid.tf/), on the left menu, choose Portal and then Swap. Click the button Deposit. Send your TFTs from your Stellar address to the testnet address. You can use the QR code option to make the transfer. + +To go from testnet to mainnet, simply use the URLs in the opposite order. + +> Note that the fees are of 1 TFT per transfer. + + + +### Do I need a full or micro virtual machine (VM) when I run QSFS, quantum safe file system, on the ThreeFold Grid? + +QSFS can be run on both a full virtual machine or a micro virtual machine (VM). The QSFS is a "mountable" object, like a disk. It's defined in its own block, then specified as a mount within a VM. + + +## Linux, Github, Containers and More + +### Where should I start to learn more about Linux? + +While the [ThreeFold Manual](https://www.manual.grid.tf/) would be a good place to learn about ThreeFold and how to deploy on the TF Grid, to learn specifically about Linux, a good place to start is the [Linux website](https://www.linux.org/). There you will find [many tutorials](https://www.linux.org/forums/#linux-tutorials.122). + +A general advice to learn Linux, and computers in general, is to develop the skill of finding answers by following your natural curiosity: most of the questions have been asked before and answers can be found through search engines. + +Before doing any web search, you can use the resources already on hand in the terminal. For any command, you can try adding `-h` or `--help` for a brief description of what it does and to see some commonly used arguments. Typing `man` and then the command name will bring up a more detailed manual, assuming it exists and is installed (e.g. `man sudo`). + +Some ThreeFold users also point out that using different AI and LLM can be very helpful in the process of learning Linux and computers in general. + + +### How can I clone a single branch of a repository on Github? + +You can clone a single branch of a repository with the following line: + +``` +git clone --single-branch --branch branch_name https://github.com/GITHUB_ACCOUNT/REPOSITORY_NAME +``` + + + +## Grace Period (Status Paused) + +### The status of my deployment is paused, in grace period, how can I resume the deployment? + +When your wallet is running out of TFT to pay for deployments, your deployments will be paused. +To resume your deployments, simply fill up your wallet with more TFT. + + + +### Once I refund my TF wallet, how long does it take for the deployment to resume from grace period? + +It can take around one hour to change the status from "paused" to "ok" and thus for the deployment to resume. + + + +### Can I SSH into my deployments when they are in grace period (i.e. when their status is paused)? + +While in grace period, you might not be able to SSH into your deployment. Refund your wallet to resume deployments. + + + +### How long is the grace period (i.e. when the deployment status is paused)? + +The grace period is 2 weeks. During this period, you can refill your wallet to resume your deployment. + + + +## Terraform + +### Working with Terraform, I get the following error: failed to create contract: ContractIsNotUnique. Is there a fix to this issue? + +This error happens when a contract with the same data is already active. For example, two conflicting contracts are not in the same deployment. You can try to change the data on the main.tf file to make sure it's not a self-conflicting terraform deployment. + + + +### I am working with Terraform. What do I have to write in the file env.tfvars? + +This env.tfvars should look like the following, with the proper content within the quotes: + +> MNEMONICS = "write your seed phrase" +> +> NETWORK = "write the main network" +> +> SSH_KEY = "write your ssh-key" + +Note that this could change based on your specific Terraform deployment. + + + +### I am working with Terraform and I am using the example in Terraform Provider Grid. How can I use the example main.tf file with environment variables? Why am I getting the message Error: account not found, when deploying with Terraform? + +This Q&A is linked with the main.tf file in the [QSFS section of the ThreeFold Tech repository](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid/blob/development/examples/resources/qsfs/main.tf). + +This error happens when you did not properly set your environment variables. +In the main.tf file, add those lines at the top: + +> variable "MNEMONICS" { +> +> type = string +> +> description = "The mnemonic phrase used to generate the seed for the node." +> +> } + +> variable "NETWORK" { +> +> type = string +> +> default = "main" +> +> description = "The network to connect the node to." +> +> } + +> variable "SSH_KEY" { +> +> type = string +> +> } + +Within the file main.tf, set those lines: + +> provider "grid" { +> +> mnemonics = "${var.MNEMONICS}" +> +> network = "${var.NETWORK}" +> +> } + +> env_vars = { +> +> SSH_KEY = "${var.SSH_KEY}" +> +> } + +Note: Make sure that you properly set your variables in the file env.tfvars. + + +## Users Troubleshooting and Error Messages + +### When deploying a virtual machine (VM) on the ThreeFold Grid, I get the following message after trying a full system update and upgrade: GRUB failed to install to the following devices... Is there a fix to this issue? + +When deploying a virtual machine and doing a full system update and upgrade (apt update, apt upgrade), if you get the error: GRUB failed to install to the following devices /dev/vda15, try this to fix it: + +> apt-mark hold grub-efi-amd64-signed + +This should fix the issue. + + +### While deploying on the TF Dashboard, I get the following error :"global workload with the same name exists: conflict". What can I do to fix this issue? + +This error happens if you deployed a workload on the TF Dashboard with the same deployment name of a previous deployment. In general, you can simply refresh the TF Dashboard browser page and/or change the deployment name for a new one. This should fix the issue. + + + +## ThreeFold Connect App + +### TF Connect App is now asking for a 4-digit password (PIN). I don't remember it as I usually use touch or face ID to unlock the app. What can I do? + +When you set up your the app, you are asked a 4-digit password (PIN). After some time, the app will be asking for this PIN when users may have been exclusively using touch/face ID. You can reset it by recovering the account with your seedphrase. + + +### Is there a way to have more than one wallet in TF Connect App? + +Yes, this is perfectly possible. You can have multiple wallets in the TF Connect app. You can have multiple wallets for the Stellar network and multiple wallets for Polkadot Substrate. + +For example, you can create a wallet on the Stellar Blockchain and import it on TF Connect App with the function *Import Wallet*. Just copy the seedphrase and it will be imported in TF Connect App. + +Note: There will not be an automatic function in the app to create a new wallet. You must do it manually. + + + +### What is the difference between 10.x.y.z and 192.168.x.y addresses? + +The addresses 10.x.y.z and 192.168.x.y are on the private network. + +A 10.x.y.z address is just as valid as a 192.168.x.y address for a private network. If all the devices get a 10.x.y.z network, your private network should work properly. But if some of your devices are getting 10.x.y.z addresses while others are getting 192.168.x.y addresses, then you have two conflicting DHCP servers in your network. + + + +# DEVELOPERS FAQ + +## General Information for Developer + +### Does Zero-OS assign private IPv4 addresses to workloads? + +No. Zero-OS will request two IP address from the DHCP. If you only have one physical NIC connected, Zero-OS will assign the second IP address as a virtual device. + + + +### Why does each 3Node server have two IP addresses associated with it? + +Each node has two IP adresses. + +One is for for Zero-OS and one is for for the DMZ (demilitarized zone, sometimes referred to as a perimeter network or screened subnet). This separates public/private traffic from each other. + +Note: Zero-OS will request two IP address from the DHCP. If you only have one physical NIC connected, Zero-OS will assign the second IP address as a virtual device. + +### Can Zero-OS assign public IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to workloads? +Yes it can provide both standard and Yggdrasil connections. + + +### What does MAC mean when it comes to networking? +MAC means *media access control*. It is a unique hardware ID. It helps the network to recognize your machine. It is then, for example, possible to assign a specific and fixed IP address to your hardware. + + + + +### I am a developer looking for a way to automatically convert BSC tokens into TFT. Could you please share tips on how to swap regular tokens into TFT, on backend, without and browser extensions, via any platform API? + +TFT is implemented as a cross-chain asset (BToken) on BSC. + +Swapping via Pancakeswap directly without a browser and extension can be done by calling the Pancakeswap's BSC contract directly. Note that this requires some EVM knowledge on calling contracts. + +TFT is a standard ERC-20 contract, called BEP20 on BSC. You will thus need to call the approved method in the TFT contract to allow Pancakeswap to transfer TFTs from your account. + +The TFT contract allows you to approve a large amount and when Pancakeswap makes the transfer, the TFT will be deducted from the transaction. This will not reset so you will not have to make a call to approve every swap. This will thus save some gas. + + + +## Test Net + +### Can I get some free TFT to test on Test Net + +The TFT on Test Net is real TFT. There are ways to get free TFT to explore Test Net, such as joining the Beta Tester Group. More information [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/join-the-grid-3-0-beta-testers-group/1194/21). + + + +# FARMERS FAQ + +## TFT Farming Basics + +### My Titan is v2.1 and the ThreeFold Grid is v3., what is the distinction? + +Titan v2.1 is the hardware. Before v2.1, there was 2.0. The hardware currently being shipped is the Titan v2.1. + +When you read v3, it refers to the ThreeFold Grid. Titans are now being sent ready for TF Grid v3 so they are being referred to as Titan v3. In short, the current Titans are v2.1 hardware ready for ThreeFold Grid v3. + + + +### When will I receive the farming rewards for my 3Nodes? + +Farming rewards are usually sent around the 8th of each month. This can vary slightly because the verification process is not yet fully automated. + +For more information on the minting process, read the next [QnA](#what-is-the-tft-minting-process-is-it-fully-automated). + + + +### What is the TFT minting process? Is it fully automated? + +Minting is based on blockchain data according to strict rules that are carried out by computers with humans involved only to check for errors and to sign the resulting transactions. + +There is a human verification mechanism through multisignatures for calculations done on the data as stored in the blockchain. This explains the timing differences when it comes to the monthly farming rewards distribution, since enough people need to sign off. + +The detailed minting process for V3 is as follow: + +- TFChain, ThreeFold's blockchain, has all the details about capacity provided by the nodes. +- TFChain is used to track uptime. +- Zero-OS reports to TFChain. +- The code in [this repo](https://github.com/threefoldtech/minting_v3) uses the information from the blockchain to calculate the TFT to be minted. +- A proof of what needs to be minted and why is created. This proof is then sent to our guardians. +- The guardians need to double check the execution and the minting report. This is like a human check on the automated process. +- The guardians need to sign. Only when consensus is achieved the minting as suggested will happen. This allows human to check the code. + +It is important to understant that TFChain tracks the capacity and uptime and is the source for the minting. + +Note: Additional auditing code will be added in V4 (i.e. special code generated at runtime for verification) using security primitives on motherboards. + +For more information on the minting periods, read this [QnA](#what-is-the-start-and-end-of-the-current-minting-period-what-are-the-minting-periods-for-threefold-farming-in-2023). + + + +### What should I do if I did not receive my farming rewards this month? + +If you did not receive your farming rewards, please contact us via our live chats. We will then investigate the situation. + +You can find our live chat option on the TF Connect App ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jimber.threebotlogin&hl=en_CA&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threefold-connect/id1459845885)), the [TF Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/), [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) and the [TF website](https://threefold.io/). +For the TF Connect app, select the Support option. +For the other websites, it is a blue icon on the right bottom part of the page. + +The easiest way to contact the ThreeFold support is to use [this link](https://threefoldfaq.crisp.help/en/) and click on the chat icon. + +### What is the TFT entry price of my 3Node farming rewards? + +Currently, the TFT entry price of the 3Nodes' farming rewards is 8 cents (0.08 USD). + + + +### What is the necessary uptime for a 3Node per period of one month? + +Note that as of now, rewards are proportional to the uptime, so (e.g.) 40% uptime farms 40% of the total uptime period. + +When implemented : For certified Titans 3Nodes, it is 97% uptime per month (21.6h). For DIY 3Nodes, it is 95% uptime per month (36h). For professional certified 3 nodes, it is 99.5% uptime per month (3.6h). + + +### How can I check the uptime of my 3Nodes? Is there a tool to check the uptime of 3Node servers on the ThreeFold Grid? + +You can go on the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), and select "Farms" in the Portal menu. When you select a specific 3Node in your farm, you can see a visual graph of the 3Node's uptime of the last month. By clicking on "Node Statistics", you can see past and present uptime periods. + + + +### I set up a 3Node in the middle of the month, does it affect uptime requirements and rewards? + +You will still need to meet the required uptime (95% for DIY, etc.3), but the period starts when you connected the 3Node for the first time, instead of the usual start of the month. This only applies the first month. Afterwards, the uptime is calculated on the whole month. *Read last Q+A + + +### What is the difference between a certified and a non-certified 3Node? + +A certified 3Node will receive 25% more reward compared to a non-certified 3Node. +You can visit the [ThreeFold Marketplace](https://marketplace.3node.global/) for more information on certified 3Nodes. +DIY certified 3Nodes are a future possibility. + + + +### What are the different certifications available for 3Node servers and farms? What are the Gold and Silver certifications? + +3Nodes can be certified. You can buy certified 3Nodes [here](https://marketplace.3node.global/). + +Farms can also be certified. The certifications are: [gold certified farming](https://forum.threefold.io/t/gep-gold-certified-farming-specs-closed/2925) and [silver certified farming](https://forum.threefold.io/t/silver-booster-request-for-comments/3416). + +Note that gold and silver certifications are still being discussed. Join the discussion on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/). + + +### What is the difference between V2 and V3 minting? + +V2 is being sunset. New miners should directly onboard to V3. +On the tokenomics side, V2 rewards decrease as the difficulty level increases. For the V3 rewards, the rewards are constant for 5 years. In short, V3 is more profitable in the long run. For more information, read [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/comparison-v2-vs-v3-minting/2122). + + + +### What is the TFT minting address on Stellar Chain? + +The TFT minting address on Stellar Chain is the following: GBOVQKJYHXRR3DX6NOX2RRYFRCUMSADGDESTDNBDS6CDVLGVESRTAC47 + +You can see it on the Stellar Explorer [here](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/account/GBOVQKJYHXRR3DX6NOX2RRYFRCUMSADGDESTDNBDS6CDVLGVESRTAC47). + + + +### Can Titans and DIY 3Nodes share the same farm? + +Yes. It's one big ThreeFold family! A farm can have several 3Nodes (Titans or DIY) and each 3Node can be linked to only one farm. + + + +### Do I need one farm for each 3Node? + +No. You only need one farm. One farm can have multiple 3Nodes. When setting your farm, you will add an address for the farming rewards. All farming rewards from each 3Node of your farm will be sent to this address. Note that you can choose to have more than one farm. It is up to you. + + + +### Can a single farm be composed of many 3Nodes? + +Yes. You can have many 3Nodes on the same farm. + + + +### Can a single 3Node be on more than one farm? + +No, this is not possible. + + + +### Do I need one reward address per 3Node? + +You do not need more than one address linked to one farm. All of your 3Nodes can be connected to the same farm. Rewards per each 3Nodes will all be sent to the address linked to your farm. + + + +### How can I access the expert bootstrap mode for Zero-OS? + +You can access the expert bootstrap mode for Zero-OS at this link: [https://bootstrap.grid.tf/expert](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/expert). + + + +### When it comes to the Zero-OS bootstrap image, can I simply duplicate the first image I burnt when I build another 3Node? + +Yes. What is needed on this bootstrap image is to have the proper farm ID. The bootstrap image will be the same for all your different 3Nodes. It's a good TF farming practice to leave the bootstrap image plugged in the 3Node at all time. + + + +### If a node is unused for certain time (e.g. many months offline), will it be erased by the Grid? + +No, nodes only get deleted if the farm owner chooses to do so. Old "nodes" are really just entries in TF Chain and TF Chain does not modify or delete this data without external input. + + + +### Can a farm be erased from TF Grid? + +No, this is not possible. In the future, we will implement some features in order to allow the cleaning of unused farms. As of now, this is not possible. Also, an old farm does not take resources on the TF Grid, or very little. + + + +### On the ThreeFold Connect App, it says I need to migrate my Titan farm from V2 to V3. What do I have to do? How long does this take? + +To migrate, read [this documentation](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-to-do-if-your-farm-is-still-on-grid-v2-closed/3761). + + + + +### How can I migrate my DIY farm from V2 to V3? + +Create a new [bootstrap image](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/) using your new V3 Farm ID. To create a new V3 Farm ID, you can use the ThreeFold Connect App or the ThreeFold Dashboard. + + + +### What does the pricing policy ID of a farm represent? + +The pricing policy is the definition of how the network bills for workloads (pricing for each resource type, discounts, etc.). + + + +### What is the difference between TiB and TB? Why doesn't the TF Explorer shows the same storage space as my disk? + +Terabyte (TB) and Tebibyte (TiB) are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. While terabyte is a decimal standard unit, Tebibyte is binary. + +* 1 TB = 1000^4 bytes +* 1 TiB = 1024^4 bytes. + +There are thus more bytes in 1 TiB than in 1 TB. +1 TiB is equal to 1.099511627776 TB. + +You can play around these 2 notions by exploring this [TiB-TB converter](https://www.dataunitconverter.com/tebibyte-to-terabyte/). + +You can also check [this table](https://www.seagate.com/ca/en/support/kb/why-does-my-hard-drive-report-less-capacity-than-indicated-on-the-drives-label-172191en/) to compare different OS system's storage representation. + + + +## Farming Rewards and Related Notions + +### What are the rewards of farming? Can I get more rewards when my 3Node is being utilized? + +By connecting a 3Node to the Grid, you get Farming Rewards. If you set a public IP address for the Grid to use, you will receive additional rewards when your 3Node is being utilized by users on the Grid. All rewards are paid in TFT. To know the potential rewards, use the [simulator](https://simulator.grid.tf/). More information on sales channel will be communicated in the future. + + + +### How can I know the potential farming rewards for Grid Utilization? + +Go on the [ThreeFold simulator](https://simulator.grid.tf/), enter your 3Node resources, check the Public IP address. This will enable farming rewards from the parameter NU Required Per CU. Check the difference in the farming rewards per month. Note that you will need a Public IP address. + + + +### What is the easiest way to farm ThreeFold tokens (TFT)? + +Buy a [certified 3Node](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php). This is more or less *plug n play*! You can also build a [DIY 3Node](#what-are-the-general-requirements-for-a-diy-3node-server). It's fun and there are many resources to help you along the way. + + + +### When do I receive my rewards? + +They are distributed once a month, around the 8th*. Distributions are not daily, or after a certain threshold. Note that upcoming minting rules may have a 24 month lockup or until 30% utilization for 3 months on your 3Node. + +*This can change slightly depending on the current situation. + + + +### Do farming rewards take into account the type of RAM, SSD, HDD and CPU of the 3Node server? + +No. The farming rewards do not take into account the specific type of RAM, SSD, HDD and CPU. The farming rewards take into account the quantity of storage and compute units (e.g. TB of SSD/HDD, GB of RAM, # of virtual cores). + + +### Can I send my farming rewards directly to a crypto exchange? + +This is not possible. When you send tokens to a crypto exchange, you need to include a memo with your wallet address and the current farming rewards system of ThreeFold is already using that memo space to send the correct farming information. + + +### Do I need collateral to farm ThreeFold tokens? + +Many decentralized data projects require collateral, but not ThreeFold. There is an ongoing discussion on collateral. Join the discussion [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/should-tft-collateral-be-required-for-3nodes/3724). + + +### Can I add external drives to the 3Nodes to increase rewards and resources available to the ThreeFold Grid? + +As of now, you cannot add external drives to a 3Nodes. It is not yet supported. It might be in the future and we will update the FAQ if/when this happens. + + + +### Do I have access to the TFT rewards I receive each month when farming? + +For now, V3 farming rewards are distributed as TFT on Stellar and they are immediately available. The lock system will be implemented on chain. Tokens will be staked to your address until unlock conditions are met. Conditions are: 2 years of farming or 30% of proof-of-utilization for 3 months per 3Node. + + + +### What is TFTA? Is it still used? + +Note that on V3, TFTA will not be issued anymore. + + + +### Is there a way to certify a DIY 3Node? How can I become a 3Node certified vendor and builder? + +As of now, only certified ThreeFold partners can certify a 3Node. You could become a ThreeFolder vendor and offer certified 3Node. Read more [here](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php?dispatch=companies.apply_for_vendor). + + + +### Does it make sense to make my farm a company? + +There is no general answer to this. Here's what a ThreeFold member thinks about this if you are living in the USA. Check for your current location if this makes sense for you. DYOR. + +> "Definitely do this project as a business entity. You can write off equipment, utilities and a portion of your home's square footage if your are hosting the equipment at home." TFarmer + + + +### What is the difference between uptime and downtime, and between online and offline, when it comes to 3Nodes? + +Uptime and status are two different things. As long as the 3Node is powered on, its uptime does not reset. Its status changes to offline if it hasn't made an uptime report in the last two hours. Even if after more than two hours, the 3Node isn't yet online, the uptime does not reset. Uptime is a function of the system being powered on. + + +### My 3Node server grid utilization is low, is it normal? + +This is normal. Currently, not all 3Nodes are being utilized by users on the ThreeFold Grid. Each month, more and more utilization happens and the ThreeFold Grid continually expans. To read on the ThreeFold Grid utilization and expansion, check this [TF Forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-utilization-overview/3291). + + + + +## 3Node Farming Requirements + + +### Can I host more than one 3Node server at my house? + +Yes, but do not host more than your bandwidth can support. + + + +### Is Wifi supported? Can I farm via Wifi instead of an Ethernet cable? + +No. Wifi is not supported by Zero-OS due to a number of issues, like reliability, performance, configuration requirements and driver support. It's all about Ethernet cables here. + + + +### I have 2 routers with each a different Internet service provider. I disconnected the ethernet cable from one router and connected it to the other router. Do I need to reboot the 3Node? + +You do not need to reboot. The 3Node will be able to reconnect to the ThreeFold Grid. + + + + +### Do I need any specific port configuration when booting a 3Node? + +No, as long as the 3Node is connected to the Internet via an ethernet cable (wifi is not supported), Zero-OS will be able to boot. Usually with the DHCP, it automatically assigns an IP address. + + + +### How much electricity does a 3Node use? + +A small DIY 3Node based on a compact office computer will draw under 20W. A full size server will draw around 100W idling. Note that a 3Node actively used on the Grid (proof-of-utilization) will draw more power, but also generate passive income on top of farming if you have a public IP address. + +For more information, read thes section [Calculate the Total Electricity Cost of Your Farm](../farmers/farming_optimization/farming_costs.md#calculate-the-total-electricity-cost-of-your-farm) of the Farming Guide. + + + +### Has anyone run stress tests to know the power consumption at heavy load of certain 3Nodes? + +The community is starting to gather some data on this. As of now, we know that a R720 with 2x2690v2 cpu, 4TB NVME SSE P4510 and 320GB ram will draw 390W @100% load. With 2x2650L v2, it's around 300W with fans at full speed. More info will be added as we gather more data. + +### Can the Titan 3Node be run on PoE? (Power Over Ethernet) + +Titans don't come equipped for Power Over Ethernet (PoE). If you have a NUC based Titan there are some PoE lids that might be compatible. + + + +### What is the relationship between the 3Node's resources and bandwidth? + +A 3Node connects to the ThreeFold Grid and transfers information, whether it is in the form of compute, storage or network units (CU, SU, NU respectively). The more resources your 3Nodes offer to the Grid, the more bandwidth will be needed to transfer the additional information. + + +### What is the bandwidth needed when it comes to running 3Nodes on the Grid? + +The strict minimum for one Titan is 1 mbps of bandwidth. + +If you want to expand your ThreeFold farm, you should check the following to make sure your bandwidth will be sufficient when there will be Grid utilization. + +> min Bandwidth per 3Node (mbps) = 10 * max((Total SSD TB / 1 TB),(Total Threads / 8 Threads),(Total GB / 64 GB)) + 10 * (Total HDD TB / 2) + +This equation means that for each TB of HDD you need 5 mbps of bandwidth, and for each TB of SSD, 8 Threads and 64GB of RAM (whichever is higher), you need 10 mbps of bandwidth. + +This means a proper bandwidth for a Titan would be 10 mbps. As stated, 1 mbps is the strict minimum for one Titan. + +The bandwidth needed for a given 3Node is not yet set in stone and you are welcome to participate in ongoing the [discussion on this subject](https://forum.threefold.io/t/storage-bandwidth-ratio/1389) on the Forum. + + + +### Can I run Zero-OS on a virtual machine? + +You can. But you won't farm TFT. To farm TFT, Zero-OS needs to be on bare metal. + + +### Is it possible to build a DIY 3Node with VMWare VM ? + +It wouldn't be possible to get farming rewards from such configuration. You need to run a 3Node Zero-OS on bare metal and no virtual machine is permitted. Indeed, to farm TFT you need bare metal. Virtual Machine will not work. Furthermore, all disks of a 3Node need to be wiped completely, thus no other OS can be on the 3Node. + +It would be possible to simply set Zero-OS as a VM on VMWare VM, but it wouldn't farm as stated. + + +### Can I run a 3Node on another operating system, like Windows, MAC or Linux? + +No. ThreeFold runs its own operating system (OS), which is Zero-OS. You thus need to start with completely wiped disks. + +### What is the minimum SSD requirement for a 3Node server to farm ThreeFold tokens (TFT)? + +You need a theoretical minimum of 500 GB SSD on a desktop or server. Less could work. + + + +### Is it possible to have a 3Node server running on only HDD disks? + +This is not possible. A 3Node needs at least one SSD disk of 500 GB. + + + +## Building a 3Node - Steps and Details + + +### How can I be sure that I properly wiped my disks? + +A wiped disk has: +- no label +- no partition +- no filesystem +- only zeroes + +On Linux to see if the disk is only composed of zeroes, use the command line (example with disk sda): + +> cmp /dev/sda /dev/zero + +If there is only zeroes, you should get the output: + +> cmp: EOF on /dev/sda + +You can also use the command line: + +> sudo pv /dev/sda | od | head + +Here are some useful command lines for Linux to make sure there are no partitions, no labels, no filesystems and that the disks are filled with zeroes only: + +> sudo fdisk -l +> +> sudo fdisk -lf +> +> sudo parted -l +> +> sudo parted /dev/sda 'print’ +> +> lsblk --f +> +> lsblk --raw + + + +### If I wipe my disk to create a new node ID, will I lose my farming rewards during the month? + +No, you wouldn't lose any farming rewards. You will get both the rewards for your previous node ID's uptime and also the new node ID's uptime. + +Note that this is the case with the current farming rewards based on total uptime, without any minimum threshold. + + + +### My disks have issues with Zero-OS and my 3Nodes. How can I do a factory reset of the disks? + +> Warning: this is destructive. It erases the disk sda in this example. + +Boot a Linux in Try mode and run the following command: + +> sudo badblocks -svw -b 512 -t 0x00 /dev/sda + +*In this example, the disk selected is sda. Choose the proper disk name in your current situation, e.g. sdb, sdc..). + +This line will read and (over)write zeroes (0x00) everywhere on the disk. + +To understand the line of code, note that 512 is the block size and that without -b BLOCKSIZE, the process would simply go slower. +0x00 represents the zero byte. + + + +This will take some time, but it should reset the disk and hopefully fix any issues. + +Note: it takes the 3Node server around 1 percentage per minute for a 2TB SSD disk to accomplish the badblock operation. + + + +### Before doing a bootstrap image, I need to format my USB key. How can I format my USB key? + +*Note that BalenaEtcher will format and burn your bootstrap image in the same process. See next Q+A for more details. + +Windows: This is done easily with diskpart. Here's all the coding needed (with disk X as an example, make sure you choose the correct disk): run Command Prompt as an administrator (right-click option), write *diskpart*, then in diskpart write *list disk*, choose your disk and write *select disk X*, write *clean*, write *create partition primary*, write *format fs=fat32*, then write *assign*. If for any reason, the process doesn't work, quit diskpart and redo the whole thing. This should fix any bug. Cautious with diskpart, it's destructive. + +MAC: This is done easily with Disk Utility. Go in Disk Utility. Select your USB key, click on *erase* on the top, write a name for your USB key, then choose a format (MS-DOS (FAT) if USB key < 32GB, exFAT if USB key > 32GB), then click *erase*, then click *done*. + +LINUX: In the Terminal, write *df*, find your disk (here we use sdX), write *sudo umount /dev/sdX*, write this line (with the proper FORMAT) *sudo mkfs.FORMAT /dev/sdX* [FORMAT= vfat for FAT32, ntfs for NTFS, exfat for exFAT], then finally verify the formatting by writing *sudo fsck /dev/sdX*. + +### What do you use to burn (or to load) the Zero-OS bootstrap image onto a USB stick? + +For MAC, Linux and Windows, you can use [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to load/flash the image on a USB stick. This program also formats the USB in the process. Rufus can also be used for Windows. + +Also, got Linux systems, you can transfer the dowloaded image with the dd command: *dd if=created_boot_loader_file.img of=/dev/sd?* where the input file is the downloaded file from http:/bootloader.grid.tf and the output file (device) is the USB stick device. + + +### Should I do a UEFI image or a BIOS image to bootstrap Zero-OS? + +It depends on your 3Node's system. Newer computers and servers will accept UEFI. If it does not work with UEFI, please try with the options ISO (BIOS CD/DVD) or USB (BIOS image) on the [ThreeFold bootstrap website](https://bootstrap.grid.tf). Read the next Q+A for more information on BIOS/UEFI. + + + +### How do I set the BIOS or UEFI of my 3Node? + +You can read this [documentation](../farmers/3node_building/5_set_bios_uefi.md) to learn more about BIOS and UEFI settings for a DIY 3Node. + + + +### For my 3Node server, do I need to enable virtualization in BIOS or UEFI? + +Yes, you should enable virtualization. On Intel, it is denoted as *CPU virtualization* and on ASUS, it is denoted as *SVM*. Make sure virtualization is enabled and look for the precise terms in your specific BIOS/UEFI. + + + +### How can I boot a 3Node server with a Zero-OS bootstrap image? + +Plug the USB key containing the Zero-OS bootstrap image with your farm ID then power on your 3Node. If the BIOS/UEFI is set correctly and the disks are all wiped, it should boot correctly the first time. If you have any problem booting your 3Node, read the section [Troubleshooting and Error Messages](#troubleshooting-and-error-messages) of the FAQ. + + + +### The first time I booted my 3Node server, it says that the node is not registered yet. What can I do? + +The first time you boot a 3Node, it will be written: “This node is not registered (farmer *: NameOfFarm). This is normal. The Grid will create a node ID and you will be able to see it on screen. This can take a couple of minutes. + +If after some time (couple hours), the 3Node doesn't get registered, there might be something off with the Grid connection. You can then try to reboot the 3Node, or wait and boot it later. If it persists, you can check the rest of the Troubleshooting section of the Farmer FAQ, or ask around the ThreeFold Telegram Farmer chat or the ThreeFold chat for help. + + + +### The first time I boot my 3Node, the node gets registered but it says cache disk : no ssd. What can I do? + +This probably means that you either haven't connected a SSD or that you need to wipe your SSD disk(s). Zero-OS runs on bare metal and needs a minimum of one SSD disk (min 500GB & 50 GB per CU). You will see "cache disk : OK" when it works. + + + +### The first time I boot my 3 node, the node gets registered and it says cache disk : OK, but the table System Used Capacity is empty. What can I do? + +Most of the time, just wait and data will appear. If you want to be sure your 3Node is online on the Grid, you can check the [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), which fetch information every 2 hours. If it persist, first try to simply reboot your 3Node. + + + +### I have a relatively old server (e.g. Dell R710 or R620, Z840). I have trouble booting Zero-OS. What could I do? + +Sometimes, Zero-OS will not boot in UEFI mode on older servers. In that case, try to boot in BIOS mode. Use either a USB key or the CD/DVD optical drive (the 4th and 5th option on https://bootstrap.grid.tf/) and make sure to select BIOS and not UEFI mode in your server settings. + + +### I connected a SATA SSD to a CD-DVD optical drive adaptor. My system does not recognize the disk. What can I do? + +Try to set AHCI mode instead of Legacy mode in SATA settings in the BIOS. + + +### Can someone explain what should I put in the Public IP part of my farm? Should I just insert my Public IP and Gateway (given by my ISP)? + +Assuming you are a DIY farmer and operate from your home, this field can be left blank. You do not have to fill in any details. + +The add IP option is for farmers that have a block of IP addresses routed to their router (in data centers mostly) and want to present “dedicated IP” addresses for deployments. For more information on how to set the public configuration, go to [this link](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__public_config). + + + + + +## Farming Optimization + +### What is the difference between a ThreeFold 3Node and a ThreeFold farm? What is the difference between the farm ID and the node ID? + +A farm is a composition of one or many 3Nodes. A 3Node is a computer connected to the ThreeFold Grid. Each farm has its farm ID and each 3Node has its node ID. + + + +### How can I know how many GB of SSD and RAM do I need? + +You need 50 GB of SSD per compute units (CU) and a minimum of 500 GB SSD and 2 GB of RAM per 3Node. + +A 3Node has, in general, 2 compute units (CU) per thread. Thus, for peak optimisation, you need 100 GB SSD and 8GB RAM per thread. + +### What is the optimal ratio of virtual cores (vcores or threads), SSD storage and RAM memory? What is the best optimization scenario for a 3Node, in terms of ThreeFold tokens (TFT) farming rewards? + +In short, for peak optimization, aim for 100 GB SSD of storage and 8GB RAM of memory per virtual core (vcore or thread). + +For example, a 32 threads (32 vcores) 3Nodes would need 3.2 TB SSD and 256GB RAM to be optimal, reward-wise. +That is: 32 * 100 = 3200 GB SSD = 3.2TB SSD, and 32 * 8 = 256 GB RAM total. + +Adding more GB of RAM would not increase your TFT rewards. You would need more vcores if you want to expand. + +NB: This is purely based on reward considerations. Some users might need different ratios for different specific uses of the Grid. + + + +### What does TBW mean? What is a good TBW level for a SSD disk? + +TBW means Terabytes Written. TBW directly measures how much you can write cumulatively into the drive over its lifetime. For your 3Node, it can be a good idea to prioritize a minimum ratio of 500 TBW per 1TB for SSD. + +*Note that TBW is not a technical specification, but a general claim from the manufacturer. For this reason, it can also be good to check the warranty of the disk. For example, if a manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty to its product, it indicates that the company thinks its product will last a long time. + + +### Are SATA and SAS drives interchangeable? + +This goes only one way. You can put a SATA drive in a SAS slot, but you can’t put a SAS drive in a SATA slot. See the [next question](#what-is-the-speed-difference-between-sas-and-sata-disks) for more information. + + +### What is the speed difference between SAS and SATA disks? + +One of the big differences between SATA and SAS is the transfer speed. Using SATA disks with SAS cables, you will be limited by the SATA transfer speed. + +* Sata I : 150 MB/s +* Sata II : 300 MB/s +* Sata III : 600 MB/s +* SAS : 600-1500 MB/s + +Note: You will most probably need to re-flash the raid card if you use the front panel disks (onboard storage) of your server. + + + + +### Is it possible to do a graceful shutdown to a 3Node server? How can you shutdown or power off a 3Node server? + +There are no "graceful" shutdowns of 3Nodes. You can shutdown a 3Node from the software side. You need to shut it down manually directly on the hardware. 3Nodes are self-healing and if they suddenly power down, no data or information will be lost. + + + + +### Is it possible to have direct access to Zero-OS's core to force a reboot? + +No, this is not possible. The general philosophy with Zero-OS is: no shell, no GUI, and no remote control. In other words, anything that could potentially provide attack surface is off the table. This ensures a high security level to Zero-OS and the ThreeFold Grid in general. To reboot a 3Node, you have to do it manually. + + + +### Do I need some port forwarding in my router for each 3Node server? + +No, this is not needed. + + +### Are there ways to reduce 3Node servers' noises? + +To reduce the noise, you can remove all the unnecessary cards in the servers as well as the HDD disks if you don't use them. Unplugging the SAS cables can also help. You can also set the fans to adjust their speed instead of being constant. + +At the end of the day, servers were manufactured for durability and efficiency, and not for being quiet. Most servers are placed in server rooms where noise doesn't matter much. + + + +### I built a 3Node out of old hardware. Is it possible that my BIOS or UEFI has improper time and date set as factory default? + +Yes. Make sure you have the correct time and date in BIOS to avoid errors when trying to boot Zero-OS. It might not cause any problems, but sometimes it does. + + + +### I have rack servers in my ThreeFold farm. Can I set rack servers vertically? + +In general, it is not recommended to set rack servers vertically as they were designed to be laid flat in racks. That being said, if you want to set your rack vertically, here are some general rules to follow. Do so at your own risk. + +First, make sure the parts in the servers are well installed and that they will not fall if laid vertically. Second, and foremost, you want to make sure that there will not be any overheating. This means to make sure you don't block the front and rear of the unit, so heat can dissipate thought the vents. + +If you want to put the rack vertically with the longest side of the rack laying upward, having the power supply units (PSUs) on the very top will ensure that heat dissipate well. + + + + +## Farming and Maintenance + +### How can I check if there is utilization on my 3Nodes? + +To see if there is utilization on your 3Node, you can consult the [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), go to the Farm section and consult the information under your 3Nodes. Note that the quickest way is to check if there are CPUs reserved. + + + +### Do I need the Zero-OS bootstrap image drive (USB or CD-DVD) when I reboot, or can I boot Zero-OS from the 3Node main hard drive? + +It is advised to keep the bootstrap image plugged in your 3Node. Once your node has been booted with Zero-OS via the USB key, you can remove the USB key, but if something happens and the node needs to reconnect with the network, it won’t be able to do so. We advise people to let the USB key always in so the node can reconnect with the network if needed. + +You need the bootstrap image device plugged in every time you reboot a 3Node and it's a good practice to keep it plugged in all the time. The technical explanation is: (1) at first boot, it creates a minimum requirement on SSD which is used as cache (2) each time the system restarts it reuses this SSD piece but Zero-OS bootstrap is also needed to download the last image. Indeed, image is not stored on the machine and also no boot loader is installed. + + +### It's written that my node is using 100% of HRU. What does it mean? + +HRU stands for your HDD space available. It means that you are using 100% of the HDD space available, or equivalently that you have no HDD on your system. + + +### On the ThreeFold Node Finder, I only see half of the virtual cores or threads my 3Node has, what can I do? + +Check in the BIOS settings and make sure you have enabled Virtual Cores (or Hyper Threading/Logical Cores). + + + +### Why are the 3Nodes' resources different on the ThreeFold Node Finder and the ThreeFold Dashboard? + +There is a difference because one shows the resources in GiB and the other in GB. It's just a way to display information, the resources are ultimately the same, but shown differently. 1 GiB = 1.073741824 GB. + + + +### How can I test the health of my disks? + +There are many ways to test the health of your disks. For some information on this, you can have a look at this [TF forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/testing-ssd-health/3436). + + + +### How can I transfer my 3Node from one farm to another? + +To transfer your 3Node from one farm to another, simply make a new bootstrap image of the new farm, connect the new bootstrap image to the 3Node and restart the node. + +Note that you can use [balenaEtcher](https://etcher.balena.io/) to format and burn the bootstrap image at the same time. + + + +### What do CRU, MRU, HRU and SRU mean on the ThreeFold Node Finder? + +CRU means the number of virtual cores. MRU means the GB of ram (memory). HRU means the HDD capacity storage and SRU means the SSD capacity storage. + + + +### I have more than one ThreeFold 3Node farm, but I want all my 3Nodes on only one farm. How can I put all my 3Nodes on one farm? How can I change the farm ID of my 3Node? + +If you have more than one 3Node associated with more than one farm, it is possible to put all the 3Nodes under only one farm. +The following shows how to change the farm ID of your 3Node. + +For each 3Node, you need to create a new USB key Zero-OS boostrap image associated with the chosen farm ID. This will ensure your 3Node links to the chosen farm. +To create a new USB key Zero-OS bootstrap image, you can download the bootstrap image [here](https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf/) or you can clone an existing USB key bootstrap image associated with the chosen farm ID. In both case, you can use a software like [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/). +Once you have the new USB key bootstrap image, plug it into the 3Node and reboot the server. +After reboot, the 3Node will have the same node ID as before, but it will now be associated with the chosen farm ID. + +Note: If you want a new node ID for your 3Node, you will need to wipe the main SSD of your 3Node. + + + +### How can I know if my 3Node is online on the Grid? + +There are multiple answers to this. + +(1) You can plug a monitor to your 3Node and check directly its status. + +(2) You can check your 3Node status by using the Node Finder of the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/). + +(3) You can also use the unofficial, but highly useful [ThreeFold Node Status Bot](https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot) on Telegram. + + + +### I booted my 3Node and the monitor says it's online and connected to the Grid. But the ThreeFold Node Finder says it is offline? What can I do? + +The Node Finder refetches information every 2 hours. You can wait 2 hours and see if the problem persists. Then/or, you could reboot the 3Node and see if the Node Finder sees it as online. + + + +### My 3Node does show on the ThreeFold Node Finder, but not on the ThreeFold Dashboard, what can I do? + +If you're 3Node is correctly registered on the ThreeFold Grid but you cannot see it on the ThreeFold Dashboard, there can be many different ways to solve this issue. + +One way to fix this is to go in the TF Dashboard, select *change the address* and then simply re-paste the same address, then the extension will ask you to resign. Usually this fixes the issue. + +If the first method did not work, you can try to remove the account and add it back up on the Polkadot.js extension. Before doing so, make sure you have a back up of your seed phrase as you will need it to re-enter the account. Your 3Node should then appear. + + +### If I upgrade my 3Node, will it increase my rewards? + +Yes. Use the simulator to verify the additional rewards. But note that, currently, upgrades are not recognized until the next minting cycle. + + +### I booted my 3Node for the first time at the beginning of the month, then I did some upgrade or downgrade, will the ThreeFold Grid recognize the new hardware? Will it still be the same 3Node ID? + +Downgrades are counted in the current minting cycle. So you mint for the entire cycle at the downgraded specs. + +Minting only considers a single configuration per node per cycle, and that is the minimum configuration seen at any point during the cycle. With this logic in mind, upgrades will only be recognized at the next minting cycle. Note that your 3Node will have a new ID and new price entry if you changed the SSD containing the 3Node ID. + + + + + + +### Is it possible to ask the 3Node to refetch the node information on the monitor? + +To refetch information, press " q " on the keyboard. + + + +### When does Zero-OS detect the capacity of a 3Node? + +Zero-OS only detects capacity right after it boots. + + + + +### Where is the 3Node ID stored? + +For the current Zero-OS version, the node ID is stored in the first SSD you install on your 3Node*. If you change or erase this disk, this disk will lose its current 3Node ID. + +*Note that if, at the first boot, you put a SSD SATA and a SSD NVME at the same time, the node ID will be registered on the SSD SATA. + + + + +### Is there a way to backup my node ID in order to restore a 3Node if the disk with the node ID gets corrupted or breaks down? + +Yes, you can do a backup, but as of now this process must be done manually. + +One way is to boot a Linux USB image in *Try* mode, open up the *File* folder of your disk that contains the node ID. Click on *+ Other Locations.* Then, open the folder that contains the folder *zos-cache* and open the folder *identityd.* In this folder, select the file *seed.txt* and make a copy of it in a safe place (USB key, notebook, e-mail, etc.). If the disk which contains your node ID is damaged, simply reboot the 3Node with a new disk and the Zero-OS bootstrap image. Your 3Node will connect to the Grid and assign a new node ID. Once this is done, reboot the 3Node, but this time with the Linux USB image, go in the same folder as stated before and replace the new *seed.txt* file with the old file. Reboot your 3Node with the Zero-OS bootstrap and you're done. + + + +### If I upgrade my 3Node, does it change the node ID? + +Upgrades won't change the node ID, unless you replace the SSD where the node ID is stored (see above for more info on this). + + + + +### Does it make sense to recreate my node when the price drops? + +Short answer: no. Long answer: [click here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/does-it-make-sense-to-recreate-my-node-when-the-price-drops/). + + +### My 3Node lost power momentarily and I had to power it back on manually. Is there a better way to proceed? + +In your BIOS, go in *Security Settings* and choose *Last* for *AC Power Recovery*. If you want, set a delay between 60 and 240 seconds. This will ensure your 3Node does not power on and off frantically if your power flickers on and off, thus potentially damaging the unit. On other BIOS, it's *After Power Loss*, and you should choose *Previous State*. + +*Depending on your 3Node, the parameter might have a different name. + + +### Do I need to change the battery BIOS? + +It can be a good thing to change it when you buy an old desktop or server to make sure it lasts long. When the battery goes out of power, the 3Node won't have access to the BIOS settings if it loses power momentarily. + + + +### Do I need to enable UEFI Network Stack? + +You don't need to if you use a removable media (e.g. USB key) as a booting image. It is needed only if you boot from a PXE server on your network. You should keep this feature disabled. Enable it only if you know 100% what you are doing. Otherwise it might bring vulnerabilities in terms of network security. + + +### I want redundancy of power for my 3 nodes. I have two PSU on my Dell server. What can I do? + +Make sure you enable the Hot Spare feature. This feature is accessible in iDRAC Settings - Power Configuration. Other servers might have this function, with a different name and configuration. Check the server's manual for more details. + + + +### Why isn't there support for RAID? Does Zero-OS work with RAID? + +RAID is a technology that has brought resilience and security to the IT industry. But it has some limitations that we at ThreeFold did not want to get stuck in. We developed a different (and more efficient way to store data reliably. Please have a look [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/cloud/threefold__cloud_products?id=storage-quantum-safe-filesystem). + +This Quantum Safe Storage overcomes some of the shortfalls of RAID and is able to work over multiple nodes geographically spread on the TF Grid. + + +### Is there a way to bypass RAID in order for Zero-OS to have bare metals on the system? (No RAID controller in between storage and the Grid.) + +Yes it is possible. "You can use the on board storage on a server without RAID. You can [re-flash](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) the RAID card, turn on HBA/non-RAID mode, or install a different card. No need for RAID." @FLnelson It's usually easy to set servers such as a HP Proliant with the HBA mode. For Dell servers, you can either cross-flash the RAID controller with an “IT-mode-Firmware” (see this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5nb09VksYw)) or get a DELL H310-controller (which has the non-RAID option). Otherwise, you can install a NVME SSD with a PCIe adaptor, and turn off the RAID controller. + + + +### I have a 3Node rack server. Is it possible to use a M.2 to SATA adapter in order to put the M.2 SATA disk in the HDD bay (onboard storage)? + +Yes, it is possible. You will most probably need to bypass the RAID controller for Zero-OS to access properly the onboard storage. See previous question. + + + +### My 3Node uses only PCIe adapters and SSD NVME disks. Do I need the RAID controller on? + +The onboard RAID controller is not linked to your PCIe SSDs. In this case, you can switch the RAID controller off. + + + +### Can I change the name of my farm on polkadot.js? + +It’s possible to rename farms through the Polkadot UI. For mainnet, use [this link](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/extrinsics). + +1. Under *using the selected account*, select the account that owns the farm +2. Choose *tfgridModule* from the dropdown menu *submit the following extrinsic*, +3. Select *updateFarm(id, name, pricingPolicyId)* +4. Under *name: Bytes*, write the new farm name +5. Finally, click on the bottom *Submit Transaction* at the bottom right of the screen + + + +### How can I delete a farm on polkadot.js? + +The ability to delete a farm was removed from TF Chain due to concerns that nodes could be left without a farm and thus cause problems with billing. + + + +### I try to delete a node on the TF Dashboard, but it doesn’t work. Is there any other way to proceed that could work? + +It’s possible to delete nodes through the Polkadot UI. For mainnet, use [this link](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/extrinsics). + +1. Under *using the selected account*, select the account that owns the farm, +2. Choose *tfgridModule* from the dropdown menu *submit the following extrinsic* +3. Select *deleteNodeFarm(nodeId)* +4. Under *id: u32*, write the ID of the 3Node you want to delete +5. Finally, click on the bottom *Submit Transaction* at the bottom right of the screen + + + +### My 3Node has 2 ethernet ports in the back, with one written AMT above, what does it mean? Can I use this port to connect my 3Node to the ThreeFold Grid? + +First, let's define the term AMT. It means: Active Management Technology. Without going into too much details, it is to remotely access servers via the network at the BIOS level. Thus, you should plug the ethernet cable in the port next to AMT, and not into the AMT port. You can explore AMT properties if you want remote access to your server. + + + +### My 3Node is based on a the hardware Z600, Z620 or Z820, can I run it headless or without a GPU? + +For the Z600, there is a great [video on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JgBYbaT-N-w). + +For the Z620 and the Z820, you need to do some variation on the video above. In the BIOS, go in File, then Replicated Setup, and select Save to Removable Storage Device. This will save a text file on your USB key. Then, in the text file, go to Headless Mode and remove the * in front of Disable and put it in front of Enable. Save the file and then go back into BIOS. Now go in File, then Replicated Setup, and select Restore from Removable Storage Device. + +Running your 3Node without the GPU can save some power consumption as well as giving you one more extra slot for other hardware. + + +### Is it possible to add high-level GPU on rack servers to farm more TFT? + +Some farmers had success installing GPUs such as the RTX3080 in servers as small as 2U (such as R730). Connections such as 250W 8-pin plug are needed on each riser. Generally, tower servers have more space to add high-level GPU. + +Note: GPU farming will be implemented in the future. + + + +### If I change farm, will my node IDs change on my 3Node servers? + +You can move 3Nodes between farms without losing the node IDs. You simply need to change the boot media with the new farm ID and then reboot the 3Node. The 3Node will have the same node ID but it will now be associated with the new farm ID. + + +## Troubleshooting and Error Messages + +### Is it possible to access the Error Screen or Log Screen? + +Yes! On the Zero-OS console, hit alt-F2 to open up the Error/Log Screen, and hit alt-F3 to go back to the main screen. + + +### What does it mean when I see, during the 3Node boot, the message: error = context deadline exceeded? + +In general, this message means that the ThreeFold Grid asked something to your 3Node, and your 3Node could not respond fast enough. It is usually necessary to read the following error message to understand the situation more specifically. + + +### I try to boot a 3Node, but I get the error: "No Route to Host on Linux". What does it mean? + +There are many potential answers to this. Perhaps the Host is offline, the service isn't running. This is usually the reason with TF Grid. It means the Grid is not responsive. In this case, try to boot the 3Node later. If it persists ask TF Support. + +There can also be other reasons. You might have connected to the wrong port. Perhaps you have configured iptables to block connections on that port. Your DNS might be improperly configured. You might have an Incorrect Network or Host Configuration. Many troubleshoots are possible. Here's a [good place to start](https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-no-route-to-host-error-linux/). + + + +### How can I fix the error: "Network configuration succeed but Zero-OS kernel could not be downloaded" when booting a 3Node? + +To fix the error "Network configuration succeed but Zero-OS kernel could not be downloaded", you can try to restart the router and reboot the 3Node. This usually fixes the issue. If this doesn't work, check if the router is still functional. The cause of this issue might be that your router is broken. + + + +### Using SAS disks, I get the error; "No ssd found, failed to register". What can I do to fix this? + +First make sure to wipe the disks and then boot your 3Node. If you've wiped the disks and it doesn't work, it's been reported that using the command "diskpart clean command" on Windows can fix this issue. + + + +### When booting a 3Node, how to fix the error: "no disks: registration failed"? + +There can be many different fixes for this error. Here are some troubleshooting tips to test separately: + +* In BIOS, enable AHCI +* Make sure to [wipe the disks](../farmers/3node_building/4_wipe_all_disks.md) of the 3Nodes +* If the 3Node has a RAID Controller: + * Disabled the RAID controller, OR; + * [Flash the RAID controller](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) (i.e. crossflashing), OR; + * Change the controller to a Dell H310 controller (for Dell servers) +* Try the command **badblocks** (replace **sda** with your specific disk). Note that this command will delete all the data on the disk + * ``` + sudo badblocks -svw -b 512 -t 0x00 /dev/sda + ``` + + +### My SSD is sometimes detected as HDD by Zero-OS when there is a reboot. Is there a fix or a way to test the SSD disk? + +If your SSD disk shows as HDD, usually you can reboot the 3Node and Z-OS adjusts correctly. + +Anyone experiencing frequently this issue where Z-OS sometimes detects an SSD as HDD can try the following: + +* Boot up a live Ubuntu Desktop image +* Run the benchmark utility within the Disks app +* Check if the seektime of the disk is sufficient for Z-OS + * If the seektime is above 0.5ms, Z-OS will consider your SSD as HDD + +**Detailed Steps:** + +* Boot a Ubuntu Linux live USB +* Install **gnome-disks** if it isn't already installed: + * ``` + sudo apt install gnome-disks + ``` +* Open the application launcher and search for **Disks** +* Select your disk +* Click on the tree dots menu +* Select **Benchmark Disk...** + * Use the default parameters + * **Transfer rate**: This is not relevant for our current test + * You can set to it to minimum (e.g. 2) + * **Sample size**: 10 MB is sufficient +* Check the average access time on the [ThreeFold repository](https://www.github.com/threefoldtech/seektime) + * Check seek time for HDD and SSD + * A SSD needs to be <=0.5ms +* If the result is above 0.5ms, this is why Z-OS doesn't recognize the disk properly + * You can then run diagnostics (e.g. smartmontools) + * If this is not fixable, you should change disk (e.g. take a more performing disk) + +Note: The green dots on the output represent seektime and that's what Z-OS is looking at. Specifically, it checks that the average seektime is below 0.5ms. If the seektime is above this, Z-OS will consider your SSD as HDD. + + + +### When booting a 3Node, I get the message: failed to register node: failed to create node: failed to submit extrinsic: Invalid Transaction: registration failed. What could fix this? + +The most probable fix to this error is simply to properly wipe your disk(s): + +* [Wipe your disks on Linux](#what-can-you-do-to-zero-out-your-disks-how-can-i-wipe-the-disks-of-my-3node-server-with-linux) + +* [Wipe your disks on Windows](#how-can-i-wipe-a-disk-with-windows) + + +### I try to boot a 3Node, but I get the message no route with default gateway found. What does it mean? + +First, let's see the main terms. Default gateway act as an access point to other networks, in this case the TF Grid, when there is a back and forth exchange of data packets. + +While the last question implied a communication problem from the Grid, this error message usually means that the 3Node has communication problem. In short, it has difficulty reaching the TF Grid. There are many ways to troubleshoot this error. First, let's give the most direct solution. Make sure you have a direct connection with your Internet Service Provider (ISP): your 3Node should be connected to a router or a switch via an ethernet cable. Wifi doesn't work. Make sure your DHCP is set correctly. + +If the problem persists, check the default gateway of your 3Node and then make sure your router can reach it. + +*See next Q+A for more a possible solution. + + + +### I have trouble connecting the 3Node to the Grid with a 10GB NIC card. What can I do? + +As of now, Zero-OS sometimes has trouble with 10GB NIC card. The easiest solution to this is to connect your 3Node with the 1GB NIC card. This should solve the issue. More fine tuning might be needed to get your 3Node to work with a 10GB NIC card. Future Zero-OS version might solve this issue. + + + +### I switch the ethernet cable to a different port when my 3Node was running. Internet connection is lost. What can I do? + +When your 3Node boots, Zero-OS marks the NIC port. This means you cannot change NIC port when your 3Node is running. You can either put back the ethernet cable in the initial NIC port, or reboot the 3Node. At boot, Zero-OS will marks the new NIC port as the main entry. + + + +### I get the error Certificate is not yet valid when booting my 3Node server, what can I do? + +Make sure your firmware is up to date. If necessary, reinstall it. You might have to install then re-install the firmware if your system is very old. + + + +### When running wipefs to wipe my disks on Linux, I get either of the following errors: "syntax error near unexpected token" or "Probing Initialized Failed". Is there a fix? + +Many different reasons can cause this issue. When you get that error, sometimes it is because your are trying to wipe your boot USB by accident. If this is not the case, and you really are trying to wipe the correct disk, here are some fixes to try out, with the disk `sda` as an example: + +* Fix 1: + * Force the wiping of the disk: + * ``` + sudo wipefs -af /dev/sda + ``` +* Fix 2: + * Unmount the disk then wipe it: + * ``` + sudo umount /dev/sda + ``` + * ``` + sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda + ``` + + + +### I did a format on my SSD disk, but Zero-OS still does not recognize them. What's wrong? + +Formatting is one thing, but to boot properly, Zero-OS needs to work on a completely wipe disk. Thus, make sure you [wipe your disks](#what-can-you-do-to-zero-out-your-disks-how-can-i-wipe-the-disks-with-linux). Formatting is not enough. + + + +### I have a Dell Rx10 server (R610, 710, 910). When I boot Zero-OS I get the message Probing EDD and the 3Node doesn't boot from there. What can I do? + +For the R610 and 710, you can simply re-flash the card. See [this link](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) for more information. For the 910, you can’t re-flash the card. In this case, get a LSI Dell card and it should work. (They are cheap when you buy them used online.) + + +### My 3Node doesn't boot properly without a monitor plugged in. What can I do? + +First, try to disable the "Halt On" mode in BIOS. If you do not have this option, try simply enabling the Legacy Support (Dell BIOS for example). If this doesn't work, try to plug in a Dummy Plug/Headless Ghost/Display Emulator in your 3Node. This will simulate a plugged monitor. This should fix the problem. + + +### My 3Node is running on the Grid, but when I plugged in the monitor, it states: Disabling IR #16. Is there a problem? + +In general, you can simply ignore this error statement. This error is linked to the Nvidia binary driver. It simply means that your 3Node lost connection with the graphic card (by unplugging and replugging the monitor for example). + + +### My 3Node won't boot without disabling the Secure Boot option, is it safe? + +In the case where you want to boot Zero-OS, disabling Secure Boot option is safe. With Secure Boot disabled, it can be easier or even necessary when it comes to booting Zero-OS. Secure Boot is used when you want to lock the BIOS/UEFI settings. + + + +### When I tried to boot my 3Node, at some point the screen went black, with or without a blinking hyphen or dash. What could cause this and what could I do to resolve the issue? + +There is a possibility that this happens because you are booting your 3Node on a HDD. A 3Node needs a minimum of 500GB of SSD to work properly. + +Also, make sure that you are using the correct boot option (Legacy BIOS or UEFI) in the Settings and that it corresponds to the correct booting image on the ThreeFold Bootstrap page. + +This problem often arises when you plugged your disks in the wrong controller. For example, try unpluging the disks from the SAS controller, and plug them in the SATA controller. Also, disable the SAS controller if needed. + +In a Legacy BIOS boot, make sure Legacy is enabled and disable *Data Execution Prevention* if possible. + +Also, it might have to do with your RAID controller configuration. Make sure this is properly set. For example, configuring all the HDD disks into one logical disk can fix this problem, or re-flashing the RAID card can also help. + + + +### My 3Nodes go offline after a modem reboot. Is there a way to prevent this? + +Yes, there are many ways to prevent this. An easy solution is to set the DHCP server to reserve local IPs for the 3Nodes MAC addresses. + +This problem is also preventable if your router stays online during the modem reboot. + +Indeed, rebooting the 3Nodes is necessary when there are local IP changes, as 3Nodes are addressed a local IP addresses when they are booted. + +The DHCP will addresses any local IP address that is available when you are booting a 3Node. Reserving local IP addresses is a good TF farming practice. + + + +### When I boot my 3Node, it reaches the Welcome to Zero-OS window, but it doesn't boot properly and there's an error message: failed to load object : type substrate..., what can I do? + +Usually simply rebooting the 3Node fixes this problem. + + + +### When I try to access iDRAC on a web browswer, even with protected mode off, I get the error The webpage cannot be found, what can I do? + +Open iDRAC in the Internet Explorer emulator extension (IE Tab) in Chrome, then update iDRAC. It should work elsewhere then. Sometimes, it will be needed to add "ST1=code" at the end of the IE Tab url. + + + +### When booting the 3Node, I get the error Network interface detected but autoconfiguration failed. What can I do? + +First make sure your network cable is plugged in and that your DHCP is working and responding. If you change the NIC port of the ethernet cable, make sure to reboot the 3Node so Zero-OS can change the NIC port attribution. + +Some farmers reported that this got fixed by simply powering off the 3Node(s), the router and modem for 2 minutes then powering it all back on. Resetting the modem and router (switch on the hardware) in the process can also help. + +If this doesn't work, try to upgrade the firmware of the NIC and the motherboard. If this still doesn't work, the NIC card might be broken. Try with another NIC card. + + + +### When I boot my Dell server, I get the message: All of the disks from your previous configuration are gone... Press any key to continue or 'C' to load the configuration utility. What can I do? + +Many changes to your server can lead to this message. + +Usually, the easiest solution is to reset the disk configuration in iDRAC's configuration utility. + +What can causes this message: + +1. During a new installation, the cables connecting to your external storage are not wired to the correct ports. +2. Your RAID adapter has failed. +3. Your SAS cables are not plugged properly or are malfunctioning. + +Note: Resetting the configuration will destroy all data on all virtual disks. Make sure you know what you are doing! In doubt, ask the TF community. + + + +### I have a Dell R620. In Zero-OS, I get the failure message No network card found and then the 3Node reebots after few seconds. The same happens for every LAN input. What can I do? + +The first thing to try here is to boot the server in BIOS mode instead of UEFI mode. If this doesn't fix the problem, try the following. + +Sometimes, this happens when the firmwares of BIOS, iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller and NIC are incompatible to each other. The solution is then to update them all correctly. Some problems can arise in the process. + +First, you should try to do the updates using iDRAC as you can update both iDRAC and BIOS there. If this does not work, try to update separate, with a live-linux distro, the BIOS, iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller. Once this is done, the server should be able to do a liveupdate, https to dell support website, via lifecycle-controller. This would update the other components. For more details on this method, watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISA7j2BKgjI). + +Note: Some farmers have reported that the Broadcom NIC card does not work well for Zero-OS and that a standard Intel PCI NIC card replacement resolved the issue. This could be a more straightforward method if updating the firmwares doesn't resolve the issue. + + + +### I am using freeDos to crossflash my raid controller on a Dell server, but I can't see the RAID controller with the Command Info. What can I do? + +Turn on the raid controller in the BIOS, otherwise freeDos does not show you the raid controller with the command Info. + + + +### Can I use a VGA to HDMI adaptor to connect a TV screen or monitor to the 3Node? I tried to boot a 3Node with a VGA to HDMI adaptor but the boot fails, what can I do? + +This might work, but it has been reported by farmers that Zero-OS might have difficulties booting when this is done with a VGA/HDMI adaptor on a TV screen. This is most likely due to the TV screen not supporting the output once the system loaded into Zero-OS. The easy fix to this issue is to use a standard computer monitor with a VGA plug. + + + +### When I try to boot my 3Node, the fans start spinning fast with a loud noise and the screen is black. What can I do to resolve this? + +There may be several causes to this issue. You can try to remove all the RAM sticks, to clean the dust and then to reseat the RAM sticks. If it still doesn't resolve the issue, you can check the RAM sticks one by one to see if one is malfunctioning. This often resolves the issue. Also, some cables might not be properly connected. + + + +### When booting Zero-OS with IPV6 configurations, I get the errors (1) dial tcp: address IPV6-address too many columns in address and (2) no pools matches key: not routable. What can I do to fix this issue? + +This usually means that the IPV6 attributed is not valid. It is also often caused when the DNS configuration does not resolve IPV6 correctly. + +To fix this issue, it is often necessary to adjust the IPV6 settings related to the router and the modem. Confirming with your Internet service provider (ISP) that the IPV6 settings are properly configured could also be necessary to fix the issue. + + + + +### When booting a 3Node, Zero-OS downloads fine, but then I get the message: error no route with default gateway found, and the message: info check if interface has a cable plugged in. What could fix this? + +Make sure you have network stack enabled in BIOS. If so, check you ethernet port and make sure that it's clean. Also make sure the ethernet rj45 connectors are clean on both ends. If that does not work, verify the state of your SATA cables. If all this doesn't work, download and re-install Zero-OS. + + + +### How can I update Dell and HP servers to Intel E5-2600v2, E5-2400v2 and E5-4600v2, when applicable? + +There are many ressources online with steps on how to do this. You can check this [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzrULLtonM) on Dell and HP servers, as welll as this [documentation](https://ixnfo.com/en/hp-proliant-gen8-update-to-support-cpu-e5-2600v2-e5-2400v2-e5-4600v2.html) for HP Proliant Gen8. + + + +### How can I update the firmware and driver of a Dell PowerEdge server? + +Dell has excellen documentation for this. Read [this](https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000128194/updating-firmware-and-drivers-on-dell-emc-poweredge-servers) for the detailed steps. + + + +### When I boot a 3Node in UEFI mode, it gets stuck at: Initializing Network Device, is there a way to fix this? + +In short, booting the 3Node in BIOS mode instead of UEFI mode usually fixes this issue. + +You can make bootable USB with the USB option of the [Zero-OS bootstrap image page](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/). Make sure to boot your server using BIOS and not UEFI. In the boot sequence, make the USB as your first choice to boot. + + + +### When I boot my 3Node, it gets stuck during the Zero-OS download. It never reaches 100%. What can I do to fix this issue? + +Here are some ways to troubleshoot your 3Node when it cannot download Zero-OS completely (to 100%): + +* Sometimes, just rebooting the 3Node and/or trying a little bit later can work. +* It can help to reboot the modem and the router. +* Make sure your BIOS/UEFI is up to date. Updating the BIOS/UEFI can help. +* It can also help to set the correct date and time. + + + +### When booting a 3Node, I get the error=“context deadline exceeded” module=network error=failed to initialize rmb api failed to initialized admin mw: failed to get farm: farm not found: object not found. What can I do to fix this issue? + +Usually, the simple fix to this issue is to make sure that your bootstrap image is on the same network as your farm. For example, if you created your farm on the Main net, you should use a Main net Zero-OS bootstrap image. + + + +## ThreeFold Grid and Data + + +### How is the farming minting reward calculated? Is the Grid always monitoring my 3Node? + +The Grid uses an algorithm that does not continually monitor the 3Node. It does its best to determine uptime through occasional checking in, which we call ping. The 3Node sends a ping to the Grid and the Grid sends a ping to the 3Node to confirm the reception. (Ping-Pong!) + +It’s helpful to understand that the Grid is really just 3Nodes and TF Chain (which itself is a collection of nodes). Nodes report their uptime by writing an entry on TF Chain, about once every two hours. These reports are used for minting. + + + +### How does communication happen on the ThreeFold Grid at the 3Node's level? + +There are two ways to get information about nodes. Once is to query TF Chain, and the other is to communicate with nodes directly. + + + +### What is the ThreeFold Node Status bot Telegram link? + +The link is the following: https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot. + + + +### How does the ThreeFold Node Status bot work? How can I use the ThreeFold Node Status bot to verify if my 3Node is online? + +1. Click on this link: https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot + +2. To subscribe a node, write the command */subscribe nodeID*. With the ID 100 as example, write: */subscribe 100* + +3. To verify the status of all your 3Nodes, write: */status* + +4. To verify the status of all your 3Nodes through Yggdrasil, write: */ping* + +Note: The bot should send you alerts when it considers any registered node to be offline. + + + +### How does the Telegram Status Bot get information from my 3Node? My 3Node is online on the ThreeFold Node Finder, but offline on the Telegram Status Bot, is this normal? + +The status bot communicates directly by sending pings to the nodes over Yggdrasil every five minutes. Therefore, it will report on temporary network interruptions that might not affect your total uptime calculation as used for minting. + + + +### I noticed that when I reboot my 3Node, the uptime counter on the ThreeFold Node Finder goes back to zero. Does it mean I lose uptime and the uptime start over again when I reboot the 3Node? + +No. The only uptime you lose is the time your 3Node was offline from the ThreeFold Grid. This ThreeFold Grid still has the data of your total uptime of the month. The Node Finder only shows this statistics as: "*This node has been up non-stop without being rebooted for now* [insert time]". If you maintain a total uptime above the minimum uptime, you're fine. + +*For now the farming rewards are proportional to the total uptime. + + +### One of my nodes is showing the wrong location. Any problem with that? +The ThreeFold Node Finder is showing your ISP location. This is perfectly normal. + + +## Memory + +### Can I use different type of RAM for the same 3Node? + +No. Always use the same type of RAM per 3Node. If you use RDIMM, go all RDIMM, etc. Check your hardware specifications to make sure you have the right type of memory. + + + +### How can I know if the memory I am buying is correct for my specific hardware? + +To be sure, look into the owner's manual of your specific computer. + +In general, you can go to [Memory.net](https://memory.net/) and look for your specific computer model. As general steps, select your computer's system in *By system*, then select the series and then select the specific model of the series. You will then see available memories to buy from memory.net. You can also simply read the documentation at the bottom. The memory type supported by your computer will be explained. Then you can buy the memory needed from any other computer store. + +For servers, you can check with Cloudninja's documentation [here](https://cloudninjas.com/pages/server-memory). Search for your specific hardware and look for the compatible memory. This reference is good for rack and tower servers. + + + +### What do the terms RDIMM, LDIMM, UDIMM, LRDIMM, FBDIMM mean when it comes to RAM memory sticks? + +Well first, the DIMM means dual inline memory module. + +* U stands for or unregistered (or unbuffered). + +* R stands for registered memory. + +* LR stands for load-reduced. + +* FB stands for fully-buffered. + + + +### What is the difference between ECC and non-ECC memory? + +ECC means error correction code memory. This type of memory can detect and correct data corruption. Non-ECC mostly cannot detect nor correct, but some can detect, but never correct data corruption. Check your hardware specifications to make sure you have the right type of memory (ECC or non-ECC). + + +### How can I change the RAM memory sticks on my 3Nodes? How can I achieve dual channel configuration with sticks of RAM? + +First, always use RAM sticks of the same size and type. It should be noted on your motherboard which slots to populate first. As a general guide, there is usually 2 slots A and B, with each 2 memory stick entries. You must then install the ram sticks on A1 and B1 in order to achieve dual channel, then A2 and B2 if you have more (visual order: A1 A2 B1 B2). + +> Example: You want to start with your largest sticks, evenly distributed between both processors and work your way down to your smallest. Let's take an example with 2 processors as well as 4x 16GB sticks and 4x 8GB sticks. The arrangement would be A1-16GB, B1-16GB, A2-16GB, B2-16GB, A3-8GB, B3-8GB, A4-8GB, B4-8GB. Avoid odd numbers as well. You optimally want pairs. So if you only have 5x 8GB sticks, only install 4 until you have an even 6. + + + +### What does RAM mean? + +RAM means random access memory. Those type of memory can be read and changed in any order. + + + + +### What does DIMM mean when it comes to RAM sticks? + +It means *dual in-line memory module*. This type of computer memory is natively 64 bits, enabling fast data transfer. + + + +### I have 24 DIMMS ram slots on my server. Can I use them all? + +Be careful when installing memory on a server. Always check your server's documentation to make sure your RAM sticks combination are correct. + +For example, on the Dell R720, you can have 24x16gb RAM ECC sticks, but it can only handle 16 Quad ranked DIMMs. In this case, you can fill up all slots with registered DIMMs if you have a maximum of 4 quad DIMMS ranked on each CPU. + +# Ask a Question to the ThreeFold Community + +If you have any question, you can ask the ThreeFold community via the ThreeFold forum or the ThreeFold Telegram channels: + +* [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) +* [ThreeFold General TG Channel](https://t.me/threefold) +* [ThreeFold Farmer TG Channel](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers) +* [TF Grid Tester TG Channel](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) + +> Note 1: If we wrote something wrong, tell us! + +> Note 2: This is a collective effort.

This way, when you buy XLM and swap XLM tokens for TFTs, they will be directly available on your TF Connect app wallet. + +![image](./img/gettft_11.png) + +To connect your TF Connect app wallet, you will need to find your Stellar address and chain secret key. +This is very simple to do. + +Click on **I have a public or secret key**. + +![image](./img/gettft_12.png) + +As you can see on this next picture, you need the Stellar address and secret key to properly connect your TF Connect app wallet to Lobstr: + +![image](./img/gettft_18.png) + +To find your Stellar address and secret key, go on the TF Connect app and select the **Wallet** section: + +![image](./img/gettft_13.png) + +At the top of the section, click on the **copy** button to copy your Stellar Address: + +![image](./img/gettft_17.png) + +Now, we will find the Stellar secret key. +At the botton of the section, click on the encircled **i** button: + +![image](./img/gettft_14.png) + +Next, click on the **eye** button to reveal your secret key: + +![image](./img/gettft_15.png) + +You can now simply click on the **copy** button on the right: + +![image](./img/gettft_16.png) + +That's it! You've now connected your TF Connect app wallet to your Lobstr account. + +## Buy XLM with Fiat Currency + +Now, all we need to do, is buy XLM and then swap it for TFT. +It will be directly available in your TF Connect App wallet. + +On the Lobstr app, click on the top right menu button: + +![image](./img/gettft_19.png) + +Then, click on **Buy Crypto**: + +![image](./img/gettft_20.png) + +By default, the crypto selected is XLM. This is alright for us as we will quickly swap the XLM for TFT. + +On the Buy Crypto page, you can choose the type of Fiat currency you want. +By default it is in USD. To select some othe fiat currency, you can click on **ALL** and see the available fiat currencies: + +![image](./img/gettft_21.png) + +You can search or select the current you want for the transfer: + +![image](./img/gettft_22.png) + +You will then need to decide how much XLM you want to buy. Note that there can be a minimum amount. +Once you chose the desired amount, click on **Continue**. + +![image](./img/gettft_23.png) + +Lobstr will then ask you to proceed to a payment method. In this case, it is Moonpay. +Note that in some cases, your credit card won't accept Moonpay payments. You will simply need to confirm with them that you agree with transacting with Moonpay. This can be done by phone. Check with your bank and credit card company if this applies. + +![image](./img/gettft_24.png) + +Once you've set up your Moonpay payment method, you will need to process and confirm the transaction: + +![image](./img/gettft_25.png) +![image](./img/gettft_26.png) + +You will then see a processing window. +This process is usually fast. Within a few minutes, you should receive your XLM. + +![image](./img/gettft_27.png) + +Once the XLM is delivered, you will receive a notification: + +![image](./img/gettft_28.png) + +When your transaction is complete, you will see this message: + +![image](./img/gettft_29.png) + +On the Trade History page, you can choose to download the csv file version of your transaction: + +![image](./img/gettft_30.png) + +That's it! You've bought XLM on Lobstr and Moonpay. + +## Swap XLM for TFT + +Now we want to swap the XLM tokens for the Threefold tokens (TFT). +This is even easier than the previous steps. + +Go to the Lobstr Home menu and select **Swap**: + +![image](./img/gettft_31.png) + +On the **Swap** page, write "tft" and select the Threefold token: + +![image](./img/gettft_32.png) + +Select the amount of XLM you want to swap. It is recommended to keep at least 1 XLM in your wallet for transaction fees. + +![image](./img/gettft_33.png) + +Within a few seconds, you will receive a confirmation that your swap is completed: +Note that the TFT is directly sent on your TF Connect app wallet. + +![image](./img/gettft_34.png) + +That's it. You've swapped XLM for TFT. + +You can now use your TFT to deploy workloads on the Threefold Grid. + +## Disclaimer + +> The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

This is a simple method that works well for small to medium purchases. You can buy TFT on Lobstr with your smartphone (Android and iOS) and your computer. + +Lobstr is an app for managing digital assets like TFT on the Stellar blockchain. In this case, we'll first obtain Stellar's native currency, Lumens (XLM) and swap them for TFT. + +> [Moonpay](https://www.moonpay.com/) is the service integrated in Lobstr to enable users to buy digital assets like XLM with fiat currencies like US Dollars and Euros. Moonpay is available in most regions, but there are some [exceptions](https://support.moonpay.com/hc/en-gb/articles/6557330712721-What-are-our-non-supported-countries-states-and-territories-for-on-ramp-product). If your country or state isn't supported by Moonpay, you will need to find another cryptocurrency exchange or on ramp to obtain XLM. From there, you can follow the rest of this guide. + +## Install Lobstr + +To get Lobstr, just head to [lobstr.co](https://lobstr.co/) where you'll find buttons to download the app for both Android and iOS. Once the app is installed, open it to continue. To use Lobstr directly on your browser, simply click on **Get Started** in the top menu of the Lobstr website. This allows you to use Lobstr on your computer instead of your smartphone. + +Hit the **Create Account** button and proceed to create an account by entering your email address and choosing a password. Verify your email address and then sign in. + +## Create Wallet + +After you sign in to Lobstr for the first time, you'll be prompted to create or connect a Stellar wallet. If you already have the TF Connect App, follow the instructions at [this link](./tft_lobstr_complete_guide.html#connect-your-tf-connect-app-wallet) to import your existing wallet into Lobstr. Otherwise, just press the **Create Stellar Wallet** button. + +Lobstr will then present you with 12 words to write down and store safely. Keep in mind that anyone who can access these words can also access any funds in your account. They can also be used to recover your account later. Be sure not to lose them. + +## Buy XLM + +In this step, we'll buy XLM with a credit or debit card (actually a few forms of bank transfer and other payment methods are [supported](https://support.moonpay.com/customers/docs/moonpays-supported-payment-methods-1) too). + +On the Lobstr app, click on the hamburger menu button: + +![image](./img/gettft_19.png) + +Then click on **Buy Crypto**: + +![image](./img/gettft_20.png) + +By default XLM is selected to buy, which is what we want. Above you can choose how much to buy in the currency of your choosing. Press **ALL** to see a full list of available currencies. + +Once you've entered the amount you want to buy, hit **Continue** and proceed through the checkout process with Moonpay. On the final screen, you'll see a message that it can take some time to complete the order: + +![image](./img/gettft_27.png) + +Usually this happens quickly and you'll receive a notification if notifications are enabled for the Lobstr app. + +## Swap XLM for TFT + +Once you have the XLM, use the hamburger menu again and this time select **Swap**: + +![image](./img/gettft_31.png) + +Enter TFT in the search bar and select the entry that includes **threefold.io**. + +> Be careful at this step! There are fake scam coins using the ThreeFold logo. We can't remove these tokens from Stellar, unfortunately, so you will need to be sure to choose the right one. + +![image](./img/gettft_32.png) + +On the next screen, XLM will be automatically selected as the currency to trade for TFT. The amount that's available to trade will be shown in blue. You can just tap this amount to trade the maximum amount. A couple XLM will be reserved to keep your account open and pay for future Stellar transaction fees. + +Hit the green button at the bottom to complete the trade. There will be a few more prompts and potentially some warnings about scam tokens (again, look for **threefold.io**). + +When you're finished you'll see a screen that says **Swap completed**.

In the context of cryptocurrency, a liquidity provider typically deposits an equal value of two different tokens into a liquidity pool. By doing so, they enable traders to easily swap between these tokens at any time, ensuring there is sufficient liquidity in the market. + +Indeed, becoming a TFT liquidity provider can vary based on the platform, wallet, or exchange, as well as the underlying blockchain. The pairing token also plays a role in determining the available liquidity pools for TFT. + +For instance, on PancakeSwap, you can become a TFT(BSC) liquidity provider by pairing it with BNB (Binance Coin) on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). On the other hand, platforms like 1inch.io may offer different pairing options, such as TFT(BSC) with BUSD (Binance USD) or other compatible tokens. + +Similarly, the blockchain being used can affect the liquidity provision options. For example, you can become a TFT liquidity provider on the Stellar blockchain using wallets like Albedo, specifically designed for Stellar assets. However, you cannot become a TFT(Stellar) liquidity provider on PancakeSwap, but you can become a TFT(BSC) liquidity provider instead, since it currently supports assets on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), not the Stellar blockchain. + +It is important to consider the specific platform, wallet, or exchange you are using, as well as the blockchain and available pairing tokens, to determine the appropriate method for becoming a TFT liquidity provider. Ensure you follow the guidelines and instructions provided by the respective platforms to successfully participate in the desired liquidity pool. + +*** +## Important Notice + +It's important to note that being a liquidity provider involves certain risks, such as impermanent loss, which occurs when the value of the tokens in the liquidity pool fluctuates.

You can find Authy on the App Store or Google Play, and Google Authenticator on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. + +Once you have installed the app, log in to your BTC-Alpha account. + +Right-Click on your name or profile icon located at the top-right corner of the website to access the account settings, and look for the option "**Enable Two-factor Authentication**" and click on it. + +![](img/alpha_auth.png) + +Follow the instructions provided to link your BTC-Alpha account with the Authy or Google Authenticator app. This usually involves scanning a QR code or manually entering a code provided by the app. + +![](img/alpha_2fa.png) + +Once the link is established, the app will start generating unique codes that you will need to enter during the login process for additional security. + +By enabling two-factor authentication, you add an extra layer of security to your BTC-Alpha account, helping to protect your funds and personal information. Make sure to keep your mobile device with the authenticator app secure, as it will be required each time you log in to your BTC-Alpha account. +*** +## Deposit TFT(Stellar) to Account + +To begin storing **TFT** on the BTC-Alpha exchange, you will need to deposit some TFT funds into your account. + +To deposit TFT into your BTC-Alpha account, follow these steps: + +Log in to your BTC-Alpha account and Click on the "Wallets" tab located in the top menu. + +![](img/alpha_wallet.png) + +Search for "**TFT**" in the list of available cryptocurrencies. + +![](./img/alpha_tft.png) + +You will be provided with a TFT deposit address. +Make sure you choose **ThreeFold Token (Stellar)** as your deposit method. + +To deposit, Copy this address or scan the QR code associated with it. As well as the Memo. + +Use your personal external TFT wallet or the wallet of another exchange to initiate a withdrawal to the provided deposit address. + +Ensure that you specify the correct deposit address and Memo. Double-check it before confirming the transaction. + +**IMPORTANT**: It is crucial to always include the correct memo when sending TFT (Stellar) tokens to ensure the transaction is processed accurately. Failing to include the memo or entering an incorrect memo can lead to the loss of TFT tokens. + +Wait for the transaction to be confirmed on the Stellar network. This may take some time depending on network congestion. +Once the transaction is confirmed, the TFT will be credited to your BTC-Alpha account balance. + +You can check your account balance by clicking on the "**Wallets**" tab or by navigating to the "**Balances**" section. + +Please note that the exact steps for depositing TFT may vary depending on the specific wallet or exchange you are using to send the funds. It is essential to double-check the deposit address and follow the instructions provided by your wallet or exchange to ensure a successful deposit. + +### Important Notice + +While it is possible to keep your TFT in your exchange wallet on BTC-Alpha, it is generally not recommended to store your funds there for an extended period. Public exchanges are more susceptible to security breaches and hacking attempts compared to personal wallets. + +To ensure the safety and security of your TFT holdings, it is advisable to transfer them to a dedicated TFT wallet. There are several options available for creating a TFT wallet, each with its own unique features and benefits. + +To explore different TFT wallet options and choose the one that best suits your needs, you can refer to our comprehensive [**TFT Wallet guide**](../storing_tft/tf_connect_app.md#create-a-wallet) that provides a list of recommended TFT wallets. This guide will help you understand the features, security measures, and compatibility of each wallet, enabling you to make an informed decision on where to store your TFT securely. + +Remember, maintaining control over your private keys and taking precautions to protect your wallet information are essential for safeguarding your TFT investments. + +If you are looking for ways to get / purchase TFT (Stellar) on BTC-Alpha by trading, you will find the according information [here](../buy_sell_tft/btc_alpha.md). +*** +## Disclaimer + +The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

+ +- [Introduction](#introduction) +- [Setting up a TFT Trustline on Stellar Blockchain](#setting-up-a-tft-trustline-on-stellar-blockchain) +- [Conclusion](#conclusion) +- [Disclaimer](#disclaimer) + +*** + +## Introduction + +You can store TFT on a hardwallet for optimal security. + +Also, if you are a farmer, instead of using the ThreeFold Connect app to receive your farming rewards (TFTs), you can also have your farming rewards sent to a hardware wallet. In this case, you will need to enable a TFT trustline to receive TFT. + +You can store TFT on a hardware wallet on Stellar chain, BSC or the Ethereum chain. For this guide, we show how to store TFT on a hardware wallet on Stellar chain. + +To store TFT on Stellar, you can use any hardware wallet that supports the Stellar Blockchain, such as a [Ledger](https://www.ledger.com/). + +## Setting up a TFT Trustline on Stellar Blockchain + +Setting up a trustline is simple. + +We will show an example with a Ledger hardware wallet. The process is similar with other hardware wallets. Just make sure that your hardware wallet is compatible with the Stellar blockchain, as the TFT from farming rewards will be sent on the Stellar Blockchain. + +* First, [download Ledger Live](https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/download) and download the Stellar application in **Manager**. +* Go on an official Stellar website such as [Stellarterm](https://stellarterm.com/) or [StellarX](https://www.stellarx.com/). For this example, we will be using Stellarterm.com. + +* Unlock your Ledger by entering your password. + +* Select the Stellar App. + * In our case, we do not need to create an account on Stellerterm, since we are using a hardware wallet. + +* On Stellarterm.com, click on the button **LOGIN**. + +![farming_wallet_7](./img/farming_wallet_7.png) + + +* At the bottom of the page, select the option **Ledger** or another option if you are using a different hardware wallet. + +![farming_wallet_8](./img/farming_wallet_8.png) + +* Click **Connect with Ledger**. + +![farming_wallet_9](./img/farming_wallet_9.png) + + +* Read and accept the Terms of Use. + +![farming_wallet_10](./img/farming_wallet_10.png) + + +* On the main page, click on **Assets**. + +![farming_wallet_11](./img/farming_wallet_11.png) + +* Scroll down and write **Threefold.io** in the Text box. Select **TFT Threefold.io**. Click **Accept**. Then follow the steps presented on your hardware wallet to confirm the trust line. + +![farming_wallet_12](./img/farming_wallet_12.png) +![farming_wallet_13](./img/farming_wallet_13.png) + +## Conclusion + +You now have a TFT trust line on the Stellar Blockchain. You can now receive TFT on this wallet. This is a perfect setup to farm TFT safely. + +When it comes to choosing where to send your farming rewards, you simply need to enter the address associated with your hardware wallet. + +## Disclaimer + +> The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be able to configure your MetaMask wallet to support TFT tokens on BSC and seamlessly participate in the TFT ecosystem. So let's dive in and explore how to set up TFT on MetaMask with Binance Smart Chain. + +## TFT Addresses + +With MetaMask, you can store TFT on both Binance Smart Chain and the Ethereum chain. Make sure to use the correct TFT address when doing transactions. + +### Ethereum Chain Address + +The ThreeFold Token (TFT) is available on Ethereum. +It is implemented as a wrapped asset with the following token address: + +``` +0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b +``` + +### BSC Address + +The ThreeFold Token (TFT) is available on BSC. +It is implemented as a wrapped asset with the following token address: + +``` +0x8f0FB159380176D324542b3a7933F0C2Fd0c2bbf +``` + +## Get Started + +We present the steps on BSC. Make sure to switch to Ethereum and to use the TFT Ethereum address if you want to proceed on Ethereum. + +### Install & Create Metamask Account + +Go to the [Metamask website](https://metamask.io/) to download and install the Metamask extension for your browser. Follow [this tutorial](https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/360015489531-Getting-started-with-MetaMask) to install metamask to your preferred browser and create. + +Once you’ve installed MetaMask, you’ll see the small fox icon at the top right of your screen, and a notification will appear, letting you know that the install was successful. + +![](./img/metamask_installed.png) + +**Create a Metamask account** + +![](./img/metamask_new.png) + +Assuming you are a new user, click the “**Create a Wallet**” button on the right to get started with a new wallet. + +![](./img/metamask_pass.png) + +This is your password for access to your wallet on your local device. As with all online accounts, you should ensure that you are using a strong password. On the next page, you’ll be given a set of 12 words that act as your **private key**. + +![](./img/metamask_privatekey.png) + +You can think of these words as your master key to all your digital assets. If you have lost or forgotten your password, you can use this set of 12 words to restore your wallet on any device. However, if anyone were to gain access to these 12 words, they could do the same. + +This passphrase is very important, so be sure to keep it safe. Once you have written them down, you can click the “Next” button. Then, just to make sure that you have written them down, MetaMask asks you to confirm your secret recovery phrase by selecting the words in the order they were originally given. You must write down your 12 words in the correct order. + +Once you’ve entered those words, you can click “Continue.” Then, you’re done! It’s that easy. + +### Configure a BSC Wallet (Mainnet) for your TFT + +MetaMask supports various wallet networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and more. By adding the BSC network, you can seamlessly manage and transact with BSC-based assets like TFT tokens directly within your MetaMask wallet. + + To configure a BSC wallet on MetaMask, you can add the BSC network by specifying the network details such as the chain ID, RPC URL, and symbol. + +### Switch Network from ETH to BSC (Auto Add) + +You might notice straight away that we’re still dealing with an Ethereum wallet. But we want to have a Wallet on BSC Network. To add a new network, click it to access a drop-down menu and hit the "**Add Network**” tab to proceed to the next step. + +![](./img/metamask_add.png) + +You can add BNB Smart Chain from the list of popular networks by clicking "Add", and approving the request once it pops up. + +![](./img/metamask_choose.png) + +After it's added. you will realize that your mainnet network has turned into “**Smart Chain**.” If you wish to change back to the Ethereum network, simply press on the “Smart Chain” menu on the top. + +![](./img/metamask_switch.png) + + +### Add TFT Asset to BSC Wallet (Mainnet) + +Now that you have successfully created a BSC Wallet, we will need to add TFT onto your BSC Wallet. + +To add, go to your 'assets' page and click on '**Import Tokens**' at the bottom of the page. + +![](./img/metamask_import.png) + +You can add TFT onto your wallet by either automatically adding it by typing '**TFT ON BSC (TFT)**' on '**search**' page, + +![](./img/metamask_tft_auto.png) + +or by going to '**custom token**' page and entering TFT details manually. Make sure you enter the right details below to add TFT to your wallet successfully: + +- **Token Contract Address**: ```0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf``` + +Metamask will add the rest of the details, once added, click 'Add custom token'. + +![](./img/metamask_custom.png) + +After the click, you will be asked by Metamask to confirm the token import. Click '**Import Tokens**'. + +![](./img/metamask_confirm.png) + +Congratulations, you have successfully added TFT to your BSC Wallet on Metamask. + +![](./img/metamask_tft.png) + +You should be seeing TFT listed on your Wallet homepage's 'Assets' section. Now that we've successfully listed TFT, we can go ahead and do TFT transactions via Metamask. + +![](./img/metamask_tft_home.png) + +## Important Notice + +To deposit TFT tokens to your MetaMask BSC wallet, **you can only initiate a transfer or swap from any other wallet or exchange platform that operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network.** Ensure that the platform you are using is on BSC to avoid the risk of losing tokens. + +For example, you cannot transfer TFT tokens directly from the TFConnect app to MetaMask, because TFT tokens on TFT Connect operate on the Stellar network, while TFT on MetaMask lives on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Network. + +But don't worry! You can still swap your Stellar TFT into BSC TFT and vice versa by bridging them using our [TFT BSC Bridge](https://bridge.bsc.threefold.io/). See tutorial [here](../tft_bridges/bsc_stellar_bridge.md). + +You can also buy TFTs on BSC-supported exchangers like [Pancake Swap](https://pancakeswap.finance/).

It operates as a hot wallet, meaning it is connected directly to the internet, and is available on both iOS and Android devices. Since its acquisition by Binance in 2018, Trust Wallet has become Binance's official decentralized wallet. It supports a vast array of digital assets, with over 4.5 million supported, and is compatible with more than 65 blockchains. Trusted by millions of users, Trust Wallet stands out for its seamless integration with platforms on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20), including popular ones like PancakeSwap. +*** +## How to Store TFT on Trust Wallet (BSC) + +### Download and Create a Trust Wallet Account + +Once you have downloaded the app (iOS / Android) via [https://trustwallet.com/](https://trustwallet.com/), Select “Create a new wallet” and press “Continue” to accept the terms. Get a pencil and paper ready because the warning Trust Wallet gives you is real: If you lose your recovery words (sometimes also known as a seed phrase or recovery phrase) you may lose access to your wallet and the crypto within it forever. + +![](./img/trust_create.png) + +A new screen will appear, prompting you to write down your recovery phrase. It is important you manually write it down and keep it in a safe, private place. Keeping the words in digital form is less secure and not recommended. + +![](./img/trust_backup.png) + +The recovery phase for Trust Wallet consists of 12 words. These words will be used in case you lose access to your wallet – and they are the only way to regain access to the wallet. So we’ll say it again: Keep them in a safe, private place. + +![](./img/trust_recover.png) + +To verify that you backed up your recovery phrases, Trust Wallet will prompt you to write them in sequential order as you’ve received them. + +![](./img/trust_verify.png) + +You will get a screen stating, “Your wallet was successfully created.” + +![](./img/trust_created.png) + +### Add TFT to Trust Wallet + +To add TFT to your Trust Wallet, you need to configure it manually as a 'custom token'. In Trust Wallet, a custom token refers to a token that is not natively supported or pre-listed on the wallet's default token list. + +In the 'Tokens' page, click on the 'settings' icon on the upper right corner to start adding a custom token. + +![](./img/threefold__trustwallet_overview.jpg) + +Search for TFT, and you will see a “No Asset Found” message with a Add Custom Token button.

BSC-Stellar Bridge Verification

+ +

Table of Contents

+ +- [Introduction](#introduction) +- [From Stellar to BSC](#from-stellar-to-bsc) +- [From BSC to Stellar](#from-bsc-to-stellar) +- [Conclusion](#conclusion) + +*** + +## Introduction + +In this guide, we show how to verify transactions on the BSC-Stellar bridge. + +When using the TFT bridge to Binance Chain (BSC), it's not simple to verify that tokens arrived at the destination wallet. The core reason is that it's not a regular token transfer, and so it doesn't show up that way in blockchain explorers. + +Instead, the result of using the bridge is a contract call that actually mints wrapped TFT on Binance Chain. The corresponding tokens are vaulted on Stellar, and when the bridge is used in the opposite direction, TFT on Binance Chain are burnt and then released on Stellar. Thus, the total number of TFT in circulation is constant throughout these operations. + +What we can do, instead of looking at token transfers, is to look for the mint events themselves. By parsing together data from a few different sources, we can verify that tokens sent to the bridge address on Stellar indeed arrived at their destination on Binance Chain. + +## From Stellar to BSC + +We start with a bridge example going from Stellar to BSC. For this tutorial, we'll use an example transaction found by looking at the transaction history from the [bridge wallet](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/account/GBFFWXWBZDILJJAMSINHPJEUJKB3H4UYXRWNB4COYQAF7UUQSWSBUXW5). This wallet uses both directions of bridging. In our case, we want to look for an inbound transaction. Here's an example: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_1.png) + +The first thing to do is decode the destination wallet address on Binance Chain, which is contained in the memo we see here on Stellar. It's encoded in base 64 and we can convert back to the original hex using a tool like this [Base64 to Hex Converter](https://base64.guru/converter/decode/hex): + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_2.png) + +The output is the destination address on Binance Chain. Since we usually write hex values with a leading `0x`, the full address in the normal format is `0x64df465bbcee5db45131e9406662818e8ba34fc0`. + +The other thing to note is the date and time of the original Stellar transaction. There are sometimes delays on the bridge, but we know that the outbound transaction on Binance Chain will always happen after the inbound transaction on Stellar. In this case, we are looking at the most recent transaction on the Stellar side of the bridge, so we can just look for the most recent transaction on the Binance side too. + +To do that, we'll go to the [Bitquery explorer](https://explorer.bitquery.io/bsc) for BSC. We're looking for the token contract for TFT on Binance Chain, which you can find in our documentation: `0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf`. + +On the [contract page](https://explorer.bitquery.io/bsc/token/0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf), click **Events**: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_3.png) + +Then on the row **Mint** events, click on the icon aligned with the **Event Count** column: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_4.png) + +We then arrive at [this page](https://explorer.bitquery.io/bsc/txs/events?contract=0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf&event=85a66b9141978db9980f7e0ce3b468cebf4f7999f32b23091c5c03e798b1ba7a): + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_5.png) + +You can use the **Date range** selector here to look for events in the past. In this case, we'll just look for the latest one, since that's what we're using for our example. Click the transaction link and then copy the transaction hash from the next page: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_6.png) + +To get a look into the contract call, we switch over to [BscScan](https://bscscan.com/) at this point for a better view. Search for the transaction hash and then select the event log. We will then see the output address and the amount of TFT minted in the data below: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_7.png) + +We can see that the address matches the one we decoded from the Stellar memo. As for the **tokens** amount, we need to account fo the fact that TFT uses 7 decimal places. For this reason, we move the decimal place by dividing by 1e7 (i.e. 1x10⁷): + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_8.png) + +The original transaction on Stellar was for 2600 TFT, and the output after subtracting the 100 TFT bridge fee is 2500 TFT. + +## From BSC to Stellar + +Now, we will see a bridge example going from BSC to Stellar. This time, we start at the BscScan explorer. + +Here is an example bridge transaction, as seen from the account transactions view, which is the default view if you search for a wallet address: + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar1.jpeg) + +We can identify it because it's using the **Withdraw** method in a transaction to the TFT contract address on BSC. + +If we open the [Transaction Details page](https://bscscan.com/tx/0xae2a9b5cdad652ecb1e6252ee44a7f0e3c5fc9cdf1df9fddff3b0c100c4b3cb5) by clicking on the transaction hash and switch to the **Logs** view, we can see more details: + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar2.png) + +In particular, this shows us the destination address on Stellar and the TFT amount. To get the decimal form, we once again divide by 1e7 (i.e. 1x10⁷). + +Back on StellarExpert, we can find a transaction on the same date just shortly after the transaction on BSC, for the same amount of TFT minus the 1 TFT bridge fee. It originates from the bridge address on Stellar and the destination is the address we see in the contract call above: + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar3.png) + +As a final step, we double-check that the transaction we see on Stellar is actually the result of the bridge interaction we saw on BSC. It's possible, after all, that the user has sent multiple transactions with the same amount. To do this, we look at the memo on the Stellar transaction. As above, we need to convert from base 64 to hex again. To do so, we can once again use the [Base64 to HEX Converter](https://base64.guru/converter/decode/hex): + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar4.png) + +If the output hex doesn't already look familiar, you can compare it to the transaction hash from above, while remembering that `0x` is just a formatting convention indicating that hex data follows. Indeed, we can even search it on BscScan, to come full circle back to transaction details page we have seen before. + +We have made a direct link between the use of the bridge contract on BSC and the resulting payment from the bridge on Stellar. + +## Conclusion + +In this guide, we covered how to verify bridge transactions going from BSC to Stellar and from Stellar to BSC. + +In the world of public blockchains, all data is recorded and accessible, but sometimes it takes some investigation to find what we are looking for. + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Grid Tester Community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) on Telegram. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

This bridge enhances interoperability and expands the utility of TFT by allowing users to leverage the strengths of both platforms. With the bridge in place, TFT holders can convert their tokens from the Stellar network to the Ethereum network and vice versa, unlocking new possibilities for engagement with decentralized applications, smart contracts, and the vibrant Ethereum ecosystem. This bridge promotes liquidity, facilitates cross-chain transactions, and encourages collaboration between the Stellar and Ethereum communities. + + + +## How to Use the Ethereum-Stellar Bridge + +The easiest way to transfer TFT between Ethereum and Stellar is to use the [TFT Ethereum Bridge](https://bridge.eth.threefold.io). We present here the main steps on how to use this bridge. + +When you go to the [TFT Ethereum-Stellar bridge website](https://bridge.eth.threefold.io/), connect your Ethereum wallet. Then the bridge will present a QR code which you scan with your Stellar wallet.

The bridge will scan the transaction, decode the Ethereum wallet address, and deliver newly minted TFT on Ethereum, minus the bridge fees. + +For the reverse operation, going from Ethereum to Stellar, there is a smart contract interaction that burns TFT on Ethereum while embedding your Stellar wallet address. The bridge will scan that transaction and release TFT from its vault wallet to the specified Stellar address, again minus the bridge fees. + +Note that the contract address for TFT on Ethereum is the following: `0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b`. + +To see the ThreeFold Token on Etherscan, check [this link](https://etherscan.io/token/0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b). + +## Bridge Fees + +To learn more about the bridge fees, read [this documentation](../../transaction_fees.md). + +## Questions and Feedback + +If you have any question, feel free to write a post on the [Threefold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/documentation/threefold_token/tft_intro.md b/collections/documentation/threefold_token/tft_intro.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2472a94 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/documentation/threefold_token/tft_intro.md @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +# An Introduction to the ThreeFold Token (TFT) + +ThreeFold tokens, or TFTs, are exclusively generated when new capacity is added to the TF Grid.

You have to do this after having deployed the CapRover instance, otherwise you won't have access to the VM IP address. + +Let’s say your domain is **example.com** and your subdomain is **subdomain**. You can set **\*.subdomain.example.com** as an A record in your DNS settings to point to the VM IP address of the server hosting the CapRover instance, where **\*** acts as the wildcard. To do this, go to the DNS settings of your domain name registrar, and set a wild card A record entry. + +On your domain name registrar, you can manage your DNS settings as such, with **subdomain** as an example: + +| Record | Host | Value | TTL | +| ------ | ------------- | ------------- | --------- | +| A | @ | VM IP address | Automatic | +| A | subdomain | VM IP address | Automatic | +| A | \*.subdomain | VM IP address | Automatic | + +We note here that **@** is the root domain (@ takes the value of your domain name, e.g. **example** in **example.com**), **subdomain** is the name of your subdomain (it can be anything you want), and **\*.subdomain** is the wildcard for **subdomain**. If you don't want to use a subdomain, but only the domain, you could use a wildcard linked to the domain instead of the subdomain (e.g. put **\*** instead of **\*.subdomain** in the column **Host**). + +Once you've point a wildcard DNS entry to your CapRover IP address and that the DNS is properly propagated, you can click the **Admin Panel** button to access CapRover. This will lead you to the following URL (with **subdomain.example.com** as an example): + +> captain.subdomain.example.com + +Note that, to confirm the DNS propagation, you can use a [DNS lookup tool](https://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx). As an example, you can use the URL **captain.subdomain.example.com** to check if the IP address resolves to the VM IP address. + +### Domain Name Example + +In the following example, we pick ```apps.openly.life``` which is a domain name that will point to the IP address of the CapRover instance (which we only know after deployment). + +![ ](./img/domain_name_caprover_config.png) + +> Note how the *.apps.openly.life points to the public IPv4 address that has been returned from the deployment. + +## How to Know the IP Address + +Go back to your CapRover weblet and go to the deployment list.

You can either use your own, which we'll call a *custom domain*, or you can get a free subdomain from a gateway node. This won't impact the function of your deployment, it's just a matter of preference. If you want to use your own domain, follow the steps for custom domain wherever you see them below. + +Another choice to make before launching your Nextcloud instance is whether you want to reserve a public IPv4 for the deployment. Renting a public IP is an extra cost and is only required for the dedicated Nextcloud Talk video conferencing backend, recommended for calls with more than four participants. If you don't reserve a public IP, you can still use Talk in a more limited fashion (see the [Talk](#talk) section below for details). + +If you're not sure and just want the easiest, most affordable option, skip the public IP and use a gateway domain. + + + +# Deploy Nextcloud + +* On the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), click on solutions from the sidebar, then click on **Nextcloud** +* Choose a name for your deployment + * Note: You can use the auto-generated name if you want +* Select a capacity package: + * **Minimum**: {cpu: 2, memory: 4gb, diskSize: 50gb } + * **Standard**: {cpu: 2, memory: 8gb, diskSize: 500gb } + * **Recommended**: {cpu: 4, memory: 16gb, diskSize: 1000gb } + * Or choose a **Custom** plan +* If want to reserve a public IPv4 address, click on Network then select **Public IPv4** +* If you want a [dedicated](../deploy/dedicated_machines.md) and/or a certified node, select the corresponding option +* Choose the location of the node + * `Country` + * `Farm Name` +* Select a node +* If you want to use a custom domain, click on **Custom domain** under **Domain Name** and write your domain name + * Example: `nextcloudwebsite.com` +* The **Select gateway** box will be visible whenever a gateway is required.

If you are using a custom domain with a public IPv4, you'll need to set your DNS record now using the IP address shown under **Public IPv4**. Again, see [below](#dns-details) for details. + +Before you can access Nextcloud itself, you'll need to decide which addons you want to install and complete a setup step. This is done through the AIO interface that's included with your deployment. To access it, you can visit the **Nextcloud Setup** link shown in the details page, or click on the **Nextcloud Setup** button under **Actions** in the deployments list to set up Nextcloud. + +* Once you have access to the **Nextcloud AIO setup page**, you will be given a password composed of 8 words. + * Use this password to access the **Nextcloud AIO interface page**. + * Store this password somewhere safe. It's only possible to recover it by using SSH. +* On the next page, you can add **Optionals addons** if you want. +* Click on **Download and start containers** to start the Nextcloud instance. +* Once the containers are properly started, you can access the Nextcloud admin login page by clicking **Open your Nextcloud**. + * You will be given an **Initial Nextcloud user name** and an **Initial Nextcloud password**.

You will need to add a **DNS A record** (Host: "@", Value: ) to your domain to access Nextcloud. This record type indicates the IP address of a given domain. + +## DNS Record with Gateway + +Before starting the deployment, you will need to add a **DNS A record** (Host: "@", Value: ) to your domain. The gateway IP will be shown to you when you select this option. + +## DNS Propagation + +When setting your own custom domain, it might take time for DNS to propagate. It is possible that you see the following message when opening the Nextcloud page: + +>"This site can't be reached. DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem." + +This is normal. You might simply need to wait for the DNS to propagate completely. + + + +# Talk + +If you don't rent a public IP with your deployement, it's still possible to use Nextcloud Talk in a more limited fashion. It's generally understood that this method can work well for up to four participants in a call, and text chat also works without restriction. For larger calls, the dedicated backend, which requires a public IP, is recommended. + +While some calls can go entirely peer-to-peer and don't require any setup beyond installing the Talk app, a TURN server can be helpful to relay data when a peer-to-peer connection can't be established. There's more information on TURN servers after the install instructions. + +## Install Talk + +To install Talk, do the following: + +* Open the dropdown menu at the top right of the Nextcloud page +* Click on **Apps** +* In the left-side menu, select **Social & communication** +* Scroll down and locate the Talk app +* Click on **Download and enable** + +Once the Talk app is downloaded and enabled, you can find its icon at the top bar menu. + +## TURN + +As mentioned before, TURN servers relay data to help call participants connect to each other. All data sent to TURN server is encrypted in this case, so it's perfectly safe to use a free public server. + +That said, such free servers are not common, because relaying video chat uses a lot of bandwidth. As of the time of writing, Open Relay Project is one example that includes [instructions for use with Nextcloud Talk](https://www.metered.ca/tools/openrelay/#turn-server-for-nextcloud-talk). + +TURN server configuration can be found by opening the Talk settings, like this: + +* Open the dropdown menu at the top right of the Nextcloud page +* Click on **Personal settings** +* In the left-side menu, select **Talk** + +## Use Talk + +Once you've installed Talk and optionally added a TURN server, you can use Talk to create video conferences. + +Note that the host of the video meeting might need to turn the VPN off before creating a new conversation. + + + +# Backups and Updates + +## Create a Backup + +In the section **Backup and restore**, you can set a [BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) of your Nextcloud instance. + +* Add a mount point and a directory name for your backup (e.g. **/mnt/backup**) and click **Submit backup location**. +* After the creation of the backup location, write down the **encryption password for backups** somewhere safe and offline. +* Click **Create backup** to create a BorgBackup of your Nextcloud instance. + * This will stop all containers, run the backup container and create the backup. +* Once the backup is complete, you can click on **Start containers** to restart the Nextcloud instance. + +## Automatic Backups and Updates + +After the first manual backup of your Nextcloud instance is complete, you can set automatic backups and updates. + +* In the section **Backup and restore**, open the dropdown menu **Click here to reveal all backup options**. +* In the section **Daily backup and automatic updates**, choose a time for your daily backup and click **Submit backup time**. + * To set automatic updates, make sure that the option **Automatically update all containers, the mastercontainer and on** is selected. + + + +# Troubleshooting + +## Retrieve the Nextcloud AIO Password + +You can retrieve the Nextcloud AIO password (8 words) by writing the following command line on the VM hosting your Nextcloud instance: + +``` +cat /mnt/data/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer/_data/data/configuration.json | grep password +``` + +## Access the Nextcloud Interface Page + +To access the Nextcloud interface page, follow those stepse + +* Open your Nextcloud instance +* In the top right Profile menu, select **Administration Settings** +* Under **Nextcloud All-in-One**, click **Open Nextcloud AIO Interface** + + + +## Check the DNS Propagation + +You can check if the DNS records are propagated globally with DNS propagation check services such as [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/).

That translates to 42.4% of all websites – nearly half of the internet.

You can either use your own, which we'll call a **custom domain**, or you can get a free subdomain from a gateway node. Note that this won't impact the function of your deployment, it's just a matter of preference. If you want to use your own domain, follow the steps for custom domain wherever you see them below. + +Another choice to make before launching your WordPress instance is whether you want to reserve a public IPv4 for the deployment. Note that renting a public IPv4 address is an extra cost. If you do not enable IPv4, the deployment will be provided a gateway IPv4 address. + +If you're not sure and just want the easiest, most affordable option, do not enable public IPv4 nor custom domain. + +# DNS Details with Custom Domain + +In this section, we cover the essential DNS information when deploying a WordPress instance with a custom domain. + +You can skip this section if you did not enable **Custom Domain** in **Domain Name**. + +As a general reference, here is what setting a DNS A record can look like: + +![ ](img/wp11.png) + +This record type indicates the IP address of a given domain. + +## DNS Record with Public IPv4 + +Consider the following if you've enabled **Custom Domain** in **Domain Name** and **Public IPv4** in **Network**. + +After deployment, you will have access to the IPv4 address of the VM you deployed on.

It is possible that you see the following message when opening the WordPress page: + +>"This site can't be reached. DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem." + +This is normal. You might simply need to wait for the DNS to propagate completely. + +You can check if the DNS records are propagated globally with DNS propagation check services such as [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/).

We will be creating a Debian Flist and we will deploy a micro VM on the ThreeFold Playground and access our Debian deployment. + +To do all this, we will need to create a Docker Hub account, create a Dockerfile, a docker image and a docker container, then convert the docker image to a Zero-OS flist. After all this, we will be deploying our Debian workload on the ThreeFold Playground. You'll see, it's pretty straightforward and fun to do. + + + +### You Said Flist? + +First, let's recall what an flist actually is and does. In short, an flist is a very effective way to deal with software data and the end result is fast deployment and high reliability. + +In a flist, we separate the metadata from the data. The metadata is a description of what files are in that particular image. It's the data providing information about the app/software. Thanks to flist, the 3Node doesn't need to install a complete software program in order to run properly. Only the necessary files are installed. Zero-OS can read the metadata of a container and only download and execute the necessary binaries and applications to run the workload, when it is necessary. + +Sounds great? It really is great, and very effective! + +One amazing thing about the flist technology is that it is possible to convert any Docker image into an flist, thanks to the [ThreeFold Docker Hub Converter tool](https://hub.grid.tf/docker-convert). If this sounds complicated, fear not. It is very easy and we will show you how to proceed in this case study. + + + +### Case Study Objective + +The goal of this case study is to give you enough information and tools so that you can yourself build your own flist projects and deploy on the ThreeFold Grid. + +This case study is not meant to show you all the detailed steps on creating an flist from scratch. We will instead start with some files templates available on the ThreeFold repository [tf-images](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images). This is one of the many advantages of working with open-source projects: we can easily get inspiration from the already available codes of the many ThreeFold repositories and work our way up from there. + + + +### The Overall Process + +To give you a bird's view of the whole project, here are the main steps: + +* Create the Docker image +* Push the Docker image to the Docker Hub +* Convert the Docker image to a Zero-OS flist +* Deploy a micro VM with the flist on the ThreeFold Playground + + + +## Docker Image Creation + +As we've said previously, we will not explore all the details of creating an flist from scratch. This would be done in a subsequent guide. For now, we want to take existing codes and work our way from there. This is not only quicker, but it is a good way to get to know the ThreeFold's ecosystem and repositories. + +We will be using the code available on the [ThreeFold Tech's Github page](https://github.com/threefoldtech). In our case, we want to explore the repository [tf-images](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images). + +If you go on the subsection [tfgrid3](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3), you can see many different flists available. In our case, we want to deploy the Debian Linux distribution. It is thus logic to try and find similar Linux distributions to take inspiration from. + +For this case study, we draw inspiration from the [Ubuntu 22.04](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/ubuntu22.04) directory. + +If we look at the Ubuntu 22.04 directory tree, this is what we get: + +``` +. +├── Dockerfile +├── README.md +├── start.sh +└── zinit + ├── ssh-init.yaml + └── sshd.yaml +``` + +We will now explore each of those files to get a good look at the whole repository and try to understand how it all works together. + +### Dockerfile + +We recall that to make a Docker image, you need to create a Dockerfile. As per [Docker's documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/), a Dockerfile is "a Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image". + +The Ubuntu 22.04 Dockerfile is as follows: + +File: `Dockerfile` + +```Dockerfile +FROM ubuntu:22.04 + +RUN apt update && \ + apt -y install wget openssh-server + +RUN wget -O /sbin/zinit https://github.com/threefoldtech/zinit/releases/download/v0.2.5/zinit && \ + chmod +x /sbin/zinit + +COPY zinit /etc/zinit +COPY start.sh /start.sh + +RUN chmod +x /sbin/zinit && chmod +x /start.sh +ENTRYPOINT ["zinit", "init"] +``` + +We can see from the first line that the Dockerfile will look for the docker image `ubuntu:22.04`. In our case, we want to get the Debian 12 docker image. This information is available on the Docker Hub (see [Debian Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/debian)). + +We will thus need to change the line `FROM ubuntu:22.04` to the line `FROM debian:12`. It isn't more complicated than that! + +We now have the following Dockerfile fore the Debian docker image: + +File: `Dockerfile` + +```Dockerfile +FROM debian:12 + +RUN apt update && \ + apt -y install wget openssh-server + +RUN wget -O /sbin/zinit https://github.com/threefoldtech/zinit/releases/download/v0.2.5/zinit && \ + chmod +x /sbin/zinit + +COPY zinit /etc/zinit +COPY start.sh /start.sh + +RUN chmod +x /sbin/zinit && chmod +x /start.sh +ENTRYPOINT ["zinit", "init"] +``` + +There is nothing more needed here. Pretty fun to start from some existing open-source code, right? + +### Docker Image Script + +The other important file we will be looking at is the `start.sh` file. This is the basic script that will be used to properly set the docker image. Thankfully, there is nothing more to change in this file, we can leave it as is. As we will see later, this file will be executed by zinit when the container starts. + +File: `start.sh` + +```.sh +#!/bin/bash + +mkdir -p /var/run/sshd +mkdir -p /root/.ssh +touch /root/.ssh/authorized_keys + +chmod 700 /root/.ssh +chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys + +echo "$SSH_KEY" >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +### zinit Folder + +Next, we want to take a look at the zinit folder. + +But first, what is zinit? In a nutshell, zinit is a process manager (pid 1) that knows how to launch, monitor and sort dependencies. It thus executes targets in the proper order. For more information on zinit, check the [zinit repository](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zinit). + +When we start the Docker container, the files in the folder zinit will be executed. + +If we take a look at the file `ssh-init.yaml`, we find the following: + +```.yaml +exec: bash /start.sh +log: stdout +oneshot: true +```` + +We can see that the first line calls the [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) Unix shell and that it will run the file `start.sh` we've seen earlier. + +In this zinit service file, we define a service named `ssh-init.yaml`, where we tell zinit which commands to execute (here `bash /start.sh`), where to log (here in `stdout`) and where `oneshot` is set to `true` (meaning that it should only be executed once). + +If we take a look at the file `sshd.yaml`, we find the following: + +```.yaml +exec: bash -c "/usr/sbin/sshd -D" +after: + - ssh-init +``` + +Here another service `sshd.yaml` runs after the `ssh-init.yaml` process. + +### README.md File + +As every good programmer knows, a good code is nothing without some good documentation to help others understand what's going on! This is where the `README.md` file comes into play. + +In this file, we can explain what our code is doing and offer steps to properly configure the whole deployment. For the users that will want to deploy the flist on the ThreeFold Playground, they would need the FLIst URL and the basic steps to deploy a Micro VM on the TFGrid. We will thus add this information in the README.md file. This information can be seen in the [section below](#deploy-the-flist-on-the-tf-playground). To read the complete README.md file, go to [this link](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/debian). + +### Putting it All Together + +We've now went through all the files available in the Ubuntu 22.04 directory on the tf-images repository. To build your own image, you would simply need to put all those files in a local folder on your computer and follow the steps presented at the next section, [Docker Publishing Steps](#docker-publishing-steps). + +To have a look at the final result of the changes we bring to the Ubuntu 22.04 version, have a look at this [Debian directory](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/debian) on the ThreeFold's tf-images repository. + + + +## Docker Publishing Steps + +### Create Account and Access Token + +To be able to push Docker images to the Docker Hub, you obviously need to create a Docker Hub account! This is very easy and please note that there are so many amazing documentation on Docker online. If you're lost, make the most of your favorite search engine and find a way out of the blue. + +Here are the steps to create an account and an access token. + +* Go to the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) +* Click `Register` and follow the steps given by Docker +* On the top right corner, click on your account name and select `Account Settings` +* On the left menu, click on `Security` +* Click on `New Access Token` +* Choose an Access Token description that you will easily identify then click `Generate` + * Make sure to set the permissions `Read, Write, Delete` +* Follow the steps given to properly connect your local computer to the Docker Hub + * Run `docker login -u ` + * Set the password + +You now have access to the Docker Hub from your local computer. We will then proceed to push the Docker image we've created. + +### Build and Push the Docker Image + +* Make sure the Docker Daemon is running +* Build the docker container + * Template: + * ``` + docker build -t / . + ``` + * Example: + * ``` + docker build -t username/debian12 . + ``` +* Push the docker container to the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) + * Template: + * ``` + docker push / + ``` + * Example: + * ``` + docker push username/debian12 + ``` +* You should now see your docker image on the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) when you go into the menu option `My Profile`. + * Note that you can access this link quickly with the following template: + * ``` + https://hub.docker.com/u/ + ``` + + + +## Convert the Docker Image to an Flist + +We will now convert the Docker image into a Zero-OS flist. This part is so easy you will almost be wondering why you never heard about flist before! + +* Go to the [ThreeFold Hub](https://hub.grid.tf/). +* Sign in with the ThreeFold Connect app. +* Go to the [Docker Hub Converter](https://hub.grid.tf/docker-convert) section. +* Next to `Docker Image Name`, add the docker image repository and name, see the example below: + * Template: + * `/docker_image_name:tagname` + * Example: + * `username/debian12:latest` +* Click `Convert the docker image`. +* Once the conversion is done, the flist is available as a public link on the ThreeFold Hub. +* To get the flist URL, go to the [TF Hub main page](https://hub.grid.tf/), scroll down to your 3Bot ID and click on it. +* Under `Name`, you will see all your available flists. +* Right-click on the flist you want and select `Copy Clean Link`. This URL will be used when deploying on the ThreeFold Playground. We show below the template and an example of what the flist URL looks like. + * Template: + * ``` + https://hub.grid.tf/<3BOT_name.3bot>/--.flist + ``` + * Example: + * ``` + https://hub.grid.tf/idrnd.3bot/username-debian12-latest.flist + ``` + + + +## Deploy the Flist on the TF Playground + +* Go to the [ThreeFold Playground](https://play.grid.tf). +* Set your profile manager. +* Go to the [Micro VM](https://play.grid.tf/#/vm) page. +* Choose your parameters (name, VM specs, etc.). +* Under `flist`, paste the Debian flist from the TF Hub you copied previously. +* Make sure the entrypoint is as follows: + * ``` + /sbin/zinit init + ``` +* Choose a 3Node to deploy on +* Click `Deploy` + +That's it!

We will show the process of creating a Nextcloud All-in-One flist and we will deploy a micro VM on the ThreeFold Playground to access our Nextcloud instance. As a reference, the official Nextcloud flist is available [here](https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-apps/threefoldtech-nextcloudaio-latest.flist.md). + +To achieve all this, we will need to create a Docker Hub account, create a Dockerfile and its associated files, a docker image and a docker container, then convert the docker image to a Zero-OS flist. After all this, we will be deploying our Nextcloud instance on the ThreeFold Playground. + +As a general advice, before creating an flist for a ThreeFold deployment, you should make sure that you are able to deploy your workload properly by using a micro VM or a full VM on the TFGrid. Once you know all the steps to deploy your workload, and after some thorough tests, you can take what you've learned and incorporate all this into an flist. + +## Flist: What is It? + +Before we go any further, let us recall what is an flist. In short, an flist is a technology for storing and efficiently sharing sets of files. While it has many great features, it's purpose in this case is simply to deliver the image contents to Zero-OS for execution as a micro VM. It thus acts as a bundle of files like a normal archive. + +One convenient thing about the flist technology is that it is possible to convert any Docker image into an flist, thanks to the [ThreeFold Docker Hub Converter tool](https://hub.grid.tf/docker-convert). It is very easy to do and we will show you how to proceed in this case study. For a quick guide on converting Docker images into flists, read [this section](../flist_hub/convert_docker_image.md) of the ThreeFold Manual. + +## Case Study Objective + +The goal of this case study is to give you enough information and tools so that you can build your own flist projects and deploy on the ThreeFold Grid. + +We will explore the different files needed to create the flist and explain the overall process. Instead of starting from scratch, we will analyze the Nextcloud flist directory in the [tf-images](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/nextcloud) ThreeFold Tech repository. As the project is already done, it will be easier to get an overview of the process and the different components so you can learn to create your own. + +## The Overall Process + +To give you a bird's-eye view of the whole project, here are the main steps: + +* Create the Docker image +* Push the Docker image to the Docker Hub +* Convert the Docker image to a Zero-OS flist +* Deploy a micro VM with the flist on the ThreeFold Playground with Terraform + +One important thing to have in mind is that, when we create an flist, what we are doing is basically automating the required steps to deploy a given workload on the TFGrid. Usually, these steps would be done manually and step-by-step by an individual deploying on a micro or a full VM. + +Once we've successfully created an flist, we thus have a very quick way to deploy a specific workload while always obtaining the same result. This is why it is highly recommended to test a given deployment on a full or micro VM before building an flist. + +For example, in the case of building a Nextcloud All-in-One flist, the prerequisites would be to successfully deploy a Nextcloud AIO instance on a full VM by executing each step sequentially. This specific example is documented in the Terraform section [Nextcloud All-in-One Guide](../../../system_administrators/terraform/advanced/terraform_nextcloud_aio.md) of the System Administrators book. + +In our case, the flist we will be using has some specific configurations depending on the way we deploy Nextcloud (e.g. using or not the gateway and a custom domain). The Terraform **main.tf** we will be sharing later on will thus take all this into account for a smooth deployment. + +# Docker Image Creation + +As we've said previously, we will explore the different components of the existing Nextcloud flist directory. We thus want to check the existing files and try to understand as much as possible how the different components work together. This is also a very good introduction to the ThreeFold ecosystem. + +We will be using the files available on the [ThreeFold Tech Github page](https://github.com/threefoldtech). In our case, we want to explore the repository [tf-images](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images). + +If you go in the subsection [tfgrid3](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3), you can see many different flists available. In our case, we want to deploy the [Nextcloud All-in-One Flist](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/nextcloud). + +## Nextcloud Flist Directory Tree + +The Nextcloud flist directory tree is the following: + +``` +tree tf-images/tfgrid3/nextcloud +. +├── Caddyfile +├── Dockerfile +├── README.md +├── scripts +│ ├── caddy.sh +│ ├── nextcloud_conf.sh +│ ├── nextcloud.sh +│ ├── sshd_init.sh +│ └── ufw_init.sh +└── zinit + ├── caddy.yaml + ├── dockerd.yaml + ├── nextcloud-conf.yaml + ├── nextcloud.yaml + ├── sshd.yaml + ├── ssh-init.yaml + ├── ufw-init.yaml + └── ufw.yaml +``` + +We can see that the directory is composed of a Caddyfile, a Dockerfile, a README.md and two directories, **scripts** and **zinit**. We will now explore each of those components to have a good grasp of the whole repository and to understand how it all works together. + +To get a big picture of this directory, we could say that the **README.md** file provides the necessary documentation for the users to understand the Nextcloud flist, how it is built and how it works, the **Caddyfile** provides the necessary requirements to run the reverse proxy, the **Dockerfile** specifies how the Docker image is built, installing things such as [openssh](https://www.openssh.com/) and the [ufw firewall](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall) for secure remote connection, while the two folders, **scripts** and **zinit**, could be said to work hand-in-hand. + +Each `.yaml` file is a *unit file* for zinit. That means it specifies a single service for zinit to start. We'll learn more about these files later, but for now we can just note that each script file (ending with `.sh`) has an associated zinit file to make sure that the script is run. There are also some other files for running programs aside from our scripts. + +## Caddyfile + +For our Nextcloud deployment, we are using Caddy as a reverse proxy. A reverse proxy is an application that sits in front of back-end applications and forwards client requests to those applications. + +Since Nextcloud AIO actually includes two web applications, both Nextcloud itself and the AIO management interface, we use the reverse proxy to serve them both on a single domain. It also allows us to make some changes on the fly to the content of the AIO site to considerably enhance the user experience. Finally, we also use Caddy to provide SSL termination if the user reserves a public IP and no gateway, since otherwise SSL termination is provided by the gateway. + +File: `Caddyfile` +``` +{ + order replace after encode + servers { + trusted_proxies static 100.64.0.0/10 10.0.0.0/8 + } +} + + +{$DOMAIN}:{$PORT} { + handle_path /aio* { + replace { + href="/ href="/aio/ + src="/ src="/aio/ + action=" action="/aio + url(' url('/aio + `value="" placeholder="nextcloud.yourdomain.com"` `value="{$DOMAIN}"` + `"Submit domain"` `"Submit domain" id="domain-submit"` + {$REPLACEMENTS} + {$BODY} + } + + reverse_proxy localhost:8000 { + header_down Location "^/(.*)$" "/aio/$1" + header_down Refresh "^/(.*)$" "/aio/$1" + } + + } + + redir /api/auth/getlogin /aio{uri} + + reverse_proxy localhost:11000 + + handle_errors { + @502-aio expression {err.status_code} == 502 && path('/aio*') + handle @502-aio { + header Content-Type text/html + respond < + Nextcloud + Your Nextcloud management interface isn't ready.

These include the possible source addresses for gateway traffic, which we mark as trusted for compatibility with some Nextcloud features. + +After the global config at the top, the line `{$DOMAIN}:{$PORT}` defines the port that Caddy will listen to and the domain that we are using for our site. This is important, because in the case that port `443` is specified, Caddy will handle SSL certificates automatically. + +The following blocks define behavior for different URL paths that users might try to access. + +To begin, we have `/aio*`. This is how we place the AIO management app in a "subfolder" of our main domain. To accomplish that we need a few rules that rewrite the contents of the returned pages to correct the links. We also add some text replacements here to accomplish the enhancements mentioned earlier, like automatically filling the domain entry field. + +With the `reverse_proxy` line, we specify that requests to all URLs starting with `/aio` should be sent to the web server running on port `8000` of `localhost`. That's the port where the AIO server is listening, as we'll see below. There's also a couple of header rewrite rules here that correct the links for any redirects the AIO site makes. + +The `redir` line is needed to support a feature where users open the AIO interface from within Nextcloud. This redirects the original request to the correct equivalent within the `/aio` "subfolder". + +Then there's a second `reverse_proxy` line, which is the catch-all for any traffic that didn't get intercepted earlier. This handles the actual Nextcloud app and sends the traffic to its separate server running on port `11000`. + +The section starting with `handle_errors` ensures that the user will receive an understandable error message when trying to access the Nextcloud deployment before it has fully started up. + +## Dockerfile + +We recall that to make a Docker image, you need to create a Dockerfile. As per the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/), a Dockerfile is "a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image". + +File: `Dockerfile` + +```Dockerfile +FROM ubuntu:22.04 + +RUN apt update && \ + apt -y install wget openssh-server curl sudo ufw inotify-tools iproute2 + +RUN wget -O /sbin/zinit https://github.com/threefoldtech/zinit/releases/download/v0.2.5/zinit && \ + chmod +x /sbin/zinit + +RUN wget -O /sbin/caddy 'https://caddyserver.com/api/download?os=linux&arch=amd64&p=github.com%2Fcaddyserver%2Freplace-response&idempotency=43631173212363' && \ + chmod +x /sbin/caddy + +RUN curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o /usr/local/bin/install-docker.sh && \ + chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-docker.sh + +RUN sh /usr/local/bin/install-docker.sh + +COPY ./Caddyfile /etc/caddy/ +COPY ./scripts/ /scripts/ +COPY ./zinit/ /etc/zinit/ +RUN chmod +x /scripts/*.sh + +ENTRYPOINT ["/sbin/zinit", "init"] +``` + +We can see from the first line that this Dockerfile uses a base image of Ubuntu Linux version 22.04. + +With the first **RUN** command, we refresh the package lists, and then install **openssh**, **ufw** and other dependencies for our Nextcloud uses. Note that we also install **curl** so that we can quickly install **Docker**. + +With the second **RUN** command, we install **zinit** and we give it execution permission with the command `chmod +x`. More will be said about zinit in a section below. + +With the third **RUN** command, we install **caddy** and we give it execution permission with the command `chmod +x`. Caddy is an extensible, cross-platform, open-source web server written in Go. For more information on Caddy, check the [Caddy website](https://caddyserver.com/). + +With fourth **RUN** command, we download and give proper permissions to the script `install-docker.sh`. On a terminal, the common line to install Docker would be `curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh`. To understand really what's going here, we can simply go to the link provided at the line [https://get.docker.com](https://get.docker.com) for more information. + +The fifth **RUN** command runs the `install-docker.sh` script to properly install Docker within the image. + +Once those commands are run, we proceed to copy into our Docker image the necessary folders `scripts` and `zinit` as well as the Caddyfile. Once this is done, we give execution permissions to all scripts in the scripts folder using `chmod +x`. + +Finally, we set an entrypoint in our Dockerfile. As per the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/), an entrypoint "allows you to configure a container that will run as an executable". Since we are using zinit, we set the entrypoint `/sbin/zinit`. + +## README.md File + +The **README.md** file has the main goal of explaining clearly to the user the functioning of the Nextcloud directory and its associated flist. In this file, we can explain what our code is doing and offer steps to properly configure the whole deployment. + +We also give the necessary steps to create the Docker image and convert it into an flist starting directly with the Nextcloud directory. This can be useful for users that want to create their own flist, instead of using the [official ThreeFold Nextcloud flist](https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-apps/threefoldtech-nextcloudaio-latest.flist.md). + +To read the complete README.md file, go to [this link](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/blob/development/tfgrid3/nextcloud/README.md). + +## scripts Folder + +The **scripts** folder contains without surprise the scripts necessary to run the Nextcloud instance. + +In the Nextcloud Flist case, there are five scripts: + +* **caddy.sh** +* **nextcloud.sh** +* **nextcloud_conf.sh** +* **sshd_init.sh** +* **ufw_init.sh** + +Let's take a look at each of them. + +### caddy.sh + +File: `caddy.sh` + +```bash +#!/bin/bash +export DOMAIN=$NEXTCLOUD_DOMAIN + +if $IPV4 && ! $GATEWAY; then + export PORT=443 +else + export PORT=80 +fi + +if $IPV4; then + export BODY="\`\`" + +else + export BODY="\`\`" + + export REPLACEMENTS=' `name="talk"` `name="talk" disabled` + `needs ports 3478/TCP and 3478/UDP open/forwarded in your firewall/router` `running the Talk container requires a public IP and this VM does not have one. It is still possible to use Talk in a limited capacity. Please consult the documentation for details`' +fi + +caddy run --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile +``` + +The script **caddy.sh** sets the proper port depending on the network configuration (e.g. IPv4 or Gateway) in the first if/else section. In the second if/else section, the script also makes sure that the proper domain is given to Nextcloud All-in-One. This quickens the installation process as the user doesn't have to set the domain in Nextcloud AIO after deployment. We also disable a feature that's not relevant if the user didn't reserve an IPv4 address and we insert a note about that. + +### sshd_init.sh + +File: `sshd_init.sh` + +```bash +#!/bin/bash + +mkdir -p ~/.ssh +mkdir -p /var/run/sshd +chmod 600 ~/.ssh +chmod 600 /etc/ssh/* +echo $SSH_KEY >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +This file starts with a shebang (`#!`) that instructs the operating system to execute the following lines using the [Bash shell](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/). In essence, it lets us write `./sshd_init.sh` with the same outcome as `bash ./sshd_init.sh`, assuming the file is executable. + +The goal of this script is to add the public key within the VM in order for the user to get a secure and remote connection to the VM. The two lines starting with `mkdir` create the necessary folders. The lines starting with `chmod` give the owner the permission to write and read the content within the folders. Finally, the line `echo` will write the public SSH key in a file within the VM. In the case that the flist is used as a weblet, the SSH key is set in the Playground profile manager and passed as an environment variable when we deploy the solution. + +### ufw_init.sh + +File: `ufw_init.sh` + +```bash +#!/bin/bash + +ufw default deny incoming +ufw default allow outgoing +ufw allow ssh +ufw allow http +ufw allow https +ufw allow 8443 +ufw allow 3478 +ufw limit ssh +``` + +The goal of the `ufw_init.sh` script is to set the correct firewall parameters to make sure that our deployment is secure while also providing the necessary access for the Nextcloud users. + +The first two lines starting with `ufw default` are self-explanatory. We want to restrain incoming traffic while making sure that outgoing traffic has no restraints. + +The lines starting with `ufw allow` open the ports necessary for our Nextcloud instance. We note that **ssh** is port 22, **http** is port 80 and **https** is port 443. This means, for example, that the line `ufw allow 22` is equivalent to the line `ufw allow ssh`. + +Port 8443 can be used to access the AIO interface, as an alternative to using the `/aio` "subfolder" on deployments with a public IPv4 address. Finally, the port 3478 is used for Nextcloud Talk. + +The line `ufw limit ssh` will provide additional security by denying connection from IP addresses that attempt to initiate 6 or more connections within a 30-second period. + +### nextcloud.sh + +File: `nextcloud.sh` + +```bash +#!/bin/bash + +export COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=800 +while ! docker info > /dev/null 2>&1; do + echo docker not ready + sleep 2 +done + +docker run \ +--init \ +--sig-proxy=false \ +--name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer \ +--restart always \ +--publish 8000:8000 \ +--publish 8080:8080 \ +--env APACHE_PORT=11000 \ +--env APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0 \ +--env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=true \ +--volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config \ +--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \ +nextcloud/all-in-one:latest +``` + +The **nextcloud.sh** script is where the real action starts. This is where we run the Nextcloud All-in-One docker image. + +Before discussing the main part of this script, we note that the `while` loop is used to ensure that the `docker run` command starts only after the Docker daemon has properly started. + +The code section starting with `docker run` is taken from the [Nextcloud All-in-One repository on Github](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one) with some slight modifications. The last line indicates that the Docker image being pulled will always be the latest version of Nextcloud All-in-One. + +We note here that Nextcloud AIO is published on the port 8000 and 8080. We also note that we set restart to **always**. This is very important as it will make sure that the Nextcloud instance is restarted if the Docker daemon reboots. We take the opportunity to note that the way zinit configures micro VMs, the Docker daemon restarts automatically after a reboot. Thus, this latter fact combined with the line `--restart always` ensures that the user that the Nextcloud instance will restart after a VM reboot. + +We also set **11000** as the Apache port with an IP binding of **0.0.0.0**. For our deployment, we want to skip the domain validation, thus it is set to **true**. + +Considering the line `--sig-proxy=false`, when this command is run interactively, it prevents the user from accidentally killing the spawned AIO container. While it is not of great importance in our case, it means that zinit will not kill the container if the service is stopped. + +For more information on this, we invite the readers to consult the [Nextcloud documentation](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-use-this). + +### nextcloud_conf.sh + +File: `nextcloud_conf.sh` + +```bash +#!/bin/bash + +# Wait for the nextcloud container to become healthy.

In the first section, we use a function called **nc_ready ()**. This function will makes sure that the rest of the script only starts when the Nextcloud container is healthy. + +We note that the comments present in this script explain very well what is happening. In short, we want to set the Nextcloud instance according to the user's choice of network. For example, the user can decide to deploy using a ThreeFold gateway or a standard IPv4 connection. If the VM has a gateway and a public IPv4, then Nextcloud All-in-One will set the STUN/TURN servers to the gateway domain which does not point to the public IP, so we use the IP instead. + +## zinit Folder + +Next, we want to take a look at the zinit folder. + +But first, what is zinit? In a nutshell, zinit is a process manager (pid 1) that knows how to launch, monitor and sort dependencies. It thus executes targets in the proper order. For more information on zinit, check the [zinit repository](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zinit). + +When we start the Docker container, zinit will parse each unit file in the `/etc/zinit` folder and execute the contained command according to the specified parameters. + +In the Nextcloud Flist case, there are eight **.yaml** files: + +* **caddy.yaml** +* **dockerd.yaml** +* **nextcloud-conf.yaml** +* **nextcloud.yaml** +* **ssh-init.yaml** +* **sshd.yaml** +* **ufw-init.yaml** +* **ufw.yaml** + + +### ssh-init.yaml and sshd.yaml + +We start by taking a look at the **ssh-init.yaml** and **sshd.yaml** files. + +File: `ssh-init.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: /scripts/sshd_init.sh +oneshot: true +``` + +In this zinit service file, we define a service named `ssh-init.yaml`, where we tell zinit to execute the following command: `exec: /scripts/sshd_init.sh`. This unit file thus runs the script `sshd_init.sh` we covered in a previous section. + +We also note that `oneshot` is set to `true` and this means that it should only be executed once. This directive is often used for setup scripts that only need to run once. When it is not specified, the default value of `false` means that zinit will continue to start up a service if it ever dies. + +Now, we take a look at the file `sshd.yaml`: + +File: `sshd.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: bash -c "/usr/sbin/sshd -D" +after: + - ssh-init +``` + +We can see that this file executes a line from the Bash shell. It is important to note that, with zinit and .yaml files, you can easily order the executions of the files with the `after` directive. In this case, it means that the service `sshd` will only run after `ssh-init`. + +### ufw-init.yaml and ufw.yaml + +Let's take a look at the files **ufw-init.yaml** and **ufw.yaml**. + +File: `ufw-init.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: /scripts/ufw_init.sh +oneshot: true +``` + +The file `ufw-init.yaml` is very similar to the previous file `ssh-init.yaml`. + +File: `ufw.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: ufw --force enable +oneshot: true +after: + - ufw-init +``` + +We can see that the file `ufw.yaml` will only run once and only after the file `ufw-init.yaml` has been run. This is important since the file `ufw-init.yaml` executes the script `ufw_init.sh`. We recall this script allows different ports in the firewall. Once those ports are defined, we can then run the command `ufw --force enable`. This will start the ufw firewall. + +### caddy.yaml + +```yaml +exec: /scripts/caddy.sh +oneshot: true +``` + +This is also very similar to previous files and just runs the Caddy script as a oneshot. + +### dockerd.yaml + +We now take a look at the file **dockerd.yaml**. + +File: `dockerd.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: /usr/bin/dockerd --data-root /mnt/data/docker +``` + +This file will run the [dockerd daemon](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/) which is the persistent process that manages containers. We also note that it sets the data to be stored in the directory **/mnt/data/docker**, which is important because we will mount a virtual disk there that will provide better performance, especially for Docker's storage driver. + +### nextcloud.yaml + +File: `nextcloud.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: /scripts/nextcloud.sh +after: + - dockerd +``` + +The file `nextcloud.yaml` runs after dockerd. + +This file will execute the `nextcloud.sh` script we saw earlier. We recall that this script starts the Nextcloud All-in-One image. + +### nextcloud-conf.yaml + +File: `nextcloud-conf.yaml` + +```yaml +exec: /scripts/nextcloud_conf.sh +oneshot: true +after: + - nextcloud +``` + +Finally, the file `nextcloud-conf.yaml` runs after `nextcloud.yaml`. + +This file will execute the `nextcloud-conf.sh` script we saw earlier. We recall that this script starts the Nextcloud All-in-One image. At this point, the deployment is complete. + +## Putting it All Together + +We've now gone through all the files in the Nextcloud flist directory. You should now have a proper understanding of the interplay between the zinit (.yaml) and the scripts (.sh) files as well as the basic steps to build a Dockerfile and to write clear documentation. + +To build your own Nextcloud docker image, you would simply need to clone this directory to your local computer and to follow the steps presented in the next section [Docker Publishing Steps](#docker-publishing-steps). + +To have a look at the complete directory, you can always refer to the [Nextcloud flist directory](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/nextcloud) on the ThreeFold tf-images repository. + +# Docker Publishing Steps + +In this section, we show the necessary steps to publish the Docker image to the Docker Hub. + +To do so, we need to create an account and an access token. Then we will build the Docker image and push it to the Docker Hub. + +## Create Account and Access Token + +To be able to push Docker images to the Docker Hub, you obviously need to create a Docker Hub account! This is very easy and note that there are many great tutorials online about Docker. + +Here are the steps to create an account and an access token: + +* Go to the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) +* Click `Register` and follow the steps given by Docker +* On the top right corner, click on your account name and select `Account Settings` +* On the left menu, click on `Security` +* Click on `New Access Token` +* Choose an Access Token description that you will easily identify then click `Generate` + * Make sure to set the permissions `Read, Write, Delete` +* On your local computer, make sure that the Docker daemon is running +* Write the following in the command line to connect to the Docker hub: + * Run `docker login -u ` + * Set the password + +You now have access to the Docker Hub from your local computer.

The first file contains the environment variables and the second file contains the parameters to deploy our workloads. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The **main.tf** file contains the environment variables (e.g. **var.size** for the disk size) and thus you do not need to change this file. Of course, you can adjust the deployment based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the main.tf as is. + +For this example, we will be deployment with a ThreeFold gateway as well as a gateway domain. + +* Copy the following content and save the file under the name `credentials.auto.tfvars`: + +``` +mnemonics = "..." +network = "main" +SSH_KEY = "..." + +size = "50" +cpu = "2" +memory = "4096" + +gateway_id = "50" +vm1_id = "5453" + +deployment_name = "nextcloudgateway" +nextcloud_flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-apps/threefoldtech-nextcloudaio-latest.flist" +``` + +Make sure to add your own seed phrase and SSH public key. Simply replace the three dots by the content. Note that you can deploy on a different node than node 5453 for the **vm1** node.

After that you can use your flist directly on a container. + +## Merge Multiple Flists +In order to reduce the maintenance of your images, products, etc. flist allows you to keep your +different products and files separately and then merge them with another flist to make it usable without +keeping the system up-to-date. + +Example: there is an official `ubuntu 16.04` flist image, you can make a flist which contains your application files +and then merge your flist with ubuntu, so the resulting flist is your product on the last version of ubunbu. +You don't need to take care about the base system yourself, just merge it with the one provided. + +## Convert Docker Images and Tar Files + +The ZOS Hub allows you to convert Docker Hub images and Tar files into flists thanks to the Docker Hub Converter. + +You can convert a docker image (eg: `busybox`, `ubuntu`, `fedora`, `couchdb`, ...) to an flist directly from the backend, this allows you to use your existing docker image in our infrastructure out-of-the-box. Go to the [Docker Hub Converter](https://hub.grid.tf/docker-convert) to use this feature. For more information on the process, read the section [Convert Docker Image to flist](./convert_docker_image.md) of the TF Manual. + +You can also easily convert a Tar file into an flist via the [Upload section](https://hub.grid.tf/upload) of the ZOS Hub. + +## Upload Customize Flists + +The ZOS Hub also allows you to customize an flist via the [Customization section](https://hub.grid.tf/merge) of the ZOS Hub. Note that this is currently in beta. + +## Upload Homemade Flists + +The ZOS Hub allows you to upload flist that you've made yourself via the section [Upload a homemade flist](https://hub.grid.tf/upload-flist). + +## Upload your Existing Flist to Reduce Bandwidth +In addition with the hub-client (a side product) you can upload efficiently contents of file +to make the backend up-to-date and upload a self-made flist. This allows you to do all the jobs yourself +and gives you the full control of the chain. The only restriction is that the contents of the files you host +on the flist needs to exists on the backend, otherwise your flist will be rejected. + +## Authenticate via 3Bot +All the operations on the ZOS Hub needs to be done via a `3Bot` (default) authentication. Only downloading a flist can be done anonymously. To authenticate request via the API, you need to generate an API Token as shown in the section [ZOS Hub API Token](./api_token.md). + +## Get and Update Information Through the API +The hub host a basic REST API which can gives you some informations about flists, renaming them, remove them, etc. + +To use authenticated endpoints, you need to provide a itsyou.online valid `jwt` via `Authorization: bearer ` header. +This `jwt` can contains special `memberof` to allows you cross-repository actions. + +If your `jwt` contains memberof, you can choose which user you want to use by specifying cookie `active-user`. +See example below. + + +### Public API Endpoints (No Authentication Required) +- `/api/flist` (**GET**) + - Returns a json array with all repository/flists found +- `/api/repositories` (**GET**) + - Returns a json array with all repositories found +- `/api/fileslist` (**GET**) + - Returns a json array with all repositories and files found +- `/api/flist/` (**GET**) + - Returns a json array of each flist found inside specified repository. + - Each entry contains `filename`, `size`, `updated` date and `type` (regular or symlink), optionally `target` if it's a symbolic link. +- `/api/flist//` (**GET**) + - Returns json object with flist dumps (full file list) + +### Restricted API Endpoints (Authentication Required) +- `/api/flist/me` (**GET**) + - Returns json object with some basic information about yourself (authenticated user) +- `/api/flist/me/` (**GET**, **DELETE**) + - **GET**: same as `/api/flist//` + - **DELETE**: remove that specific flist +- `/api/flist/me//link/` (**GET**) + - Create a symbolic link `linkname` pointing to `source` +- `/api/flist/me//crosslink//` (**GET**) + - Create a cross-repository symbolic link `linkname` pointing to `repository/sourcename` +- `/api/flist/me//rename/` (**GET**) + - Rename `source` to `destination` +- `/api/flist/me/promote///` (**GET**) + - Copy cross-repository `sourcerepo/sourcefile` to your `[local-repository]/localname` file + - This is useful when you want to copy flist from one repository to another one, if your jwt allows it +- `/api/flist/me/upload` (**POST**) + - **POST**: uploads a `.tar.gz` archive and convert it to an flist + - Your file needs to be passed via `file` form attribute +- `/api/flist/me/upload-flist` (**POST**) + - **POST**: uploads a `.flist` file and store it + - Note: the flist is checked and full contents is verified to be found on the backend, if some chunks are missing, the file will be discarded. + - Your file needs to be passed via `file` form attribute +- `/api/flist/me/merge/` (**POST**) + - **POST**: merge multiple flist together + - You need to passes a json array of flists (in form `repository/file`) as POST body +- `/api/flist/me/docker` (**POST**) + - **POST**: converts a docker image to an flist + - You need to passes `image` form argument with docker-image name + - The resulting conversion will stay on your repository + +### API Request Templates and Examples + +The main template to request information from the API is the following: + +```bash +curl -H "Authorization: bearer " https://hub.grid.tf/api/flist/me/ -X +``` + +For example, if we take the command `DELETE` of the previous section and we want to delete the flist `example-latest.flist` with the API Token `abc12`, we would write the following line: + +```bash +curl -H "Authorization: bearer abc12" https://hub.grid.tf/api/flist/me/example-latest.flist -X DELETE +``` + +As another template example, if we wanted to rename the flist `current-name-latest.flist` to `new-name-latest.flist`, we would use the following template: + +```bash +curl -H "Authorization: bearer " https://hub.grid.tf/api/flist/me//rename/ -X GET +``` + +To upload an flist to the ZOS Hub, you would use the following template: + +```bash +curl -H "Authorization: bearer " -X POST -F file=@my-local-archive.tar.gz \ + https://hub.grid.tf/api/flist/me/upload +``` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/flist/grid3_supported_flists.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/flist/grid3_supported_flists.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..537d0b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/flist/grid3_supported_flists.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +

This is done both ways. +- To support federation (using 3rd party relays) we needed to add e2e encryption to make sure messages that are surfing the public internet can't be sniffed +- e2e encryption is done by deriving an encryption key from the same identity seed, and share the public key on `tfchain` hence it's available to everyone to use +*** +## Specifications + +For details about protocol itself please check the [specs](./rmb_specs.md). +*** +## How to Use RMB + +There are many ways to use `rmb` because it was built for `bots` and software to communicate.

Any 2 twins can communicate with full end-to-end encryption as follows: + +- A twin establish a WS connection to his relay of choice +- A twin create an `envelope` as defined by the protobuf [schema](https://github.com/threefoldtech/rmb-rs/blob/main/proto/types.proto) +- Twin fill in all envelope information (more about this later) +- Twin pushes the envelope to the relay + - If the destination twin is also using the same relay, message is directly forwarded to this twin + - If federation is needed (twin using different relay), message is forwarded to the proper twin. + +> NOTE: since a sender twin need to also encrypt the message for the receiver twin, a twin queries the `tf-chain` for the twin information. Usually it caches this data locally for reuse, hence clients need to make sure this data is always up-to-date. + +On the relay, the relay checks federation information set on the envelope and then decide to either to forward it internally to one of it's connected clients, or forward it to the destination relay. Hence relays need to be publicly available. + +When the relay receive a message that is destined to a `local` connected client, it queue it for delivery. The relay can maintain a queue of messages per twin to a limit. If the twin does not come back online to consume queued messages, the relay will start to drop messages for that specific twin client. + +Once a twin come online and connect to its peer, the peer will receive all queued messages. the messages are pushed over the web-socket as they are received. the client then can decide how to handle them (a message can be a request or a response). A message type can be inspected as defined by the schema. +*** +# Overview of the Operation of RMB Relay + +![relay](img/relay.png) + +## Connections + +By design, there can be only `ONE TWIN` with that specific ID. Hence only has `ONE RELAY` set on tfchain per twin. This force a twin to always use this defined relay if it wishes to open multiple connections to its relay. In other words, a twin once sets up a relay on its public information can only use that relay for all of its connections. If decided to change the relay address, all connections must use the new relay otherwise messages will get lost as they will be delivered to the wrong relay. + +In an RPC system, the response of a request must be delivered to the requester. Hence if a twin is maintaining multiple connections to its relay, it need to identify `uniquely` the connection to allow the relay to route back the responses to the right requester. We call this `id` a `session-id`. The `session-id` must be unique per twin. + +The relay can maintain **MULTIPLE** connections per peer given that each connection has a unique **SID** (session id). But for each (twin-id, session-id) combo there can be only one connection. if a new connection with the same (twin-id, session-id) is created, the older connection is dropped. + +The message received always has the session-id as part of the source address. a reply message then must have destination set back to the source as is, this allows the relay to route the message back correctly without the need to maintain an internal state. + +The `rmb-peer` process reserved the `None` sid. It connects with No session id, hence you can only run one `rmb-peer` per `twin` (identity). But the same twin (identity) can make other connection with other rmb clients (for example rmb-sdk-go direct client) to establish more connections with unique session ids. + +## Peer + +Any language or code that can open `WebSocket` connection to the relay can work as a peer. A peer need to do the following: + +- Authenticate with the relay. This is by providing a `JWT` that is signed by the twin key (more on that later) +- Handle received binary mesasge +- Send binary messages + +Each message is an object of type `Envelope` serialized as with protobuf. Type definition can be found under `proto/types.proto` + +## Peer implementation + +This project already have a peer implementation that works as local peer gateway.

The system tries to be as protective +as possible of it's critical services to make sure that the node is always reachable and usable even if it's under heavy load + +ZOS make sure it reserves Memory and Storage (but not CPU) as per the following: + +### Reserved Memory + +ZOS reserve 10% of the available system memory for basic services AND operation overhead. The operation overhead can happen as a side effect of running user workloads. For example, a user network while in theory does not consume any memory, in matter of fact it also consume some memory (kernel buffers, etc...). Same for a VM. A user VM can be assigned say 5G but the process that running the VM can/will take few extra megabytes to operate. + +This is why we decided to play on the safe side, and reserve 10% of total system memory to the system overhead, with a **MIN** reserved memory of 2GB + +```python +reserved = min(total_in_gb * 0.1, 2G) +``` + +### Reserved Storage + +While ZOS does not require installation, but it needs to download and store many things to operate correctly. This include the following: + +- Node identity. Information about the node id and keys +- The system binaries, those what include all zos to join the grid and operate as expected +- Workload flists. Those are the flists of the user workloads. Those are downloaded on demand so they don't always exist. +- State information. Tracking information maintained by ZOS to track the state of workloads, owner-ship, and more. + +This is why the system on first start allocates and reserve a part of the available SSD storage and is called `zos-cache`. Initially is `5G` (was 100G in older version) but because the `dynamic` nature of the cache we can't fix it at `5G` + +The required space to be reserved by the system can dramatically change based on the amount of workloads running on the system. For example if many users are running many different VMs, the system will need to download (and cache) different VM images, hence requiring more cache. + +This is why the system periodically checks the reserved storage and then dynamically expand or shrink to a more suitable value in increments of 5G. The expansion happens around the 20% of current cache size, and shrinking if went below 20%. + +## User Capacity + +All workloads requires some sort of a resource(s) to run and that is actually what the user hae to pay for. Any workload can consume resources in one of the following criteria: + +- CU (compute unit in vCPU) +- MU (memory unit in bytes) +- NU (network unit in bytes) +- SU (ssd storage in bytes) +- HU (hdd storage in bytes) + +A workloads, based on the type can consume one or more of those resource types. Some workloads will have a well known "size" on creation, others might be dynamic and won't be know until later. + +For example, a disk workload SU consumption will be know ahead. Unlike the NU used by a network which will only be known after usage over a certain period of time. + +A single deployment can has multiple workloads each requires a certain amount of one or more capacity types (listed above).

It's the backend supporting two kinds of workloads: `gateway-fqdn-proxy` and `gateway-name-proxy`. + +For the FQDN type, it receives the domain and a list of backends in the form `http://ip:port` or `https://ip:port` and registers a route for this domain forwarding traffic to these backends. It's a requirement that the domain resolves to the gateway public ip. The `tls_passthrough` parameter determines whether the tls termination happens on the gateway or in the backends. When it's true, the backends must be in the form `https://ip:port`, and the backends must be https-enabled servers. + +The name type is the same as the FQDN type except that the `name` parameter is added as a prefix to the gatweay domain to determine the fqdn. It's forbidden to use a FQDN type workload to reserve a domain managed by the gateway. + +The fqdn type is enabled only if there's a public config on the node. The name type works only if a domain exists in the public config. To make a full-fledged gateway node, these DNS records are required: +``` +gatwaydomain.com A ip.of.the.gateway +*.gatewaydomain.com CNAME gatewaydomain.com +__acme-challenge.gatewaydomain.com NS gatdwaydomain.com +``` + +### zinit unit + +```yaml +exec: gateway --broker unix:///var/run/redis.sock --root /var/cache/modules/gateway +after: + - boot +``` +## Implementation details + +Traefik is used as the reverse proxy forwarding traffic to upstream servers. All worklaods deployed on the node is associated with a domain that resolves to the node IP. In the name workload case, it's a subdomain of the gateway main domain. In the FQDN case, the user must create a DNS A record pointing it to the node IP. The node by default redirects all http traffic to https. + +When an https request reaches the node, it looks at the domain and determines the correct service that should handle the request. The services defintions are in `/var/cache/modules/gateway/proxy/` and is hot-reloaded by traefik every time a service is added/removed to/from it. Zos currently supports enabling `tls_passthrough` in which case the https request is passed as is to the backend (at the TCP level). The default is `tls_passthrough` is false which means the node terminates the TLS traffic and then forwards the request as http to the backend. +Example of a FQDN service definition with tls_passthrough enabled: +```yaml +tcp: + routers: + 37-2039-testname-route: + rule: HostSNI(`remote.omar.grid.tf`) + service: 37-2039-testname + tls: + passthrough: "true" + services: + 37-2039-testname: + loadbalancer: + servers: + - address: 137.184.106.152:443 +``` +Example of a "name" service definition with tls_passthrough disabled: +```yaml +http: + routers: + 37-1976-workloadname-route: + rule: Host(`workloadname.gent01.dev.grid.tf`) + service: 40-1976-workloadname + tls: + certResolver: dnsresolver + domains: + - sans: + - '*.gent01.dev.grid.tf' + services: + 40-1976-workloadname: + loadbalancer: + servers: + - url: http://[backendip]:9000 +``` + +The `certResolver` option has two valid values, `resolver` and `dnsresolver`. The `resolver` is an http resolver and is used in FQDN services with `tls_passthrough` disabled. It uses the http challenge to generate a single-domain certificate. The `dnsresolver` is used for name services with `tls_passthrough` disabled. The `dnsresolver` is responsible for generating a wildcard certificate to be used for all subdomains of the gateway domain. Its flow is described below. + +The CNAME record is used to make all subdomains (reserved or not) resolve to the ip of the gateway. Generating a wildcard certificate requires adding a TXT record at `__acme-challenge.gatewaydomain.com`. The NS record is used to delegate this specific subdomain to the node. So if someone did `dig TXT __acme-challenge.gatewaydomain.com`, the query is served by the node, not the DNS provider used for the gateway domain. + +Traefik has, as a config parameter, multiple dns [providers](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers) to communicate with when it wants to add the required TXT record. For non-supported providers, a bash script can be provided to do the record generation and clean up (i.e. External program). The bash [script](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zos/blob/main/pkg/gateway/static/cert.sh) starts dnsmasq managing a dns zone for the `__acme-challenge` subdomain with the given TXT record. It then kills the dnsmasq process and removes the config file during cleanup. +## Interface + +```go +type Backend string + +// GatewayFQDNProxy definition. this will proxy name. to backends +type GatewayFQDNProxy struct { + // FQDN the fully qualified domain name to use (cannot be present with Name) + FQDN string `json:"fqdn"` + + // Passthroug whether to pass tls traffic or not + TLSPassthrough bool `json:"tls_passthrough"` + + // Backends are list of backend ips + Backends []Backend `json:"backends"` +} + + +// GatewayNameProxy definition. this will proxy name. to backends +type GatewayNameProxy struct { + // Name the fully qualified domain name to use (cannot be present with Name) + Name string `json:"name"` + + // Passthroug whether to pass tls traffic or not + TLSPassthrough bool `json:"tls_passthrough"` + + // Backends are list of backend ips + Backends []Backend `json:"backends"` +} + +type Gateway interface { + SetNamedProxy(wlID string, prefix string, backends []string, TLSPassthrough bool) (string, error) + SetFQDNProxy(wlID string, fqdn string, backends []string, TLSPassthrough bool) error + DeleteNamedProxy(wlID string) error + Metrics() (GatewayMetrics, error) +} +``` diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/history/readme.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/history/readme.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e4c023a --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/history/readme.md @@ -0,0 +1,99 @@ +# 0-OS, a bit of history and introduction to Version 2 + +## Once upon a time +---- +A few years ago, we were trying to come up with some solutions to the problem of self-healing IT. +We boldly started that : the current model of cloud computing in huge data-centers is not going to be able to scale to fit the demand in IT capacity. + +The approach we took to solve this problem was to enable localized compute and storage units at the edge of the network, close to where it is needed. +That basically meant that if we were to deploy physical hardware to the edges, nearby the users, we would have to allow information providers to deploy their solutions on that edge network and hardware. That means also sharing hardware resources between users, where we would have to make damn sure noone can peek around in things that are not his. + +When we talk about sharing capacity in a secure environment, virtualization comes to mind. It's not a new technology and it has been around for quite some time. This solution comes with a cost though. Virtual machines, emulating a full hardware platform on real hardware is costly in terms of used resources, and eat away at the already scarce resources we want to provide for our users. + +Containerizing technologies were starting to get some hype at the time. Containers provide for basically the same level of isolation as Full Virtualisation, but are a lot less expensive in terms of resource utilization. + +With that in mind, we started designing the first version of 0-OS. The required features were: + +- be able to be fully in control of the hardware +- give the possibility to different users to share the same hardware +- deploy this capacity at the edge, close to where it is needed +- the System needs to self-heal. Because of their location and sheer scale, manual maintenance was not an option. Self-healing is a broad topic, and will require a lot of experience and fine-tuning, but it was meant to culminate at some point so that most of the actions that sysadmins execute, would be automated. +- Have an a small as possible attack surface, as well for remote types of attack, as well as protecting users from each-other + +The result of that thought process resulted in 0-OS v1. A linux kernel with the minimal components on top that allows to provide for these features. + +In the first incantation of 0-OS, the core framework was a single big binary that got started as the first process of the system (PID 1). All the managment features were exposed through an API that was only accessible locally. + +The idea was to have an orchestration system running on top that was going to be responsible to deploy Virtual Machines and Containers on the system using that API. + +This API exposes 3 main primitives: + +- networking: zerotier, vlan, macvlan, bridge, openvswitch... +- storage: plain disk, 0-db, ... +- compute: VM, containers + +That was all great and it allowed us to learn a lot. But some limitations started to appear. Here is a non exhaustive list of the limitations we had to face after a couple of years of utilization: + +- Difficulty to push new versions and fixes on the nodes. The fact that 0-OS was a single process running as PID 1, forced us to completely reboot the node every time we wanted to push an update. +- The API, while powerful, still required to have some logic on top to actually deploy usable solutions. +- We noticed that some features we implemented were never or extremely rarely used. This was just increasing the possible attack surface for no real benefits. +- The main networking solution we choose at the time, zerotier, was not scaling as well as we hoped for. +- We wrote a lot of code ourselves, instead of relying on already existing open source libraries that would have made that task a lot easier, but also, these libraries were a lot more mature and have had a lot more exposure for ironing out possible bugs and vulnerabilities than we could have created and tested ourselves with the little resources we have at hand. + +## Now what ? +With the knowledge and lessons gathered during these first years of usage, we +concluded that trying to fix the already existing codebase would be cumbersome +and we also wanted to avoid any technical debt that could haunt us for years +after. So we decided for a complete rewrite of that stack, taking a new and +fully modular approach, where every component could be easily replaced and +upgraded without the need for a reboot. + +Hence Version 2 saw the light of day. + +Instead of trial and error, and muddling along trying to fit new features in +that big monolithic codebase, we wanted to be sure that the components were +reduced to a more manageable size, having a clearly cut Domain Separation. + +Instead of creating solutions waiting for a problem, we started looking at things the other way around. Which is logical, as by now, we learned what the real puzzles to solve were, albeit sometimes by painful experience. + +## Tadaa! +---- +The [first commit](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zosv2/commit/7b783c888673d1e9bc400e4abbb17272e995f5a4) of the v2 repository took place the 11 of February 2019. +We are now 6 months in, and about to bake the first release of 0-OS v2. +Clocking in at almost 27KLoc, it was a very busy half-year. (admitted, there are the spec and docs too in that count ;-) ) + +Let's go over the main design decisions that were made and explain briefly each component. + +While this is just an introduction, we'll add more articles digging deeper in the technicalities and approaches of each component. + +## Solutions to puzzles (there are no problems) +---- +**UPDATES** + +One of the first puzzles we wanted to solve was the difficulty to push upgrades. +In order to solve that, we designed 0-OS components as completely stand-alone modules. Each subsystem, be it storage, networking, containers/VMs, is managed by it's own component (mostly a daemon), and communicate with each-other through a local bus. And as we said, each component can then be upgraded separately, together with the necessary data migrations that could be required. + +**WHAT API?** + +The second big change is our approach to the API, or better, lack thereof. +In V2 we dropped the idea to expose the primitives of the Node over an API. +Instead, all the required knowledge to deploy workloads is directly embedded in 0-OS. +So in order to have the node deploy a workload, we have created a blueprint like system where the user describes what his requirements in terms of compute power, storage and networking are, and the node applies that blueprint to make it reality. +That approach has a few advantages: + - It greatly reduces the attack surface of the node because there is no more direct interaction between a user and a node. + - And it also allows us to have a greater control over how things are organized in the node itself. The node being its own boss, can decide to re-organize itself whenever needed to optimize the capacity it can provide. + - Having a blueprint with requirements, gives the grid the possibility to verify that blueprint on multiple levels before applying it. That is: as well on top level as on node level a blueprint can be verified for validity and signatures before any other action will be executed. + +**PING** + +The last major change is how we want to handle networking. +The solution used during the lifetime of V1 exposed its limitations when we started scaling our networks to hundreds of nodes. +So here again we started from scratch and created our own overlay network solution. +That solution is based on the 'new kid on the block' in terms of VPN: [Wireguard](https://wireguard.io) and it's approach and usage will be fully explained in the next 0-OS article. +For the eager ones of you, there are some specifications and also some documentation [here](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zosv2/tree/master/docs/network) and [there](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zosv2/tree/master/specs/network). + +## That's All, Folks (for now) +So this little article as an intro to the brave new world of 0-OS. +The Zero-OS team engages itself to regularly keep you updated on it's progress, the new features that will surely be added, and for the so inclined, add a lot more content for techies on how to actually use that novel beast. + +[Till next time](https://youtu.be/b9434BoGkNQ) diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/identity/identity.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/identity/identity.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9ed7400 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/identity/identity.md @@ -0,0 +1,143 @@ +

This includes the boot process, architecture, the internal modules (and their responsibilities), and the inter-process communication. + +## Booting + +ZOS is a linux based operating system in the sense that we use the main-stream linux kernel with no modifications (but heavily customized). The base image of ZOS includes linux, busybox, [zinit](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zinit) and other required tools that are needed during the boot process. The base image is also shipped with a bootstrap utility that is self-updating on boot which kick starts everything. + +For more details about the ZOS base image please check [0-initramfs](https://github.com/threefoldtech/0-initramfs). + +`ZOS` uses zinit as its `init` or `PID 1` process. `zinit` acts as a process manager and it takes care of starting all required services in the right order. Using simple configuration that is available under `/etc/zinit`. + +The base `ZOS` image has a zinit config to start the basic services that are required for booting. These include (mainly) but are not limited to: + +- internet: A very basic service that tries to connect zos to the internet as fast (and as simple) as possible (over ethernet) using dhcp. This is needed so the system can continue the boot process. Once this one succeeds, it exits and leaves node network management to the more sophisticated ZOS module `networkd` which is yet to be downloaded and started by bootstrap. +- redis: This is required by all zos modules for its IPC (inter process communication). +- bootstrap: The bootstrap process which takes care of downloading all required zos binaries and modules. This one requires the `internet` service to actually succeed. + +## Bootstrap + +`bootstrap` is a utility that resides on the base image. It takes care of downloading and configuring all zos main services by doing the following: + +- It checks if there is a more recent version of itself available. If it exists, the process first updates itself before proceeding. +- It checks zos boot parameters (for example, which network you are booting into) as set by . +- Once the network is known, let's call it `${network}`. This can either be `production`, `testing`, or `development`. The proper release is downloaded as follows: + - All flists are downloaded from one of the [hub](https://hub.grid.tf/) `tf-zos-v3-bins.dev`, `tf-zos-v3-bins.test`, or `tf-zos-v3-bins` repos. Based on the network, only one of those repos is used to download all the support tools and binaries. Those are not included in the base image because they can be updated, added, or removed. + - The flist `https://hub.grid.tf/tf-zos/zos:${network}-3:latest.flist.md` is downloaded (note that ${network} is replaced with the actual value). This flist includes all zos services from this repository. More information about the zos modules are explained later. + - Once all binaries are downloaded, `bootstrap` finishes by asking zinit to start monitoring the newly installed services. The bootstrap exits and will never be started again as long as zos is running. + - If zos is restarted the entire bootstrap process happens again including downloading the binaries because ZOS is completely stateless (except for some cached runtime data that is preserved across reboots on a cache disk). + +## Zinit + +As mentioned earlier, `zinit` is the process manager of zos. Bootstrap makes sure it registers all zos services for zinit to monitor. This means that zinit will take care that those services are always running, and restart them if they have crashed for any reason. + +## Architecture + +For `ZOS` to be able to run workloads of different types it has split its functionality into smaller modules. Where each module is responsible for providing a single functionality. For example `storaged` which manages machine storages, hence it can provide low level storage capacity to other services that need it. + +As an example, imagine that you want to start a `virtual machine`. For a `virtual machine` to be able to run it will require a `rootfs` image or the image of the VM itself this is normally provided via an `flist` (managed by `flistd`), then you would need an actual persistent storage (managed by `storaged`), a virtual nic (managed by `networkd`), another service that can put everything together in a form of a VM (`vmd`). Then finally a service that orchestrates all of this and translates the user request to an actual workload `provisiond`, you get the picture. + +### IPC + +All modules running in zos needs to be able to interact with each other. As it shows from the previous example. For example, `provision` daemon need to be able to ask `storage` daemon to prepare a virtual disk. A new `inter-process communication` protocol and library was developed to enable this with those extra features: + +- Modules do not need to know where other modules live, there are no ports, and/or urls that have to be known by all services. +- A single module can run multiple versions of an API. +- Ease of development. +- Auto generated clients. + +For more details about the message bus please check [zbus](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zbus) + +`zbus` uses redis as a message bus, hence redis is started in the early stages of zos booting. + +`zbus` allows auto generation of `stubs` which are generated clients against a certain module interface. Hence a module X can interact with a module Y by importing the generated clients and then start making function calls. + +## ZOS Processes (modules) + +Modules of zos are completely internal. There is no way for an external user to talk to them directly. The idea is the node exposes a public API over rmb, while internally this API can talk to internal modules over `zbus`. + +Here is a list of the major ZOS modules. + +- [Identity](identity/index.md) +- [Node](node/index.md) +- [Storage](storage/index.md) +- [Network](network/index.md) +- [Flist](flist/index.md) +- [Container](container/index.md) +- [VM](vmd/index.md) +- [Provision](provision/index.md) + +## Capacity + +In [this document](./capacity.md), you can find detail description of how ZOS does capacity planning. diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/macdev/readme.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/macdev/readme.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1a9d4b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/macdev/readme.md @@ -0,0 +1,57 @@ +> Note: This is unmaintained, try on your own responsibility + +# MacOS Developer + +0-OS (v2) uses a Linux kernel and is really build with a linux environment in mind. +As a developer working from a MacOS environment you will have troubles running the 0-OS code. + +Using [Docker][docker] you can work from a Linux development environment, hosted from your MacOS Host machine. +In this README we'll do exactly that using the standard Ubuntu [Docker][docker] container as our base. + +## Setup + +0.

Testing for IPv6 availability in your location +As descibed above the network in which the node is instaleld has to be IPv6 enabled. This is not an afterthought as we are building a new internet it has to ba based on the new and forward looking IP addressing scheme. This is something you have to investigate, negotiate with you connectivity provider. Many (but not all home connectivity products and certainly most datacenters can provide you with IPv6. There are many sources of infromation on how to test and check whether your connection is IPv6 enabled, [here is a starting point](http://www.ipv6enabled.org/ipv6_enabled/ipv6_enable.php) + +### Step 2. Choosing you setup for connecitng you nodes. + +Once you have established that you have IPv6 enabled on the network you are about to deploy, you have to make sure that there is an IPv6 DHCP facility available. Zero-OS does not work with static IPv6 addresses (at this point in time). So you have choose and create one of the following setups: + +#### 2.1 Home setup + +Use your (home) ISP router Ipv6 DHCP capabilities to provide (private) IPv6 addresses. The principle will work the same as for IPv4 home connections, everything happens enabled by Network Adress Translation (just like anything else that uses internet connectivity). This should be relatively straightforward if you have established that your conenction has IPv6 enabled. + +#### 2.2 Datacenter / Expert setup + +In this situation there are many options on how to setup you node. This requires you as the expert to make a few decisions on how to connect what what the best setup is that you can support for the operaitonal time of your farm. The same basics principles apply: + - You have to have a block of (public) IPv6 routed to you router, or you have to have your router setup to provide Network Address Translation (NAT) + - You have to have a DHCP server in your network that manages and controls IPV6 ip adress leases. Depending on your specific setup you have this DHCP server manage a public IPv6y range which makes all nodes directly connected to the public internet or you have this DHCP server manage a private block og IPv6 addresses which makes all you nodes connect to the internet through NAT. + +As a farmer you are in charge of selecting and creating the appropriate network setup for your farm. + +## General notes + +The above setup will allows your node(s) to appear in explorer on the TF Grid and will allowd you to earn farming tokens.

That means: it tries to get Internet connectivity. Without it, ZOS stops there, as not being able to register itself, nor start other processes, there wouldn't be any use for it to be started anyway. + +Once it has obtained Internet connectivity, ZOS can then proceed to make itself known to the Grid, and acknowledge it's existence. It will then regularly poll the Grid for tasks. + +Once initialized, with the network daemon running (a process that will handle all things related to networking), ZOS will set up some basic services so that workloads can themselves use that network. + +## Networkd functionality + +The network daemon is in itself responsible for a few tasks, and working together with the [provision daemon](../provision) it mainly sets up the local infrastructure to get the user network resources, together with the wireguard configurations for the user's mesh network. + +The Wireguard mesh is an overlay network. That means that traffic of that network is encrypted and encapsulated in a new traffic frame that the gets transferred over the underlay network, here in essence the network that has been set up during boot of the node. + +For users or workloads that run on top of the mesh, the mesh network looks and behaves like any other directly connected workload, and as such that workload can reach other workloads or services in that mesh with the added advantage that that traffic is encrypted, protecting services and communications over that mesh from too curious eyes. + +That also means that workloads between nodes in a local network of a farmer is even protected from the farmer himself, in essence protecting the user from the farmer in case that farmer could become too curious. + +As the nodes do not have any way to be accessed, be it over the underlaying network or even the local console of the node, a user can be sure that his workload cannot be snooped upon. + +## Techie talk + +- **boot and initial setup** +For ZOS to work at all (the network is the computer), it needs an internet connection. That is: it needs to be able to communicate with the BCDB over the internet. +So ZOS starts with that: with the `internet` process, that tries go get the node to receive an IP address. That process will have set-up a bridge (`zos`), connected to an interface that is on an Internet-capable network. That bridge will have an IP address that has Internet access. +Also, that bridge is there for future public interfaces into workloads. +Once ZOS can reach the Internet, the rest of the system can be started, where ultimately, the `networkd` daemon is started. + +- **networkd initial setup** +`networkd` starts with recensing the available Network interfaces, and registers them to the BCDB (grid database), so that farmers can specify non-standard configs like for multi-nic machines. Once that is done, `networkd` registers itself to the zbus, so it can receive tasks to execute from the provsioning daemon (`provisiond`). +These tasks are mostly setting up network resources for users, where a network resource is a subnet in the user's wireguard mesh. + +- **multi-nic setups** + +When someone is a farmer, exploiting nodes somewhere in a datacentre, where the nodes have multiple NICs, it is advisable (though not necessary) to differentiate OOB traffic (like initial boot setup) from user traffic (as well the overlay network as the outgoing NAT for nodes for IPv4) to be on a different NIC. With these parameters, a user will have to make sure their switches are properly configured, more in docs later. + +- **registering and configurations** + +Once a node has booted and properly initialized, registering and configuring the node to be able to accept workloads and their associated network configs, is a two-step process. +First, the node registers it's live network setup to the BCDB. That is : all NICs with their associated IP addresses and routes are registered so a farm admin can in a second phase configure eventual separate NICs to handle different kinds of workloads. +In that secondary phase, a farm admin can then set-up the NICs and their associated IP's manually, so that workloads can start using them. + +## Wireguard explanations + +- **wireguard as pointopoint links and what that means** +Wireguard is a special type of VPN, where every instance is as well server for multiple peers as client towards multiple peers. That way you can create fanning-out connections als receive connections from multiple peers, creating effectively a mesh of connections Like this : ![like so](HIDDEN-PUBLIC.png) + +- **wireguard port management** +Every wireguard point (a network resource point) needs a destination/port combo when it's publicly reachable. The destination is a public ip, but the port is the differentiator. So we need to make sure every network wireguard listening port is unique in the node where it runs, and can be reapplied in case of a node's reboot. +ZOS registers the ports **already in use** to the BCDB, so a user can the pick a port that is not yet used. + +- **wireguard and hidden nodes** +Hidden nodes are nodes that are in essence hidden behind a firewall, and unreachable from the Internet to an internal network, be it as an IPv4 NATed host or an IPv6 host that is firewalled in any way, where it's impossible to have connection initiations form the Internet to the node. +As such, these nodes can only partake in a network as client-only towards publicly reachable peers, and can only initiate the connections themselves. (ref previous drawing). +To make sure connectivity stays up, the clients (all) have a keepalive towards all their peers so that communications towards network resources in hidden nodes can be established. + +## Caveats + +- **hidden nodes** +Hidden nodes live (mostly) behind firewalls that keep state about connections and these states have a lifetime. We try at best to keep these communications going, but depending of the firewall your mileage may vary (YMMV ;-)) + +- **local underlay network reachability** +When multiple nodes live in a same hidden network, at the moment we don't try to have the nodes establish connectivity between themselves, so all nodes in that hidden network can only reach each other through the intermediary of a node that is publicly reachable. So to get some performance, a farmer will have to have real routable nodes available in the vicinity. +So for now, a farmer is better off to have his nodes really reachable over a public network. + +- **IPv6 and IPv4 considerations** +While the mesh can work over IPv4 __and__ IPv6 at the same time, the peers can only be reached through one protocol at the same time. That is a peer is IPv4 __or__ IPv6, not both. Hence if a peer is reachable over IPv4, the client towards that peer needs to reach it over IPv4 too and thus needs an IPv4 address. +We advise strongly to have all nodes properly set-up on a routable unfirewalled IPv6 network, so that these problems have no reason to exist. diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/network/mesh.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/network/mesh.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fd9bb85 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/network/mesh.md @@ -0,0 +1,134 @@ +

Sometimes these services can live on one node, but mostly these service will be deployed over multiple nodes, in different containers. +The Mesh is created for that, where containers can communicate over an encrypted path, and that network can be specified in terms of IP addresses by the user. + +## Overlay Network + +Zero-Mesh is an overlay network. That requires that nodes need a proper working network with existing access to the Internet in the first place, being full-blown public access, or behind a firewall/home router that provides for Private IP NAT to the internet. + +Right now Zero-Mesh has support for both, where nodes behind a firewall are HIDDEN nodes, and nodes that are directly connected, be it over IPv6 or IPv4 as 'normal' nodes. +Hidden nodes can thus only be participating as client nodes for a specific user Mesh, and all publicly reachable nodes can act as aggregators for hidden clients in that user Mesh. + +Also, a Mesh is static: once it is configured, and thus during the lifetime of the network, there is one node containing the aggregator for Mesh clients that live on hidden nodes. So if then an aggregator node has died or is not reachable any more, the mesh needs to be reapplied, with __some__ publicly reachable node as aggregator node. + +So it goes a bit like ![this](HIDDEN-PUBLIC.png) +The Exit labeled NR in that graph is the point where Network Resources in Hidden Nodes connect to. These Exit NRs are then the transfer nodes between Hidden NRs. + +## ZOS networkd + +The networkd daemon receives tasks from the provisioning daemon, so that it can create the necessary resources for a Mesh participator in the User Network (A network Resource - NR). + +A network is defined as a whole by the User, using the tools in the 3bot to generate a proper configuration that can be used by the network daemon. + +What networkd takes care of, is the establishment of the mesh itself, in accordance with the configuration a farmer has given to his nodes. What is configured on top of the Mesh is user defined, and applied as such by the networkd. + +## Internet reachability per Network Resource + +Every node that participates in a User mesh, will also provide for Internet access for every network resource. +that means that every NR has the same Internet access as the node itself. Which also means, in terms of security, that a firewall in the node takes care of blocking all types of entry to the NR, effectively being an Internet access diode, for outgoing and related traffic only. +In a later phase a user will be able to define some network resource as __sole__ outgoing Internet Access point, but for now that is not yet defined. + +## Interworkings + +So How is that set up ? + +Every node participating in a User Network, sets up a Network Resource. +Basically, it's a Linux Network Namespace (sort of a network virtual machine), that contains a wireguard interface that has a list of other Network resources it needs to route encrypted packets toward. + +As a User Network has a range typically a `/16` (like `10.1.0.0/16`), that is user defined. The User then picks a subnet from that range (like e.g. `10.1.1.0/24`) to assign that to every new NR he wants to participate in that Network. + +Workloads that are then provisioned are started in a newly created Container, and that container gets a User assigned IP __in__ that subnet of the Network Resource. + +The Network resource itself then handles the routing and firewalling for the containers that are connected to it. Also, the Network Resource takes care of internet connectivity, so that the container can reach out to other services on the Internet. + +![like this](NR_layout.png) + +Also in a later phase, a User will be able to add IPv6 prefixes to his Network Resources, so that containers are reachable over IPv6. + +Fully-routed IPv6 will then be available, where an Exit NR will be the entrypoint towards that network. + +## Network Resource Internals + +Each NR is basically a router for the User Network, but to allow NRs to access the Internet through the Node's local connection, there are some other internal routers to be added. + +Internally it looks like this : + +```text ++------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| |wg mesh | +| +-------------+ +-----+-------+ | +| | | | NR cust1 | 100.64.0.123/16 | +| | container +----------+ 10.3.1.0/24 +----------------------+ | +| | cust1 | veth| | public | | +| +-------------+ +-------------+ | | +| | | +| +-------------+ +-------------+ | | +| | | | NR cust200 | 100.64.4.200/16 | | +| | container +----------+ 10.3.1.0/24 +----------------------+ | +| | cust200 | veth| | public | | +| +-------------+ +------+------+ | | +| |wg mesh | | +| 10.101.123.34/16 | | +| +------------+ |tonrs | +| | | +------------------+ | +| | zos +------+ | 100.64.0.1/16 | | +| | | | 10.101.12.231/16| ndmz | | +| +---+--------+ NIC +-----------------------------+ | | +| | | public +------------------+ | +| +--------+------+ | +| | | +| | | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + | + | + | + | 10.101.0.0/16 10.101.0.1 + +------------------+------------------------------------------------------------ + + NAT + -------- + rules NR custA + nft add rule inet nat postrouting oifname public masquerade + nft add rule inet filter input iifname public ct state { established, related } accept + nft add rule inet filter input iifname public drop + + rules NR custB + nft add rule inet nat postrouting oifname public masquerade + nft add rule inet filter input iifname public ct state { established, related } accept + nft add rule inet filter input iifname public drop + + rules ndmz + nft add rule inet nat postrouting oifname public masquerade + nft add rule inet filter input iifname public ct state { established, related } accept + nft add rule inet filter input iifname public drop + + + Routing + + if NR only needs to get out: + ip route add default via 100.64.0.1 dev public + + if an NR wants to use another NR as exitpoint + ip route add default via destnr + with for AllowedIPs 0.0.0.0/0 on that wg peer + +``` + +During startup of the Node, the ndmz is put in place, following the configuration if it has a single internet connection , or that with a dual-nic setup, a separate nic is used for internet access. + +The ndmz network has the carrier-grade nat allocation assigned, so we don'tinterfere with RFC1918 private IPv4 address space, so users can use any of them (and not any of `100.64.0.0/10`, of course) diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/network/readme.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/network/readme.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3958cf6 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/internals/zos/internals/network/readme.md @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +

A Node can only continue it's boot process till the end when it effectively has received an IP address and a route to the Internet. Without that, the Node will retry indefinitely to obtain Internet access and not finish it's startup. + +So a Node needs to be connected to a __wired__ network, providing a dhcp server and a default gateway to the Internet, be it NATed or plainly on the public network, where any route to the Internet, be it IPv4 or IPv6 or both is sufficient. + +For a node to have that ability to host user networks, we **strongly** advise to have a working IPv6 setup, as that is the primary IP stack we're using for the User Network's Mesh to function. + +## Running ZOS (v2) at home + +Running a ZOS Node at home is plain simple. Connect it to your router, plug it in the network, insert the preconfigured USB stick containing the bootloader and the `farmer_id`, power it on. +You will then see it appear in the Cockpit (`https://cockpit.testnet.grid.tf/capacity`), under your farm. + +## Running ZOS (v2) in a multi-node farm in a DC + +Multi-Node Farms, where a farmer wants to host the nodes in a data centre, have basically the same simplicity, but the nodes can boot from a boot server that provides for DHCP, and also delivers the iPXE image to load, without the need for a USB stick in every Node. + +A boot server is not really necessary, but it helps ;-). That server has a list of the MAC addresses of the nodes, and delivers the bootloader over PXE. The farmer is responsible to set-up the network, and configure the boot server. + +### Necessities + +The Farmer needs to: + +- Obtain an IPv6 prefix allocation from the provider. A `/64` will do, that is publicly reachable, but a `/48` is advisable if the farmer wants to provide IPv6 transit for User Networks +- If IPv6 is not an option, obtain an IPv4 subnet from the provider. At least one IPv4 address per node is needed, where all IP addresses are publicly reachable. +- Have the Nodes connected on that public network with a switch so that all Nodes are publicly reachable. +- In case of multiple NICS, also make sure his farm is properly registered in BCDB, so that the Node's public IP Addresses are registered. +- Properly list the MAC addresses of the Nodes, and configure the DHCP server to provide for an IP address, and in case of multiple NICs also provide for private IP addresses over DHCP per Node. +- Make sure that after first boot, the Nodes are reachable. + +### IPv6 + +IPv6, although already a real protocol since '98, has seen reluctant adoption over the time it exists. That mostly because ISPs and Carriers were reluctant to deploy it, and not seeing the need since the advent of NAT and private IP space, giving the false impression of security. +But this month (10/2019), RIPE sent a mail to all it's LIRs that the last consecutive /22 in IPv4 has been allocated. Needless to say, but that makes the transition to IPv6 in 2019 of utmost importance and necessity. +Hence, ZOS starts with IPv6, and IPv4 is merely an afterthought ;-) +So in a nutshell: we greatly encourage Farmers to have IPv6 on the Node's network. + +### Routing/firewalling + +Basically, the Nodes are self-protecting, in the sense that they provide no means at all to be accessed through listening processes at all. No service is active on the node itself, and User Networks function solely on an overlay. +That also means that there is no need for a Farm admin to protect the Nodes from exterior access, albeit some DDoS protection might be a good idea. +In the first phase we will still allow the Host OS (ZOS) to reply on ICMP ping requests, but that 'feature' might as well be blocked in the future, as once a Node is able to register itself, there is no real need to ever want to try to reach it. + +### Multi-NIC Nodes + +Nodes that Farmers deploy are typically multi-NIC Nodes, where one (typically a 1GBit NIC) can be used for getting a proper DHCP server running from where the Nodes can boot, and one other NIC (1Gbit or even 10GBit), that then is used for transfers of User Data, so that there is a clean separation, and possible injections bogus data is not possible. + +That means that there would be two networks, either by different physical switches, or by port-based VLANs in the switch (if there is only one). + +- Management NICs + The Management NIC will be used by ZOS to boot, and register itself to the GRID. Also, all communications from the Node to the Grid happens from there. +- Public NICs + +### Farmers and the grid + +A Node, being part of the Grid, has no concept of 'Farmer'. The only relationship for a Node with a Farmer is the fact that that is registered 'somewhere (TM)', and that a such workloads on a Node will be remunerated with Tokens. For the rest, a Node is a wholly stand-alone thing that participates in the Grid. + +```text + 172.16.1.0/24 + 2a02:1807:1100:10::/64 ++--------------------------------------+ +| +--------------+ | +-----------------------+ +| |Node ZOS | +-------+ | | +| | +-------------+1GBit +--------------------+ 1GBit switch | +| | | br-zos +-------+ | | +| | | | | | +| | | | | | +| | | | +------------------+----+ +| +--------------+ | | +-----------+ +| | OOB Network | | | +| | +----------+ ROUTER | +| | | | +| | | | +| | | | +| +------------+ | +----------+ | +| | Public | | | | | +| | container | | | +-----+-----+ +| | | | | | +| | | | | | +| +---+--------+ | +-------------------+--------+ | +| | | | 10GBit Switch | | +| br-pub| +-------+ | | | +| +-----+10GBit +-------------------+ | +----------> +| +-------+ | | Internet +| | | | +| | +----------------------------+ ++--------------------------------------+ + 185.69.167.128/26 Public network + 2a02:1807:1100:0::/64 + +``` + +Where the underlay part of the wireguard interfaces get instantiated in the Public container (namespace), and once created these wireguard interfaces get sent into the User Network (Network Resource), where a user can then configure the interface a he sees fit. + +The router of the farmer fulfills 2 roles: + +- NAT everything in the OOB network to the outside, so that nodes can start and register themselves, as well get tasks to execute from the BCDB. +- Route the assigned IPv4 subnet and IPv6 public prefix on the public segment, to which the public container is connected. + +As such, in case that the farmer wants to provide IPv4 public access for grid proxies, the node will need at least one (1) IPv4 address.

Since after the initial `minimal` configuration which only include which `farm` to join and what `network` (`development`, `testing`, or `production`) the owner of the node does not has to do anything more, and the node work fully autonomous. + +The farmer himself cannot control the node, or access it by any mean. The only way you can interact with a node is via it's public API. + +## Farm? Network? What are these? + +Well, `zos` is built to allow people to run `workloads` around the world this simply is enabled by allowing 3rd party data-centers to run `ZOS` on their hardware. Then a user can then find any nearby `farm` (is what we call a cluster of nodes that belong to the same `farmer`) and then they can choose to deploy capacity on that node/farm. A `farm` can consist of one or more nodes. + +So what is `network`.Well, to allow developers to build and `zos` itself and make it available during the early stages of development for testers and other enthusiastic people to try it out. To allow this we created 3 `networks` +- `development`: This is used mainly by developers to test their work. This is still available for users to deploy their capacity on (for really really cheap prices), but at the same time there is no grantee that it's stable or that data loss or corruption will happen. Also the entire network can be reset with no heads up. +- `testing`: Once new features are developed and well tested on `development` network they are released to `testing` environment. This also available for users to use with a slightly higher price than `development` network. But it's much more stable. In theory this network is stable, there should be no resets of the network, issues on this network usually are not fatal, but partial data loss can still occurs. +- `production`: Well, as the name indicates this is the most stable network (also full price) once new features are fully tested on `testing` network they are released on `production`. + +## Creating a farm + +While this is outside the scope of this document here you are a [link](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__create_farm) + +## Interaction + +`ZOS` provide a simple `API` that can be used to: +- Query node runtime information + - Network information + - Free `wireguard` ports + - Get public configuration + - System version + - Other (check client for details) +- Deployment management (more on that later) + - Create + - Update + - Delete + +Note that `zos` API is available over `rmb` protocol. `rmb` which means `reliable message bus` is a simple messaging protocol that enables peer to peer communication over `yggdrasil` network. Please check [`rmb`](https://github.com/threefoldtech/rmb) for more information. + +Simply put, `RMB` allows 2 entities two communicate securely knowing only their `id` an id is linked to a public key on the blockchain. Hence messages are verifiable via a signature. + +To be able to contact the node directly you need to run +- `yggdrasil` +- `rmb` (correctly configured) + +Once you have those running you can now contact the node over `rmb`. For a reference implementation (function names and parameters) please refer to [RMB documentation](../../rmb/rmb_toc.md) + +Here is a rough example of how low level creation of a deployment is done. + +```go +cl, err := rmb.Default() +if err != nil { + panic(err) +} +``` +then create an instance of the node client +```go +node := client.NewNodeClient(NodeTwinID, cl) +``` +define your deployment object +```go +dl := gridtypes.Deployment{ + Version: Version, + TwinID: Twin, //LocalTwin, + // this contract id must match the one on substrate + Workloads: []gridtypes.Workload{ + network(), // network workload definition + zmount(), // zmount workload definition + publicip(), // public ip definition + zmachine(), // zmachine definition + }, + SignatureRequirement: gridtypes.SignatureRequirement{ + WeightRequired: 1, + Requests: []gridtypes.SignatureRequest{ + { + TwinID: Twin, + Weight: 1, + }, + }, + }, +} +``` +compute hash +```go +hash, err := dl.ChallengeHash() +if err != nil { + panic("failed to create hash") +} +fmt.Printf("Hash: %x\n", hash) +``` +create the contract on `substrate` and get the `contract id` then you can link the deployment to the contract, then send to the node. + +```go +dl.ContractID = 11 // from substrate +ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second) +defer cancel() +err = node.DeploymentDeploy(ctx, dl) +if err != nil { + panic(err) +} +``` + +Once the node receives the deployment. It will then fetch the contract (using the contract id) from the node recompute the deployment hash and compare with the one set on the contract. If matches, the node proceeds to process the deployment. + +## Deployment + +A deployment is a set of workloads that are contextually related. Workloads in the same deployment can reference to other workloads in the same deployment. But can't be referenced from another deployment. Well, except the network workload which can be referenced from a different deployment as long it belongs to the same user. + +Workloads has unique IDs (per deployment) that are set by the user, hence he can create multiple workloads then reference to them with the given IDs (`names`) + +For example, a deployment can define +- A private network with id `net` +- A disk with id `data` +- A public IP with id `ip` +- A container that uses: + - The container can mount the disk like `mount: {data: /mount/path}`. + - The container can get assign the public IP to itself like by referencing the IP with id `ip`. + - etc. + +### Workload +Each workload has a type which is associated with some data.

It's the database responsibility then to accept or deny the connection.\ +This is why the max number of open pool connections is set to 80: It's below the max connections the database could handle (100), and it gives room for other actors outside of the explorer to open connections with the database.\ diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/proxy/db_testing.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/proxy/db_testing.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..60bffed --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/proxy/db_testing.md @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +

Multiple defaults can exist at the same time, and the most fitting should be chosen. + +## Farming Policy Fields + +A farming policy has the following fields: + +- id (used to link policies) +- name +- Default. This indicates if the policy can be used by any new node (if the parent farm does not have a dedicated attached policy). Essentially, a `Default` policy serves as a base which can be overriden per farm by linking a non default policy to said farm. +- Reward tft per CU, SU and NU, IPV4 +- Minimal uptime needed in integer format (example 995) +- Policy end (After this block number the policy can not be linked to new farms any more) +- If this policy is immutable or not. Immutable policies can never be changed again + +Additionally, we also use the following fields, though those are only useful for `Default` farming policies: + +- Node needs to be certified +- Farm needs to be certified (with certification level, which will be changed to an enum). + +In case a farming policy is not attached to a farm, new nodes will pick the most appropriate farming policy from the default ones. To decide which one to pick, they should be considered in order with most restrictive first until one matches. That means: + +- First check for the policy with highest farming certification (in the current case gold) and certified nodes +- Then check for a policy with highest farming certification (in the current case gold) and non certified nodes +- Check for policy without farming certification but certified nodes +- Last check for a policy without any kind of certification + +Important here is that certification of a node only happens after it comes live for the first time. As such, when a node gets certified, farming certification needs to be re evaluated, but only if the currently attached farming policy on the node is a `Default` policy (as specifically linked policies have priority over default ones). When evaluating again, we first consider if we are eligible for the farming policy linked to the farm, if any. + +## Limits on linked policy + +When a council member attaches a policy to a farm, limits can be set. These limits define how much a policy can be used for nodes, before it becomes unusable and gets removed. The limits currently are: + +- Farming Policy ID: the ID of the farming policy which we want to limit to a farm. +- CU. Every time a node is added in the farm, it's CU is calculated and deducted from this amount. If the amount drops below 0, the maximum amount of CU that can be attached to this policy is reached. +- SU. Every time a node is added in the farm, it's SU is calculated and deducted from this amount. If the amount drops below 0, the maximum amount of SU that can be attached to this policy is reached. +- End date. After this date the policy is not effective anymore and can't be used. It is removed from the farm and a default policy is used. +- Certification. If set, only certified nodes can get this policy. Non certified nodes get a default policy. + +Once a limit is reached, the farming policy is removed from the farm, so new nodes will get one of the default policies until a new policy is attached to the farm. + +## Creating a Policy + +A council member can create a Farming Policy (DAO) in the following way: + +1: Open [PolkadotJS](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/extrinsics) apps on the corresponding network and go to `Extrinsics` +2: Now select the account to propose from (should be an account that's a council member). +3: Select as action `dao` -> `propose` +5: Set a `threshold` (amount of farmers to vote) +6: Select an actions `tfgridModule` -> `createFarmingPolicy` and fill in all the fields. +7: Create a forum post with the details of the farming policy and fill in the link of that post in the `link` field +8: Give it some good `description`. +9: Duration is optional (by default it's 7 days). A proposal cannot be closed before the duration is "expired". If you wish to set a duration, the duration should be expressed in number of blocks from `now`. For example, 2 hours is equal to 1200 blocks (blocktime is 6 seconds) in this case, the duration should be filled in as `1200`. +10: If all the fields are filled in, click `Propose`, now Farmers can vote. A proposal can be closed manually once there are enough votes AND the proposal is expired. To close go to extrinsics -> `dao` -> `close` -> fill in proposal hash and index (both can be found in chainstate). + +All (su, cu, nu, ipv4) values should be expressed in units USD. Minimal uptime should be expressed as integer that represents an percentage (example: `95`). + +Policy end is optional (0 or some block number in the future). This is used for expiration. + +For reference: + +![image](./img/create_policy.png) + +## Linking a policy to a Farm + +First identify the policy ID to link to a farm. You can check for farming policies in [chainstate](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/chainstate) -> `tfgridModule` -> `farmingPolciesMap`, start with ID 1 and increment with 1 until you find the farming policy which was created when the proposal was expired and closed. + +1: Open [PolkadotJS](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/extrinsics) apps on the corresponding network and go to `Extrinsics` +2: Now select the account to propose from (should be an account that's a council member). +3: Select as proposal `dao` -> `propose` +4: Set a `threshold` (amount of farmers to vote) +5: Select an actions `tfgridModule` -> `attachPolicyToFarm` and fill in all the fields (FarmID and Limits). +6: Limits contains a `farming_policy_id` (Required) and cu, su, end, node count (which are all optional). It also contains `node_certification`, if this is set to true only certified nodes can have this policy. +7: Create a forum post with the details of why we want to link that farm to that policy and fill in the link of that post in the `link` field +8: Give it some good `description`. +9: Duration is optional (by default it's 7 days).

Nodes, farms, users are registered on the chain. It plays the central role in achieving decentralised consensus between a user and Node to deploy a certain workload. A contract can be created on the chain that is essentially an agreement between a node and user. + +## Twins + +A twin is the central Identity object that is used for every entity that lives on the grid. A twin optionally has an IPV6 planetary network address which can be used for communication between twins no matter of the location they are in. A twin is coupled to a private/public keypair on chain. This keypair can hold TFT on TF Chain. + +## Farms + +A farm must be created before a Node can be booted. Every farms needs to have an unique name and is linked to the Twin that creates the farm. Once a farm is created, a unique ID is generated. This ID can be used to provide to the boot image of a Node. + +## Nodes + +When a node is booted for the first time, it registers itself on the chain and a unique identity is generated for this Node. + +## Node Contract + +A node contract is a contract between a user and a Node to deploy a certain workload. The contract is specified as following: + +``` +{ + "contract_id": auto generated, + "node_id": unique id of the node, + "deployment_data": some additional deployment data + "deployment_hash": hash of the deployment definition signed by the user + "public_ips": number of public ips to attach to the deployment contract +} +``` + +We don't save the raw workload definition on the chain but only a hash of the definition. After the contract is created, the user must send the raw deployment to the specified node in the contract. He can find where to send this data by looking up the Node's twin and contacting that twin over the planetary network. + +## Rent Contract + +A rent contract is also a contract between a user and a Node, but instead of being able to reserve a part of the node's capacity, the full capacity is rented. Once a rent contract is created on a Node by a user, only this user can deploy node contracts on this specific node. A discount of 50% is given if a the user wishes to rent the full capacity of a node by creating a rent contract. All node contracts deployed on a node where a user has a rent contract are free of use expect for the public ip's which can be added on a node contract. + +## Name Contract + +A name contract is a contract that specifies a unique name to be used on the grid's webgateways. Once a name contract is created, this name can be used as and entrypoint for an application on the grid. + +## Contract billing + +Every contract is billed every 1 hour on the chain, the amount that is due is deducted from the user's wallet every 24 hours or when the user cancels his contract. The total amount acrued in those 24 hours gets send to following destinations: + +- 10% goes to the threefold foundation +- 5% goes to staking pool wallet (to be implemented in a later phase) +- 50% goes to certified sales channel +- 35% TFT gets burned + +See [pricing](../../../knowledge_base/cloud/pricing/pricing.md) for more information on how the cost for a contract is calculated. + +## Contract locking + +To not overload the chain with transfer events and others we choose to lock the amount due for a contract every hour and after 24 hours unlock the amount and deduct it in one go. This lock is saved on a user's account, if the user has multiple contracts the locked amount will be stacked. + +## Contract grace period + +When the owner of a contract runs out funds on his wallet to pay for his deployment, the contract goes in to a Grace Period state. The deployment, whatever that might be, will be unaccessible during this period to the user. When the wallet is funded with TFT again, the contract goes back to a normal operating state. If the grace period runs out (by default 2 weeks) the user's deployment and data will be deleted from the node. + +## DAO + +See [DAO](../../dashboard/tfchain/tf_dao.md) for more information on the DAO on TF Chain. + +## Farming Policies + +See [farming_policies](farming_policies.md) for more information on the farming policies on TF Chain. + +## Node Connection price + +A connection price is set to every new Node that boots on the Grid. This connection price influences the amount of TFT farmed in a period. The connection price set on a node is permanent. The DAO can propose the increase / decrease of the connection price. At the time of writing the connection price is set to $ 0.08. When the DAO proposes a connection price and the vote is passed, new nodes will attach to the new connection price. + +## Node Certifiers + +Node certifiers are entities who are allowed to set a node's certification level to `Certified`. The DAO can propose to add / remove entities that can certify nodes. This is usefull for allowing approved resellers of Threefold nodes to mark nodes as Certified. A certified node farms 25% more tokens than `Diy` a node. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/tfchain/tfchain_external_service_contract.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/tfchain/tfchain_external_service_contract.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..992186a --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/developers/tfchain/tfchain_external_service_contract.md @@ -0,0 +1,142 @@ +

We will update the manual as we get more information. We currently do not accept new solution providers. + +A "solution" is something running on the grid, created by a community member. This can be brought forward to the council, who can vote on it to recognize it as a solution. On contract creation, a recognized solution can be referenced, in which case part of the payment goes toward the address coupled to the solution. On chain a solution looks as follows: + +- Description (should be some text, limited in length. Limit should be rather low, if a longer one is desired a link can be inserted. 160 characters should be enough imo). +- Up to 5 payout addresses, each with a payout percentage. This is the percentage of the payout received by the associated address. The amount is deducted from the payout to the treasury and specified as percentage of the total contract cost. As such, the sum of these percentages can never exceed 50%. If this value is not 50%, the remainder is payed to the treasure. Example: 10% payout percentage to addr 1, 5% payout to addr 2. This means 15% goes to the 2 listed addresses combined and 35% goes to the treasury (instead of usual 50). Rest remains as is. If the cost would be 10TFT, 1TFT goes to the address1, 0.5TFT goes to address 2, 3.5TFT goes to the treasury, instead of the default 5TFT to the treasury +- A unique code. This code is used to link a solution to the contract (numeric ID). + +This means contracts need to carry an optional solution code. If the code is not specified (default), the 50% goes entirely to the treasury (as is always the case today). + +A solution can be created by calling the extrinsic `smartContractModule` -> `createSolutionProvider` with parameters: + +- description +- link (to website) +- list of providers + +Provider: + +- who (account id) +- take (amount of take this account should get) specified as an integer of max 50. example: 25 + +A forum post should be created with the details of the created solution provider, the dao can vote to approve this or not.

They help to make data available and to manage load. + +3Nodes store workloads data and can report on their state to the TF Grid and to middlewares. + + +### What is the difference between Internet capacity and connectivity? Does ThreeFold replace my Internet service provider (ISP)? + +In simple terms, the Internet is composed of both capacity and connectivity. Capacity is where the data and resources are being handled, for example in servers. Connectivity is the infrastructure that transfer data and resources between servers. The latter is linked to the typical Internet service provider (ISP). + +ThreeFold’s technology enables distributed capacity generation, but ThreeFold doesn’t deal in connectivity. +3nodes offer Internet capacity, but farmers still rely on connectivity provider like the usual Internet service provider (ISP). + +### What are the priorities of ThreeFold (the Three P of ThreeFold)? ThreeFold is a Planet first project, what does it mean? + +ThreeFold is working for the Planet, the People and Profit, in this very order of importance. Planet comes first as it is our home to us all. A humane enterprise always has people before profit, and serious entrepreneurs know profit cannot be left out of the equation of a thriving project. + + +### I want to help build the new Internet.

Note that, in this case, the twin will be created on mainnet. + + +## ThreeFold Communication + +### Is there a ThreeFold app for mobile? + +Yes! ThreeFold Connect App (TF Connect App) is available for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jimber.threebotlogin) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threefold-connect/id1459845885). + +You can use this app to create a ThreeFold ID, a ThreeFold Wallet and also a ThreeFold Farm to link all your 3nodes. +The ThreeFold Connect Wallet, with its Stellar payout address, can be used for transactions as well as to receive farming rewards. +The News section gives you the latest information on the fast ThreeFold development and growth. + + +### I want to reach the ThreeFold community. What are ThreeFold social links? + +You can find links to the ThreeFold community at the bottom of the main page of the [ThreeFold website](https://www.threefold.io/). + + +### Could we reach out someone for publishing research work on ThreeFold? + +You can send an email to info@threefold.io for publishing research on ThreeFold. + + +### Who can I write to for a proposal? Where can I send a proposal email for a new partnership opportunity with ThreeFold? + +You can mail your proposal to info@threefold.io or write about your proposal on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/). + + + +### How can I track and follow the progress and development of ThreeFold? + +There are two main places where you can track the progress of ThreeFold. ThreeFold is open source and its developments can be easily tracked on Github. + +* You can read about the ongoing ThreeFold Tech projects [here](https://github.com/orgs/threefoldtech/projects). +* You can read about the ongoing ThreeFold Foundation projects [here](https://github.com/orgs/threefoldfoundation/projects?query=is%3Aopen). + + + +### Why do some forum posts need to be approved? + +The configurations of the ThreeFold forum make so that some posts need approval, depending on where they are posted. Like posting from meta-sections, and some specific sections. + +Also, note that certain posts can automatically get flagged for moderation based on their content. + + + +## The Technology of ThreeFold + +### What is a 3Node? + +It is essentially a single server that makes up a larger network of servers which together form the ThreeFold Grid. Essentially any modern computer can be turned into a 3node (DIY Farming) and you can [buy plug and play 3nodes](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php) as state of the art modern computer. + + + +### What is the difference between a 3node and a ThreeFold farm? + +A 3node is a single server connected to the Grid. Each 3node is linked to a farm. A farm can be composed of multiple 3nodes. + + +### What is Zero-OS from ThreeFold? + +Zero-OS is a stateless and lightweight operating system designed to host anything that runs on Linux, in a decentralized way. Once installed, Zero-OS locks the hardware and dedicates its capacity to the People’s Internet via the ThreeFold Blockchain. + + + +### ThreeFold uses Quantum Safe Storage technology, what does it mean? + +Quantum computers are theoretically capable of doing huge calculations in a short period of time. By this fact alone, it is a great potential threat to future online safety. ThreeFold solves this future problem before it even becomes a reality. Indeed, Zero-os can compress, encrypt, and disperse data across the Grid. + + + +### Quantum Safe File System (QSFS) allows for part of the storage to go down and it can self repair, however it’s still attached to a single VM and a single point of failure. Can a QSFS instance be reattached to another VM to recover it? + +QSFS is built from storage devices which are distributed and decentralized. + +The storage engine is a software running on a VM that can run everywhere. +If the storage engine needs to run on a different VM the config needs to pushed to the new VM. +In short, yes Quantum safe file system (QSFS) can be recovered on a different VM. It is not automated yet on Zero-OS. A video tutorial will be shared soon. + + + + +### Where does the ThreeFold Explorer take its data from? + +The ThreeFold Explorer takes its data from this website: [https://gridproxy.grid.tf/](https://gridproxy.grid.tf/). + +To explore Grid Proxy, you can use Swagger: [https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html](https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html). You will then be able to query the TF Grid and extract data. + +See the next Q&A for more information on Swagger. + + + +### How can I use the Gridproxy to query information on the TF Grid? + +You can go to the Gridproxy Swagger index: [https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html](https://gridproxy.grid.tf/swagger/index.html). + +There you can query information such as information on a 3node. + +For example, asking the Gridproxy for the nodeID 466, you get the following URL: `https://gridproxy.grid.tf/nodes/466`. + +To get specific information, you can add parameters, for example: `https://gridproxy.grid.tf/nodes/466/status`. + +When you know the URL representation of the query, you can simply use the URL directly on a web browser. + + + +### How can I see the stats of the ThreeFold Grid? + +You can go to think link: [https://stats.grid.tf/](https://stats.grid.tf/) to see the stats of the ThreeFold Grid. + +You can also check this [thread](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-utilization-overview/3291/) on the ThreeFold forum. + + +### What is the difference between a seed phrase (mnemonics) and an HEX secret? + +A seed phrase (also called mnemonics) is a set of words from a carefully selected pool that can be used to derive cryptographic secrets. A HEX secret is a more direct representation of such secret that the computer uses. In the case of an HEX secret, there is no extra information present to form complete words of the seed phrase. + +In typical usage, multiple secrets can be derived from a seed phrase via a one-way operation. The secret and its derived public key are sufficient to do any cryptographic operation like signing transactions or encrypting data, but it can't be used to get back the words of the seed phrase. + + + +## Buying and Transacting TFT + + +### How long does it take when you use the BSC-Stellar Bridge? + +The bridge will process deposits/withdrawals within 48 hours. + + + +### On my website, users can donate TFT on the Stellar Chain. Is there a way for users on my website to easily track the total sum of TFT donated? + +There is a simple way to do this. The [Stellar Explorer](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public) has an embeddable widget that you can insert on any website, including WordPress. + +Simply go to the account you’re interested in showing the balance of, look for “Balance History”, select TFT, and finally click the small icon next to the heading to reveal the embed code. In your WordPress page editor, in HTML mode, paste the embed code. + + +## TF Connect App, TF Dashboard, GraphQL, Grix Proxy and Polkadot Substrate + +### Is there a way to create or import another wallet in TF Connect App? + +The TF Connect App supports Stellar and TF Chain wallets. The app by default can create one wallet. To add any number of additional wallets, you must create a wallet on Stellar or TF Chain and then import it with the import function. + + + +### I created a farm on the TF Chain. On the TF Connect App Farmer Migration section, my farm is under Other v3 farms, is this normal? + +Yes this is normal. Farms created on TF Chain instead of the TF Connect App will appear in *Other v3 farms*. + + + +### I am trying to access my wallet in the ThreeFold Connect App. It worked fine before, but now I just get a white screen. What does it mean and what can I do? + +On the TF Connect App, when you get a white screen, it means that there is a connection issue. It can help to try other networks; maybe try switching between ethernet cable or wifi. Or you can also try it later when the connection might be more stable. + + + +### When I open the ThreeFold Connect App, I get the error: Error in initialization in Flagsmith. How can I fix this issue? + +To fix this Flagsmith error message on the ThreeFold Connect app, you can try the following methods: + +* Check your internet connection +* Update your phone current operating system (OS) version +* Update the date and time on your phone + + +### Apart form the ThreeFold Connect App Wallet, how can I check my TFT balance? + +You can go on [Stellar.Expert](https://stellar.expert). With your wallet address, you will be able to see your transactions and wallet details. + + + +### Is it possible to export the transaction history of a wallet to a CSV file? + +Yes, every blockchain has an explorer function and these explorer functions allow you to see transactions and export them. TFT is on 2 chains at the moment: Stellar and Polkadot. + +For Stellar based TFT’s there is an explorer here: https://stellar.expert/explorer/public. Enter you wallet address in the top left search box, and after pressing enter you should see every transaction related to your account. + +If you are not deploying/doing things on the TF Grid (dev, test or mainnet) you will not have transferred any tokens to the TF Chain, therefore all your tokens/wallets will be on the Stellar Chain. + + +### How can I use GraphQl to find information on the ThreeFold Grid? + +To find information on the ThreeFold Grid with GraphQL, go to this [link](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql). On the left menu, choose the parameters you want to search and write the necessary information, if needed, then click on the Play button in the middle section, at the top. + +Here's an example of a query, where we want to find all the farms containing "duck" in their name. + +query MyQuery { + farms(where: {name_contains: "duck"}) { + name + farmID + } +} + +This code can be written automatically if you simply select the proper parameters in the left menu. +For the previous example, we had to click on "farms", then "where", and then "name_contains". After clicking on "name_contains", you need to add the words you are looking for, in this example we had "duck". Further down the menu, we simply had to click on "farmID" and "name", and then click the Play button. The results of the query appear on the right screen. + + + +### What are the different links to ThreeFold's Graph QL depending on the network? + +The links for the Development, Test and Main Networks are the following: + +* Main Net Graph QL + * [https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql) +* Test Net Graph QL + * [https://graphql.test.grid.tf/graphql](https://graphql.test.grid.tf/graphql) +* Dev Net Graph QL + * [https://graphql.dev.grid.tf/graphql](https://graphql.dev.grid.tf/graphql) + + + +### How can I find 3Nodes with IPv6 addresses? + +You can use [GraphQL](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql) for such queries. + +Use the following code to search for 3Nodes with IPv6 addresses. +Enter the following code on the middle window and click on the "Play" button. + +``` +query MyQuery { + publicConfigs { + ipv6 + node { + nodeID + } + } +} +``` + +The 3nodes with IPv6 addresses will appear on the right window. + +For more information on how to use Graph QL, read [this Q&A](#how-can-i-use-graphql-to-find-information-on-the-threefold-grid). + + + +### How can I use GraphQL to see contracts on my 3Nodes? + +Go to [ThreeFold's GraphQL](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql) and write the following query: + +``` +query MyQuery { + nodeContracts(where: {state_eq: Created, nodeID_eq: 42}) { + resourcesUsed { + cru + hru + mru + sru + } + contractID + twinID + nodeID + } +} + +``` + +This will show you contracts on the 3Node as well as resources used. You can play with the different parameters. + +How can I see the farm associated with a node? + +``` +query MyQuery { + nodes(where: {nodeID_eq: 57}) { + farmID + nodeID + } +} +``` + + + +### How can I use Grid Proxy to find information on the ThreeFold Grid and 3Nodes? + +To find information on the ThreeFold Grid with GraphQL, you need to write this URL: https://gridproxy.grid.tf/, followed by your specific query. Here's an example if we wanted to see all the available farm on the TF Grid that has "duck" in its name: + +https://gridproxy.grid.tf/farms?name_contains=duck + +The Grid Proxy is appropriate for high volume application. +You can find the parameters to be written in the URL when visiting the [GraphQL explorer](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql). + + + +### Who is hosting GraphQL and Grid Proxy on the ThreeFold Grid? + +GraphQL and Grid Proxy are hosted by ThreeFold for everyone to use. + +Note that it is also possible to run your own instance of those tools. + + + +### What is the difference between uptime, status and power state? + +There are three distinctly named endpoints or fields that exist in the back end systems: + +* Uptime + * number of seconds the node was up, as of it's last uptime report. This is the same on GraphQL and Grid Proxy. +* Status + * this is a field that only exists on the Grid Proxy, which corresponds to whether the node sent an uptime report within the last 40 minutes. +* Power state + * this is a field that only exists on GraphQL, and it's the self reported power state of the node. This only goes to "down" if the node shut itself down at request of the Farmerbot. + + + +### I do not remember the name (ThreeFold 3bot ID) associated with my seed phrase on the ThreeFold Connect app. Can I recover my TF Connect app account with only the seed phrase and not the name (3bot ID) associated with it? + +If you forgot the name associated with your seed phrase on the TF Connect app, you can always create a new identity (ThreeFold 3bot ID) and import your wallet using the old seed phrase. + +Since the Connect App is also used for identity and authentication, you need both the name (3bot ID) and seed phrase to fully recover your account. The wallet is only linked to the seed phrase and not the name (3bot ID). + + +# USERS FAQ + +## TF Grid Functionalities + + +### What are the type of storage available on TF Grid? + +There’s two type of storage that van de used on the TF Grid. + +1. VM which has a virtual disk. The virtual disk is a straightforward volume on a local hard disk. Everything stored on this virtual disk is stored only on this virtual (and thus physical) disk. Delete the VM and the virtual disk and the content is gone. +2. Quantum safe storage. Quantum safe storage uses a “Storage Engine” that parts, compresses, encrypts and then mathematically describes the data. + + +## Deployments on the ThreeFold Grid + + +### Does the ThreeFold Grid charge the total resources rented or it only charges the resources used during deployment? + +Billing is based on how many resources you reserve, not how much you use them. For this reason, it can be a good idea to deploy the minimim resources needed per project. + + + +### Do I pay for Internet traffic while deploying workloads on IPv4, IPv6 or Planetary Network? + +You do pay for internet traffic while deploying on the ThreeFold Grid. It is calculated during deployment and paid with ThreeFold tokens (TFT). + +Note that the private overlay network traffic is not billed. + + + +### What is the monthly cost for an IPv4 or an IPv6 public address on the ThreeFold Grid? + +The cost for an IPv4 public address is around 3$/month (USD). + +For an IPv6 address, there is no cost. + + + +### What are the differences between a container, a micro virtual machine and a full virtual machine (VM)? + +The following is a list of certain features related to containers as well as full and micro virtual machines. + +* Container + * generally designed to run a single application + * doesn't need to include a full operating system + * relies on the kernel of the host system, no hypervisor needed + * isolated from the rest of the host system for security and can be limited in resources used + * examples: on the [Playground](https://playground.grid.tf/), we have [Kubernetes](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_k8s?id=kubernetes) and [Caprover](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_caprover?id=caprover), which are both environments that host containers +* Micro VM + * a container image promoted to run as a VM by pairing with a generic kernel + * more isolated than a container, thus more secure + * generally lighter than a full VM + * can be created from any Docker container image by uploading it to the [TF Hub](https://hub.grid.tf/) + * examples: on the [Playground](https://playground.grid.tf/), we have Ubuntu 20.04, Alpine-3, CentOS-8 and more. +* Full VM + * contains a complete operating system including kernel + * capable of anything that can be done with a Linux server + * compatible with any guides and tutorials written for the same version of the distribution they are running + * normally contains systemd, unlike containers which normally do not + * can load kernel modules or replace the kernel entirely, so has best compatibility + * generally heavier than micro VM + * examples: on the [Playground](https://playground.grid.tf/), we have Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and more + +Note that you can run Kubernetes on a micro VM and you can run a very minimal operating system in a full VM. There are many possibilities when using those technologies. + + + +### What is a 3Node gateway? How can I configure a 3Node as a gateway node? + +A 3Node becomes a gateway when a ThreeFold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/). In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid. + +Note that this process differs from when an IP address that has been added to a farm is deployed with a workload in order for that workload to be accessible on the Internet. + +To configure a 3Node as a gateway node, you need a public IP block from your internet service provider (ISP). + +You can configure a 3Node as a gateway node on the [TF mainnet](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), [TF testnet](https://dashboard.test.grid.tf/) and [TF devnet](https://dashboard.dev.grid.tf/). You thus need to choose the correct TF Dashboard link (main, test, dev). + +To configure a 3Node as a gateway node, follow these steps: + +* Configure your DNS records + * Type: A + * Name: + * Value: + * Type: NS + * Name: _acme-challenge. + * Value: . + * Type: CNAME + * Name: *.. + * Value: + * Type: AAAA + * Name: + * Value: +* Configure your 3Node parameters on the TF Dashboard + * Go to the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) + * Go to the section **Portal** + * Go to the subsection **Farms** + * Choose the 3Node you want to turn into a gateway node and click on **Actions** (Add a public config) on the right + * Enter the necessary information and click **Save** + * IPV4: Enter the IPv4 address of your public IP block + * Gateway: Enter the gateway of your public IP block + * IPV6: Enter the IPv6 address of your public IP block + * Gateway IPV6: Enter the gateway of your public IP block + * Domain: . + +Once this is done, you should see the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the section **PUB** of your 3Node screen. + +To learn more about this process, [watch this great video](https://youtu.be/axvKipK7MQM). + + + +### When connecting remotely with SSH, I get the following error: "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!...". What can I do to fix this? + +If you've already done an SSH connection on your computer, the issue is most probably that the "host key has just been changed". To fix this, try one of those two solutions: + +* Linux and MAC: + * ``` + sudo rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts + ``` +* Windows: + * ``` + rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts + ``` + +To be more specific, you can remove the probematic host: + +* Windows, Linux and MAC: + * ``` + ssh-keygen -R + ``` + +Once this is done, you should be able to SSH into your 3Node deployment. + + + +### How can I remove one host from known_hosts? + +You can write the following command +``` +ssh-keygen -R hostname +``` + +Where hostname would be the IPv4 or IPv6 address for example. +In the case of the ThreeFold Grid, it can also be the Planetary Network address. + + + +### How can I add ThreeFold peers in the Yggdrasil configuration file? + +In the file /etc/yggdrasil.conf, write the following in the "Peers" section: + +``` + Peers: [ + # Threefold Lochrist + tcp://gent01.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent02.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent03.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent04.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent01.test.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent02.test.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent01.dev.grid.tf:9943 + tcp://gent02.dev.grid.tf:9943 + # GreenEdge + tcp://gw291.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw293.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw294.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw297.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw298.vienna1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw299.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw300.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw304.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw306.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw307.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw309.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw313.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw324.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw326.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw327.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw328.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw330.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw331.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw333.salzburg1.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw422.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw423.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw424.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + tcp://gw425.vienna2.greenedgecloud.com:9943 + ] +``` + + + +### How can I see Yggdrasil/Planetary Network's peers? + +On MAC and Linux, write the following line in the terminal: + +``` +/etc/yggdrasil.conf +``` + +On Windows, one of the two following lines should work: + +``` +%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Yggdrasil\yggdrasil.conf +``` + +``` +C:\ProgramData\Yggdrasil\ +``` + +These are the general location of Yggdrasil.

Will ThreeFold embrace and move towards distributed data chunks or stay with the one deployment, one node model? + +The ThreeFold Grid is basically agnostic when it comes to how you structure your deployment. + +If you want to put all your storage and compute on one node and lose everything if it goes down, you can do so. + +If you want a highly distributed and fault tolerant system with high availability where data is never lost, you can also do so. You could build an architecture with single nodes running single workloads as the building blocks. + +Containerized micro service architectures running on e.g. Kubernetes are basically the way that compute is being "sharded" already in the mainstream of IT, especially at large scales. Such applications fit well on the ThreeFold Grid today, since they account for the possibility that individual nodes may fail. However, many applications aren't built this way and it takes work to adapt them. + +Self driving and self healing IT is one of the core concepts of ThreeFold. What we've built so far is an excellent foundation for making this reality. Some additional features might come into TF Chain and the network itself to enable such features. That being said, a lot is already possible using the existing system. It's just a matter of gluing things together in the right way. + + + +## Tutorials and Guides + + +### What is the minimum amount of TFT to deploy a Presearch node? How can I get a TFT discount when I deploy a Presearch node? + +The minimum amount of TFT that needs to be in your ThreeFold Profile before you can deploy a Presearch node is 2 TFT. But this would not last very long. + +To benefit from the biggest reduction in price (-60%), you need to have a sufficient amount of TFT in your wallet. The TFT is not locked and simply needs to be present in your wallet. + + +For the capacity of a Presearch node, the amount is around 5000 TFT, covering 3 years that the workload could run. + +Note that a Presearch node requires about 3 days to stabilize. + + + + +### Can I use the same seed phrase for my mainnet and testnest accounts? How can I transfer my TFT from mainnet to testnet or vice versa? + +Yes, you can use the same seed phrase for you main and testnet accounts. They will have the same address on each chain but they are really separate accounts. It is much like using the same wallet on Ethereum and BSC for example. + +To transfer your TFT from mainnet to testnet or vice versa, you need to send your TFT to the Stellar chain first. Let's say you want to transfer TFT from the mainnet to the testnet. Here are the steps: + +* Open your mainnet profile on the [mainnet Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), on the left menu, choose Portal and then Swap. Click the button Withdraw. Send your TFTs from the mainnet address to your Stellar address. + +* Open your testnet profile on the [testnet Dashboard](https://dashboard.test.grid.tf/), on the left menu, choose Portal and then Swap. Click the button Deposit. Send your TFTs from your Stellar address to the testnet address. You can use the QR code option to make the transfer. + +To go from testnet to mainnet, simply use the URLs in the opposite order. + +> Note that the fees are of 1 TFT per transfer. + + + +### Do I need a full or micro virtual machine (VM) when I run QSFS, quantum safe file system, on the ThreeFold Grid? + +QSFS can be run on both a full virtual machine or a micro virtual machine (VM). The QSFS is a "mountable" object, like a disk. It's defined in its own block, then specified as a mount within a VM. + + +## Linux, Github, Containers and More + +### Where should I start to learn more about Linux? + +While the [ThreeFold Manual](https://www.manual.grid.tf/) would be a good place to learn about ThreeFold and how to deploy on the TF Grid, to learn specifically about Linux, a good place to start is the [Linux website](https://www.linux.org/). There you will find [many tutorials](https://www.linux.org/forums/#linux-tutorials.122). + +A general advice to learn Linux, and computers in general, is to develop the skill of finding answers by following your natural curiosity: most of the questions have been asked before and answers can be found through search engines. + +Before doing any web search, you can use the resources already on hand in the terminal. For any command, you can try adding `-h` or `--help` for a brief description of what it does and to see some commonly used arguments. Typing `man` and then the command name will bring up a more detailed manual, assuming it exists and is installed (e.g. `man sudo`). + +Some ThreeFold users also point out that using different AI and LLM can be very helpful in the process of learning Linux and computers in general. + + +### How can I clone a single branch of a repository on Github? + +You can clone a single branch of a repository with the following line: + +``` +git clone --single-branch --branch branch_name https://github.com/GITHUB_ACCOUNT/REPOSITORY_NAME +``` + + + +## Grace Period (Status Paused) + +### The status of my deployment is paused, in grace period, how can I resume the deployment? + +When your wallet is running out of TFT to pay for deployments, your deployments will be paused. +To resume your deployments, simply fill up your wallet with more TFT. + + + +### Once I refund my TF wallet, how long does it take for the deployment to resume from grace period? + +It can take around one hour to change the status from "paused" to "ok" and thus for the deployment to resume. + + + +### Can I SSH into my deployments when they are in grace period (i.e. when their status is paused)? + +While in grace period, you might not be able to SSH into your deployment. Refund your wallet to resume deployments. + + + +### How long is the grace period (i.e. when the deployment status is paused)? + +The grace period is 2 weeks. During this period, you can refill your wallet to resume your deployment. + + + +## Terraform + +### Working with Terraform, I get the following error: failed to create contract: ContractIsNotUnique. Is there a fix to this issue? + +This error happens when a contract with the same data is already active. For example, two conflicting contracts are not in the same deployment. You can try to change the data on the main.tf file to make sure it's not a self-conflicting terraform deployment. + + + +### I am working with Terraform. What do I have to write in the file env.tfvars? + +This env.tfvars should look like the following, with the proper content within the quotes: + +> MNEMONICS = "write your seed phrase" +> +> NETWORK = "write the main network" +> +> SSH_KEY = "write your ssh-key" + +Note that this could change based on your specific Terraform deployment. + + + +### I am working with Terraform and I am using the example in Terraform Provider Grid. How can I use the example main.tf file with environment variables? Why am I getting the message Error: account not found, when deploying with Terraform? + +This Q&A is linked with the main.tf file in the [QSFS section of the ThreeFold Tech repository](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid/blob/development/examples/resources/qsfs/main.tf). + +This error happens when you did not properly set your environment variables. +In the main.tf file, add those lines at the top: + +> variable "MNEMONICS" { +> +> type = string +> +> description = "The mnemonic phrase used to generate the seed for the node." +> +> } + +> variable "NETWORK" { +> +> type = string +> +> default = "main" +> +> description = "The network to connect the node to." +> +> } + +> variable "SSH_KEY" { +> +> type = string +> +> } + +Within the file main.tf, set those lines: + +> provider "grid" { +> +> mnemonics = "${var.MNEMONICS}" +> +> network = "${var.NETWORK}" +> +> } + +> env_vars = { +> +> SSH_KEY = "${var.SSH_KEY}" +> +> } + +Note: Make sure that you properly set your variables in the file env.tfvars. + + +## Users Troubleshooting and Error Messages + +### When deploying a virtual machine (VM) on the ThreeFold Grid, I get the following message after trying a full system update and upgrade: GRUB failed to install to the following devices... Is there a fix to this issue? + +When deploying a virtual machine and doing a full system update and upgrade (apt update, apt upgrade), if you get the error: GRUB failed to install to the following devices /dev/vda15, try this to fix it: + +> apt-mark hold grub-efi-amd64-signed + +This should fix the issue. + + +### While deploying on the TF Dashboard, I get the following error :"global workload with the same name exists: conflict". What can I do to fix this issue? + +This error happens if you deployed a workload on the TF Dashboard with the same deployment name of a previous deployment. In general, you can simply refresh the TF Dashboard browser page and/or change the deployment name for a new one. This should fix the issue. + + + +## ThreeFold Connect App + +### TF Connect App is now asking for a 4-digit password (PIN). I don't remember it as I usually use touch or face ID to unlock the app. What can I do? + +When you set up your the app, you are asked a 4-digit password (PIN). After some time, the app will be asking for this PIN when users may have been exclusively using touch/face ID. You can reset it by recovering the account with your seedphrase. + + +### Is there a way to have more than one wallet in TF Connect App? + +Yes, this is perfectly possible. You can have multiple wallets in the TF Connect app. You can have multiple wallets for the Stellar network and multiple wallets for Polkadot Substrate. + +For example, you can create a wallet on the Stellar Blockchain and import it on TF Connect App with the function *Import Wallet*. Just copy the seedphrase and it will be imported in TF Connect App. + +Note: There will not be an automatic function in the app to create a new wallet. You must do it manually. + + + +### What is the difference between 10.x.y.z and 192.168.x.y addresses? + +The addresses 10.x.y.z and 192.168.x.y are on the private network. + +A 10.x.y.z address is just as valid as a 192.168.x.y address for a private network. If all the devices get a 10.x.y.z network, your private network should work properly. But if some of your devices are getting 10.x.y.z addresses while others are getting 192.168.x.y addresses, then you have two conflicting DHCP servers in your network. + + + +# DEVELOPERS FAQ + +## General Information for Developer + +### Does Zero-OS assign private IPv4 addresses to workloads? + +No. Zero-OS will request two IP address from the DHCP. If you only have one physical NIC connected, Zero-OS will assign the second IP address as a virtual device. + + + +### Why does each 3Node server have two IP addresses associated with it? + +Each node has two IP adresses. + +One is for for Zero-OS and one is for for the DMZ (demilitarized zone, sometimes referred to as a perimeter network or screened subnet). This separates public/private traffic from each other. + +Note: Zero-OS will request two IP address from the DHCP. If you only have one physical NIC connected, Zero-OS will assign the second IP address as a virtual device. + +### Can Zero-OS assign public IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to workloads? +Yes it can provide both standard and Yggdrasil connections. + + +### What does MAC mean when it comes to networking? +MAC means *media access control*. It is a unique hardware ID. It helps the network to recognize your machine. It is then, for example, possible to assign a specific and fixed IP address to your hardware. + + + + +### I am a developer looking for a way to automatically convert BSC tokens into TFT. Could you please share tips on how to swap regular tokens into TFT, on backend, without and browser extensions, via any platform API? + +TFT is implemented as a cross-chain asset (BToken) on BSC. + +Swapping via Pancakeswap directly without a browser and extension can be done by calling the Pancakeswap's BSC contract directly. Note that this requires some EVM knowledge on calling contracts. + +TFT is a standard ERC-20 contract, called BEP20 on BSC. You will thus need to call the approved method in the TFT contract to allow Pancakeswap to transfer TFTs from your account. + +The TFT contract allows you to approve a large amount and when Pancakeswap makes the transfer, the TFT will be deducted from the transaction. This will not reset so you will not have to make a call to approve every swap. This will thus save some gas. + + + +## Test Net + +### Can I get some free TFT to test on Test Net + +The TFT on Test Net is real TFT. There are ways to get free TFT to explore Test Net, such as joining the Beta Tester Group. More information [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/join-the-grid-3-0-beta-testers-group/1194/21). + + + +# FARMERS FAQ + +## TFT Farming Basics + +### My Titan is v2.1 and the ThreeFold Grid is v3., what is the distinction? + +Titan v2.1 is the hardware. Before v2.1, there was 2.0. The hardware currently being shipped is the Titan v2.1. + +When you read v3, it refers to the ThreeFold Grid. Titans are now being sent ready for TF Grid v3 so they are being referred to as Titan v3. In short, the current Titans are v2.1 hardware ready for ThreeFold Grid v3. + + + +### When will I receive the farming rewards for my 3Nodes? + +Farming rewards are usually sent around the 8th of each month. This can vary slightly because the verification process is not yet fully automated. + +For more information on the minting process, read the next [QnA](#what-is-the-tft-minting-process-is-it-fully-automated). + + + +### What is the TFT minting process? Is it fully automated? + +Minting is based on blockchain data according to strict rules that are carried out by computers with humans involved only to check for errors and to sign the resulting transactions. + +There is a human verification mechanism through multisignatures for calculations done on the data as stored in the blockchain. This explains the timing differences when it comes to the monthly farming rewards distribution, since enough people need to sign off. + +The detailed minting process for V3 is as follow: + +- TFChain, ThreeFold's blockchain, has all the details about capacity provided by the nodes. +- TFChain is used to track uptime. +- Zero-OS reports to TFChain. +- The code in [this repo](https://github.com/threefoldtech/minting_v3) uses the information from the blockchain to calculate the TFT to be minted. +- A proof of what needs to be minted and why is created. This proof is then sent to our guardians. +- The guardians need to double check the execution and the minting report. This is like a human check on the automated process. +- The guardians need to sign. Only when consensus is achieved the minting as suggested will happen. This allows human to check the code. + +It is important to understant that TFChain tracks the capacity and uptime and is the source for the minting. + +Note: Additional auditing code will be added in V4 (i.e. special code generated at runtime for verification) using security primitives on motherboards. + +For more information on the minting periods, read this [QnA](#what-is-the-start-and-end-of-the-current-minting-period-what-are-the-minting-periods-for-threefold-farming-in-2023). + + + +### What should I do if I did not receive my farming rewards this month? + +If you did not receive your farming rewards, please contact us via our live chats. We will then investigate the situation. + +You can find our live chat option on the TF Connect App ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jimber.threebotlogin&hl=en_CA&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threefold-connect/id1459845885)), the [TF Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/), [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) and the [TF website](https://threefold.io/). +For the TF Connect app, select the Support option. +For the other websites, it is a blue icon on the right bottom part of the page. + +The easiest way to contact the ThreeFold support is to use [this link](https://threefoldfaq.crisp.help/en/) and click on the chat icon. + +### What is the TFT entry price of my 3Node farming rewards? + +Currently, the TFT entry price of the 3Nodes' farming rewards is 8 cents (0.08 USD). + + + +### What is the necessary uptime for a 3Node per period of one month? + +Note that as of now, rewards are proportional to the uptime, so (e.g.) 40% uptime farms 40% of the total uptime period. + +When implemented : For certified Titans 3Nodes, it is 97% uptime per month (21.6h). For DIY 3Nodes, it is 95% uptime per month (36h). For professional certified 3 nodes, it is 99.5% uptime per month (3.6h). + + +### How can I check the uptime of my 3Nodes? Is there a tool to check the uptime of 3Node servers on the ThreeFold Grid? + +You can go on the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), and select "Farms" in the Portal menu. When you select a specific 3Node in your farm, you can see a visual graph of the 3Node's uptime of the last month. By clicking on "Node Statistics", you can see past and present uptime periods. + + + +### I set up a 3Node in the middle of the month, does it affect uptime requirements and rewards? + +You will still need to meet the required uptime (95% for DIY, etc.3), but the period starts when you connected the 3Node for the first time, instead of the usual start of the month. This only applies the first month. Afterwards, the uptime is calculated on the whole month. *Read last Q+A + + +### What is the difference between a certified and a non-certified 3Node? + +A certified 3Node will receive 25% more reward compared to a non-certified 3Node. +You can visit the [ThreeFold Marketplace](https://marketplace.3node.global/) for more information on certified 3Nodes. +DIY certified 3Nodes are a future possibility. + + + +### What are the different certifications available for 3Node servers and farms? What are the Gold and Silver certifications? + +3Nodes can be certified. You can buy certified 3Nodes [here](https://marketplace.3node.global/). + +Farms can also be certified. The certifications are: [gold certified farming](https://forum.threefold.io/t/gep-gold-certified-farming-specs-closed/2925) and [silver certified farming](https://forum.threefold.io/t/silver-booster-request-for-comments/3416). + +Note that gold and silver certifications are still being discussed. Join the discussion on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/). + + +### What is the difference between V2 and V3 minting? + +V2 is being sunset. New miners should directly onboard to V3. +On the tokenomics side, V2 rewards decrease as the difficulty level increases. For the V3 rewards, the rewards are constant for 5 years. In short, V3 is more profitable in the long run. For more information, read [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/comparison-v2-vs-v3-minting/2122). + + + +### What is the TFT minting address on Stellar Chain? + +The TFT minting address on Stellar Chain is the following: GBOVQKJYHXRR3DX6NOX2RRYFRCUMSADGDESTDNBDS6CDVLGVESRTAC47 + +You can see it on the Stellar Explorer [here](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/account/GBOVQKJYHXRR3DX6NOX2RRYFRCUMSADGDESTDNBDS6CDVLGVESRTAC47). + + + +### Can Titans and DIY 3Nodes share the same farm? + +Yes. It's one big ThreeFold family! A farm can have several 3Nodes (Titans or DIY) and each 3Node can be linked to only one farm. + + + +### Do I need one farm for each 3Node? + +No. You only need one farm. One farm can have multiple 3Nodes. When setting your farm, you will add an address for the farming rewards. All farming rewards from each 3Node of your farm will be sent to this address. Note that you can choose to have more than one farm. It is up to you. + + + +### Can a single farm be composed of many 3Nodes? + +Yes. You can have many 3Nodes on the same farm. + + + +### Can a single 3Node be on more than one farm? + +No, this is not possible. + + + +### Do I need one reward address per 3Node? + +You do not need more than one address linked to one farm. All of your 3Nodes can be connected to the same farm. Rewards per each 3Nodes will all be sent to the address linked to your farm. + + + +### How can I access the expert bootstrap mode for Zero-OS? + +You can access the expert bootstrap mode for Zero-OS at this link: [https://bootstrap.grid.tf/expert](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/expert). + + + +### When it comes to the Zero-OS bootstrap image, can I simply duplicate the first image I burnt when I build another 3Node? + +Yes. What is needed on this bootstrap image is to have the proper farm ID. The bootstrap image will be the same for all your different 3Nodes. It's a good TF farming practice to leave the bootstrap image plugged in the 3Node at all time. + + + +### If a node is unused for certain time (e.g. many months offline), will it be erased by the Grid? + +No, nodes only get deleted if the farm owner chooses to do so. Old "nodes" are really just entries in TF Chain and TF Chain does not modify or delete this data without external input. + + + +### Can a farm be erased from TF Grid? + +No, this is not possible. In the future, we will implement some features in order to allow the cleaning of unused farms. As of now, this is not possible. Also, an old farm does not take resources on the TF Grid, or very little. + + + +### On the ThreeFold Connect App, it says I need to migrate my Titan farm from V2 to V3. What do I have to do? How long does this take? + +To migrate, read [this documentation](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-to-do-if-your-farm-is-still-on-grid-v2-closed/3761). + + + + +### How can I migrate my DIY farm from V2 to V3? + +Create a new [bootstrap image](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/) using your new V3 Farm ID. To create a new V3 Farm ID, you can use the ThreeFold Connect App or the ThreeFold Dashboard. + + + +### What does the pricing policy ID of a farm represent? + +The pricing policy is the definition of how the network bills for workloads (pricing for each resource type, discounts, etc.). + + + +### What is the difference between TiB and TB? Why doesn't the TF Explorer shows the same storage space as my disk? + +Terabyte (TB) and Tebibyte (TiB) are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. While terabyte is a decimal standard unit, Tebibyte is binary. + +* 1 TB = 1000^4 bytes +* 1 TiB = 1024^4 bytes. + +There are thus more bytes in 1 TiB than in 1 TB. +1 TiB is equal to 1.099511627776 TB. + +You can play around these 2 notions by exploring this [TiB-TB converter](https://www.dataunitconverter.com/tebibyte-to-terabyte/). + +You can also check [this table](https://www.seagate.com/ca/en/support/kb/why-does-my-hard-drive-report-less-capacity-than-indicated-on-the-drives-label-172191en/) to compare different OS system's storage representation. + + + +## Farming Rewards and Related Notions + +### What are the rewards of farming? Can I get more rewards when my 3Node is being utilized? + +By connecting a 3Node to the Grid, you get Farming Rewards. If you set a public IP address for the Grid to use, you will receive additional rewards when your 3Node is being utilized by users on the Grid. All rewards are paid in TFT. To know the potential rewards, use the [simulator](https://simulator.grid.tf/). More information on sales channel will be communicated in the future. + + + +### How can I know the potential farming rewards for Grid Utilization? + +Go on the [ThreeFold simulator](https://simulator.grid.tf/), enter your 3Node resources, check the Public IP address. This will enable farming rewards from the parameter NU Required Per CU. Check the difference in the farming rewards per month. Note that you will need a Public IP address. + + + +### What is the easiest way to farm ThreeFold tokens (TFT)? + +Buy a [certified 3Node](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php). This is more or less *plug n play*! You can also build a [DIY 3Node](#what-are-the-general-requirements-for-a-diy-3node-server). It's fun and there are many resources to help you along the way. + + + +### When do I receive my rewards? + +They are distributed once a month, around the 8th*. Distributions are not daily, or after a certain threshold. Note that upcoming minting rules may have a 24 month lockup or until 30% utilization for 3 months on your 3Node. + +*This can change slightly depending on the current situation. + + + +### Do farming rewards take into account the type of RAM, SSD, HDD and CPU of the 3Node server? + +No. The farming rewards do not take into account the specific type of RAM, SSD, HDD and CPU. The farming rewards take into account the quantity of storage and compute units (e.g. TB of SSD/HDD, GB of RAM, # of virtual cores). + + +### Can I send my farming rewards directly to a crypto exchange? + +This is not possible. When you send tokens to a crypto exchange, you need to include a memo with your wallet address and the current farming rewards system of ThreeFold is already using that memo space to send the correct farming information. + + +### Do I need collateral to farm ThreeFold tokens? + +Many decentralized data projects require collateral, but not ThreeFold. There is an ongoing discussion on collateral. Join the discussion [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/should-tft-collateral-be-required-for-3nodes/3724). + + +### Can I add external drives to the 3Nodes to increase rewards and resources available to the ThreeFold Grid? + +As of now, you cannot add external drives to a 3Nodes. It is not yet supported. It might be in the future and we will update the FAQ if/when this happens. + + + +### Do I have access to the TFT rewards I receive each month when farming? + +For now, V3 farming rewards are distributed as TFT on Stellar and they are immediately available. The lock system will be implemented on chain. Tokens will be staked to your address until unlock conditions are met. Conditions are: 2 years of farming or 30% of proof-of-utilization for 3 months per 3Node. + + + +### What is TFTA? Is it still used? + +Note that on V3, TFTA will not be issued anymore. + + + +### Is there a way to certify a DIY 3Node? How can I become a 3Node certified vendor and builder? + +As of now, only certified ThreeFold partners can certify a 3Node. You could become a ThreeFolder vendor and offer certified 3Node. Read more [here](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php?dispatch=companies.apply_for_vendor). + + + +### Does it make sense to make my farm a company? + +There is no general answer to this. Here's what a ThreeFold member thinks about this if you are living in the USA. Check for your current location if this makes sense for you. DYOR. + +> "Definitely do this project as a business entity. You can write off equipment, utilities and a portion of your home's square footage if your are hosting the equipment at home." TFarmer + + + +### What is the difference between uptime and downtime, and between online and offline, when it comes to 3Nodes? + +Uptime and status are two different things. As long as the 3Node is powered on, its uptime does not reset. Its status changes to offline if it hasn't made an uptime report in the last two hours. Even if after more than two hours, the 3Node isn't yet online, the uptime does not reset. Uptime is a function of the system being powered on. + + +### My 3Node server grid utilization is low, is it normal? + +This is normal. Currently, not all 3Nodes are being utilized by users on the ThreeFold Grid. Each month, more and more utilization happens and the ThreeFold Grid continually expans. To read on the ThreeFold Grid utilization and expansion, check this [TF Forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-utilization-overview/3291). + + + + +## 3Node Farming Requirements + + +### Can I host more than one 3Node server at my house? + +Yes, but do not host more than your bandwidth can support. + + + +### Is Wifi supported? Can I farm via Wifi instead of an Ethernet cable? + +No. Wifi is not supported by Zero-OS due to a number of issues, like reliability, performance, configuration requirements and driver support. It's all about Ethernet cables here. + + + +### I have 2 routers with each a different Internet service provider. I disconnected the ethernet cable from one router and connected it to the other router. Do I need to reboot the 3Node? + +You do not need to reboot. The 3Node will be able to reconnect to the ThreeFold Grid. + + + + +### Do I need any specific port configuration when booting a 3Node? + +No, as long as the 3Node is connected to the Internet via an ethernet cable (wifi is not supported), Zero-OS will be able to boot. Usually with the DHCP, it automatically assigns an IP address. + + + +### How much electricity does a 3Node use? + +A small DIY 3Node based on a compact office computer will draw under 20W. A full size server will draw around 100W idling. Note that a 3Node actively used on the Grid (proof-of-utilization) will draw more power, but also generate passive income on top of farming if you have a public IP address. + +For more information, read thes section [Calculate the Total Electricity Cost of Your Farm](../farmers/farming_optimization/farming_costs.md#calculate-the-total-electricity-cost-of-your-farm) of the Farming Guide. + + + +### Has anyone run stress tests to know the power consumption at heavy load of certain 3Nodes? + +The community is starting to gather some data on this. As of now, we know that a R720 with 2x2690v2 cpu, 4TB NVME SSE P4510 and 320GB ram will draw 390W @100% load. With 2x2650L v2, it's around 300W with fans at full speed. More info will be added as we gather more data. + +### Can the Titan 3Node be run on PoE? (Power Over Ethernet) + +Titans don't come equipped for Power Over Ethernet (PoE). If you have a NUC based Titan there are some PoE lids that might be compatible. + + + +### What is the relationship between the 3Node's resources and bandwidth? + +A 3Node connects to the ThreeFold Grid and transfers information, whether it is in the form of compute, storage or network units (CU, SU, NU respectively). The more resources your 3Nodes offer to the Grid, the more bandwidth will be needed to transfer the additional information. + + +### What is the bandwidth needed when it comes to running 3Nodes on the Grid? + +The strict minimum for one Titan is 1 mbps of bandwidth. + +If you want to expand your ThreeFold farm, you should check the following to make sure your bandwidth will be sufficient when there will be Grid utilization. + +> min Bandwidth per 3Node (mbps) = 10 * max((Total SSD TB / 1 TB),(Total Threads / 8 Threads),(Total GB / 64 GB)) + 10 * (Total HDD TB / 2) + +This equation means that for each TB of HDD you need 5 mbps of bandwidth, and for each TB of SSD, 8 Threads and 64GB of RAM (whichever is higher), you need 10 mbps of bandwidth. + +This means a proper bandwidth for a Titan would be 10 mbps. As stated, 1 mbps is the strict minimum for one Titan. + +The bandwidth needed for a given 3Node is not yet set in stone and you are welcome to participate in ongoing the [discussion on this subject](https://forum.threefold.io/t/storage-bandwidth-ratio/1389) on the Forum. + + + +### Can I run Zero-OS on a virtual machine? + +You can. But you won't farm TFT. To farm TFT, Zero-OS needs to be on bare metal. + + +### Is it possible to build a DIY 3Node with VMWare VM ? + +It wouldn't be possible to get farming rewards from such configuration. You need to run a 3Node Zero-OS on bare metal and no virtual machine is permitted. Indeed, to farm TFT you need bare metal. Virtual Machine will not work. Furthermore, all disks of a 3Node need to be wiped completely, thus no other OS can be on the 3Node. + +It would be possible to simply set Zero-OS as a VM on VMWare VM, but it wouldn't farm as stated. + + +### Can I run a 3Node on another operating system, like Windows, MAC or Linux? + +No. ThreeFold runs its own operating system (OS), which is Zero-OS. You thus need to start with completely wiped disks. + +### What is the minimum SSD requirement for a 3Node server to farm ThreeFold tokens (TFT)? + +You need a theoretical minimum of 500 GB SSD on a desktop or server. Less could work. + + + +### Is it possible to have a 3Node server running on only HDD disks? + +This is not possible. A 3Node needs at least one SSD disk of 500 GB. + + + +## Building a 3Node - Steps and Details + + +### How can I be sure that I properly wiped my disks? + +A wiped disk has: +- no label +- no partition +- no filesystem +- only zeroes + +On Linux to see if the disk is only composed of zeroes, use the command line (example with disk sda): + +> cmp /dev/sda /dev/zero + +If there is only zeroes, you should get the output: + +> cmp: EOF on /dev/sda + +You can also use the command line: + +> sudo pv /dev/sda | od | head + +Here are some useful command lines for Linux to make sure there are no partitions, no labels, no filesystems and that the disks are filled with zeroes only: + +> sudo fdisk -l +> +> sudo fdisk -lf +> +> sudo parted -l +> +> sudo parted /dev/sda 'print’ +> +> lsblk --f +> +> lsblk --raw + + + +### If I wipe my disk to create a new node ID, will I lose my farming rewards during the month? + +No, you wouldn't lose any farming rewards. You will get both the rewards for your previous node ID's uptime and also the new node ID's uptime. + +Note that this is the case with the current farming rewards based on total uptime, without any minimum threshold. + + + +### My disks have issues with Zero-OS and my 3Nodes. How can I do a factory reset of the disks? + +> Warning: this is destructive. It erases the disk sda in this example. + +Boot a Linux in Try mode and run the following command: + +> sudo badblocks -svw -b 512 -t 0x00 /dev/sda + +*In this example, the disk selected is sda. Choose the proper disk name in your current situation, e.g. sdb, sdc..). + +This line will read and (over)write zeroes (0x00) everywhere on the disk. + +To understand the line of code, note that 512 is the block size and that without -b BLOCKSIZE, the process would simply go slower. +0x00 represents the zero byte. + + + +This will take some time, but it should reset the disk and hopefully fix any issues. + +Note: it takes the 3Node server around 1 percentage per minute for a 2TB SSD disk to accomplish the badblock operation. + + + +### Before doing a bootstrap image, I need to format my USB key. How can I format my USB key? + +*Note that BalenaEtcher will format and burn your bootstrap image in the same process. See next Q+A for more details. + +Windows: This is done easily with diskpart. Here's all the coding needed (with disk X as an example, make sure you choose the correct disk): run Command Prompt as an administrator (right-click option), write *diskpart*, then in diskpart write *list disk*, choose your disk and write *select disk X*, write *clean*, write *create partition primary*, write *format fs=fat32*, then write *assign*. If for any reason, the process doesn't work, quit diskpart and redo the whole thing. This should fix any bug. Cautious with diskpart, it's destructive. + +MAC: This is done easily with Disk Utility. Go in Disk Utility. Select your USB key, click on *erase* on the top, write a name for your USB key, then choose a format (MS-DOS (FAT) if USB key < 32GB, exFAT if USB key > 32GB), then click *erase*, then click *done*. + +LINUX: In the Terminal, write *df*, find your disk (here we use sdX), write *sudo umount /dev/sdX*, write this line (with the proper FORMAT) *sudo mkfs.FORMAT /dev/sdX* [FORMAT= vfat for FAT32, ntfs for NTFS, exfat for exFAT], then finally verify the formatting by writing *sudo fsck /dev/sdX*. + +### What do you use to burn (or to load) the Zero-OS bootstrap image onto a USB stick? + +For MAC, Linux and Windows, you can use [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to load/flash the image on a USB stick. This program also formats the USB in the process. Rufus can also be used for Windows. + +Also, got Linux systems, you can transfer the dowloaded image with the dd command: *dd if=created_boot_loader_file.img of=/dev/sd?* where the input file is the downloaded file from http:/bootloader.grid.tf and the output file (device) is the USB stick device. + + +### Should I do a UEFI image or a BIOS image to bootstrap Zero-OS? + +It depends on your 3Node's system. Newer computers and servers will accept UEFI. If it does not work with UEFI, please try with the options ISO (BIOS CD/DVD) or USB (BIOS image) on the [ThreeFold bootstrap website](https://bootstrap.grid.tf). Read the next Q+A for more information on BIOS/UEFI. + + + +### How do I set the BIOS or UEFI of my 3Node? + +You can read this [documentation](../farmers/3node_building/5_set_bios_uefi.md) to learn more about BIOS and UEFI settings for a DIY 3Node. + + + +### For my 3Node server, do I need to enable virtualization in BIOS or UEFI? + +Yes, you should enable virtualization. On Intel, it is denoted as *CPU virtualization* and on ASUS, it is denoted as *SVM*. Make sure virtualization is enabled and look for the precise terms in your specific BIOS/UEFI. + + + +### How can I boot a 3Node server with a Zero-OS bootstrap image? + +Plug the USB key containing the Zero-OS bootstrap image with your farm ID then power on your 3Node. If the BIOS/UEFI is set correctly and the disks are all wiped, it should boot correctly the first time. If you have any problem booting your 3Node, read the section [Troubleshooting and Error Messages](#troubleshooting-and-error-messages) of the FAQ. + + + +### The first time I booted my 3Node server, it says that the node is not registered yet. What can I do? + +The first time you boot a 3Node, it will be written: “This node is not registered (farmer *: NameOfFarm). This is normal. The Grid will create a node ID and you will be able to see it on screen. This can take a couple of minutes. + +If after some time (couple hours), the 3Node doesn't get registered, there might be something off with the Grid connection. You can then try to reboot the 3Node, or wait and boot it later. If it persists, you can check the rest of the Troubleshooting section of the Farmer FAQ, or ask around the ThreeFold Telegram Farmer chat or the ThreeFold chat for help. + + + +### The first time I boot my 3Node, the node gets registered but it says cache disk : no ssd. What can I do? + +This probably means that you either haven't connected a SSD or that you need to wipe your SSD disk(s). Zero-OS runs on bare metal and needs a minimum of one SSD disk (min 500GB & 50 GB per CU). You will see "cache disk : OK" when it works. + + + +### The first time I boot my 3 node, the node gets registered and it says cache disk : OK, but the table System Used Capacity is empty. What can I do? + +Most of the time, just wait and data will appear. If you want to be sure your 3Node is online on the Grid, you can check the [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), which fetch information every 2 hours. If it persist, first try to simply reboot your 3Node. + + + +### I have a relatively old server (e.g. Dell R710 or R620, Z840). I have trouble booting Zero-OS. What could I do? + +Sometimes, Zero-OS will not boot in UEFI mode on older servers. In that case, try to boot in BIOS mode. Use either a USB key or the CD/DVD optical drive (the 4th and 5th option on https://bootstrap.grid.tf/) and make sure to select BIOS and not UEFI mode in your server settings. + + +### I connected a SATA SSD to a CD-DVD optical drive adaptor. My system does not recognize the disk. What can I do? + +Try to set AHCI mode instead of Legacy mode in SATA settings in the BIOS. + + +### Can someone explain what should I put in the Public IP part of my farm? Should I just insert my Public IP and Gateway (given by my ISP)? + +Assuming you are a DIY farmer and operate from your home, this field can be left blank. You do not have to fill in any details. + +The add IP option is for farmers that have a block of IP addresses routed to their router (in data centers mostly) and want to present “dedicated IP” addresses for deployments. For more information on how to set the public configuration, go to [this link](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__public_config). + + + + + +## Farming Optimization + +### What is the difference between a ThreeFold 3Node and a ThreeFold farm? What is the difference between the farm ID and the node ID? + +A farm is a composition of one or many 3Nodes. A 3Node is a computer connected to the ThreeFold Grid. Each farm has its farm ID and each 3Node has its node ID. + + + +### How can I know how many GB of SSD and RAM do I need? + +You need 50 GB of SSD per compute units (CU) and a minimum of 500 GB SSD and 2 GB of RAM per 3Node. + +A 3Node has, in general, 2 compute units (CU) per thread. Thus, for peak optimisation, you need 100 GB SSD and 8GB RAM per thread. + +### What is the optimal ratio of virtual cores (vcores or threads), SSD storage and RAM memory? What is the best optimization scenario for a 3Node, in terms of ThreeFold tokens (TFT) farming rewards? + +In short, for peak optimization, aim for 100 GB SSD of storage and 8GB RAM of memory per virtual core (vcore or thread). + +For example, a 32 threads (32 vcores) 3Nodes would need 3.2 TB SSD and 256GB RAM to be optimal, reward-wise. +That is: 32 * 100 = 3200 GB SSD = 3.2TB SSD, and 32 * 8 = 256 GB RAM total. + +Adding more GB of RAM would not increase your TFT rewards. You would need more vcores if you want to expand. + +NB: This is purely based on reward considerations. Some users might need different ratios for different specific uses of the Grid. + + + +### What does TBW mean? What is a good TBW level for a SSD disk? + +TBW means Terabytes Written. TBW directly measures how much you can write cumulatively into the drive over its lifetime. For your 3Node, it can be a good idea to prioritize a minimum ratio of 500 TBW per 1TB for SSD. + +*Note that TBW is not a technical specification, but a general claim from the manufacturer. For this reason, it can also be good to check the warranty of the disk. For example, if a manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty to its product, it indicates that the company thinks its product will last a long time. + + +### Are SATA and SAS drives interchangeable? + +This goes only one way. You can put a SATA drive in a SAS slot, but you can’t put a SAS drive in a SATA slot. See the [next question](#what-is-the-speed-difference-between-sas-and-sata-disks) for more information. + + +### What is the speed difference between SAS and SATA disks? + +One of the big differences between SATA and SAS is the transfer speed. Using SATA disks with SAS cables, you will be limited by the SATA transfer speed. + +* Sata I : 150 MB/s +* Sata II : 300 MB/s +* Sata III : 600 MB/s +* SAS : 600-1500 MB/s + +Note: You will most probably need to re-flash the raid card if you use the front panel disks (onboard storage) of your server. + + + + +### Is it possible to do a graceful shutdown to a 3Node server? How can you shutdown or power off a 3Node server? + +There are no "graceful" shutdowns of 3Nodes. You can shutdown a 3Node from the software side. You need to shut it down manually directly on the hardware. 3Nodes are self-healing and if they suddenly power down, no data or information will be lost. + + + + +### Is it possible to have direct access to Zero-OS's core to force a reboot? + +No, this is not possible. The general philosophy with Zero-OS is: no shell, no GUI, and no remote control. In other words, anything that could potentially provide attack surface is off the table. This ensures a high security level to Zero-OS and the ThreeFold Grid in general. To reboot a 3Node, you have to do it manually. + + + +### Do I need some port forwarding in my router for each 3Node server? + +No, this is not needed. + + +### Are there ways to reduce 3Node servers' noises? + +To reduce the noise, you can remove all the unnecessary cards in the servers as well as the HDD disks if you don't use them. Unplugging the SAS cables can also help. You can also set the fans to adjust their speed instead of being constant. + +At the end of the day, servers were manufactured for durability and efficiency, and not for being quiet. Most servers are placed in server rooms where noise doesn't matter much. + + + +### I built a 3Node out of old hardware. Is it possible that my BIOS or UEFI has improper time and date set as factory default? + +Yes. Make sure you have the correct time and date in BIOS to avoid errors when trying to boot Zero-OS. It might not cause any problems, but sometimes it does. + + + +### I have rack servers in my ThreeFold farm. Can I set rack servers vertically? + +In general, it is not recommended to set rack servers vertically as they were designed to be laid flat in racks. That being said, if you want to set your rack vertically, here are some general rules to follow. Do so at your own risk. + +First, make sure the parts in the servers are well installed and that they will not fall if laid vertically. Second, and foremost, you want to make sure that there will not be any overheating. This means to make sure you don't block the front and rear of the unit, so heat can dissipate thought the vents. + +If you want to put the rack vertically with the longest side of the rack laying upward, having the power supply units (PSUs) on the very top will ensure that heat dissipate well. + + + + +## Farming and Maintenance + +### How can I check if there is utilization on my 3Nodes? + +To see if there is utilization on your 3Node, you can consult the [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/), go to the Farm section and consult the information under your 3Nodes. Note that the quickest way is to check if there are CPUs reserved. + + + +### Do I need the Zero-OS bootstrap image drive (USB or CD-DVD) when I reboot, or can I boot Zero-OS from the 3Node main hard drive? + +It is advised to keep the bootstrap image plugged in your 3Node. Once your node has been booted with Zero-OS via the USB key, you can remove the USB key, but if something happens and the node needs to reconnect with the network, it won’t be able to do so. We advise people to let the USB key always in so the node can reconnect with the network if needed. + +You need the bootstrap image device plugged in every time you reboot a 3Node and it's a good practice to keep it plugged in all the time. The technical explanation is: (1) at first boot, it creates a minimum requirement on SSD which is used as cache (2) each time the system restarts it reuses this SSD piece but Zero-OS bootstrap is also needed to download the last image. Indeed, image is not stored on the machine and also no boot loader is installed. + + +### It's written that my node is using 100% of HRU. What does it mean? + +HRU stands for your HDD space available. It means that you are using 100% of the HDD space available, or equivalently that you have no HDD on your system. + + +### On the ThreeFold Node Finder, I only see half of the virtual cores or threads my 3Node has, what can I do? + +Check in the BIOS settings and make sure you have enabled Virtual Cores (or Hyper Threading/Logical Cores). + + + +### Why are the 3Nodes' resources different on the ThreeFold Node Finder and the ThreeFold Dashboard? + +There is a difference because one shows the resources in GiB and the other in GB. It's just a way to display information, the resources are ultimately the same, but shown differently. 1 GiB = 1.073741824 GB. + + + +### How can I test the health of my disks? + +There are many ways to test the health of your disks. For some information on this, you can have a look at this [TF forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/testing-ssd-health/3436). + + + +### How can I transfer my 3Node from one farm to another? + +To transfer your 3Node from one farm to another, simply make a new bootstrap image of the new farm, connect the new bootstrap image to the 3Node and restart the node. + +Note that you can use [balenaEtcher](https://etcher.balena.io/) to format and burn the bootstrap image at the same time. + + + +### What do CRU, MRU, HRU and SRU mean on the ThreeFold Node Finder? + +CRU means the number of virtual cores. MRU means the GB of ram (memory). HRU means the HDD capacity storage and SRU means the SSD capacity storage. + + + +### I have more than one ThreeFold 3Node farm, but I want all my 3Nodes on only one farm. How can I put all my 3Nodes on one farm? How can I change the farm ID of my 3Node? + +If you have more than one 3Node associated with more than one farm, it is possible to put all the 3Nodes under only one farm. +The following shows how to change the farm ID of your 3Node. + +For each 3Node, you need to create a new USB key Zero-OS boostrap image associated with the chosen farm ID. This will ensure your 3Node links to the chosen farm. +To create a new USB key Zero-OS bootstrap image, you can download the bootstrap image [here](https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf/) or you can clone an existing USB key bootstrap image associated with the chosen farm ID. In both case, you can use a software like [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/). +Once you have the new USB key bootstrap image, plug it into the 3Node and reboot the server. +After reboot, the 3Node will have the same node ID as before, but it will now be associated with the chosen farm ID. + +Note: If you want a new node ID for your 3Node, you will need to wipe the main SSD of your 3Node. + + + +### How can I know if my 3Node is online on the Grid? + +There are multiple answers to this. + +(1) You can plug a monitor to your 3Node and check directly its status. + +(2) You can check your 3Node status by using the Node Finder of the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/). + +(3) You can also use the unofficial, but highly useful [ThreeFold Node Status Bot](https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot) on Telegram. + + + +### I booted my 3Node and the monitor says it's online and connected to the Grid. But the ThreeFold Node Finder says it is offline? What can I do? + +The Node Finder refetches information every 2 hours. You can wait 2 hours and see if the problem persists. Then/or, you could reboot the 3Node and see if the Node Finder sees it as online. + + + +### My 3Node does show on the ThreeFold Node Finder, but not on the ThreeFold Dashboard, what can I do? + +If you're 3Node is correctly registered on the ThreeFold Grid but you cannot see it on the ThreeFold Dashboard, there can be many different ways to solve this issue. + +One way to fix this is to go in the TF Dashboard, select *change the address* and then simply re-paste the same address, then the extension will ask you to resign. Usually this fixes the issue. + +If the first method did not work, you can try to remove the account and add it back up on the Polkadot.js extension. Before doing so, make sure you have a back up of your seed phrase as you will need it to re-enter the account. Your 3Node should then appear. + + +### If I upgrade my 3Node, will it increase my rewards? + +Yes. Use the simulator to verify the additional rewards. But note that, currently, upgrades are not recognized until the next minting cycle. + + +### I booted my 3Node for the first time at the beginning of the month, then I did some upgrade or downgrade, will the ThreeFold Grid recognize the new hardware? Will it still be the same 3Node ID? + +Downgrades are counted in the current minting cycle. So you mint for the entire cycle at the downgraded specs. + +Minting only considers a single configuration per node per cycle, and that is the minimum configuration seen at any point during the cycle. With this logic in mind, upgrades will only be recognized at the next minting cycle. Note that your 3Node will have a new ID and new price entry if you changed the SSD containing the 3Node ID. + + + + + + +### Is it possible to ask the 3Node to refetch the node information on the monitor? + +To refetch information, press " q " on the keyboard. + + + +### When does Zero-OS detect the capacity of a 3Node? + +Zero-OS only detects capacity right after it boots. + + + + +### Where is the 3Node ID stored? + +For the current Zero-OS version, the node ID is stored in the first SSD you install on your 3Node*. If you change or erase this disk, this disk will lose its current 3Node ID. + +*Note that if, at the first boot, you put a SSD SATA and a SSD NVME at the same time, the node ID will be registered on the SSD SATA. + + + + +### Is there a way to backup my node ID in order to restore a 3Node if the disk with the node ID gets corrupted or breaks down? + +Yes, you can do a backup, but as of now this process must be done manually. + +One way is to boot a Linux USB image in *Try* mode, open up the *File* folder of your disk that contains the node ID. Click on *+ Other Locations.* Then, open the folder that contains the folder *zos-cache* and open the folder *identityd.* In this folder, select the file *seed.txt* and make a copy of it in a safe place (USB key, notebook, e-mail, etc.). If the disk which contains your node ID is damaged, simply reboot the 3Node with a new disk and the Zero-OS bootstrap image. Your 3Node will connect to the Grid and assign a new node ID. Once this is done, reboot the 3Node, but this time with the Linux USB image, go in the same folder as stated before and replace the new *seed.txt* file with the old file. Reboot your 3Node with the Zero-OS bootstrap and you're done. + + + +### If I upgrade my 3Node, does it change the node ID? + +Upgrades won't change the node ID, unless you replace the SSD where the node ID is stored (see above for more info on this). + + + + +### Does it make sense to recreate my node when the price drops? + +Short answer: no. Long answer: [click here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/does-it-make-sense-to-recreate-my-node-when-the-price-drops/). + + +### My 3Node lost power momentarily and I had to power it back on manually. Is there a better way to proceed? + +In your BIOS, go in *Security Settings* and choose *Last* for *AC Power Recovery*. If you want, set a delay between 60 and 240 seconds. This will ensure your 3Node does not power on and off frantically if your power flickers on and off, thus potentially damaging the unit. On other BIOS, it's *After Power Loss*, and you should choose *Previous State*. + +*Depending on your 3Node, the parameter might have a different name. + + +### Do I need to change the battery BIOS? + +It can be a good thing to change it when you buy an old desktop or server to make sure it lasts long. When the battery goes out of power, the 3Node won't have access to the BIOS settings if it loses power momentarily. + + + +### Do I need to enable UEFI Network Stack? + +You don't need to if you use a removable media (e.g. USB key) as a booting image. It is needed only if you boot from a PXE server on your network. You should keep this feature disabled. Enable it only if you know 100% what you are doing. Otherwise it might bring vulnerabilities in terms of network security. + + +### I want redundancy of power for my 3 nodes. I have two PSU on my Dell server. What can I do? + +Make sure you enable the Hot Spare feature. This feature is accessible in iDRAC Settings - Power Configuration. Other servers might have this function, with a different name and configuration. Check the server's manual for more details. + + + +### Why isn't there support for RAID? Does Zero-OS work with RAID? + +RAID is a technology that has brought resilience and security to the IT industry. But it has some limitations that we at ThreeFold did not want to get stuck in. We developed a different (and more efficient way to store data reliably. Please have a look [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/cloud/threefold__cloud_products?id=storage-quantum-safe-filesystem). + +This Quantum Safe Storage overcomes some of the shortfalls of RAID and is able to work over multiple nodes geographically spread on the TF Grid. + + +### Is there a way to bypass RAID in order for Zero-OS to have bare metals on the system? (No RAID controller in between storage and the Grid.) + +Yes it is possible. "You can use the on board storage on a server without RAID. You can [re-flash](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) the RAID card, turn on HBA/non-RAID mode, or install a different card. No need for RAID." @FLnelson It's usually easy to set servers such as a HP Proliant with the HBA mode. For Dell servers, you can either cross-flash the RAID controller with an “IT-mode-Firmware” (see this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5nb09VksYw)) or get a DELL H310-controller (which has the non-RAID option). Otherwise, you can install a NVME SSD with a PCIe adaptor, and turn off the RAID controller. + + + +### I have a 3Node rack server. Is it possible to use a M.2 to SATA adapter in order to put the M.2 SATA disk in the HDD bay (onboard storage)? + +Yes, it is possible. You will most probably need to bypass the RAID controller for Zero-OS to access properly the onboard storage. See previous question. + + + +### My 3Node uses only PCIe adapters and SSD NVME disks. Do I need the RAID controller on? + +The onboard RAID controller is not linked to your PCIe SSDs. In this case, you can switch the RAID controller off. + + + +### Can I change the name of my farm on polkadot.js? + +It’s possible to rename farms through the Polkadot UI. For mainnet, use [this link](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/extrinsics). + +1. Under *using the selected account*, select the account that owns the farm +2. Choose *tfgridModule* from the dropdown menu *submit the following extrinsic*, +3. Select *updateFarm(id, name, pricingPolicyId)* +4. Under *name: Bytes*, write the new farm name +5. Finally, click on the bottom *Submit Transaction* at the bottom right of the screen + + + +### How can I delete a farm on polkadot.js? + +The ability to delete a farm was removed from TF Chain due to concerns that nodes could be left without a farm and thus cause problems with billing. + + + +### I try to delete a node on the TF Dashboard, but it doesn’t work. Is there any other way to proceed that could work? + +It’s possible to delete nodes through the Polkadot UI. For mainnet, use [this link](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Ftfchain.grid.tf#/extrinsics). + +1. Under *using the selected account*, select the account that owns the farm, +2. Choose *tfgridModule* from the dropdown menu *submit the following extrinsic* +3. Select *deleteNodeFarm(nodeId)* +4. Under *id: u32*, write the ID of the 3Node you want to delete +5. Finally, click on the bottom *Submit Transaction* at the bottom right of the screen + + + +### My 3Node has 2 ethernet ports in the back, with one written AMT above, what does it mean? Can I use this port to connect my 3Node to the ThreeFold Grid? + +First, let's define the term AMT. It means: Active Management Technology. Without going into too much details, it is to remotely access servers via the network at the BIOS level. Thus, you should plug the ethernet cable in the port next to AMT, and not into the AMT port. You can explore AMT properties if you want remote access to your server. + + + +### My 3Node is based on a the hardware Z600, Z620 or Z820, can I run it headless or without a GPU? + +For the Z600, there is a great [video on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JgBYbaT-N-w). + +For the Z620 and the Z820, you need to do some variation on the video above. In the BIOS, go in File, then Replicated Setup, and select Save to Removable Storage Device. This will save a text file on your USB key. Then, in the text file, go to Headless Mode and remove the * in front of Disable and put it in front of Enable. Save the file and then go back into BIOS. Now go in File, then Replicated Setup, and select Restore from Removable Storage Device. + +Running your 3Node without the GPU can save some power consumption as well as giving you one more extra slot for other hardware. + + +### Is it possible to add high-level GPU on rack servers to farm more TFT? + +Some farmers had success installing GPUs such as the RTX3080 in servers as small as 2U (such as R730). Connections such as 250W 8-pin plug are needed on each riser. Generally, tower servers have more space to add high-level GPU. + +Note: GPU farming will be implemented in the future. + + + +### If I change farm, will my node IDs change on my 3Node servers? + +You can move 3Nodes between farms without losing the node IDs. You simply need to change the boot media with the new farm ID and then reboot the 3Node. The 3Node will have the same node ID but it will now be associated with the new farm ID. + + +## Troubleshooting and Error Messages + +### Is it possible to access the Error Screen or Log Screen? + +Yes! On the Zero-OS console, hit alt-F2 to open up the Error/Log Screen, and hit alt-F3 to go back to the main screen. + + +### What does it mean when I see, during the 3Node boot, the message: error = context deadline exceeded? + +In general, this message means that the ThreeFold Grid asked something to your 3Node, and your 3Node could not respond fast enough. It is usually necessary to read the following error message to understand the situation more specifically. + + +### I try to boot a 3Node, but I get the error: "No Route to Host on Linux". What does it mean? + +There are many potential answers to this. Perhaps the Host is offline, the service isn't running. This is usually the reason with TF Grid. It means the Grid is not responsive. In this case, try to boot the 3Node later. If it persists ask TF Support. + +There can also be other reasons. You might have connected to the wrong port. Perhaps you have configured iptables to block connections on that port. Your DNS might be improperly configured. You might have an Incorrect Network or Host Configuration. Many troubleshoots are possible. Here's a [good place to start](https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-no-route-to-host-error-linux/). + + + +### How can I fix the error: "Network configuration succeed but Zero-OS kernel could not be downloaded" when booting a 3Node? + +To fix the error "Network configuration succeed but Zero-OS kernel could not be downloaded", you can try to restart the router and reboot the 3Node. This usually fixes the issue. If this doesn't work, check if the router is still functional. The cause of this issue might be that your router is broken. + + + +### Using SAS disks, I get the error; "No ssd found, failed to register". What can I do to fix this? + +First make sure to wipe the disks and then boot your 3Node. If you've wiped the disks and it doesn't work, it's been reported that using the command "diskpart clean command" on Windows can fix this issue. + + + +### When booting a 3Node, how to fix the error: "no disks: registration failed"? + +There can be many different fixes for this error. Here are some troubleshooting tips to test separately: + +* In BIOS, enable AHCI +* Make sure to [wipe the disks](../farmers/3node_building/4_wipe_all_disks.md) of the 3Nodes +* If the 3Node has a RAID Controller: + * Disabled the RAID controller, OR; + * [Flash the RAID controller](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) (i.e. crossflashing), OR; + * Change the controller to a Dell H310 controller (for Dell servers) +* Try the command **badblocks** (replace **sda** with your specific disk). Note that this command will delete all the data on the disk + * ``` + sudo badblocks -svw -b 512 -t 0x00 /dev/sda + ``` + + +### My SSD is sometimes detected as HDD by Zero-OS when there is a reboot. Is there a fix or a way to test the SSD disk? + +If your SSD disk shows as HDD, usually you can reboot the 3Node and Z-OS adjusts correctly. + +Anyone experiencing frequently this issue where Z-OS sometimes detects an SSD as HDD can try the following: + +* Boot up a live Ubuntu Desktop image +* Run the benchmark utility within the Disks app +* Check if the seektime of the disk is sufficient for Z-OS + * If the seektime is above 0.5ms, Z-OS will consider your SSD as HDD + +**Detailed Steps:** + +* Boot a Ubuntu Linux live USB +* Install **gnome-disks** if it isn't already installed: + * ``` + sudo apt install gnome-disks + ``` +* Open the application launcher and search for **Disks** +* Select your disk +* Click on the tree dots menu +* Select **Benchmark Disk...** + * Use the default parameters + * **Transfer rate**: This is not relevant for our current test + * You can set to it to minimum (e.g. 2) + * **Sample size**: 10 MB is sufficient +* Check the average access time on the [ThreeFold repository](https://www.github.com/threefoldtech/seektime) + * Check seek time for HDD and SSD + * A SSD needs to be <=0.5ms +* If the result is above 0.5ms, this is why Z-OS doesn't recognize the disk properly + * You can then run diagnostics (e.g. smartmontools) + * If this is not fixable, you should change disk (e.g. take a more performing disk) + +Note: The green dots on the output represent seektime and that's what Z-OS is looking at. Specifically, it checks that the average seektime is below 0.5ms. If the seektime is above this, Z-OS will consider your SSD as HDD. + + + +### When booting a 3Node, I get the message: failed to register node: failed to create node: failed to submit extrinsic: Invalid Transaction: registration failed. What could fix this? + +The most probable fix to this error is simply to properly wipe your disk(s): + +* [Wipe your disks on Linux](#what-can-you-do-to-zero-out-your-disks-how-can-i-wipe-the-disks-of-my-3node-server-with-linux) + +* [Wipe your disks on Windows](#how-can-i-wipe-a-disk-with-windows) + + +### I try to boot a 3Node, but I get the message no route with default gateway found. What does it mean? + +First, let's see the main terms. Default gateway act as an access point to other networks, in this case the TF Grid, when there is a back and forth exchange of data packets. + +While the last question implied a communication problem from the Grid, this error message usually means that the 3Node has communication problem. In short, it has difficulty reaching the TF Grid. There are many ways to troubleshoot this error. First, let's give the most direct solution. Make sure you have a direct connection with your Internet Service Provider (ISP): your 3Node should be connected to a router or a switch via an ethernet cable. Wifi doesn't work. Make sure your DHCP is set correctly. + +If the problem persists, check the default gateway of your 3Node and then make sure your router can reach it. + +*See next Q+A for more a possible solution. + + + +### I have trouble connecting the 3Node to the Grid with a 10GB NIC card. What can I do? + +As of now, Zero-OS sometimes has trouble with 10GB NIC card. The easiest solution to this is to connect your 3Node with the 1GB NIC card. This should solve the issue. More fine tuning might be needed to get your 3Node to work with a 10GB NIC card. Future Zero-OS version might solve this issue. + + + +### I switch the ethernet cable to a different port when my 3Node was running. Internet connection is lost. What can I do? + +When your 3Node boots, Zero-OS marks the NIC port. This means you cannot change NIC port when your 3Node is running. You can either put back the ethernet cable in the initial NIC port, or reboot the 3Node. At boot, Zero-OS will marks the new NIC port as the main entry. + + + +### I get the error Certificate is not yet valid when booting my 3Node server, what can I do? + +Make sure your firmware is up to date. If necessary, reinstall it. You might have to install then re-install the firmware if your system is very old. + + + +### When running wipefs to wipe my disks on Linux, I get either of the following errors: "syntax error near unexpected token" or "Probing Initialized Failed". Is there a fix? + +Many different reasons can cause this issue. When you get that error, sometimes it is because your are trying to wipe your boot USB by accident. If this is not the case, and you really are trying to wipe the correct disk, here are some fixes to try out, with the disk `sda` as an example: + +* Fix 1: + * Force the wiping of the disk: + * ``` + sudo wipefs -af /dev/sda + ``` +* Fix 2: + * Unmount the disk then wipe it: + * ``` + sudo umount /dev/sda + ``` + * ``` + sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda + ``` + + + +### I did a format on my SSD disk, but Zero-OS still does not recognize them. What's wrong? + +Formatting is one thing, but to boot properly, Zero-OS needs to work on a completely wipe disk. Thus, make sure you [wipe your disks](#what-can-you-do-to-zero-out-your-disks-how-can-i-wipe-the-disks-with-linux). Formatting is not enough. + + + +### I have a Dell Rx10 server (R610, 710, 910). When I boot Zero-OS I get the message Probing EDD and the 3Node doesn't boot from there. What can I do? + +For the R610 and 710, you can simply re-flash the card. See [this link](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) for more information. For the 910, you can’t re-flash the card. In this case, get a LSI Dell card and it should work. (They are cheap when you buy them used online.) + + +### My 3Node doesn't boot properly without a monitor plugged in. What can I do? + +First, try to disable the "Halt On" mode in BIOS. If you do not have this option, try simply enabling the Legacy Support (Dell BIOS for example). If this doesn't work, try to plug in a Dummy Plug/Headless Ghost/Display Emulator in your 3Node. This will simulate a plugged monitor. This should fix the problem. + + +### My 3Node is running on the Grid, but when I plugged in the monitor, it states: Disabling IR #16. Is there a problem? + +In general, you can simply ignore this error statement. This error is linked to the Nvidia binary driver. It simply means that your 3Node lost connection with the graphic card (by unplugging and replugging the monitor for example). + + +### My 3Node won't boot without disabling the Secure Boot option, is it safe? + +In the case where you want to boot Zero-OS, disabling Secure Boot option is safe. With Secure Boot disabled, it can be easier or even necessary when it comes to booting Zero-OS. Secure Boot is used when you want to lock the BIOS/UEFI settings. + + + +### When I tried to boot my 3Node, at some point the screen went black, with or without a blinking hyphen or dash. What could cause this and what could I do to resolve the issue? + +There is a possibility that this happens because you are booting your 3Node on a HDD. A 3Node needs a minimum of 500GB of SSD to work properly. + +Also, make sure that you are using the correct boot option (Legacy BIOS or UEFI) in the Settings and that it corresponds to the correct booting image on the ThreeFold Bootstrap page. + +This problem often arises when you plugged your disks in the wrong controller. For example, try unpluging the disks from the SAS controller, and plug them in the SATA controller. Also, disable the SAS controller if needed. + +In a Legacy BIOS boot, make sure Legacy is enabled and disable *Data Execution Prevention* if possible. + +Also, it might have to do with your RAID controller configuration. Make sure this is properly set. For example, configuring all the HDD disks into one logical disk can fix this problem, or re-flashing the RAID card can also help. + + + +### My 3Nodes go offline after a modem reboot. Is there a way to prevent this? + +Yes, there are many ways to prevent this. An easy solution is to set the DHCP server to reserve local IPs for the 3Nodes MAC addresses. + +This problem is also preventable if your router stays online during the modem reboot. + +Indeed, rebooting the 3Nodes is necessary when there are local IP changes, as 3Nodes are addressed a local IP addresses when they are booted. + +The DHCP will addresses any local IP address that is available when you are booting a 3Node. Reserving local IP addresses is a good TF farming practice. + + + +### When I boot my 3Node, it reaches the Welcome to Zero-OS window, but it doesn't boot properly and there's an error message: failed to load object : type substrate..., what can I do? + +Usually simply rebooting the 3Node fixes this problem. + + + +### When I try to access iDRAC on a web browswer, even with protected mode off, I get the error The webpage cannot be found, what can I do? + +Open iDRAC in the Internet Explorer emulator extension (IE Tab) in Chrome, then update iDRAC. It should work elsewhere then. Sometimes, it will be needed to add "ST1=code" at the end of the IE Tab url. + + + +### When booting the 3Node, I get the error Network interface detected but autoconfiguration failed. What can I do? + +First make sure your network cable is plugged in and that your DHCP is working and responding. If you change the NIC port of the ethernet cable, make sure to reboot the 3Node so Zero-OS can change the NIC port attribution. + +Some farmers reported that this got fixed by simply powering off the 3Node(s), the router and modem for 2 minutes then powering it all back on. Resetting the modem and router (switch on the hardware) in the process can also help. + +If this doesn't work, try to upgrade the firmware of the NIC and the motherboard. If this still doesn't work, the NIC card might be broken. Try with another NIC card. + + + +### When I boot my Dell server, I get the message: All of the disks from your previous configuration are gone... Press any key to continue or 'C' to load the configuration utility. What can I do? + +Many changes to your server can lead to this message. + +Usually, the easiest solution is to reset the disk configuration in iDRAC's configuration utility. + +What can causes this message: + +1. During a new installation, the cables connecting to your external storage are not wired to the correct ports. +2. Your RAID adapter has failed. +3. Your SAS cables are not plugged properly or are malfunctioning. + +Note: Resetting the configuration will destroy all data on all virtual disks. Make sure you know what you are doing! In doubt, ask the TF community. + + + +### I have a Dell R620. In Zero-OS, I get the failure message No network card found and then the 3Node reebots after few seconds. The same happens for every LAN input. What can I do? + +The first thing to try here is to boot the server in BIOS mode instead of UEFI mode. If this doesn't fix the problem, try the following. + +Sometimes, this happens when the firmwares of BIOS, iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller and NIC are incompatible to each other. The solution is then to update them all correctly. Some problems can arise in the process. + +First, you should try to do the updates using iDRAC as you can update both iDRAC and BIOS there. If this does not work, try to update separate, with a live-linux distro, the BIOS, iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller. Once this is done, the server should be able to do a liveupdate, https to dell support website, via lifecycle-controller. This would update the other components. For more details on this method, watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISA7j2BKgjI). + +Note: Some farmers have reported that the Broadcom NIC card does not work well for Zero-OS and that a standard Intel PCI NIC card replacement resolved the issue. This could be a more straightforward method if updating the firmwares doesn't resolve the issue. + + + +### I am using freeDos to crossflash my raid controller on a Dell server, but I can't see the RAID controller with the Command Info. What can I do? + +Turn on the raid controller in the BIOS, otherwise freeDos does not show you the raid controller with the command Info. + + + +### Can I use a VGA to HDMI adaptor to connect a TV screen or monitor to the 3Node? I tried to boot a 3Node with a VGA to HDMI adaptor but the boot fails, what can I do? + +This might work, but it has been reported by farmers that Zero-OS might have difficulties booting when this is done with a VGA/HDMI adaptor on a TV screen. This is most likely due to the TV screen not supporting the output once the system loaded into Zero-OS. The easy fix to this issue is to use a standard computer monitor with a VGA plug. + + + +### When I try to boot my 3Node, the fans start spinning fast with a loud noise and the screen is black. What can I do to resolve this? + +There may be several causes to this issue. You can try to remove all the RAM sticks, to clean the dust and then to reseat the RAM sticks. If it still doesn't resolve the issue, you can check the RAM sticks one by one to see if one is malfunctioning. This often resolves the issue. Also, some cables might not be properly connected. + + + +### When booting Zero-OS with IPV6 configurations, I get the errors (1) dial tcp: address IPV6-address too many columns in address and (2) no pools matches key: not routable. What can I do to fix this issue? + +This usually means that the IPV6 attributed is not valid. It is also often caused when the DNS configuration does not resolve IPV6 correctly. + +To fix this issue, it is often necessary to adjust the IPV6 settings related to the router and the modem. Confirming with your Internet service provider (ISP) that the IPV6 settings are properly configured could also be necessary to fix the issue. + + + + +### When booting a 3Node, Zero-OS downloads fine, but then I get the message: error no route with default gateway found, and the message: info check if interface has a cable plugged in. What could fix this? + +Make sure you have network stack enabled in BIOS. If so, check you ethernet port and make sure that it's clean. Also make sure the ethernet rj45 connectors are clean on both ends. If that does not work, verify the state of your SATA cables. If all this doesn't work, download and re-install Zero-OS. + + + +### How can I update Dell and HP servers to Intel E5-2600v2, E5-2400v2 and E5-4600v2, when applicable? + +There are many ressources online with steps on how to do this. You can check this [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzrULLtonM) on Dell and HP servers, as welll as this [documentation](https://ixnfo.com/en/hp-proliant-gen8-update-to-support-cpu-e5-2600v2-e5-2400v2-e5-4600v2.html) for HP Proliant Gen8. + + + +### How can I update the firmware and driver of a Dell PowerEdge server? + +Dell has excellen documentation for this. Read [this](https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000128194/updating-firmware-and-drivers-on-dell-emc-poweredge-servers) for the detailed steps. + + + +### When I boot a 3Node in UEFI mode, it gets stuck at: Initializing Network Device, is there a way to fix this? + +In short, booting the 3Node in BIOS mode instead of UEFI mode usually fixes this issue. + +You can make bootable USB with the USB option of the [Zero-OS bootstrap image page](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/). Make sure to boot your server using BIOS and not UEFI. In the boot sequence, make the USB as your first choice to boot. + + + +### When I boot my 3Node, it gets stuck during the Zero-OS download. It never reaches 100%. What can I do to fix this issue? + +Here are some ways to troubleshoot your 3Node when it cannot download Zero-OS completely (to 100%): + +* Sometimes, just rebooting the 3Node and/or trying a little bit later can work. +* It can help to reboot the modem and the router. +* Make sure your BIOS/UEFI is up to date. Updating the BIOS/UEFI can help. +* It can also help to set the correct date and time. + + + +### When booting a 3Node, I get the error=“context deadline exceeded” module=network error=failed to initialize rmb api failed to initialized admin mw: failed to get farm: farm not found: object not found. What can I do to fix this issue? + +Usually, the simple fix to this issue is to make sure that your bootstrap image is on the same network as your farm. For example, if you created your farm on the Main net, you should use a Main net Zero-OS bootstrap image. + + + +## ThreeFold Grid and Data + + +### How is the farming minting reward calculated? Is the Grid always monitoring my 3Node? + +The Grid uses an algorithm that does not continually monitor the 3Node. It does its best to determine uptime through occasional checking in, which we call ping. The 3Node sends a ping to the Grid and the Grid sends a ping to the 3Node to confirm the reception. (Ping-Pong!) + +It’s helpful to understand that the Grid is really just 3Nodes and TF Chain (which itself is a collection of nodes). Nodes report their uptime by writing an entry on TF Chain, about once every two hours. These reports are used for minting. + + + +### How does communication happen on the ThreeFold Grid at the 3Node's level? + +There are two ways to get information about nodes. Once is to query TF Chain, and the other is to communicate with nodes directly. + + + +### What is the ThreeFold Node Status bot Telegram link? + +The link is the following: https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot. + + + +### How does the ThreeFold Node Status bot work? How can I use the ThreeFold Node Status bot to verify if my 3Node is online? + +1. Click on this link: https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot + +2. To subscribe a node, write the command */subscribe nodeID*. With the ID 100 as example, write: */subscribe 100* + +3. To verify the status of all your 3Nodes, write: */status* + +4. To verify the status of all your 3Nodes through Yggdrasil, write: */ping* + +Note: The bot should send you alerts when it considers any registered node to be offline. + + + +### How does the Telegram Status Bot get information from my 3Node? My 3Node is online on the ThreeFold Node Finder, but offline on the Telegram Status Bot, is this normal? + +The status bot communicates directly by sending pings to the nodes over Yggdrasil every five minutes. Therefore, it will report on temporary network interruptions that might not affect your total uptime calculation as used for minting. + + + +### I noticed that when I reboot my 3Node, the uptime counter on the ThreeFold Node Finder goes back to zero. Does it mean I lose uptime and the uptime start over again when I reboot the 3Node? + +No. The only uptime you lose is the time your 3Node was offline from the ThreeFold Grid. This ThreeFold Grid still has the data of your total uptime of the month. The Node Finder only shows this statistics as: "*This node has been up non-stop without being rebooted for now* [insert time]". If you maintain a total uptime above the minimum uptime, you're fine. + +*For now the farming rewards are proportional to the total uptime. + + +### One of my nodes is showing the wrong location. Any problem with that? +The ThreeFold Node Finder is showing your ISP location. This is perfectly normal. + + +## Memory + +### Can I use different type of RAM for the same 3Node? + +No. Always use the same type of RAM per 3Node. If you use RDIMM, go all RDIMM, etc. Check your hardware specifications to make sure you have the right type of memory. + + + +### How can I know if the memory I am buying is correct for my specific hardware? + +To be sure, look into the owner's manual of your specific computer. + +In general, you can go to [Memory.net](https://memory.net/) and look for your specific computer model. As general steps, select your computer's system in *By system*, then select the series and then select the specific model of the series. You will then see available memories to buy from memory.net. You can also simply read the documentation at the bottom. The memory type supported by your computer will be explained. Then you can buy the memory needed from any other computer store. + +For servers, you can check with Cloudninja's documentation [here](https://cloudninjas.com/pages/server-memory). Search for your specific hardware and look for the compatible memory. This reference is good for rack and tower servers. + + + +### What do the terms RDIMM, LDIMM, UDIMM, LRDIMM, FBDIMM mean when it comes to RAM memory sticks? + +Well first, the DIMM means dual inline memory module. + +* U stands for or unregistered (or unbuffered). + +* R stands for registered memory. + +* LR stands for load-reduced. + +* FB stands for fully-buffered. + + + +### What is the difference between ECC and non-ECC memory? + +ECC means error correction code memory. This type of memory can detect and correct data corruption. Non-ECC mostly cannot detect nor correct, but some can detect, but never correct data corruption. Check your hardware specifications to make sure you have the right type of memory (ECC or non-ECC). + + +### How can I change the RAM memory sticks on my 3Nodes? How can I achieve dual channel configuration with sticks of RAM? + +First, always use RAM sticks of the same size and type. It should be noted on your motherboard which slots to populate first. As a general guide, there is usually 2 slots A and B, with each 2 memory stick entries. You must then install the ram sticks on A1 and B1 in order to achieve dual channel, then A2 and B2 if you have more (visual order: A1 A2 B1 B2). + +> Example: You want to start with your largest sticks, evenly distributed between both processors and work your way down to your smallest. Let's take an example with 2 processors as well as 4x 16GB sticks and 4x 8GB sticks. The arrangement would be A1-16GB, B1-16GB, A2-16GB, B2-16GB, A3-8GB, B3-8GB, A4-8GB, B4-8GB. Avoid odd numbers as well. You optimally want pairs. So if you only have 5x 8GB sticks, only install 4 until you have an even 6. + + + +### What does RAM mean? + +RAM means random access memory. Those type of memory can be read and changed in any order. + + + + +### What does DIMM mean when it comes to RAM sticks? + +It means *dual in-line memory module*. This type of computer memory is natively 64 bits, enabling fast data transfer. + + + +### I have 24 DIMMS ram slots on my server. Can I use them all? + +Be careful when installing memory on a server. Always check your server's documentation to make sure your RAM sticks combination are correct. + +For example, on the Dell R720, you can have 24x16gb RAM ECC sticks, but it can only handle 16 Quad ranked DIMMs. In this case, you can fill up all slots with registered DIMMs if you have a maximum of 4 quad DIMMS ranked on each CPU. + +# Ask a Question to the ThreeFold Community + +If you have any question, you can ask the ThreeFold community via the ThreeFold forum or the ThreeFold Telegram channels: + +* [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) +* [ThreeFold General TG Channel](https://t.me/threefold) +* [ThreeFold Farmer TG Channel](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers) +* [TF Grid Tester TG Channel](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) + +> Note 1: If we wrote something wrong, tell us! + +> Note 2: This is a collective effort.

Next, we will burn the bootstrap image. + + + +## Burn the Zero-OS Bootstrap Image + +We show how to burn the Zero-OS bootstrap image. A quick and modern way is to burn the bootstrap image on a USB key. + +### CD/DVD BIOS + +For the BIOS **ISO** image, download the file and burn it on a DVD. + +### USB Key BIOS+UEFI + +There are many ways to burn the bootstrap image on a USB key. The easiest way that works for all operating systems is to use BalenaEtcher. We also provide other methods. + +#### BalenaEtcher (MAC, Linux, Windows) + +For **MAC**, **Linux** and **Windows**, you can use [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to load/flash the image on a USB stick. This program also formats the USB in the process. This will work for the option **EFI IMG** for UEFI boot, and with the option **USB** for BIOS boot. Simply follow the steps presented to you and make sure you select the bootstrap image file you downloaded previously. + +> Note: There are alternatives to BalenaEtcher (e.g. [usbimager](https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager/)). + +**General Steps with BalenaEtcher:** + +1. Download BalenaEtcher +2. Open BalenaEtcher +3. Select **Flash from file** +4. Find and select the bootstrap image (with your correct farm ID) +5. Select **Target** (your USB key) +6. Select **Flash** + +That's it. Now you have a bootstrap image on Zero-OS as a bootable removable media device. + + +#### CLI (Linux) + +For the BIOS **USB** and the UEFI **EFI IMG** images, you can do the following on Linux: + + sudo dd status=progress if=FILELOCATION.ISO(or .IMG) of=/dev/sd* + +Here the * is to indicate that you must adjust according to your disk. To see your disks, write lsblk in the command window. Make sure you select the proper disk! + +*If you USB key is not new, make sure that you format it before burning the Zero-OS image. + +#### Rufus (Windows) + +For Windows, if you are using the "dd" able image, instead of writing command line, you can use the free USB flashing program called [Rufus](https://sourceforge.net/projects/rufus.mirror/) and it will automatically do this without needing to use the command line. Rufus also formats the boot media in the process. + +## Additional Information (Optional) + +We cover some additional information.

In short, for peak optimization, aim for 100 GB of SSD and 8GB of RAM per thread. (Thread is equivalent to virtual core or logical core.) + +Also, TFDAO might implement a farming parameter based on [passmark](https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php). From the ongoing discussion on the Forum, you should aim at a CPU mark of 1000 and above per core. + +> 3Node optimal farming hardware ratio -> 100 GB of SSD + 8 GB of RAM per Virtual Core + +Note that you can run Zero-OS on a Virtual Machine (VM), but you won't farm any TFT from this process. To farm TFT, Zero-OS needs to be on bare metal. + +Also, note that ThreeFold runs its own OS, which is Zero-OS. You thus need to start with completely wiped disks. You cannot farm TFT with Windows, Linux or MAC OS installed on your disks. If you need to use such OS temporarily, boot it in Try mode with a removable media (USB key). + +Note: Once you have the necessary hardware, you need to [create a farm](./1_create_farm.md), [create a Zero-OS bootstrap image](./2_bootstrap_image.md), [wipe your disks](./4_wipe_all_disks.md) and [set the BIOS/UEFI](./5_set_bios_uefi.md) . Then you can [boot your 3Node](./6_boot_3node.md). If you are planning in building a farm in data center, [read this section](../advanced_networking/advanced_networking_toc.md). + + + +### 3Node Requirements Summary + + + +Any computer with the following specifications can be used as a DIY 3Node. + +- Any 64-bit hardware with an Intel or AMD processor chip. +- Servers, desktops and mini computers type hardware are compatible. +- A minimum of 500 GB of SSD and a bare minimum of 2 GB of RAM is required. +- A ratio of 100GB of SSD and 8GB of RAM per thread is recommended. +- A wired ethernet connection is highly recommended to maximize reliability and the ability to farm TFT. +- A [passmark](https://www.passmark.com/) of 1000 per core is recommended and will probably be a minimum requirement in the future. + +*A passmark of 1000 per core is recommend and will be a minimum requirement in the future. This is not yet an official requirement. A 3Node with less than 1000 passmark per core of CPU would not be penalized if it is registered before the DAO settles the [Passmark Question](https://forum.threefold.io/t/cpu-benchmarking-for-reward-calculations/2479). + + + +## Bandwidth Requirements + + + +A 3Node connects to the ThreeFold Grid and transfers information, whether it is in the form of compute, storage or network units (CU, SU, NU respectively). The more resources your 3Nodes offer to the Grid, the more bandwidth will be needed to transfer the additional information. In this section, we cover general guidelines to make sure you have enough bandwidth on the ThreeFold Grid when utilization will be happening. + +Note that the TFDAO will need to discuss and settle on clearer guidelines in the near future. For now, we propose those general guidelines. Being aware of these numbers as you build and scale your ThreeFold farm will set you in the proper direction. + +> **The strict minimum for one Titan is 1 mbps of bandwidth**. + +If you want to expand your ThreeFold farm, you should check the following to make sure your bandwidth will be sufficient when there will be Grid utilization. + +**Bandwidth per 3Node Equation** + +> min Bandwidth per 3Node (mbps) = 10 * max((Total SSD TB / 1 TB),(Total Threads / 8 Threads),(Total GB / 64 GB)) + 10 * (Total HDD TB / 2) + +This equation means that for each TB of HDD you need 5 mbps of bandwidth, and for each TB of SSD, 8 Threads and 64GB of RAM (whichever is higher), you need 10 mbps of bandwidth. + +This means a proper bandwidth for a Titan would be 10 mbps. As stated, 1 mbps is the strict minimum for one Titan. + + + +## Link to Share Farming Setup + + +If you want ideas and suggestions when it comes to building DIY 3Nodes, a good place to start is by checking what other farmers have built. [This post on the Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/t/lets-share-our-farming-setup/286) is a great start. The following section also contains great DIY 3Node ideas. + +## Powering the 3Node + +### Surge Protector + +A surge protector is highly recommended for your farm and your 3Nodes. This ensures your 3Nodes will not overcharge if a power surge happens. Whole-house surge protectors are also an option. + +### Power Distribution Unit (PDU) + +A PDU (power distribution unit) is useful in big server settings in order to manage your wattage and keep track of your power consumption. + + +### Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) + + +A UPS (uninterrupted power supply) is great for a 3Node if your power goes on and off frequently for short periods of time. This ensures your 3Node does not need to constantly reboot. If your electricity provider is very reliable, a UPS might not be needed, as the small downtime resulting from rare power outages with not exceed the DIY downtime limit*. (95% uptime, 5% downtime = 36 hours per month.) Of course, for greater Grid utilization experience, considering adding a UPS to your ThreeFold farm can be highly beneficial. + +Note: Make sure to have AC Recovery Power set properly so your 3Node goes back online if power shutdowns momentarily. UPS are generally used in data center to make sure people have enough time to do a "graceful" shutdown of the units when power goes off. In the case of 3Nodes, they do not need graceful shutdowns as Zero-OS cannot lose data while functioning. The only way to power down a 3Node is simply to turn it off directly on the machine. + + +### Generator + + +A generator will be needed for very large installation with or without an unsteady main power supply. + + + +## Connecting the 3Node to the Internet + +As a general consideration, to connect a 3Node to the Internet, you must use an Ethernet cable and set DHCP as a network management protocol. Note that WiFi is not supported with ThreeFold farming. + +The general route from the 3Node to the Internet is the following: + +> 3Node -> Switch (optional) -> Router -> Modem + +Note that most home routers come with a built-in switch to provide multiple Ethernet ports. Using a stand-alone switch is optional, but can come quite handy when farmers have many 3Nodes. + + + +### Z-OS and Switches + +Switches can be managed or unmanaged. Managed switches come with managed features made available to the user (typically more of such features on premium models). + +Z-OS can work with both types of switches. As long as there's a router reachable on the other end offering DHCP and a route to the public internet, it's not important what's in between. Generally speaking, switches are more like cables, just part of the pipes that connect devices in a network. + +We present a general overview of the two types of switches. + +**Unmanaged Switches** + +Unmanaged are the most common type and if someone just says "switch" this is probably what they mean. These switches just forward traffic along to its destination in a plug and play manner with no configuration. When a switch is connected to a router, you can think of the additional free ports on the switch as essentially just extra ports on the router. It's a way to expand the available ports and sometimes also avoid running multiple long cables. My nodes are far from my router, so I run a single long ethernet cable to a switch next to the nodes and then use multiple shorter cables to connect from the switch to the nodes. + +**Managed Switches** + +Managed switches have more capabilities than unmanaged switches and they are not very common in home settings (at least not as standalone units). Some of our farmers do use managed switches. These switches offer much more control and also require configuration. They can enable advanced features like virtual LANs to segment the network. + + + +## Using Onboard Storage (3Node Servers) + +If your 3Node is based on a server, you can either use PCIe slots and PCIe-NVME adapter to install SSD NVME disk, or you can use the onboard storage. + +Usually, servers use RAID technology for onboard storage. RAID is a technology that has brought resilience and security to the IT industry. But it has some limitations that ThreeFold did not want to get stuck with. ThreeFold developed a different and more efficient way to [store data reliably](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/cloud/threefold__cloud_products?id=storage-quantum-safe-filesystem). This Quantum Safe Storage overcomes some of the shortfalls of RAID and is able to work over multiple nodes geographically spread on the TF Grid. This means that there is no RAID controller in between data storage and the TF Grid. + +For your 3Nodes, you want to bypass RAID in order for Zero-OS to have bare metals on the system. + +To use onboard storage on a server without RAID, you can + +1. [Re-flash](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) the RAID card +2. Turn on HBA/non-RAID mode +3. Install a different card. + +For HP servers, you simply turn on the HBA mode (Host Bus Adapter). + +For Dell servers, you can either cross, or [re-flash](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html), the RAID controller with an “IT-mode-Firmware” (see this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5nb09VksYw)) or get a DELL H310-controller (which has the non-RAID option). Otherwise, you can install a NVME SSD with a PCIe adaptor, and turn off the RAID controller. + + + +Once the disks are wiped, you can shutdown your 3Node and remove the Linux Bootstrap Image (USB key). Usually, there will be a message telling you when to do so. + + + +## Upgrading a DIY 3Node + + + +As we've seen in the [List of Common DIY 3Nodes](#list-of-common-diy-3nodes), it is sometimes necessary, and often useful, to upgrade your hardware. + +**Type of upgrades possible** + +- Add TBs of SSD/HDD +- Add RAM +- Change CPU +- Change BIOS battery +- Change fans + +For some DIY 3Node, no upgrades are required and this constitutes a good start if you want to explore DIY building without going into too much additional steps. + +For in-depth videos on how to upgrade mini-pc and rack servers, watch these great [DIY videos](https://www.youtube.com/user/floridanelson). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/3node_building/3node_building.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/3node_building/3node_building.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8f26b69 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/3node_building/3node_building.md @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +

When it comes to setting the proper network for your 3Node farm, you must use DHCP since Z-OS is going to request an IP from the DHCP server if there's one present, and it won't get network connectivity if there's no DHCP. + +The Z-OS philosophy is to minimize configuration wherever possible, so there's nowhere to supply a static config when setting your 3Node network. Instead, the farmer is expected to provide DHCP. + +While it is possible to set fixed IP addresses with the DHCP for the 3Nodes, it is recommended to avoid this and just set the DHCP normally without fixed IP addresses. + +By setting DHCP in BIOS/UEFI, an IP address is automatically assigned by your router to your 3Node every time you boot it. + +### Regular Computer and 3Node Network Differences + +For a regular computer (not a 3Node), if you want to use a static IP in a network with DHCP, you'd first turn off DHCP and then set the static IP to an IP address outside the DHCP range. That being said, with Z-OS, there's no option to turn off DHCP and there's nowhere to set a static IP, besides public config and remote management. In brief, the farmer must provide DHCP, either on a private or a public range, for the 3Node to boot. + +### Static IP Addresses + +In the ThreeFold ecosystem, there are only two situations where you would work with static IP addresses: to set a public config to a 3Node or a farm, and to remotely manage your 3Nodes. + +**Static IP and Public Config** + +You can [set a static IP for the public config of a 3Node or a farm](./1_create_farm.md#optional-add-public-ip-addresses). In thise case, the 3Node takes information from TF Chain and uses it to set a static configuration on a NIC (or on a virtual NIC in the case of single NIC systems). + +**Static IP and Remote Management** + +You can [set a static IP address to remotely manage a 3Node](#setting-the-remote-management-of-a-server-static-ip-address). + + + +## The Essential Features of BIOS/UEFI for a 3Node + +There are certain things that you should make sure are set properly on your 3Node. + +As a general advice, you can Load Defaults (Settings) on your BIOS, then make sure the options below are set properly. + +* Choose the correct combination of BIOS/UEFI and bootstrap image on [https://bootstrap.grid.tf/](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/) + * Newer system will use UEFI + * Older system will use BIOS + * Hint: If your 3Node boot stops at *Initializing Network Devices*, try the other method (BIOS or UEFI) +* Set Multi-Processor and Hyperthreading at Enabled + * Sometimes, it will be written Virtual Cores, or Logical Cores. +* Set Virtualization at Enabled + * On Intel, it is denoted as CPU virtualization and on ASUS, it is denoted as SVM. + * Make sure virtualization is enabled and look for the precise terms in your specific BIOS/UEFI. +* Set AC Recovery at Last Power State + * This will make sure your 3Node restarts after losing power momentarily. +* Select the proper Boot Sequence for the 3Node to boot Zero-OS from your bootstrap image + * e.g., if you have a USB key as a bootstrap image, select it in Boot Sequence +* Set Server Lookup Method (or the equivalent) at DNS. Only use Static IP if you know what you are doing. + * Your router will assign a dynamic IP address to your 3Node when it connects to Internet. +* Set Client Address Method (or the equivalent) at DHCP. Only use Static IP if you know what you are doing. + * Your router will assign a dynamic IP address to your 3Node when it connects to Internet. +* Secure Boot should be left at disabled + * Enable it if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, it can be set at disabled. + + + + +## Setting the Remote Management of a Server with a Static IP Address (Optional) + + +Note from the list above that by enabling the DHCP and DNS in BIOS, dynamic IP addresses will be assigned to 3Nodes. This way, you do not need any specific port configuration when booting a 3Node. + +As long as the 3Node is connected to the Internet via an ethernet cable (WiFi is not supported), Zero-OS will be able to boot. By setting DHCP in BIOS, an IP address is automatically assigned to your 3Node every time you boot it.

We also include optional advanced booting methods using OPNSense and pfSense. + +One of the great features of Zero-OS is that it can be completely run within the cache of your 3Node. Indeed, the booting device that contains your farm ID will connect to the ThreeFold Grid and download everything needed to run smoothly. There are many benefits in terms of security and protection of data that comes with this. + +## 1. Booting the 3Node with Zero-OS + +To boot Zero-OS, insert your Zero-OS bootstrap image USB key, power on your computer and choose the right booting sequence and parameters ([BIOS or UEFI](./5_set_bios_uefi.md)) in your BIOS/UEFI settings. Then, restart the 3Node. Zero-OS should boot automatically. + +Note that you need an ethernet cable connected to your router or switch. You cannot farm on the ThreeFold Grid with Wifi. + +The first time you boot a 3Node, it will be written: “This node is not registered (farmer : NameOfFarm). This is normal. The Grid will create a node ID and you will be able to see it on screen. This can take a couple of minutes. + +If time passes (an hour and more) and the node does not get registered, in many cases, [wiping the disks](./4_wipe_all_disks.md) all over again and trying another reboot usually resolves this issue. + +Once you have your node ID, you can also go on the ThreeFold Dashboard to see your 3Node and verify that your 3Node is online. + +## 2. Check the 3Node Status Online + +You can use the ThreeFold [Node Finder](../../dashboard/deploy/node_finder.md) to verify that your 3Node is online. + +* [ThreeFold Main Net Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) +* [ThreeFold Test Net Dashboard](https://dashboard.test.grid.tf/) +* [ThreeFold Dev Net Dashboard](https://dashboard.dev.grid.tf/) +* [ThreeFold QA Net Dashboard](https://dashboard.qa.grid.tf/) + + +## 3.

You've now completed the necessary steps to build a DIY 3Node and to connect it to the Grid. + +## Advanced Booting Methods (Optional) + +### PXE Booting with OPNsense + +> This documentation comes from the [amazing Network Booting Guide](https://forum.ThreeFold.io/t/network-booting-tutorial/2688) by @Fnelson on the ThreeFold Forum. + +Network booting ditches your standard boot USB with a local server. This TFTP server delivers your boot files to your 3 nodes. This can be useful in bigger home farms, but is all but mandatory in a data center setup. + +Network boot setup is quite easy and is centered about configuring a TFTP server. There are essentially 2 options for this, a small dedicated server such as a raspberry pi, or piggybacking on your pfsense or opnsense router. I would recommend the latter as it eliminates another piece of equipment and is probably more reliable. + +**Setting Up Your Router to Allow Network Booting** + +These steps are for OPNsense, PFsense may differ.

GPU Farming

+ +Welcome to the *GPU Farming* section of the ThreeFold Manual! + +In this guide, we delve into the realm of GPU farming, shedding light on the significance of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and how they can be seamlessly integrated into the ThreeFold ecosystem. + +

Originally developed for graphics-intensive tasks in gaming and multimedia applications, GPUs have evolved into powerful parallel processors with the ability to handle complex computations, such as 3D rendering, AI and machine learning. + +In the context of ThreeFold, GPU farming involves harnessing the computational power of Graphics Processing Units to contribute to the decentralized grid. This empowers users to participate in the network's mission of creating a more equitable and efficient internet infrastructure. + +## Get Started + +In this guide, we focus on the integration of GPUs with a 3Node, the fundamental building block of the ThreeFold Grid. The process involves adding a GPU to enhance the capabilities of your node, providing increased processing power and versatility for a wide range of tasks. Note that any Nvidia or AMD graphics card should work as long as it's supported by the system. + +## Install the GPU + +We cover the basic steps to install the GPU on your 3Node. + +* Find a proper GPU model for your specific 3Node hardware +* Install the GPU on the server + * Note: You might need to move or remove some pieces of your server to make room for the GPU +* (Optional) Boot the 3Node with a Linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu) and use the terminal to check if the GPU is recognized by the system + * ``` + sudo lshw -C Display + ``` + * Output example with an AMD Radeon (on the line `product: ...`) +![gpu_farming](./img/cli_display_gpu.png) +* Boot the 3Node with the ZOS bootstrap image + +## GPU Node and the Farmerbot + +If you are using the Farmerbot, it might be a good idea to first boot the GPU node without the Farmerbot (i.e. to remove the node in the config file and restart the Farmerbot). Once you've confirmed that the GPU is properly detected by TFChain, you can then put back the GPU node in the config file and restart the Farmerbot. While this is not necessary, it can be an effective way to test the GPU node separately. + +## Set a Price for the GPU Node + +You can [set additional fees](../farming_optimization/set_additional_fees.md) for your GPU dedicated node on the [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/). + +When a user reserves your 3Node as a dedicated node, you will receive TFT payments once every 24 hours. These TFT payments will be sent to the TFChain account of your farm's twin. + +## Check the GPU Node on the Node Finder + +You can use the [Node Finder](../../dashboard/deploy/node_finder.md) on the [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) to verify that the node is displayed as having a GPU. + +* On the Dashboard, go to the Node Finder +* Under **Node ID**, write the node ID of the GPU node +* Once the results are displayed, you should see **1** under **GPU** + * If you are using the Status bot, you might need to change the node status under **Select Nodes Status** (e.g. **Down**, **Standby**) to see the node's information + +> Note: It can take some time for the GPU parameter to be displayed. + +## Reserving the GPU Node + +Now, users can reserve the node in the **Dedicated Nodes** section of the Dashboard and then deploy workloads using the GPU. For more information, read [this documentation](../../dashboard/deploy/dedicated_machines.md). + +## Questions and Feedback + +If you have any questions or feedback, we invite you to discuss with the ThreeFold community on the [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Farmer chat](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers) on Telegram. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

A Node can only continue it's boot process till the end when it effectively has received an IP address and a route to the Internet. Without that, the Node will retry indefinitely to obtain Internet access and not finish it's startup. + +So a Node needs to be connected to a __wired__ network, providing a dhcp server and a default gateway to the Internet, be it NATed or plainly on the public network, where any route to the Internet, be it IPv4 or IPv6 or both is sufficient. + +For a node to have that ability to host user networks, we **strongly** advise to have a working IPv6 setup, as that is the primary IP stack we're using for the User Network's Mesh to function. + +## Running ZOS (v2) at Home + +Running a ZOS Node at home is plain simple. Connect it to your router, plug it in the network, insert the preconfigured USB stick containing the bootloader and the `farmer_id`, power it on. + +## Running ZOS (v2) in a Multi-Node Farm in a DC + +Multi-Node Farms, where a farmer wants to host the nodes in a data centre, have basically the same simplicity, but the nodes can boot from a boot server that provides for DHCP, and also delivers the iPXE image to load, without the need for a USB stick in every Node. + +A boot server is not really necessary, but it helps! That server has a list of the MAC addresses of the nodes, and delivers the bootloader over PXE. The farmer is responsible to set-up the network, and configure the boot server. + +### Necessities + +The Farmer needs to: + +- Obtain an IPv6 prefix allocation from the provider. A `/64` will do, that is publicly reachable, but a `/48` is advisable if the farmer wants to provide IPv6 transit for User Networks +- If IPv6 is not an option, obtain an IPv4 subnet from the provider. At least one IPv4 address per node is needed, where all IP addresses are publicly reachable. +- Have the Nodes connected on that public network with a switch so that all Nodes are publicly reachable. +- In case of multiple NICS, also make sure his farm is properly registered in BCDB, so that the Node's public IP Addresses are registered. +- Properly list the MAC addresses of the Nodes, and configure the DHCP server to provide for an IP address, and in case of multiple NICs also provide for private IP addresses over DHCP per Node. +- Make sure that after first boot, the Nodes are reachable. + +### IPv6 + +IPv6, although already a real protocol since '98, has seen reluctant adoption over the time it exists. That mostly because ISPs and Carriers were reluctant to deploy it, and not seeing the need since the advent of NAT and private IP space, giving the false impression of security. +But this month (10/2019), RIPE sent a mail to all it's LIRs that the last consecutive /22 in IPv4 has been allocated. Needless to say, but that makes the transition to IPv6 in 2019 of utmost importance and necessity. +Hence, ZOS starts with IPv6, and IPv4 is merely an afterthought ;-) +So in a nutshell: we greatly encourage Farmers to have IPv6 on the Node's network. + +### Routing/Firewalling + +Basically, the Nodes are self-protecting, in the sense that they provide no means at all to be accessed through listening processes at all. No service is active on the node itself, and User Networks function solely on an overlay. +That also means that there is no need for a Farm admin to protect the Nodes from exterior access, albeit some DDoS protection might be a good idea. +In the first phase we will still allow the Host OS (ZOS) to reply on ICMP ping requests, but that 'feature' might as well be blocked in the future, as once a Node is able to register itself, there is no real need to ever want to try to reach it. + +### Multi-NIC Nodes + +Nodes that Farmers deploy are typically multi-NIC Nodes, where one (typically a 1GBit NIC) can be used for getting a proper DHCP server running from where the Nodes can boot, and one other NIC (1Gbit or even 10GBit), that then is used for transfers of User Data, so that there is a clean separation, and possible injections bogus data is not possible. + +That means that there would be two networks, either by different physical switches, or by port-based VLANs in the switch (if there is only one). + +- Management NICs + The Management NIC will be used by ZOS to boot, and register itself to the GRID. Also, all communications from the Node to the Grid happens from there. +- Public NICs + +### Farmers and the TFGrid + +A Node, being part of the Grid, has no concept of 'Farmer'. The only relationship for a Node with a Farmer is the fact that that is registered 'somewhere (TM)', and that a such workloads on a Node will be remunerated with Tokens. For the rest, a Node is a wholly stand-alone thing that participates in the Grid. + +```text + 172.16.1.0/24 + 2a02:1807:1100:10::/64 ++--------------------------------------+ +| +--------------+ | +-----------------------+ +| |Node ZOS | +-------+ | | +| | +-------------+1GBit +--------------------+ 1GBit switch | +| | | br-zos +-------+ | | +| | | | | | +| | | | | | +| | | | +------------------+----+ +| +--------------+ | | +-----------+ +| | OOB Network | | | +| | +----------+ ROUTER | +| | | | +| | | | +| | | | +| +------------+ | +----------+ | +| | Public | | | | | +| | container | | | +-----+-----+ +| | | | | | +| | | | | | +| +---+--------+ | +-------------------+--------+ | +| | | | 10GBit Switch | | +| br-pub| +-------+ | | | +| +-----+10GBit +-------------------+ | +----------> +| +-------+ | | Internet +| | | | +| | +----------------------------+ ++--------------------------------------+ + 185.69.167.128/26 Public network + 2a02:1807:1100:0::/64 + +``` + +Where the underlay part of the wireguard interfaces get instantiated in the Public container (namespace), and once created these wireguard interfaces get sent into the User Network (Network Resource), where a user can then configure the interface a he sees fit. + +The router of the farmer fulfills 2 roles: + +- NAT everything in the OOB network to the outside, so that nodes can start and register themselves, as well get tasks to execute from the BCDB. +- Route the assigned IPv4 subnet and IPv6 public prefix on the public segment, to which the public container is connected. + +As such, in case that the farmer wants to provide IPv4 public access for grid proxies, the node will need at least one (1) IPv4 address.

These nodes are effectively also HIDDEN +- Nodes with 2 NICs, one that has effectively a NIC connected to a segment that has real public +addresses (IPv4 and/or IPv6) and one NIC that is used for booting and local +management. (OOB) (like in the drawing for farmer setup) + +For Farmers, we need to have Nodes to be reachable over IPv6, so that the nodes can: + +- expose services to be proxied into containers/vms +- act as aggregating nodes for Overlay Networks for HIDDEN Nodes + +Some Nodes in Farms should also have a publicly reachable IPv4, to make sure that clients that only have IPv4 can +effectively reach exposed services. + +But we need to stress the importance of IPv6 availability when you're running a multi-node farm in a datacentre: as the +grid is boldly claiming to be a new Internet, we should make sure we adhere to the new protocols that are future-proof. +Hence: IPv6 is the base, and IPv4 is just there to accomodate the transition. + +Nowadays, RIPE can't even hand out consecutive /22 IPv4 blocks any more for new LIRs, so you'll be bound to market to +get IPv4, mostly at rates of 10-15 Euro per IP. Things tend to get costly that way. + +So anyway, IPv6 is not an afterthought in 0-OS, we're starting with it. + +# Network Setup for Farmers + +This is a quick manual to what is needed for connecting a node with zero-OS V2.0 + +## Step 1. Testing for IPv6 Availability in Your Location +As descibed above the network in which the node is instaleld has to be IPv6 enabled. This is not an afterthought as we are building a new internet it has to ba based on the new and forward looking IP addressing scheme. This is something you have to investigate, negotiate with you connectivity provider. Many (but not all home connectivity products and certainly most datacenters can provide you with IPv6. There are many sources of infromation on how to test and check whether your connection is IPv6 enabled, [here is a starting point](http://www.ipv6enabled.org/ipv6_enabled/ipv6_enable.php) + +## Step 2. Choosing the Setup to Connect Your Nodes + +Once you have established that you have IPv6 enabled on the network you are about to deploy, you have to make sure that there is an IPv6 DHCP facility available. Zero-OS does not work with static IPv6 addresses (at this point in time). So you have choose and create one of the following setups: + +### 2.1 Home Setup + +Use your (home) ISP router Ipv6 DHCP capabilities to provide (private) IPv6 addresses. The principle will work the same as for IPv4 home connections, everything happens enabled by Network Adress Translation (just like anything else that uses internet connectivity). This should be relatively straightforward if you have established that your conenction has IPv6 enabled. + +### 2.2 Data Center/Advanced Setup + +In this situation there are many options on how to setup you node. This requires you as the expert to make a few decisions on how to connect what what the best setup is that you can support for the operaitonal time of your farm. The same basics principles apply: + - You have to have a block of (public) IPv6 routed to you router, or you have to have your router setup to provide Network Address Translation (NAT) + - You have to have a DHCP server in your network that manages and controls IPV6 ip adress leases. Depending on your specific setup you have this DHCP server manage a public IPv6y range which makes all nodes directly connected to the public internet or you have this DHCP server manage a private block og IPv6 addresses which makes all you nodes connect to the internet through NAT. + +As a farmer you are in charge of selecting and creating the appropriate network setup for your farm. + +# General Notes + +The above setup will allows your node(s) to appear in explorer on the TFGrid and will allow you to earn farming tokens. At stated in the introduction ThreeFold is creating next generation internet capacity and therefore has IPv6 as it's base building block. Connecting to the current (dominant) IPv4 network happens for IT workloads through so called webgateways. As the word sais these are gateways that provide connectivity between the currenct leading IPv4 adressing scheme and IPv6. + +We have started a forum where people share their experiences and configurations. This will be work in progress and forever growing. + +**IMPORTANT**: You as a farmer do not need access to IPV4 to be able to rent capacity for IT workloads that need to be visible on IPV4, this is something that can happen elsewhere on the TFGrid. + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/advanced_networking/networking_overview.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/advanced_networking/networking_overview.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c4bc322 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/advanced_networking/networking_overview.md @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +

The information available in this section is a combination of documentation from ThreeFold and tips and advice from community members who experienced first-hand the creation of ThreeFold farms that make use of public IPs block in data centers, personal data centers and home farms. A special thank you to those who contributed to improving the TFGrid and its knowledge base documentation. + +## Possible Configurations + +For farmers who have public IPs, extra considerations are needed in setting up the network of the farm. We will go through the main considerations in this section. + +First, we must acknowledge that by the open-source and design of ThreeFold farming, a farm can range from a simple [single 3Node](../3node_building/3node_building.md) setup, to a multi-rack farm hosted in a typical data center, and everything in-between, from the farmer experiencing with public IP blocks, to the entrepreneur who builds their own data center at home. + +There are thus many types of farms and each will have varying configurations. The simplest way to set up a farm has been extensively discussed in the first steps of creating a farm. But what are the other more complex configurations possible? Let's go through some of those: + +- Network link + - DC provides a network link into the farmer's rack +- Router and switch + - The farmer provider their own router and switch + - DC provides a router and/or switch in the rack +- Gateway IP and public IP + - Gateway IP provided is in the same range as the public IPs + - Gateway IP is in a different range than the public IPs +- Segmenting + - Farmer segments the OOB ("Zos"/private) interfaces and the public interfaces into + - separate VLANs, OR; + - uses separate switches altogether + - No segmenting is actually necessary, farmer connects all interfaces to one switch + +## Overall Requirements + +There are overall requirements for any 3Node farm using IP address blocks in a data centere or at home: + +- There must be at least one interface that provide DHCP to each node +- Public IPs must be routable from at least one interface + +Note that redundancy can help in avoiding single point of failure [(SPOF)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_point_of_failure). + +## Notes and Warnings + +### Management Interfaces + +You should make sure to never expose management interfaces to the public internet. + + +### Data Center Cable Management + +It's important to have a good cable management, especially if you are in a data center. Proper cable management will improve the cooling streams of your farm. There shouldn't be any cable in front of the fans. This way, your servers will last longer. If you want to patch a rack, you have to have all lenght of patch cables from 30cm to 3m. Also, try to keep the cables as short as possible. Arrange the cables in bundles of eight and lead them to the sides of the rack as much as possible for optimal airflow. + + + + + +### Static IP Uplink + +If your DC uplink is established by simple static IP (which is the case in most DCs), there is a simple setup possible. Note that if you have to use PPPoE or pptp/L2TP (like a consumer internet connection at most homes), this would not work. + +If your WAN is established by static IP, you can simply attach the WAN uplink provided by the DC to one of the switches (and not to the WAN-side of your own router). Then, the WAN-side of the router needs to be attached to the switch too. By doing so, your nodes will be able to connect directly to the DC gateway, in the same way that the router is connecting its WAN-side to the gateway, without the public IP traffic being routed/bridged through the router (bypassing). + +With a network configured like this, it is absolutely not important on which ports you connect which NIC of your nodes. You can just randomly plug them anywhere. But there is one restriction: the DC uplink must use a static IP. Dynamic IP would also not work because you would then have two DHCP servers in the same physical network (the one from the DC and your own router). + +## Testing the Setup + +Manual and automatic validation of the network of a farm are possible. More information on automatic validation will be added in the future. + +You can test the network of your farm manually by deploying a workload on your 3Nodes with either a gateway or a public IP reserved. + +## Questions and Feedback + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Farmer Chat](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers) on Telegram. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/complete_diy_guides/3node_diy_desktop/3node_diy_desktop.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/complete_diy_guides/3node_diy_desktop/3node_diy_desktop.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..de74eb0 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/complete_diy_guides/3node_diy_desktop/3node_diy_desktop.md @@ -0,0 +1,406 @@ +

+ +# 1. Create a Farm + +You can create a farm with either the ThreeFold Dashboard or the ThreeFold Connect app. + +## Using Dashboard + +The Dashboard section contains all the information required to [create a farm](../../../dashboard/farms/your_farms.md). + +## Using TF Connect App + +You can [create a ThreeFold farm](../../../threefold_token/storing_tft/tf_connect_app.md) with the ThreeFold Connect App. + + +# 2. Create a Zero-OS Bootstrap Image + +## Download the Zero-OS Boostrap Image + +We will now learn how to create a Zero-OS Bootstrap Image in order to boot a DIY 3Node. + +Go on the [ThreeFold Zero-OS Bootstrap Link](https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf) as shown above. + +![Farming_Create_Farm_21](./img/farming_createfarm_21.png) + +This is the Zero-OS v3 Bootstrapping page. + +![Farming_Create_Farm_22](./img/farming_createfarm_22.png) + +Write your farm ID and choose production mode. + +![Farming_Create_Farm_23](./img/farming_createfarm_23.png) + +Download the bootstrap image. Next, we will burn the bootstrap image. + + + +
+ +## Burn the Zero-OS Bootstrap Image + + + +For **MAC**, **Linux** and **Windows**, you can use [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to load/flash the image on a USB stick. This program also formats the USB in the process. This will work for the option **EFI IMG** for UEFI boot, and with the option **USB** for BIOS boot. Simply follow the steps presented to you and make sure you select the correct bootstrap image file you downloaded previously. + +General Steps: + +1. Download BalenaEtcher at [https://balena.io/etcher](https://balena.io/etcher) + +![3node_diy_desktop_42.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_42.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_43.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_43.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_44.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_44.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_45.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_45.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_48.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_48.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_49.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_49.png) + +2. Open BalenaEtcher + +![3node_diy_desktop_50.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_50.png) + +3. Select **Flash from file** + +![3node_diy_desktop_52.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_52.png) + +1. Find and select the bootstrap image in your computer + +2. Select **Target** (your USB key) + +![3node_diy_desktop_53.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_53.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_54.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_54.png) + +6.

Now you have a bootstrap image on Zero-OS as a bootable removable media device. + + + +
+ +# 3. Set the Hardware + +Setting the hardware of this DIY 3node is very easy as there are no updates or upgrades needed. Simply unbox the computer and plug everything. + +![3node_diy_desktop_40.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_40.jpeg) + +![3node_diy_desktop_38.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_38.jpeg) + +![3node_diy_desktop_30.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_30.jpeg) + +![3node_diy_desktop_29.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_29.jpeg) + +Plug the computer cable in the surge protector + +![3node_diy_desktop_6.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_6.png) + +Connect the computer cable, the ethernet cable, the mouse and keyboard cable and the monitor cable. + +![3node_diy_desktop_13.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_13.jpeg) + +Plug the ethernet cable in the router (or the switch) + +![3node_diy_desktop_6.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_3.png) + + + +
+ +# 4. Wipe All the Disks + +In this section, we will learn how to create a Linux bootstrap image, boot it in Try mode and then wipe all the disks in your 3Node. To create a Linux boostrap image, follow the same process as when we burnt the Zero-OS Boostrap Image. + + + +## 1. Create a Linux Boostrap Image + + + +1. Download the Ubuntu 20.04 ISO file [here](https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/) +2. Burn the ISO image on a USB key with Balena Etcher + + + +## 2. Boot Linux in Try Mode + + + +1. Insert your Linux boostrap image USB key in your computer and boot it +2. During boot, press F12 to enter into Settings +3. Select your booting device, here it is: *UEFI: USB DISK 2.0* + +![3node_diy_desktop_107.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_107.jpeg) + +4. Select Try or install Ubuntu + +![3node_diy_desktop_106.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_106.jpeg) + +5. Select Try Ubuntu + +![3node_diy_desktop_105.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_105.jpeg) + + + +## 3. Use wipefs to Wipe All Disks + + + +Once Ubuntu is booted, you will land on the main page. + +![3node_diy_desktop_67.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_67.png) + +At the bottom left of the screen, click on Applications. + +![3node_diy_desktop_68.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_68.png) + +In Applications, select Terminal. + +![3node_diy_desktop_69.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_69.png) + +If you don't see it, write terminal in the search box. + +![3node_diy_desktop_70.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_70.png) + +You will land in the Ubuntu Terminal. + +![3node_diy_desktop_71.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_71.png) + +Write the command line *lsblk* as shown below. You will then see the disks in your computer. You want to wipe the main disk, but not the USB key we are using, named *sdb* here. We can see here that the SSD disk, *sda*, has 3 partitions: *sda1*, *sda2*, *sda3*. Note that when wiping the disks, we want no partition. + +In this case, the disk we want to wipe is *sda*. + +![3node_diy_desktop_72.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_72.png) + +Write the command line *sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda*. This will wipe the disk *sda*. + +![3node_diy_desktop_73.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_73.png) + +If you write the command line *lsblk* once more, you should see that your SSD disk has no more partition. The disk has been properly wiped. + +![3node_diy_desktop_74.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_74.png) + +Power off the computer by selecting *Power Off* after having clicked on the button at the top right of the screen as shown below. + +![3node_diy_desktop_75.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_75.png) + +That's it! The disks are all wiped. All that is left now is to set the BIOS/UEFI settings and then boot the 3Node! + + + +
+ +# 5. Set the BIOS/UEFI + +Before booting the main operating system, in our case Zero-OS, a computer will boot in either BIOS or UEFI mode. Older systems use BIOS and newer systems uses UEFI. Both BIOS and UEFI are low-lewel softwares needed to interact between the hardware and the main OS of the computer. Note that BIOS is also called Legacy BIOS. + +## The Essential Features of BIOS/UEFI for a 3Node + + + +There are certain things that you should make sure are set properly on your 3Node. + +As a general advice, you can Load Defaults (Settings) on your BIOS, then make sure the options below are set properly. + +* Choose the correct combination of BIOS/UEFI and bootstrap image on [https://bootstrap.grid.tf/](https://bootstrap.grid.tf/) + * Newer system will use UEFI --> the Dell Optiplex 7020 uses UEFI + * Bootstrap image: *EFI IMG* and *EFI FILE* + * Older system will use Legacy BIOS + * Bootstrap image: *ISO* and *USB* +* Set *Multi-Processor* and *Hyperthreading* at Enabled + * Sometimes, it will be written *Virtual Cores*, or *Logical Cores*. +* Set *Virtualization* at Enabled + * On Intel, it is denoted as *CPU virtualization* and on ASUS, it is denoted as *SVM*. + * Make sure virtualization is enabled and look for the precise terms in your specific BIOS/UEFI. +* Enable *Network Stack* (sometimes called *Network Boot*) +* Set *AC Recovery* at *Last Power State* + * This will make sure your 3Node restarts after losing power momentarily. +* Select the proper *Boot Sequence* for the 3Node to boot Zero-OS from your bootstrap image + * e.g., if you have a USB key as a bootstrap image, select it in *Boot Sequence* +* Set *Server Lookup Method* (or the equivalent) at *DNS*. + * Only use Static IP if you know what you are doing. + * Your router will automatically assign a dynamic IP address to your 3Node when it connects to Internet. +* Set *Client Address Method* (or the equivalent) at *DHCP*. Only use Static IP if you know what you are doing. + * Your router will automatically assign a dynamic IP address to your 3Node when it connects to Internet. +* *Secure Boot* should be left at disabled + * Enable it if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, it can be set at disabled. + + + +
+ +## Set the BIOS/UEFI on a Dell Optiplex 7020 + + + +1. Insert your Zero-OS boostrap image USB key in your computer and boot it. +2. During boot, press F12 to enter into *Settings* then choose *BIOS Setup*. + +![3node_diy_desktop_104.jpeg](img/3node_diy_desktop_109.png) + +3. In BIOS Setup, click on Load Default and confirm by clicking on *OK* + +![3node_diy_desktop_115.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_115.png) + +4. Leave the BIOS Setup (Exit) and re-enter. This will set the default settings. + +5. Go through each page and make sure you are following the guidelines set in the section Essential Features as shown in the following pictures. + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_116.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_117.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_118.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_114.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_127.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_120.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_128.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_122.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_123.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_129.png) + +![3node_diy_desktop_.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_125.png) + + +6. Once you are done, click on *Exit* and then click *Yes* to save your changes. The 3node will now boot Zero-OS. + +![3node_diy_desktop_126.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_126.png) + + + +
+ +# 6. Boot the 3Node + +If your BIOS/UEFI settings are set properly and you have the Zero-OS bootstrap image USB key plugged in, your 3node should automatically boot Zero-OS every time that it is turned on. + +1. Power on the 3Node with the Zero-OS boostrap image USB key +2. Let the 3Node load Zero-OS + * The first time it boots, the 3node will register to the TF Grid +3. Verify the 3Node's status on ThreeFold Explorer + +The first time you boot a 3Node, it will be written: “This node is not registered (farmer : NameOfFarm). This is normal. The Grid will create a node ID and you will be able to see it on screen. This can take a couple of minutes. + +This is the final screen you should see when your 3Node is connected to the ThreeFold Grid. Note that it is normal if it is written *no public config* next to *PUB* as we did not set any public IP address. + +Naturally, your node ID as well as your farm ID and name will be shown. + +![3node_diy_desktop_76.png](img/3node_diy_desktop_130.png) + +Once you have your node ID, you can also go on the ThreeFold Dashboard to see your 3Node and verify that your 3Node is online. + + + +
+ +## Check the Node Status + +You can use the [Node Finder](../../../dashboard/deploy/node_finder.md) on the [TF Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) to verify that the node is online. + +Enter your node ID and click **Apply**. + +## Farming Rewards Distribution + + + +The farming reward will be sent once per month directly in your ThreeFold Connect App wallet. Farming rewards are usually distributed around the 5th of each month. + + + +# Additional Information + +Congratulations, you now have built your first ThreeFold 3Node server! + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Telegram Farmer Group](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers). \ No newline

If you don’t have anti-static gloves, remember this: + +> Always touch the metal side of the server before manipulating the hardware. + +Your hands will discharge the static on the outside of the box, which is secure. + +## Setting the M.2 NVME SSD Disk with the PCIe Adaptor + +![3node_diy_rack_server_3](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_3.png) + +Here is one of the two 2TB SSD NVME m.2 that we will install on the server. Above the SSD is the PCIe Gen 3, x4 that we will use to connect the SSD to the server. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_4](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_4.png) + +You can see at the left of the adaptor that there is a metal piece that can be used to hold more firmly the PCIe adaptor and the SSD. We will remove it for this DIY build. Why? Because it is not necessary as the adaptor can hold the weight of the SSD. Also, this metal piece is full while the brackets in the server have holes in it. This will ensure a better airflow and thus less heat. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_5](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_5.png) + +We remove the screws with a star screwdriver. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_6](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_6.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_7](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_7.png) + +This SSD already has a heatsink. There is no need to use the heatsink included in the PCIe adaptor kit. If you remove the heatsink or the sticker under the SSD, you will lose your 5 years warranty. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_8](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_8.png) + +When you put the SSD in the adaptor, make sure you have the opening in line with the adaptor. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_9](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_9.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_10](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_10.png) + +Fitting in the SSD takes some force.

Make sure the case is at the unlocked position. If you need to turn it to unlocked position, use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_16](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_16.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_17](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_17.png) + +Lift up the lock and the top server plate should glide to the back. You can remove the top of the server. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_18](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_18.png) + +Here’s the full story! R620 and all! + +![3node_diy_rack_server_19](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_19.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_20](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_20.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_21](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_21.png) + +To remove this plastic piece, simply lift with your fingers at the designated spot (follow the blue line!). + +![3node_diy_rack_server_22](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_22.png) + +Here’s the RAMs! This R620 came already equipped with 256GB of rams dispersed in 16x16GB sticks. If you need to add the RAM sticks yourself, make sure you are doing it correctly. The FAQ covers some basic information for RAM installation. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_23](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_23.png) + +To remove a stick, push on the clips on both sides. You can do it one at a time if you want. Make sure it doesn’t pop out and fall on a hardware piece! Once the clips are opened, pull out the RAM stick by holding it on the sides. This will ensure it does not get damaged. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_24](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_24.png) + +Here’s the RAM in it’s purest form! + +![3node_diy_rack_server_25](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_25.png) + +Here you can see that the gap is not in the middle of the RAM stick. You must be careful when inserting the RAM. Make sure you have the gap aligned with the RAM holder. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_26](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_26.png) + +When you want to put a RAM stick in its slot, make sure the plastic holders on the sides are opened and insert the RAM stick. Make sure you align the RAM stick properly. You can then push on one side at a time until the RAM stick clicks in. You can do it both sides at once if you are at ease. + +### General Rules when Installing RAM Sticks + +First, always use RAM sticks of the same size and type. It should be noted on your motherboard which slots to populate first. + +As a general guide, there is usually 2 slots A and B, with each 2 memory stick entries. You must then install the ram sticks on A1 and B1 in order to achieve dual channel, then A2 and B2 if you have more (visual order: A1 A2 B1 B2). + +#### Procedure to Install RAM Sticks + +You want to start with your largest sticks, evenly distributed between both processors and work your way down to your smallest. + +As an example, let's say you have 2 processors and 4x 16GB sticks and 4x 8GB sticks. The arrangement would be A1-16GB, B1-16GB, A2-16GB, B2-16GB, A3-8GB, B3-8GB, A4-8GB, B4-8GB. + +Avoid odd numbers as well. You optimally want pairs. So if you only have 5x 8GB sticks, only install 4 until you have an even 6. + + +## Installing the SSD Disks + + +![3node_diy_rack_server_27](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_27.png) + +To put back the plastic protector, simply align the plastic piece with the two nudges in the metal case. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_28](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_28.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_29](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_29.png) + +We will now remove this PCIe riser in order to connect the SSDs. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_30](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_30.png) + +Optional step: put the SSDs and the PCIe riser next to each other so they can talk and break the ice. They will get to learn one another before going into the server to farm TFT. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_31](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_31.png) + +Just like with RAM sticks, you want to make sure you are aligned with the slot. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_32](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_32.png) + +Next, push the adaptor inside the riser’s opening. This takes some force too. If you are well aligned, it should be done with ease. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_33](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_33.png) + +This is what the riser looks like with the two SSDs installed. Now you simply need to put the riser back inside the server. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_34](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_34.png) + +Push down on the riser to insert it properly. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_35](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_35.png) + +It’s good to notice that the inside of the top plate of the server has great pictures showing how to manipulate the hardware. + + + +## Plugging the 3node Server + + + +![3node_diy_rack_server_36](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_36.png) + +Now you will want to plug in the power cable in the PSU. Here we show two 495W PSUs. With 256GB of RAM and two SSDs NVME, it is better to use two 750W PSUs. Note that this server will only use around 100W at idle. There are two power cables for redundancy. The unit does not need more than one to function. + +On a 15A/120V breaker, you can have more than one server. But note that, at full load, this server can use up to 400W. In this case, no more than 3 servers could be plugged on the same breaker. Make sure you adapt to your current situation (server's power consumption, electric breaker, etc.). + +![3node_diy_rack_server_37](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_37.png) + +Plugging in the power cable is pretty straightforward. Just make sure you have the 3 pins oriented properly! + +![3node_diy_rack_server_38](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_38.png) + +It is highly recommended to plug the power cable in a surge protector. If you have unsteady electricity at your location, it might be good to use a UPS, uninterrupted power supply. A surge protector is essential to avoid overpowering and damaging the server. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_39](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_39.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_40](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_40.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_41](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_41.png) + +Before starting the server, you can plug in the monitor and the keyboard as well as the ethernet cable. Make sure you plug the ethernet cable in one of the four NIC ports. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_42](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_42.png) + +Now, power it on! + +![3node_diy_rack_server_43](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_43.png) + +The server is booting. + + +## Removing the DVD Optical Drive - Installing a SSD disk in the DVD Optical Drive Slot + + +![3node_diy_rack_server_44](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_44.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_45](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_45.png) + +If you want to change the DVD optical drive, push where indicated and remove the power and SATA cables. + +It is possible to install a SSD disk in there. To do so, use a SATA HDD hard drive caddy CD/DVD **9.5mm** and put in a SATA III 2.5" disk. The caddy is not necessary. You could simply remove the standard CD/DVD caddy and plug the SATA disk. + +The hardware part is done. Next, you will want to set the BIOS properly as well as get the bootstrap image of Zero-OS. Before we get into this, let's have some information on using the onboard storage of your 3node server. + + +## Using Onboard Storage - RAID Controller Details + + +If you want to use the onboard storage on your server, you will probably need to flash the RAID card or do some adjustment in order for Zero-OS to recognize your disks. + +You can use the onboard storage on a server without RAID. You can [re-flash](https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html) the RAID card, turn on HBA/non-RAID mode, or install a different card. It's usually easy to set servers such as a HP Proliant with the HBA mode. + +For Dell servers, you can either cross-flash the RAID controller with an “IT-mode-Firmware” (see this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5nb09VksYw)) or get a DELL H310-controller (which has the non-RAID option). Otherwise, as shown in this guide, you can install a NVME SSD with a PCIe adaptor, and turn off the RAID controller. + +Note that for Dell R610 and R710, you can re-flash the RAID card. For the R910, you can’t re-flash the card. In this case, you will need to get a LSI Dell card. + +# Zero-OS Bootstrap Image + +With R620 and R720 Dell servers, UEFI does not work well. You will want to use either a DVD or a USB in BIOS mode. + +Go on https://bootstrap.grid.tf/ and download the appropriate image: option **ISO** for the DVD and option **USB** for BIOS USB (not UEFI). + +Write your farmer ID and make sure you select production mode. + +## Creating a Farm + +You can create a farm with either the ThreeFold Dashboard or the ThreeFold Connect app. + +### Using Dashboard + +The Dashboard section contains all the information required to [create a farm](../../../dashboard/farms/your_farms.md). + +### Using TF Connect App + +You can [create a ThreeFold farm](../../../threefold_token/storing_tft/tf_connect_app.md) with the ThreeFold Connect App. + +## Wiping All the Disks + +You might need to wipe your disks if they are not brand new. To wipe your disks, read the section [Wipe All the Disks](../../3node_building/4_wipe_all_disks.md) of the ThreeFold Farming Documentation. + +## Downloading the Zero-OS Bootstrap Image + +You can then download the [Zero-OS bootstrap image](https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf) for your farm. + +![3node_diy_rack_server_46](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_46.png) + +![3node_diy_rack_server_47](./img/3node_diy_rack_server_47.png) + +Use the ISO image for DVD boot and the USB image for USB BIOS boot (not UEFI). We use the farm ID 1 here as an example. Put your own farm ID. + +### DVD ISO BIOS Image +For the ISO image, download the file and burn it on a DVD. + +### USB BIOS Image +Note: the USB key must be formatted before burning the Zero-OS bootstrap image. + +For Windows, MAC and Linux, you can use [balenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/), a free and open source software that will let you create a bootstrap image on a USB key, while also formatting the USB key at the same time. + +This is the **easiest way** to burn your Zero-OS bootstrap image. All the steps are clearly explained within the software. + +For Windows, you can also use Rufus. + +For the USB image, with Linux, you can also go through the command window and write: + +> dd status=progress if=FILELOCATION.ISO(or .IMG) of=/dev/sd*. + +Here the * is to indicate that you must adjust according to your disk. To see your disks, write **lsblk** in the command window. Make sure you select the proper disk. + + +# BIOS Settings + +Before starting the server, plug in the USB bootstrap image. You can also insert the DVD once the server is on. + +When you start the server, press F2 to get into System Setup. + +Then, select System BIOS. In System BIOS settings, select Processor Settings. + +Note: More details are available for BIOS Settings in this [documentation](../../3node_building/5_set_bios_uefi.md). + +## Processor Settings + +Make sure you have enabled the Logical Processor (Hyper Threading with HP). This turns 8 cores into 16 virtual cores. You can set QPI Speed at Maximum data rate. Make sure you set All to Number of Cores per Processor. You can adjust the Processor Core speed and Processor Bus Speed for specific uses. + +It is also good to take a look at the Processors and make sure the hardware is correct. + +## Boot Settings + +Go to System BIOS Settings and select Boot Settings. In Boot Settings, choose BIOS and not UEFI as the Boot Mode. You need to save your preferences and comeback to select BIOS Boot Settings. + +Once back in BIOS Boot Settings, go to Boot Sequence. Depending on your bootstrap image of Zero-OS, select either the USB key or the Optical Drive CD-DVD option. The name of the USB key can be Drive C or else depending on where you plugged it and your server model. + +You can also disable the booting options that are not need. It can be good to have a DVD and a USB key with the bootstrap images for redundancy. If one boot fails, the computer would try with the other options of the boot sequence. This can be done with 2 USB keys too. + +Boot Sequence Retry enabled will simply redo the booting sequence if the last time did not work. + + +That's it. You've set the BIOS settings properly and now is time to boot the 3Node and connect to the ThreeFold Grid. + +You can then save your preferences and exit. Your server should restart and load the bootstrap image. + +# Booting the 3Node + +Once you've set the BIOS settings and restarted your computer, it will download the Zero-OS bootstrap image. This takes a couple of minutes. + +The first time you boot a 3Node, it will be written: “This node is not registered (farmer : NameOfFarm). This is normal. The Grid will create a node ID and you will be able to see it on screen. This can take a couple of minutes. + +Once you have your node ID, you can also go on the ThreeFold Explorer to see your 3Node and verify that the connection is recognized by the Explorer. + +# Additional Information +## Differences between the R620 and the R720 + +Note that the main difference between the R620 and the R720 is that the former is a 1U and the latter a 2U. 2U servers are usually less noisy and generate less heat than 1U servers since they have a greater volume. In the R720, fans are bigger and thus less noisy. This can be an important factor to consider. Both offer great performances and work well with Zero-OS. + +## Different CPUs and RAMs Configurations for 3Node Dell Servers + +Different CPUs and RAMs configurations are possible for the Dell R620/R720 servers. + +For example, you could replace the E5-2640 v2 CPUs for the E5-2695 V2. This would give you 48 Threads. You could then go with 12x32GB DDR3 LRDIMM. You would also need 5TB SSD total instead to get the proper ratio, which is 100GB of SSD and 8GB of RAM per virtual core (also called thread or logical core). + +Note that you cannot have more than 16 sticks of ECC DIMM on the R620/R720. For more sticks, you need LRDIMM as stated above. + +# Closing Words +That's it. You have now built a DIY 3Node and you are farming on the ThreeFold Grid. + +If you encounter errors, you can read the section [Troubleshooting and Error Messages](../../../faq/faq.md#troubleshooting-and-error-messages) of the Farmer FAQ. + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Telegram Farmer Group](https://t.me/threefoldfarmers). + +>Welcome to the New Internet! diff --git

The Farmerbot should be running at all time. + +The Farmerbot uses the nodes in the farm to send WOL packets to the node that needs to wakeup. For this reason, you need at least one node per farm to be powered on at all time. If you do not specify one node to be always on, the Farmerbot will randomly choose a node to stay on for each cycle. If all nodes in a subnet are powered off, there is no way other nodes in other subnets will be able to power them on again. + +Note that if you run the Farmerbot on your farm, it is logical to set the node running the Farmerbot as always on. In this case, it will always be this node that wakes up the other nodes. + +Currently, you can run only one Farmerbot per farm. Since you can only deploy one Farmerbot per farm, the Farmerbot can only run on one node at a time. + +Since you need at least one node to power up a second node, you can't use the Farmerbot with just one node. You need at least two 3Nodes in your farm to correctly use the Farmerbot. + +The Farmerbot gets its data completely from TFChain. This means that, unlike the previous version, the Farmerbot will not start all the nodes when it restarts. + +## YAML Configuration File Template + +The quick guide showed a simple form of the YAML configuration file.

As long as it has an internet connection, the Farmerbot will be working fine. + +The Farmerbot runs fine on a VM with a single vcore and 2GB of RAM. For the storage, you need to have room for Docker and its dependencies. Thus 1 or 2GB of free storage, with the OS already installed, should be sufficient. + +## How to Prepare Your Farm for the Farmerbot with WOL + +ZOS can utilize 2 NIC's (Network Interface Card) of a node (server, workstation, desktop, ..). The first NIC on the motherboard will always be what we call the ZOS/dmz NIC, the second one is used for public config's (Gateway, public IP's for workloads, ..). So if you don't have public IP's in your farm, only the first NIC of your ZOS node will be used. This subnet is where the farmerbot operates. If you do have public IP's the same applies. + +Wake On LAN (WOL) is used to be able to boot (start) a ZOS node remotely that was shut down by the farmerbot. It works by sending what is called a 'magic packet' to the NIC MAC address of a ZOS node. If that NIC is setup correctly, aka 'listening' for the packet, the node will start up, post and boot ZOS. The farmerbot will keep a list of MAC addresses for nodes under it's management, so it knows where to send the packet if it's required. + +## WOL Requirements + +WOL comes with a few requirements. We list them in the sections that follow. + +### Enabling WOL in the BIOS + +Enable WOL in the BIOS of your ZOS node. + +A ZOS node must be capable of doing WOL. Have a look at your node hardware / BIOS manual. If so make sure to enable it in the BIOS! A bit of research will quickly tell you how to enable for your hardware. Some older motherboards do not support this, sometimes you can be lucky it does after a BIOS upgrade, but that is brand/model specific. + +Some examples: + +![farmerbot_bios_1|517x291](img/farmerbot_bios_1.jpeg) + +![farmerbot_bios_2|499x375](img/farmerbot_bios_2.jpeg) + +### ZOS Nodes and NIC + +All your ZOS nodes and their first NIC (ZOS/dmz) should be in the same network subnet (also called network segment or broadcast domain). + +This requires some basic network knowledge. WOL packets can not be send across different subnets by default, it can but this requires specific configuration on the firewall that connects the two subnets. Though cross-subnet WOL is currently not supported by the farmerbot. + +A 'magic' WOL packet is sent only on networking layer 2 (L2 or the 'data link layer') based on MAC address. So not on L3 based on ip address. This is why all nodes that should be brought up via WOL, need to be in the same subnet. + +You can check if this is the case like this: if for example one node has the ip 192.168.0.20/24, then all other nodes should have an ip between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254. You can calculate subnet ranges easely here: https://www.tunnelsup.com/subnet-calculator/ + +So for the 192.168.0.0/24 example, you can see the range under 'Usable Host Range': + +![farmerbot_bios_3|499x500](img/farmerbot_bios_3.png) + +### NIC Firmware and WOL + +Some NIC's require WOL to be set on the NIC firmware. + +This is fully handled by ZOS. Every time ZOS boots it will enable WOL on links if they require it. So if a ZOS node then is added to a farmerbot, it will have WOL enabled on its NIC when it's turned off (by the farmerbot). + +Your farmerbot can be run on any system, including on a node. It doesn't have to be on the same network subnet as the nodes from the farm. The nodes of the farm on the other hand have to be in the same LAN. Don't hesitate to ask your technical questions here, we and the community will help you set things up! + +## How to Move Your Farm to a Different Network + +Note that the Farmerbot is currently available for Dev Net, QA Net, Test Net and Main Net. Thus, it might not be necessary to move your farm to a different network. + +To move your farm to a different network, you need to create a new bootstrap image for the new network instead of your current network. You should also wipe your 3Nodes' disks before moving to a different network. + +To download the Zero-OS bootstrap image, go to the usual bootstrap link [https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf/](https://v3.bootstrap.grid.tf/) and select the network you want. + +![test_net|690x422](img/farmerbot_5.png) + +Once you have your new bootstrap image for the new network, [wipe your disks](../3node_building/4_wipe_all_disks.md), insert the new bootstrap image and reboot the 3Node. + +## The differences between power "state" and power "target" + +The target is what is set by the Farmerbot or can be set by the farmer manually on TF Chain. Power state can only be set by the node itself, in response to power targets it observes on chain. + + +## The differences between uptime, status and power state + +There are three distinctly named endpoints or fields that exist in the back end systems: + +* Uptime + * number of seconds the node was up, as of it's last uptime report. This is the same on GraphQL and Grid Proxy. +* Status + * this is a field that only exists on the Grid Proxy, which corresponds to whether the node sent an uptime report within the last 40 minutes. +* Power state + * this is a field that only exists on GraphQL, and it's the self reported power state of the node. This only goes to "down" if the node shut itself down at request of the Farmerbot. + +## The sequence of events for a node managed by the Farmerbot + +The sequence of events for a node managed by farmerbot should look like this: + +1. Node is online. Target, state, and status are all "Up". +2. Farmerbot sets node's target to "Down". +3. Node sets its state to "Down" and then shuts off. +4. Three hours later the status switches to "Down" because the node hasn't been updated. +5. At periodic wake up time, Farmerbot sets node's target to "Up". +6. Node receives WoL packet and starts booting. +7. After boot is complete, node sets its state to "Up" and also submits uptime report. +8. updatedAt is updated with time that uptime report was received and status changes to "Up". + +At that point the cycle is completed and will repeat. + +## The problematic states of a 3node set with the Farmerbot + +These are problematic states: + +1. Target is set to "Up" but state and status are "Down" for longer than normal boot time (node isn't responding). +2. Target has been set to "Down" for longer than ~23.5 hours (farmerbot isn't working properly). +3. Target is "Down" but state and status are up (Zos is potentially not responding to power target correctly). +4. State is "Up" but status is "Down" (node shutdown unexpectedly). + +## Using the ThreeFold Node Status Bot + +You can use the [ThreeFold Node Status Bot](https://t.me/tfnodestatusbot) to see the nodes' status in relation to the Farmerbot. + +## CPU overprovisioning + +In the context of the ThreeFold grid, overprovisioning a CPU means that you can allocate more than one deployment to one CPU. + +In relation to the Farmerbot, you can set a value between 1 and 4 of how much the CPU can be overprovisioned. For example, a value of 2 means that the Farmerbot can allocate up to 2 deployments to one CPU. + +## Seed phrase and HEX secret + +When setting up the Farmerbot, you will need to enter either the seed phrase or the HEX secret of your farm. For farms created in the TF Connect app, the HEX secret from the app is correct. For farms created in the TF Dashboard, you'll need the seed phrase provided when you created the account. + +## Farmerbot directory tree + +As a general template, the directory tree of the Farmerbot will look like this: + +``` +└── farmerbot_directory + ├── .env + └── conf.yml +``` + +## Dedicated Nodes and the Farmerbot + +Dedicated nodes are managed like any other node. Nodes marked as dedicated can only be rented completely. Whenever a user wants to rent a dedicated node the user sends a find_node job to the farmerbot. The farmerbot will find such a node, power it on if it is down and reserve the full node (for 30 minutes). The user can then proceed with creating a rent contract for that node. The farmerbot will get that information and keep that node powered on. It will no longer return that node as a possible node in future find_node jobs. Whenever the rent contract is canceled the farmerbot will notice this and shutdown the node if the resource usage allows it. + +## Periodic wakeup + +The minimum period between two nodes to be waken up is currently 5 minutes. This means that every 5 minutes a new node wakes up during the periodic wakeup. + +Once all nodes are awaken, they all shut down at the same time, except the node that stays awaken to wake up the other during the next periodic wake. + +## Time period between random wakeups and power target update + +The time period between a random wakeup and the moment the power target is set to down is between 30 minutes and one hour. + +Whenever a random wakeup is initiated, the Farmerbot will wait 30 minutes for the node to be up. Once the node is up, the Farmerbot will keep that node up for 30 minutes for the two following reasons: + +* The node can send uptime report +* If the node was put online for a given user deployment, this time priod gives ample time for the user to deploy their workload. + +This ensures an optimal user experience and reliablity in 3Nodes' reports. + +Note that each node managed by the Farmerbot will randomly wakeup on average 10 times a month. + +## Upgrade to the new Farmerbot + +If you are still running the old version of the Farmerbot (written in V), you can easily upgrade to the new Farmerbot (written in Go). You simply need to properly stop the old Farmerbot and then follow the new [Farmerbot guide](./farmerbot_quick.md). + +Here are the steps to properly stop the old Farmerbot. + +* Go to the diretory with the old Farmerbot docker files and fully stop the old Farmerbot: + ``` + docker compose rm -f -s -v + ``` +* You should also make sure that there are no containers left from the previous runs. First, list all containers: + ``` + docker container ls --all + ``` +* Then delete the remaining containers: + ``` + docker container rm -f -v NAME_OF_CONTAINER + ``` + +Once the old Farmerbot is properly stopped and deleted, follow the new [Farmerbot guide](./farmerbot_quick.md). + +## Set the Farmerbot without the mnemonics of a ThreeFold Dashboard account + +If you've lost the mnemonics associated with an account created on the ThreeFold Dashboard, it is still possible to set the Farmerbot with this account, but it's easier to simply create a new account and a new farm.

You need at least two 3Nodes on the same farm to make use of the Farmerbot. + +This version of the Farmerbot also works with ARM64. This means that if you have a Pi 3, 4, or Zero 2 with a 64 bit OS, you can download the appropriate release archive and it will work properly. + +Read the [Additional Information](farmerbot_information.md) section for further details concerning the Farmerbot. + +## Prerequisites + +- The TFChain account associated with the farm should have at least 5 TFT (recommended is 50 TFT) + +## Farmerbot Costs on the TFGrid + +If you run the Farmerbot on a 3Node on the TFGrid, you will have to pay TFT to deploy on that 3Node. You can run a full VM at minimum specs for the Farmerbot, that is 1vcore, 15GB of SSD storage and 512MB of RAM. Note that you can use the Planetary Network. You do not need to deploy a 3Node with IPv4. The cost on main net for this kind of workload is around 0.175TFT/hour (as of the date 11-07-23). + +Next to that, you will have to pay the transaction fees every time the Farmerbot has to wake up or shut down a node. This means that you need some TFT on the account tied to the twin of your farm. + +For the periodic wakeups, each node in the farm is shut down and powered on once a day, i.e. 30 times per month. Also, there is 10 random wakeups per month for each node. This means that each node is turned off and on 40 times per month in average. In that case, the average cost per month to power on nodes and shut them back down equals: + +> average transaction fees cost per month = 0.001 TFT (extrinsic fee) * amount of nodes * 40 * 2 (1 for powering down, one for powering up) + +## Enable Wake-On-Lan + +For a 3Node to work properly with the Farmerbot, the parameter wake-on-lan must be enabled.

We discuss topics such as air conditioner, relative humidity and air changes per hour. + +Planning ahead the building of your ThreeFold farm with these notions in mind will ensure a smooth farming experience. + + + +## Calculate the Minimum BTU/h Needed for the AC + +Let's see how to calculate how powerful your AC unit needs to be when it comes to cooling down your server room. + +As we know, servers generate heat when they are working. While a desktop 3Node will generate under 20W at idle and a server 3Node might use 100W at **idle**, when you pile up some 3Nodes desktops/servers in the same location, things can get pretty warm when cultivation on the Grid is happening. Indeed, when your servers will be using a lot of power, especially in the summer time, you might need some additional cooling. + +A good thing about servers generating heat is that this can be used as a **heat source in the winter**. Other more advanced techniques can be used to maximize the heat production. But that's for another day! + +Note that for small farms, your current heating and cooling system may suffice. + +So let's do the calculation: + +### How Much BTU/h is Needed? + + +How much BTU/h does your ThreeFold Farm need to cool your servers? + +Calculating this is pretty simple actually. You need to keep in mind that **1 kW (1000 W) of power is equivalent to 3413 BTU/h** (Britisth Thermal Unit). + +> 1000 W = 1 kW = 3413 BTU/h +> +> 1000 Wh = 1 kWh = 3413 BTU + +So with our idle server example running at 100W, we have 0.1 kW. + +> 100 W = 0.1 kW + +We then multiply our kW by the BTU/h factor **3413** to obtain the result in BTU/h. Here we have 341.3 BTU/h: + +> 0.1 kW * 3413 = 341.3 BTU/h + +Say you have 5 servers with this same configuration. It means you have + +> (# of servers) * (BTU/h per server) = Total BTU/h + +> 5 * 341.3 = 1706.5 BTU/h + +Thus, a 2000 BTU/h air conditioner would be able to compensate for the heat when your servers are at idle. + +> Note that in general for air conditioners, it will often be written BTU instead of BTU/h as a shorthand. + + +Please take note that this does not take into account the energy needed to cool down your environment. You'd need to take into consideration **the heat of the servers and the general heat of your environment** to figure out how much BTU your AC needs in the big heat days of the summer. + +### Taking Utilization Into Account + +But then, what happens at cultivation? Well, say your server needs 400W of power when it's being fully cultivated by some lively ThreeFold Users of the New Internet. In this case, we would say that 400 W is the power consumption at **full load**. + +As we started with 100 W, and we now have 400 W, it means that you'd need four times the amount of BTU/h. + +Here we show how to calculate this with any other configuration of full load/idle. + +> Full-load / Idle Ratio = Full Load W / Idle W + +> 4 = 400 W / 100 W + +The BTU/h needed in cultivation would be + +> (Full-Load / Idle Ratio) * Idle BTU/h needed = Full Load BTU/h + +> 4 * (1706.5 BTU/h at Idle) = 6826 BTU/h at Full Load + +Thus, you would need 6826 BTU/h from the AC unit for 5 servers running each at 400W. In that case, a 8000 BTU/h AC unit would be sufficient. Let's say your environment would typically need 4000 BTU/h to cool the room, you'd need about 12000 BTU/h AC unit for the whole setup. + +> If: BTU/h needed < BTU/h AC Unit, Then: AC Unit is OK for TF farming at full load. + + + +Now you can have a better idea of how much BTU/h is necessary for your AC unit. Of course, this can be a useful piece of data to incorporate in your simulation of Revenue/Cost farming. + +### The General BTU/h Equation + +The **general equation** would then be: + +> Server Power in kW at Full Load * 3413 * Number of Servers = Total Maximum BTU/h needed per ThreeFold Farm + + + +As another example, 7 servers using 120 W of power at idle would need: + +> 0.12 * 3413 * 7 = 2866.92 BTU/h + +During cultivation, these 7 servers might use 480 W. This would be: + +> 0.48 * 3413 * 7 = 11467.68 BTU/h + +To be sure everything's OK, this set up would need a 12 000 BTU/h AC unit to compensate for the heat generated by the ThreeFold Farm during full cultivation. This example considers the environment heat to be negligible. + +> 11467.68 < 12000 --> 12K BTU/h AC Unit is OK for farm + + +That's it! It ain't any more complicated. Straight up mathematics and some judgment. + +Now, let's compute the costs of running all this! + + + +## Ensure Proper Relative Humidity + +To ensure that the relative humidity in your server room stays within a proper range, look in your server's user manual to know the proper range of relative humidity your server can handle. If necessary, use an hygrometer to measure relative humidity and make sure it stays within an acceptable range for your 3Nodes. + +Depending on your geographical location and your current situation, it could be interesting to consider having a AC unit equipped with a dehumidifier. Read your servers' manual to check the proper relative humidity range and set the unit accordingly. The maximum/minimum temperature and relative humidity a 3Node server can handle will depend on the specific server/computer you are using. You should check the server's technical guide/manual to get the proper information. The following is an example. + +We will use here the Dell R720 as an example since it is a popular 3Node choice. In this case, we use the R720's [Technical Guide](https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-r720_reference-guide_en-us.pdf) as reference. + +For the R720, between 35˚C and 40˚C (or 95˚F and 104˚F), with 5% to 85% relative humidity, you can have this <10% of annual operating hours (around 36 days per year), and between 40˚C and 45˚C (or 104˚F and 113˚F), with 5 to 90% relative humidity, it’s <1% of annual operating hours (around 3.6 day per year). All this considers that there is no direct sunlight. + +From 10˚C to 35˚C (thus from 50˚F to 95˚F), it’s considered standard operating temperature. With relative humidity from 10% to 80%. + +This can give you a good idea of the conditions a 3Node can handle, but make sure you verify with your specific server's manual. + +## Ensure Proper Air Changes per Hour + +To ensure that the air changes per hour is optimal in your 3Node servers' room, and depending on your current situation, it can be recommended to ventilate the server room in other to disperse or evacuate excess heat and humidity. In those cases, ventilation flow will be set depending on the air changes per hour (ACPH) needed. Note that the [ASHRAE](https://www.ashrae.org/File%20Library/Technical%20Resources/Standards%20and%20Guidelines/Standards%20Addenda/62-2001/62-2001_Addendum-n.pdf) recommends from 10 to 15 ACPH for a computer room. + +> Note: A good AC unit will be able to regulate the heat and the relative humidity as well as ensure proper air changes per hour. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/farming_optimization/farming_costs.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/farming_optimization/farming_costs.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f10e6a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/farmers/farming_optimization/farming_costs.md @@ -0,0 +1,206 @@ +

The goal is to have a good idea of what constitutes a proper bandwidth available for a given amount of resources utilized on the ThreeFold Grid. + +Starting with a minimum of 1 mbps per Titan, which is 1 TB SSD and 32 GB RAM, we note that this is the lowest limit that gives the opportunity for the most people possible to join the ThreeFold Grid. That being said, we could set that 10 mbps is an acceptable upper limit for 1 TB SSD and 64 GB of RAM. + +Those numbers are empirical and more information will be shared in the future. The ratio 1TB SSD/64GB RAM is in tune with the optimal TFT rewards ratio. It is thus logical to think that farmers will build 3Node based on this ratio. Giving general bandwidth guidelines based on this ratio unit could thus be efficient for the current try-and-learn situation. + +### The Minimum Bandwidth per 3Node Equation + + +Here we explore some equations that can give a general idea to farmers of the bandwidth needed for their farms. As stated, this is not yet set in stones and the TFDAO will need to discuss and clarify those notions. + +Here is a general equation that gives you a good idea of a correct bandwidth for a 3Node: + +> min Bandwidth per 3Node (mbps) = k * max((Total SSD TB / 1 Tb),(Total Threads / 8 Threads),(Total GB / 64 GB)) + k * (Total HDD TB / 2) + +Setting k = 10 mbps, we have: + +> min Bandwidth per 3Node (mbps) = 10 * max((Total SSD TB / 1 TB),(Total Threads / 8 Threads),(Total GB / 64 GB)) + 10 * (Total HDD TB / 2) + +As an example, a Titan, with 1TB SSD, 8 Threads and 64 GB of RAM, would need 10 mbps: + +> 10 * max(1, 1, 1) = 10 * 1 = 10 + +With the last portion of the equation, we can see that for each additional 1TB HDD storage, you would need to add 5 mbps of bandwidth. + + +Let's take a big server as another example. Say we have a server with 5TB SSD, 48 threads and 384 GB of RAM. We would then need 60 mbps of bandwidth for each of these 3Nodes: + +> 10 * max((5/5), (48/8), (384/64)) = 10 * max(5,6,6) = 10 * 6 = 60 + +This server would need 60 mbps minimum to account for a full TF Grid utilization. + +You can easily scale this equation if you have many 3Nodes. + + + +Let's say you have a 1 gbps bandwidth from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). How much of those 3Nodes could your farm have? + +> Floor (Total available bandwidth / ((Bandwidth needed per 3Nodes)) = Max servers possible + +With our example we have: + +> 1000 / 60 = 16.66... = 16 + +We note that the function Floor takes the integer without the decimals. + +Thus, a 1 gbps bandwidth farm could have 16 3Nodes with each 5TB SSD, 48 threads and 384 GB of RAM. + + + +In this section, we used **k = 10 mbps**. If you follow those guidelines, you will most probably have a decent bandwidth for your ThreeFold farm. For the time being, the goal is to have farmers building ThreeFold farms and scale them reasonably with their available bandwidth. + +Stay tuned for official bandwidth parameters in the future. + + + +### Cost per Month for a Given Bandwidth + +Once you know the general bandwidth needed for your farm, you can check with your ISP the price per month and take this into account when calculating your monthly costs. + +Let's take the example we used with 5 servers with 400 W at Full Load. Let's say these 5 servers have the same parameters we used above here. We then need 60 gbps per 3Nodes. This means we need 300 mbps. For the sake of our example, let's say this is around 100$ USD per month. + + +## Calculate Total Cost and Revenue + + +As the TFT price is fixed for 60 months when you connect your 3Node for the first time on the TF Grid, we will use the period of 60 months, or 5 years, to calculate the total cost and revenue. + +The total cost is equal to: + +> Total Cost = Initial investment + 60 * (electricity + Internet costs per month) + +In our example, we can state that we paid each server 1500$ USD and that they generate each 3000 TFT per month, with an entry price of 0.08$ USD per TFT. + +The electricity cost per month is + +> 144$ for the electricity bill +> +> 100$ for the Internet bill +> +> Total : 244 $ monthly cost for electricity and Internet + +The revenues are + +> Revenues per month = Number of 3Nodes * TFT farmed per 3Node * Price TFT Sold + +In this example, we have 5 servers generating 2000 TFT per month at 0.08$ USD per TFT: + +> 5 * 3000$ * 0.08$ = 1200$ + +The net revenue per month are thus equal to + +> Net Revenue = Gross revenue - Monthly cost. + +We thus have + +> 1200$ - 244$ = 956$ + +This means that we generate a net profit of 956$ per month, without considering the initial investment of building the 3Nodes for the farm. + +In the previous AC example, we calculate that a minimum of 12K BTU was needed for the AC system. Let's say that this would mean buying a 350$ USD 12k BTU AC unit. + +The initial cost is the cost of all the 3Nodes plus the AC system. + +> Number of 3Nodes * cost per 3Nodes + Cost of AC system = Total Cost + +In this case, it would be: + +> Total initial investment = Number of 3Nodes * Cost of 3Node + Cost of AC system + +Then we'd have: + +> 5 * 1500 + 350 = 7850 $ + +Thus, a more realistic ROI would be: + +> Total initial investment / Net Revenue per Month = ROI in months + +In our case, we would have: + +> 7850$ / 956$ = Ceiling(8.211...) = 9 + +With the function Ceiling taking the upper integer, without any decimals. + +Then within 9 months, this farm would have paid itself and from now on, it would be only positive net revenue of 956$ per month. + +We note that this takes into consideration that we are using the AC system 24/7. This would surely not be the case in real life. This means that the real ROI would be even better. It is a common practice to do estimates with stricter parameters. If you predict being profitable with strict parameters, you will surely be profitable in real life, even when "things" happen and not everything goes as planned. As always, this is not financial advice. + +We recall that in the section [Calculate the ROI of a DIY 3Node](./calculate_roi.md), we found a simpler ROI of 6.25 months, say 7 months, that wasn't taking into consideration the additional costs of Internet and electricity. We now have a more realistic ROI of 9 months based on a fixed TFT price of 0.08$ USD.

This bridge enhances interoperability and expands the utility of TFT by allowing users to leverage the strengths of both platforms. With the bridge in place, TFT holders can convert their tokens from the Stellar network to the Ethereum network and vice versa, unlocking new possibilities for engagement with decentralized applications, smart contracts, and the vibrant Ethereum ecosystem. This bridge promotes liquidity, facilitates cross-chain transactions, and encourages collaboration between the Stellar and Ethereum communities. + +*** + +## TFT Ethereum-Stellar Bridge + +The easiest way to transfer TFT between Ethereum and Stellar is to use the [TFT Ethereum Bridge](https://bridge.eth.threefold.io). We present here the main steps on how to use this bridge. + +When you go to the [TFT Ethereum-Stellar bridge website](https://bridge.eth.threefold.io/), connect your Ethereum wallet. Then the bridge will present a QR code which you scan with your Stellar wallet. This will populate a transaction with the bridge wallet as the destination and an encoded form of your Ethereum address as the memo. The bridge will scan the transaction, decode the Ethereum wallet address, and deliver newly minted TFT on Ethereum, minus the bridge fees. + +For the reverse operation, going from Ethereum to Stellar, there is a smart contract interaction that burns TFT on Ethereum while embedding your Stellar wallet address. The bridge will scan that transaction and release TFT from its vault wallet to the specified Stellar address, again minus the bridge fees. + +Note that the contract address for TFT on Ethereum is the following: `0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b`. + +To see the ThreeFold Token on Etherscan, check [this link](https://etherscan.io/token/0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b). + +*** + +## TFT and Metamask + +The ThreeFold Token (TFT) is available on Ethereum. +It is implemented as a wrapped asset with the following token address: + +``` +0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b +``` + +We present here the basic steps to add TFT to Metamask. We also show how to buy TFT Metamask. Finally, we present the simple steps to use the [TFT Ethereum Bridge](https://bridge.eth.threefold.io/). + + +*** + +### Add TFT to Metamask + +Open Metamask and import the ThreeFold Token. First click on `import tokens`: + +![Metamask-Main|297x500](./img/tft_on_ethereum_image_1.png) + +Then, choose `Custom Token`: + +![Metamask-ImportToken|298x500](./img/tft_on_ethereum_image_2.png) + +To add the ThreeFold Token, paste its Ethereum address in the field `Token contract address field`. The address is the following: + +``` +0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b +``` + +Once you paste the TFT contract address, the parameter `Token symbol` should automatically be filled with `TFT`. + +Click on the button `Add Custom Token`. + +![Metamask-importCustomToken|297x500](./img/tft_on_ethereum_image_3.png) + +To confirm, click on the button `Import tokens`: + +![Metamask-ImporttokensQuestion|298x500](./img/tft_on_ethereum_image_4.png) + +TFT is now added to Metamask. + +*** + +### Buy TFT on Metamask + +Liquidity is present on Ethereum so you can use the "Swap" functionality from Metamask directly or go to [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap) to swap Ethereum, or any other token, to TFT. + +When using Uniswap, paste the TFT token address in the field `Select a token` to select TFT on Ethereum. The TFT token address is the following: + +``` +0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b +``` + +![Uniswap-selecttoken|315x500](./img/tft_on_ethereum_image_5.png) + +*** + +## Questions and Feedback

For this reason, TFT is a pure utility token as minting is solely the result of farming on the Threefold Grid. + +* To **farm** TFT, read the [complete farming guide](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-farming-guide-part-1/2989). + +* To **buy** TFT, follow this guide. + +There are many ways to buy TFT: + +* You can buy TFT on [Lobstr](https://lobstr.co/) + +* You can buy TFT at [GetTFT.com](https://gettft.com/gettft/) + +* You can buy TFT on [Pancake Swap](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?inputCurrency=BNB&outputCurrency=0x8f0FB159380176D324542b3a7933F0C2Fd0c2bbf) + +For the current guide, we will show how to buy TFT on the [Lobstr app](https://lobstr.co/). +The process is simple. + +Note that it is possible to do these steps without connecting the Lobstr wallet to the TF Connect App wallet. But doing this has a clear advantage: when we buy and swap on Lobstr, the TFT is directly accessible on the TF Connect app wallet. + +Here we go! + +*** + +## Download the App and Create an Account + +Go on [www.lobstr.co](https://www.lobstr.co) and download the Lobstr app. +You can download it for Android or iOS. + +![image](./img/gettft_1.png) + +We will show here the steps for Android, but it is very similar with iOS. +Once you've clicked on the Android button, you can click install on the Google Store page: + +![image](./img/gettft_2.png) + +Once the app is downloaded, open it: + +![image](./img/gettft_3.png) + +On the Lobstr app, click on **Create Account**: + +![image](./img/gettft_4.png) + +You will then need to enter your email address: + +![image](./img/gettft_5.png) + +Then, choose a safe password for your account: + +![image](./img/gettft_6.png) + +Once this is done, you will need to verify your email. + +Click on **Verify Email** and then go check your email inbox. + +![image](./img/gettft_7.png) + +Simply click on **Verify Email** on the email you've received. + +![image](./img/gettft_8.png) + +Once your email is verified, you can sign in to your Lobstr account: + +![image](./img/gettft_9.png) + +![image](./img/gettft_10.png) + +*** + +## Connect Your TF Connect App Wallet + +You will then need to either create a new wallet or connect an existing wallet. + +Since we are working on the Threefold ecosystem, it is very easy and practical to simply connect your Threefold Connect app wallet. You can also create a new wallet. + +Using the TF Connect wallet is very useful and quick. When you buy XLM and swap XLM tokens for TFTs, they will be directly available on your TF Connect app wallet. + +![image](./img/gettft_11.png) + +To connect your TF Connect app wallet, you will need to find your Stellar address and chain secret key. +This is very simple to do. + +Click on **I have a public or secret key**. + +![image](./img/gettft_12.png) + +As you can see on this next picture, you need the Stellar address and secret key to properly connect your TF Connect app wallet to Lobstr: + +![image](./img/gettft_18.png) + +To find your Stellar address and secret key, go on the TF Connect app and select the **Wallet** section: + +![image](./img/gettft_13.png) + +At the top of the section, click on the **copy** button to copy your Stellar Address: + +![image](./img/gettft_17.png) + +Now, we will find the Stellar secret key. +At the botton of the section, click on the encircled **i** button: + +![image](./img/gettft_14.png) + +Next, click on the **eye** button to reveal your secret key: + +![image](./img/gettft_15.png) + +You can now simply click on the **copy** button on the right: + +![image](./img/gettft_16.png) + +That's it! You've now connected your TF Connect app wallet to your Lobstr account. + +## Buy XLM with Fiat Currency + +Now, all we need to do, is buy XLM and then swap it for TFT. +It will be directly available in your TF Connect App wallet. + +On the Lobstr app, click on the top right menu button: + +![image](./img/gettft_19.png) + +Then, click on **Buy Crypto**: + +![image](./img/gettft_20.png) + +By default, the crypto selected is XLM. This is alright for us as we will quickly swap the XLM for TFT. + +On the Buy Crypto page, you can choose the type of Fiat currency you want. +By default it is in USD. To select some othe fiat currency, you can click on **ALL** and see the available fiat currencies: + +![image](./img/gettft_21.png) + +You can search or select the current you want for the transfer: + +![image](./img/gettft_22.png) + +You will then need to decide how much XLM you want to buy. Note that there can be a minimum amount. +Once you chose the desired amount, click on **Continue**. + +![image](./img/gettft_23.png) + +Lobstr will then ask you to proceed to a payment method. In this case, it is Moonpay. +Note that in some cases, your credit card won't accept Moonpay payments. You will simply need to confirm with them that you agree with transacting with Moonpay. This can be done by phone. Check with your bank and credit card company if this applies. + +![image](./img/gettft_24.png) + +Once you've set up your Moonpay payment method, you will need to process and confirm the transaction: + +![image](./img/gettft_25.png) +![image](./img/gettft_26.png) + +You will then see a processing window. +This process is usually fast. Within a few minutes, you should receive your XLM. + +![image](./img/gettft_27.png) + +Once the XLM is delivered, you will receive a notification: + +![image](./img/gettft_28.png) + +When your transaction is complete, you will see this message: + +![image](./img/gettft_29.png) + +On the Trade History page, you can choose to download the csv file version of your transaction: + +![image](./img/gettft_30.png) + +That's it! You've bought XLM on Lobstr and Moonpay. + +## Swap XLM for TFT + +Now we want to swap the XLM tokens for the Threefold tokens (TFT). +This is even easier than the previous steps. + +Go to the Lobstr Home menu and select **Swap**: + +![image](./img/gettft_31.png) + +On the **Swap** page, write "tft" and select the Threefold token: + +![image](./img/gettft_32.png) + +Select the amount of XLM you want to swap. It is recommended to keep at least 1 XLM in your wallet for transaction fees. + +![image](./img/gettft_33.png) + +Within a few seconds, you will receive a confirmation that your swap is completed: +Note that the TFT is directly sent on your TF Connect app wallet. + +![image](./img/gettft_34.png) + +That's it. You've swapped XLM for TFT. + +You can now use your TFT to deploy workloads on the Threefold Grid. diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/getstarted/TF_Token/tft_toc.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/getstarted/TF_Token/tft_toc.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2a25e32 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/getstarted/TF_Token/tft_toc.md @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +

It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms, and allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with other nodes on the network. Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet connectivity - it also works over IPv4. + +## Install + +Yggdrasil is necessary for communication between your local machine and the nodes on the Grid that you deploy to. Binaries and packages are available for all major operating systems, or it can be built from source. Find installation instructions here. + +After installation, you'll need to add at least one publicly available peer to your Yggdrasil configuration file. By default on Unix based systems, you'll find the file at `/etc/yggdrasil.conf`. To find peers, check this site, which compiles and displays the peer information available on Github. + +Add peers to your configuration file like so: + +``` +Peers: ["PEER_URL:PORT", "PEER_URL:PORT", ...] +``` + +Please consult [yggdrasil installation page](https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/installation.html) for more information and clients + +## Run + +### Linux + +On Linux with `systemd`, Yggdrasil can be started and enabled as a service, or run manually from the command line: + +``` +sudo yggdrasil -useconffile /etc/yggdrasil.conf +``` + +Get your IPv6 address with following command : + +``` +yggdrasilctl getSelf +``` + +### MacOS + +The MacOS package will automatically install and start the `launchd` service. After adding peers to your config file, restart Yggdrasil by stopping the service (it will be restarted automatically): + +``` +sudo launchctl stop yggdrasil +``` + +Get your IPv6 address with following command : + +``` +sudo yggdrasilctl getSelf +``` + +## Test Connectivity + +To ensure that you have successfully connected to the Yggdrasil network, try loading the site in your browser: + +``` +http://[319:3cf0:dd1d:47b9:20c:29ff:fe2c:39be]/ +``` + +## Firewalls + +Creating deployments on the Grid also requires that nodes can reach your machine as well.

Data Packet

+ +

Table of Contents

+ +- [Introduction](#introduction) +- [Packet Header](#packet-header) +- [Body](#body) + +*** + +## Introduction + + +A `data packet` contains user specified data. This can be any data, as long as the sender and receiver +both understand what it is, without further help. Intermediate hops, which route the data have sufficient +information with the header to know where to forward the packet. In practice, the data will be encrypted +to avoid eavesdropping by intermediate hops. + +## Packet Header + +The packet header has a fixed size of 36 bytes, with the following layout: + +``` + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +|Reserved | Length | Hop Limit | ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +| | ++ + +| | ++ Source IP + +| | ++ + +| | ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +| | ++ + +| | ++ Destination IP + +| | ++ + +| | ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +``` + +The first 5 bits are reserved and must be set to 0. + +The next 19 bits are used to specify the length of the body. It is expected that +the actual length of a packet does not exceed 256K right now, so the 19th bit is +only needed because we have to account for some overhead related to the encryption. + +The next byte is the hop-limit. Every node decrements this value by 1 before sending +the packet. If a node decrements this value to 0, the packet is discarded. + +The next 16 bytes contain the sender IP address. + +The final 16 bytes contain the destination IP address. + +## Body + +Following the header is a variable length body.

The private key of this key pair +is saved in a local file (32 bytes in binary format). You can specify the path to this file with the +`-k` flag. By default, the file is saved in the current working directory as `priv_key.bin`. + +## Running without TUN interface + +It is possible to run the system without creating a TUN interface, by starting with the `--no-tun` flag. +Obviously, this means that your node won't be able to send or receive L3 traffic. There is no interface +to send packets on, and consequently no interface to send received packets out of. From the point of +other nodes, your node will simply drop all incoming L3 traffic destined for it. The node **will still +route traffic** as normal. It takes part in routing, exchanges route info, and forwards packets not +intended for itself. + +The node also still allows access to the [message subsystem](#message-system). + +## API + +The node starts an HTTP API, which by default listens on `localhost:8989`. A different listening address +can be specified on the CLI when starting the system through the `--api-server-addr` flag. The API +allows access to [send and receive messages](#message-system), and will later be expanded to allow +admin functionality on the system. Note that message are sent using the identity of the node, and a +future admin API can be used to change the system behavior. As such, care should be taken that this +API is not accessible to unauthorized users. + +## Message System + +A message system is provided which allows users to send a message, which is essentially just "some data" +to a remote. Since the system is end-to-end encrypted, a receiver of a message is sure of the authenticity +and confidentiality of the content. The system does not interpret the data in any way and handles it +as an opaque block of bytes. Messages are sent with a deadline. This means the system continuously +tries to send (part of) the message, until it either succeeds, or the deadline expires. This happens +similar to the way TCP handles data. Messages are transmitted in chunks, which are embedded in the +same data stream used by L3 packets. As such, intermediate nodes can't distinguish between regular L3 +and message data. + +The primary way to interact with the message system is through [the API](#API). The message API is +documented in [here](./api_yaml.md). For some more info about how to +use the message system, see [the Message section](./message.md). + + +## Inspecting Node Keys + +Using the `inspect` subcommand, you can view the address associated with a public key. If no public key is provided, the node will show +its own public key. In either case, the derived address is also printed. You can specify the path to the private key with the `-k` flag. +If the file does not exist, a new private key will be generated. The optional `--json` flag can be used to print the information in json +format. + +```sh +mycelium inspect a47c1d6f2a15b2c670d3a88fbe0aeb301ced12f7bcb4c8e3aa877b20f8559c02 +``` + +Where the output could be something like this: + +```sh +Public key: a47c1d6f2a15b2c670d3a88fbe0aeb301ced12f7bcb4c8e3aa877b20f8559c02 +Address: 27f:b2c5:a944:4dad:9cb1:da4:8bf7:7e65 +``` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/mycelium/installation.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/mycelium/installation.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7f403c2 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/mycelium/installation.md @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ + +

Message Subsystem

+ +

Table of Contents

+ +- [Introduction](#introduction) +- [Curl Examples](#curl-examples) +- [Mycelium Binary Examples](#mycelium-binary-examples) + +*** + +## Introduction + +The message subsystem can be used to send arbitrary length messages to receivers. A receiver is any +other node in the network. It can be identified both by its public key, or an IP address in its announced +range. The message subsystem can be interacted with both via the HTTP API, which is +[documented here](./api_yaml.md), or via the `mycelium` binary. By default, the messages do not interpret +the data in any way. When using the binary, the message is slightly modified to include an optional +topic at the start of the message. Note that in the HTTP API, all messages are encoded in base64. This +might make it difficult to consume these messages without additional tooling. + +## Curl Examples + +These examples assume you have at least 2 nodes running, and that they are both part of the same network. + +Send a message on node1, waiting up to 2 minutes for a possible reply: + +```bash +curl -v -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"dst": {"pk": "bb39b4a3a4efd70f3e05e37887677e02efbda14681d0acd3882bc0f754792c32"}, "payload": "xuV+"}' http://localhost:8989/api/v1/messages\?reply_timeout\=120 +``` + +Listen for a message on node2. Note that messages received while nothing is listening are added to +a queue for later consumption. Wait for up to 1 minute. + +```bash +curl -v http://localhost:8989/api/v1/messages\?timeout\=60\ +``` + +The system will (immediately) receive our previously sent message: + +```json +{"id":"e47b25063912f4a9","srcIp":"34f:b680:ba6e:7ced:355f:346f:d97b:eecb","srcPk":"955bf6bea5e1150fd8e270c12e5b2fc08f08f7c5f3799d10550096cc137d671b","dstIp":"2e4:9ace:9252:630:beee:e405:74c0:d876","dstPk":"bb39b4a3a4efd70f3e05e37887677e02efbda14681d0acd3882bc0f754792c32","payload":"xuV+"} +``` + +To send a reply, we can post a message on the reply path, with the received message `id` (still on +node2): + +```bash +curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"dst": {"pk":"955bf6bea5e1150fd8e270c12e5b2fc08f08f7c5f3799d10550096cc137d671b"}, "payload": "xuC+"}' http://localhost:8989/api/v1/messages/reply/e47b25063912f4a9 +``` + +If you did this fast enough, the initial sender (node1) will now receive the reply. + +## Mycelium Binary Examples + +As explained above, while using the binary the message is slightly modified to insert the optional +topic. As such, when using the binary to send messages, it is suggested to make sure the receiver is +also using the binary to listen for messages. The options discussed here are not covering all possibilities, +use the `--help` flag (`mycelium message send --help` and `mycelium message receive --help`) for a +full overview. + +Once again, send a message. This time using a topic (example.topic). Note that there are no constraints +on what a valid topic is, other than that it is valid UTF-8, and at most 255 bytes in size. The `--wait` +flag can be used to indicate that we are waiting for a reply. If it is set, we can also use an additional +`--timeout` flag to govern exactly how long (in seconds) to wait for. The default is to wait forever. + +```bash +mycelium message send 2e4:9ace:9252:630:beee:e405:74c0:d876 'this is a message' -t example.topic --wait +``` + +On the second node, listen for messages with this topic. If a different topic is used, the previous +message won't be received. If no topic is set, all messages are received. An optional timeout flag +can be specified, which indicates how long to wait for. Absence of this flag will cause the binary +to wait forever. + +```bash +mycelium message receive -t example.topic +``` + +Again, if the previous command was executed a message will be received immediately: + +```json +{"id":"4a6c956e8d36381f","topic":"example.topic","srcIp":"34f:b680:ba6e:7ced:355f:346f:d97b:eecb","srcPk":"955bf6bea5e1150fd8e270c12e5b2fc08f08f7c5f3799d10550096cc137d671b","dstIp":"2e4:9ace:9252:630:beee:e405:74c0:d876","dstPk":"bb39b4a3a4efd70f3e05e37887677e02efbda14681d0acd3882bc0f754792c32","payload":"this is a message"} +``` + +And once again, we can use the ID from this message to reply to the original sender, who might be waiting +for this reply (notice we used the hex encoded public key to identify the receiver here, rather than an IP): + +```bash +mycelium message send 955bf6bea5e1150fd8e270c12e5b2fc08f08f7c5f3799d10550096cc137d671b "this is a reply" --reply-to 4a6c956e8d36381f +``` diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/mycelium/mycelium_toc.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/mycelium/mycelium_toc.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..817771d --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/mycelium/mycelium_toc.md @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ + +

You can now execute `make run` to bring the infrastructure up. + +## Kubernetes + +We now see how to deploy a [Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi](https://github.com/threefoldtech/pulumi-provider-grid/blob/development/examples/kubernetes/Pulumi.yaml). + +```yaml + content was removed for brevity + kubernetes: + type: grid:internal:Kubernetes + options: + provider: ${provider} + dependsOn: + - ${network} + properties: + master: + name: kubernetes + node: ${scheduler.nodes[0]} + disk_size: 2 + planetary: true + cpu: 2 + memory: 2048 + + workers: + - name: worker1 + node: ${scheduler.nodes[0]} + disk_size: 2 + cpu: 2 + memory: 2048 + - name: worker2 + node: ${scheduler.nodes[0]} + disk_size: 2 + cpu: 2 + memory: 2048 + + token: t123456789 + network_name: test + ssh_key: + +outputs: + node_deployment_id: ${kubernetes.node_deployment_id} + ygg_ip: ${kubernetes.master_computed.ygg_ip} +``` + +Now, we define the Kubernetes resource `grid:internal:Kubernetes` that has master and workers blocks. You define almost everything like a normal VM except for the FLiist. Also note that the token is the `cluster token`. This will ensure that the workers and the master communicate properly. + +## Creating a Domain + +The ThreeFold Pulumi repository also covers examples on [how to work with TFGrid gateways](https://github.com/threefoldtech/pulumi-provider-grid/blob/development/examples/gateway_name/Pulumi.yaml). + +The basic idea is that you have a virtual machine workload on a specific IP, e.g. public IPv4, IPv6, or Planetary Network, and you want to access it using domains. + +There are two versions to achieve this, a simple and a fully controlled version. + +- Simple domain version: + - subdomain.gent01.dev.grid.tf + - This is a generous service from ThreeFold to reserve a subdomain on a set of defined gateway domains like **gent01.dev.grid.tf**. +- Fully controlled domain version: + - e.g. `mydomain.com` where you manage the domain with the name provider. + +### Example of a Simple Domain Prefix + +We present here the file for a simple domain prefix. + +```yml + content was removed for brevity + scheduler: + type: grid:internal:Scheduler + options: + provider: ${provider} + properties: + mru: 256 + farm_ids: [1] + ipv4: true + free_ips: 1 + + gatewayName: + type: grid:internal:GatewayName + options: + provider: ${provider} + dependsOn: + - ${scheduler} + properties: + name: pulumi + node_id: ${scheduler.nodes[0]} + backends: + - "http://69.164.223.208" + +outputs: + node_deployment_id: ${gatewayName.node_deployment_id} + fqdn: ${gatewayName.fqdn} + +``` + +In this example, we create a gateway name resource `grid:internal:GatewayName` for the name `pulumi.gent01.dev.grid.tf`. + +Some things to note: + +- **pulumi** is the prefix we want to reserve. +- It's assuming that the gateway domain we received by scheduler was the one managed by freefarm `gent01.dev.grid.tf`. +- **backends:** defines a list of IPs to load balance against when a request for `pulumi.gent01.dev.grid.tf` is received on the gateway. + +### Example of a Fully Controlled Domain + +Here's an [example](https://github.com/threefoldtech/pulumi-provider-grid/blob/development/examples/gateway_fqdn/Pulumi.yaml) of a more complicated, but fully controlled domain. + +```yml + code removed for brevity + gatewayFQDN: + type: grid:internal:GatewayFQDN + options: + provider: ${provider} + dependsOn: + - ${deployment} + properties: + name: testing + node_id: 14 + fqdn: mydomain.com + backends: + - http://[${deployment.vms_computed[0].ygg_ip}]:9000 +``` + +Here, we informed the gateway that any request coming for the domain `mydomain.com` needs to be balanced through the backends. + +> Note: You need to create an A record for your domain (here `mydomain.com`) pointing to the gateway IP. + +## Conclusion + +We covered in this guide some basic details concerning the use of the ThreeFold Pulumi plugin. + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Grid Tester Community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) on Telegram. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/pulumi/pulumi_examples.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/pulumi/pulumi_examples.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..73363c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/pulumi/pulumi_examples.md @@ -0,0 +1,89 @@ +

It is based on a peer-to-peer network of nodes that are distributed around the world. + +[Pulumi](https://www.pulumi.com/) is a cloud-native infrastructure as code (IaC) platform that allows developers to manage their infrastructure using code. It supports a wide range of cloud providers, including ThreeFold Grid. + +The [Pulumi plugin for ThreeFold Grid](https://github.com/threefoldtech/pulumi-provider-grid) provides developers with a way to deploy and manage their ThreeFold Grid resources using Pulumi. This means that developers can benefit from all of the features and benefits that Pulumi offers, such as cross-cloud support, type safety, preview and diff, and parallel execution -still in the works-. + +Please note that the Pulumi plugin for ThreeFold Grid is not yet officially published. We look forward to your feedback on this project. + +## Benefits of Using Pulumi + +Here are some additional benefits of using the Pulumi plugin for ThreeFold Grid: + +- Increased productivity: Pulumi allows developers to manage their infrastructure using code, which can significantly increase their productivity. +- Reduced errors: Pulumi's type safety and preview and diff features can help developers catch errors early, which can reduce the number of errors that occur in production. +- Improved collaboration: Pulumi programs can be shared with other developers, which can make it easier to collaborate on infrastructure projects. + +The Pulumi plugin for ThreeFold Grid is a powerful tool that can be used to deploy and manage a wide range of ThreeFold Grid applications. It is a good choice for developers who want to manage their ThreeFold Grid infrastructure using code and benefit from all of the features and benefits that Pulumi offers. + +## Declarative vs. Imperative Programming + +Declarative programming and imperative programming are two different ways to write code. Declarative programming focuses on describing the desired outcome, while imperative programming focuses on describing the steps needed to achieve that outcome. + +In the context of infrastructure as code (IaC), declarative programming allows you to describe your desired infrastructure state, and the IaC tool will figure out how to achieve it. Imperative programming, on the other hand, requires you to describe the steps needed to create and configure your infrastructure. + +### Declaration Programming Example + +Say I want an infrastructure of two virtual machines with X disks. The following would happen: + +1. Connect to the backend services. +2. Send the requests to create the virtual machines. +3. Sign the requests. +4. Execute the requests in a careful order. + +As you can see, the declarative code is much simpler and easier to read. It also makes it easier to make changes to your infrastructure, as you only need to change the desired state, and the IaC tool will figure out how to achieve it. + +### Benefits of declarative programming in IaC + +There are several benefits to using declarative programming in IaC: + +- Simpler code: Declarative code is simpler and easier to read than imperative code. This is because declarative code focuses on describing the desired outcome, rather than the steps needed to achieve it. +- More concise code: Declarative code is also more concise than imperative code. This is because declarative code does not need to specify the steps needed to achieve the desired outcome. +- Easier to make changes: Declarative code makes it easier to make changes to your infrastructure. This is because you only need to change the desired state, and the IaC tool will figure out how to achieve it. +- More reliable code: Declarative code is more reliable than imperative code. This is because declarative code does not need to worry about the order in which the steps are executed. The IaC tool will take care of that. + +We will be taking a look at a couple of examples, I'll be linking the source directory of the example and go through it, but first let's go through some concepts first + +## Concepts + +### Pulumi Project + +A Pulumi project is any folder that contains a **Pulumi.yaml** file. When in a subfolder, the closest enclosing folder with a **Pulumi.yaml** file determines the current project. A new project can be created with pulumi new. A project specifies which runtime to use and determines where to look for the program that should be executed during deployments. Supported runtimes are nodejs, python, dotnet, go, java, and yaml. + +### Project File + +The **Pulumi.yaml** project file specifies metadata about your project. The project file must begin with a capitalized P, although either a **.yml** or **.yaml** extension will work. + +A typical Pulumi.yaml file looks like the following: + +```yaml +name: my-project +runtime: + name: go + options: + binary: mybinary +description: A minimal Go Pulumi program +``` + +or + +```yaml +name: my-project +runtime: yaml +resources: + bucket: + type: aws:s3:Bucket + +``` + +For more on project or project files, please check the [Pulumi documentation](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/projects/). + +### Stacks + +Every Pulumi program is deployed to a [stack](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/stack/). A stack is an isolated, independently configurable instance of a Pulumi program. Stacks are commonly used to denote different phases of development (such as development, staging, and production) or feature branches (such as feature-x-dev). + +A project can have as many stacks as you need. By default, Pulumi creates a stack for you when you start a new project using the **pulumi new** command. + +### Resources + +Resources represent the fundamental units that make up your cloud infrastructure, such as a compute instance, a storage bucket, or a Kubernetes cluster. + +All infrastructure resources are described by one of two subclasses of the Resource class. These two subclasses are: + +- CustomResource: A custom resource is a cloud resource managed by a resource provider such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or Kubernetes. +- ComponentResource: A component resource is a logical grouping of other resources that creates a larger, higher-level abstraction that encapsulates its implementation details. + +Here's an example: + +```yaml +resources: + res: + type: the:resource:Type + properties: ...args + options: ...options +``` + +## Questions and Feedback + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Grid Tester Community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) on Telegram. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/pulumi/pulumi_readme.md b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/pulumi/pulumi_readme.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0cc318c --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/documentation/system_administrators/pulumi/pulumi_readme.md @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +

Any change in one VM's database will be echoed in the other VM's database. This kind of deployment can lead to useful server architectures. + + + +# Main Steps + +This guide might seems overwhelming, but the steps are carefully explained. Take your time and it will all work out! + +To get an overview of the whole process, we present the main steps: + +* Download the dependencies +* Find two 3Nodes on the TFGrid +* Deploy and set the VMs with Terraform +* Create a MariaDB database +* Set GlusterFS + + + +# Prerequisites + +* [Install Terraform](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/downloads) +* [Install Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/install/) + +You need to download and install properly Terraform and Wireguard on your local computer. Simply follow the documentation depending on your operating system (Linux, MAC and Windows). + + + +# Find Nodes with the ThreeFold Explorer + +We first need to decide on which 3Nodes we will be deploying our workload. + +We thus start by finding two 3Nodes with sufficient resources. For this current MariaDB guide, we will be using 1 CPU, 2 GB of RAM and 50 GB of storage. We are also looking for a 3Node with a public IPv4 address. + +* Go to the ThreeFold Grid [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/deploy/node-finder/) (Main Net) +* Find a 3Node with suitable resources for the deployment and take note of its node ID on the leftmost column `ID` +* For proper understanding, we give further information on some relevant columns: + * `ID` refers to the node ID + * `Free Public IPs` refers to available IPv4 public IP addresses + * `HRU` refers to HDD storage + * `SRU` refers to SSD storage + * `MRU` refers to RAM (memory) + * `CRU` refers to virtual cores (vcores) +* To quicken the process of finding proper 3Nodes, you can narrow down the search by adding filters: + * At the top left of the screen, in the `Filters` box, select the parameter(s) you want. + * For each parameter, a new field will appear where you can enter a minimum number requirement for the 3Nodes. + * `Free SRU (GB)`: 50 + * `Free MRU (GB)`: 2 + * `Total CRU (Cores)`: 1 + * `Free Public IP`: 2 + * Note: if you want a public IPv4 address, it is recommended to set the parameter `FREE PUBLIC IP` to at least 2 to avoid false positives. This ensures that the shown 3Nodes have viable IP addresses. + +Once you've found a proper node, take node of its node ID. You will need to use this ID when creating the Terraform files. + + + +# Set the VMs +## Create a Two Servers Wireguard VPN with Terraform + +For this guide, we use two files to deploy with Terraform. The first file contains the environment variables and the second file contains the parameters to deploy our workloads. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The `main.tf` file contains the environment variables (e.g. `var.size` for the disk size) and thus you do not need to change this file. +Of course, you can adjust the deployment based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the `main.tf` as is. + +On your local computer, create a new folder named `terraform` and a subfolder called `deployment-synced-db`. In the subfolder, store the files `main.tf` and `credentials.auto.tfvars`. + +Modify the variable files to take into account your own seed phras and SSH keys. You should also specifiy the node IDs of the two 3Nodes you will be deploying on. + + + +### Create the Terraform Files + +Open the terminal. + +* Go to the home folder + * ``` + cd ~ + ``` + +* Create the folder `terraform` and the subfolder `deployment-synced-db`: + * ``` + mkdir -p terraform/deployment-synced-db + ``` + * ``` + cd terraform/deployment-synced-db + ``` +* Create the `main.tf` file: + * ``` + nano main.tf + ``` + +* Copy the `main.tf` content and save the file. + +``` +terraform { + required_providers { + grid = { + source = "threefoldtech/grid" + } + } +} + +variable "mnemonics" { + type = string +} + +variable "SSH_KEY" { + type = string +} + +variable "tfnodeid1" { + type = string +} + +variable "tfnodeid2" { + type = string +} + +variable "size" { + type = string +} + +variable "cpu" { + type = string +} + +variable "memory" { + type = string +} + +provider "grid" { + mnemonics = var.mnemonics + network = "main" +} + +locals { + name = "tfvm" +} + +resource "grid_network" "net1" { + name = local.name + nodes = [var.tfnodeid1, var.tfnodeid2] + ip_range = "10.1.0.0/16" + description = "newer network" + add_wg_access = true +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d1" { + disks { + name = "disk1" + size = var.size + } + name = local.name + node = var.tfnodeid1 + network_name = grid_network.net1.name + vms { + name = "vm1" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/ubuntu-22.04.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + memory = var.memory + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + publicip = true + planetary = true + } +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d2" { + disks { + name = "disk2" + size = var.size + } + name = local.name + node = var.tfnodeid2 + network_name = grid_network.net1.name + + vms { + name = "vm2" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/ubuntu-22.04.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + mounts { + disk_name = "disk2" + mount_point = "/disk2" + } + memory = var.memory + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + publicip = true + planetary = true + } +} + +output "wg_config" { + value = grid_network.net1.access_wg_config +} +output "node1_zmachine1_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ip +} +output "node1_zmachine2_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].ip +} + +output "ygg_ip1" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ygg_ip +} +output "ygg_ip2" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].ygg_ip +} + +output "ipv4_vm1" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].computedip +} + +output "ipv4_vm2" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].computedip +} + +``` + +In this file, we name the first VM as `vm1` and the second VM as `vm2`.

The Terraform deployment will be composed of a virtual private network (VPN) using [Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/). The two VMs will thus be connected in a private and secure network. Once this is done, we will link the two VMs together by setting up a [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/) database and using [GlusterFS](https://www.gluster.org/). Then, we will install and deploy Nextcloud. We will add a DDNS (dynamic DNS) domain to the Nextcloud deployment. It will then be possible to connect to the Nextcloud instance over public internet. Nextcloud will be available over your computer and even your smart phone! We will also set HTTPS for the DDNS domain in order to make the Nextcloud instance as secure as possible. You are free to explore different DDNS options. In this guide, we will be using [DuckDNS](https://www.duckdns.org/) for simplicity. + +The advantage of this redundant Nextcloud deployment is obvious: if one of the two VMs goes down, the Nextcloud instance will still be accessible, as the other VM will take the lead. Also, the two VMs will be continually synced in real-time. If the master node goes down, the data will be synced to the worker node, and the worker node will become the master node. Once the master VM goes back online, the data will be synced to the master node and the master node will retake the lead as the master node. + +This kind of real-time backup of the database is not only limited to Nextcloud. You can use the same architecture to deploy different workloads while having the redundancy over two 3node servers. This architecture could be deployed over more than two 3nodes. Feel free to explore and let us know in the [Threefold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) if you come up with exciting and different variations of this kind of deployment. + +As always, if you have questions concerning this guide, you can write a post on the [Threefold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/). + +Let's go! + + + +# Main Steps + +This guide might seem overwhelming, but the steps are carefully explained. Take your time and it will all work out! + +To get an overview of the whole process, we present the main steps: + +* Download the dependencies +* Find two 3nodes on the TF Grid +* Deploy and set the VMs with Terraform +* Create a MariaDB database +* Download and set GlusterFS +* Install PHP and Nextcloud +* Create a subdomain with DuckDNS +* Set Apache +* Access Nextcloud +* Add HTTPS protection +* Set a firewall + + + +# Prerequisites + +* [Install Terraform](../terraform_install.md) +* [Install Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/install/) + +You need to download and install properly Terraform and Wireguard on your local computer. Simply follow the documentation depending on your operating system (Linux, MAC and Windows). + + + +# Find Nodes with the ThreeFold Explorer + +We first need to decide on which 3Nodes we will be deploying our workload. + +We thus start by finding two 3Nodes with sufficient resources. For this current Nextcloud guide, we will be using 1 CPU, 2 GB of RAM and 50 GB of storage. We are also looking for 3Nodes with each a public IPv4 address. + +* Go to the ThreeFold Grid [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/deploy/node-finder/) (Main Net) +* Find two 3Nodes with suitable resources for the deployment and take note of their node IDs on the leftmost column `ID` +* For proper understanding, we give further information on some relevant columns: + * `ID` refers to the node ID + * `Free Public IPs` refers to available IPv4 public IP addresses + * `HRU` refers to HDD storage + * `SRU` refers to SSD storage + * `MRU` refers to RAM (memory) + * `CRU` refers to virtual cores (vcores) +* To quicken the process of finding proper 3Nodes, you can narrow down the search by adding filters: + * At the top left of the screen, in the `Filters` box, select the parameter(s) you want. + * For each parameter, a new field will appear where you can enter a minimum number requirement for the 3Nodes. + * `Free SRU (GB)`: 50 + * `Free MRU (GB)`: 2 + * `Total CRU (Cores)`: 1 + * `Free Public IP`: 2 + * Note: if you want a public IPv4 address, it is recommended to set the parameter `FREE PUBLIC IP` to at least 2 to avoid false positives. This ensures that the shown 3Nodes have viable IP addresses. + +Once you've found two 3Nodes, take note of their node IDs. You will need to use those IDs when creating the Terraform files. + + + +# Set the VMs +## Create a Two Servers Wireguard VPN with Terraform + +For this guide, we use two files to deploy with Terraform. The first file contains the environment variables and the second file contains the parameters to deploy our workloads. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The `main.tf` file contains the environment variables (e.g. `var.size` for the disk size) and thus you do not need to change this file. Of course, you can adjust the deployment based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the `main.tf` as is. + +On your local computer, create a new folder named `terraform` and a subfolder called `deployment-nextcloud`. In the subfolder, store the files `main.tf` and `credentials.auto.tfvars`. + +Modify the variable files to take into account your own seed phrase and SSH keys. You should also specifiy the node IDs of the two 3nodes you will be deploying on. + +### Create the Terraform Files + +Open the terminal. + +* Go to the home folder + * ``` + cd ~ + ``` + +* Create the folder `terraform` and the subfolder `deployment-nextcloud`: + * ``` + mkdir -p terraform/deployment-nextcloud + ``` + * ``` + cd terraform/deployment-nextcloud + ``` +* Create the `main.tf` file: + * ``` + nano main.tf + ``` + +* Copy the `main.tf` content and save the file. + +``` +terraform { + required_providers { + grid = { + source = "threefoldtech/grid" + } + } +} + +variable "mnemonics" { + type = string +} + +variable "SSH_KEY" { + type = string +} + +variable "tfnodeid1" { + type = string +} + +variable "tfnodeid2" { + type = string +} + +variable "size" { + type = string +} + +variable "cpu" { + type = string +} + +variable "memory" { + type = string +} + +provider "grid" { + mnemonics = var.mnemonics + network = "main" +} + +locals { + name = "tfvm" +} + +resource "grid_network" "net1" { + name = local.name + nodes = [var.tfnodeid1, var.tfnodeid2] + ip_range = "10.1.0.0/16" + description = "newer network" + add_wg_access = true +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d1" { + disks { + name = "disk1" + size = var.size + } + name = local.name + node = var.tfnodeid1 + network_name = grid_network.net1.name + vms { + name = "vm1" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/ubuntu-22.04.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + memory = var.memory + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + publicip = true + planetary = true + } +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d2" { + disks { + name = "disk2" + size = var.size + } + name = local.name + node = var.tfnodeid2 + network_name = grid_network.net1.name + + vms { + name = "vm2" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/ubuntu-22.04.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + mounts { + disk_name = "disk2" + mount_point = "/disk2" + } + memory = var.memory + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + publicip = true + planetary = true + } +} + +output "wg_config" { + value = grid_network.net1.access_wg_config +} +output "node1_zmachine1_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ip +} +output "node1_zmachine2_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].ip +} + +output "ygg_ip1" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ygg_ip +} +output "ygg_ip2" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].ygg_ip +} + +output "ipv4_vm1" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].computedip +} + +output "ipv4_vm2" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].computedip +} + +``` + +In this file, we name the first VM as `vm1` and the second VM as `vm2`.

We use 7z to track progress: + * ``` + apt install p7zip-full -y + ``` + * ``` + 7z x nextcloud-27.0.1.zip -o/var/www/ + ``` + +* After the download, see if the Nextcloud file is there on the worker VM: + * ``` + ls + ``` + +* Then, we grant permissions to the folder. Do this on both the master VM and the worker VM. + * ``` + chown www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud/ -R + ``` + + + +# Create a Subdomain with DuckDNS + +We want to create a subdomain to access Nextcloud over the public internet. + +For this guide, we use DuckDNS to create a subdomain for our Nextcloud deployment. Note that this can be done with other services. We use DuckDNS for simplicity. We invite users to explore other methods as they see fit. + +We create a public subdomain with DuckDNS. To set DuckDNS, you simply need to follow the steps on their website. Make sure to do this for both VMs. + +* First, sign in on the website: [https://www.duckdns.org/](https://www.duckdns.org/). +* Then go to [https://www.duckdns.org/install.jsp](https://www.duckdns.org/install.jsp) and follow the steps. For this guide, we use `linux cron` as the operating system. + +Hint: make sure to save the DuckDNS folder in the home menu. Write `cd ~` before creating the folder to be sure. + +## Worker File for DuckDNS + +In our current scenario, we want to make sure the master VM stays the main IP address for the DuckDNS subdomain as long as the master VM is online. To do so, we add an `if` statement in the worker VM's `duck.sh` file. The process is as follow: the worker VM will ping the master VM and if it sees that the master VM is offline, it will run the command to update DuckDNS's subdomain with the worker VM's IP address. When the master VM goes back online, it will run the `duck.sh` file within 5 minutes and the DuckDNS's subdomain will be updated with the master VM's IP address. + +The content of the `duck.sh` file for the worker VM is the following. Make sure to replace the line `echo ...` with the line provided by DuckDNS and to replace `mastervm_IPv4_address` with the master VM's IP address. + +``` +ping -c 2 mastervm_IPv4_address + +if [ $? != 0 ] +then + + echo url="https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=exampledomain&token=a7c4d0ad-114e-40ef-ba1d-d217904a50f2&ip=" | curl -k -o ~/duckdns/duck.log -K - + +fi + +``` + +Note: When the master VM goes offline, after 5 minutes maximum DuckDNS will change the IP address from the master’s to the worker’s. Without clearing the DNS cache, your browser might have some difficulties connecting to the updated IP address when reaching the URL `subdomain.duckdns.org`. Thus you might need to [clear your DNS cache](https://blog.hubspot.com/website/flush-dns). You can also use the [Tor browser](https://www.torproject.org/) to connect to Nextcloud. If the IP address changes, you can simply leave the browser and reopen another session as the browser will automatically clear the DNS cache. + + + +# Set Apache + +We now want to tell Apache where to store the Nextcloud data. To do this, we will create a file called `nextcloud.conf`. + +* On both the master and worker VMs, write the following: + * ``` + nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf + ``` + +The file should look like this, with your own subdomain instead of `subdomain`: + +``` + + DocumentRoot "/var/www/nextcloud" + ServerName subdomain.duckdns.org + ServerAlias www.subdomain.duckdns.org + + ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/nextcloud.error + CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/nextcloud.access combined + + + Require all granted + Options FollowSymlinks MultiViews + AllowOverride All + + + Dav off + + + SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud + SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud + Satisfy Any + + + + +``` + +* On both the master VM and the worker VM, write the following to set the Nextcloud database with Apache and to enable the new virtual host file: + * ``` + a2ensite nextcloud.conf && a2enmod rewrite headers env dir mime setenvif ssl + ``` + +* Then, reload and restart Apache: + * ``` + systemctl reload apache2 && systemctl restart apache2 + ``` + + + +# Access Nextcloud on a Web Browser with the Subdomain + +We now access Nextcloud over the public Internet. + +* Go to a web browser and write the subdomain name created with DuckDNS (adjust with your own subdomain): + * ``` + subdomain.duckdns.org + ``` + +Note: HTTPS isn't yet enabled. If you can't access the website, make sure to enable HTTP websites on your browser. + +* Choose a name and a password. For this guide, we use the following: + * ``` + ncadmin + password1234 + ``` + +* Enter the Nextcloud Database information created with MariaDB and click install: + * ``` + Database user: ncuser + Database password: password1234 + Database name: nextcloud + Database location: localhost + ``` + +Nextcloud will then proceed to complete the installation. + +We use `localhost` as the database location. You do not need to specifiy MariaDB's port (`3306`), as it is already configured within the database. + +After the installation, you can now access Nextcloud.

For this current Nextcloud guide, we will be using 1 CPU, 2 GB of RAM and 50 GB of storage. We are also looking for a 3Node with a public IPv4 address. + +* Go to the ThreeFold Grid [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/deploy/node-finder/) (Main Net) +* Find a 3Node with suitable resources for the deployment and take note of its node ID on the leftmost column `ID` +* For proper understanding, we give further information on some relevant columns: + * `ID` refers to the node ID + * `Free Public IPs` refers to available IPv4 public IP addresses + * `HRU` refers to HDD storage + * `SRU` refers to SSD storage + * `MRU` refers to RAM (memory) + * `CRU` refers to virtual cores (vcores) +* To quicken the process of finding a proper 3Node, you can narrow down the search by adding filters: + * At the top left of the screen, in the `Filters` box, select the parameter(s) you want. + * For each parameter, a new field will appear where you can enter a minimum number requirement for the 3Node. + * `Free SRU (GB)`: 50 + * `Free MRU (GB)`: 2 + * `Total CRU (Cores)`: 1 + * `Free Public IP`: 2 + * Note: if you want a public IPv4 address, it is recommended to set the parameter `FREE PUBLIC IP` to at least 2 to avoid false positives. This ensures that the shown 3Nodes have viable IP addresses. + +Once you've found a 3Node, take note of its node ID. You will need to use this ID when creating the Terraform files. + + + +# Set the Full VM + +## Overview + +For this guide, we use two files to deploy with Terraform. The first file contains the environment variables and the second file contains the parameters to deploy our workload. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The `main.tf` file contains the environment variables (e.g. `var.size` for the disk size) and thus you do not need to change this file. Of course, you can adjust the deployment based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the `main.tf` as is. + +On your local computer, create a new folder named `terraform` and a subfolder called `deployment-single-nextcloud`. In the subfolder, store the files `main.tf` and `credentials.auto.tfvars`. + +Modify the variable files to take into account your own seed phrase and SSH keys.

This means that we have 2 virtual machines, one VM with the Nextcloud instance and the Nextcloud backup, and another VM with a backup of the Nextcloud backup. + +This architecture leads to a higher redundancy level, since we can afford to lose one of the two VMs and still be able to retrieve the Nextcloud database. Note that to achieve this, we are creating a virtual private network (VPN) with WireGuard. This will connect the two VMs and allow for file transfers. While there are many ways to proceed, for this guide we will be using [ssh-keygen](https://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh-keygen), [Rsync](https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync) and [Cron](https://linux.die.net/man/1/crontab). + +Note that, in order to reduce the deployment cost, we set the minimum CPU and memory requirements for the Backup VM. We do not need high CPU and memory for this VM since it is only used for storage. + +Note that this guide also make use of the ThreeFold gateway. For this reason, this deployment can be set on any two 3Nodes on the TFGrid, i.e. there is no need for IPv4 on the 2 nodes we are deploying on, as long as we set a gateway on a gateway node. + +For now, let's see how to achieve this redundant deployment with Rsync! + +# 2-Node Terraform Deployment + +For this guide, we are deploying a Nextcloud AIO instance along a Backup VM, enabling daily backups of both VMs. The two VMs are connected by a WireGuard VPN. The deployment will be using the [Nextcloud FList](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tf-images/tree/development/tfgrid3/nextcloud) available in the **tf-images** ThreeFold Tech repository. + +## Create the Terraform Files + +For this guide, we use two files to deploy with Terraform. The first file contains the environment variables and the second file contains the parameters to deploy our workloads. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The **main.tf** file contains the environment variables (e.g. **var.size** for the disk size) and thus you do not need to change this file. Of course, you can adjust the deployment based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the main.tf as is. + +For this example, we will be deploying the Nextcloud instance with a ThreeFold gateway and a gateway domain. Other configurations are possible. + +### Variables File + +* Copy the following content and save the file under the name `credentials.auto.tfvars`: + +``` +mnemonics = "..." +SSH_KEY = "..." +network = "main" + +size_vm1 = "50" +cpu_vm1 = "2" +memory_vm1 = "4096" + +size_vm2 = "50" +cpu_vm2 = "1" +memory_vm2 = "512" + +gateway_id = "50" +vm1_id = "5453" +vm2_id = "12" + +deployment_name = "nextcloudgatewayvpn" +nextcloud_flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-apps/threefoldtech-nextcloudaio-latest.flist" +``` + +Make sure to add your own seed phrase and SSH public key. Simply replace the three dots by the content. Note that you can deploy on a different node than node 5453 for the **vm1** node. If you want to deploy on another node than node 5453 for the **gateway** node, make sure that you choose a gateway node. To find a gateway node, go on the [ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf/) Nodes section of the Explorer and select **Gateways (Only)**. + +Obviously, you can decide to increase or modify the quantity for the CPU, memory and size variables. Note that we set the minimum CPU and memory parameters for the Backup VM (**vm2**). This will reduce the cost of the deployment. Since the Backup VM is only used for storage, we don't need to set the CPU and memory higher. + +### Main File + +* Copy the following content and save the file under the name `main.tf`: + +``` +variable "mnemonics" { + type = string + default = "your mnemonics" +} + +variable "network" { + type = string + default = "main" +} + +variable "SSH_KEY" { + type = string + default = "your SSH pub key" +} + +variable "deployment_name" { + type = string +} + +variable "size_vm1" { + type = string +} + +variable "cpu_vm1" { + type = string +} + +variable "memory_vm1" { + type = string +} + +variable "size_vm2" { + type = string +} + +variable "cpu_vm2" { + type = string +} + +variable "memory_vm2" { + type = string +} + +variable "nextcloud_flist" { + type = string +} + +variable "gateway_id" { + type = string +} + +variable "vm1_id" { + type = string +} + +variable "vm2_id" { + type = string +} + + +terraform { + required_providers { + grid = { + source = "threefoldtech/grid" + } + } +} + +provider "grid" { + mnemonics = var.mnemonics + network = var.network +} + +data "grid_gateway_domain" "domain" { + node = var.gateway_id + name = var.deployment_name +} + +resource "grid_network" "net" { + nodes = [var.gateway_id, var.vm1_id, var.vm2_id] + ip_range = "10.1.0.0/16" + name = "network" + description = "My network" + add_wg_access = true +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d1" { + node = var.vm1_id + network_name = grid_network.net.name + + disks { + name = "data" + size = var.size_vm1 + } + + vms { + name = "vm1" + flist = var.nextcloud_flist + cpu = var.cpu_vm1 + memory = var.memory_vm1 + rootfs_size = 15000 + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + GATEWAY = "true" + IPV4 = "false" + NEXTCLOUD_DOMAIN = data.grid_gateway_domain.domain.fqdn + } + mounts { + disk_name = "data" + mount_point = "/mnt/data" + } + } +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d2" { + disks { + name = "disk2" + size = var.size_vm2 + } + node = var.vm2_id + network_name = grid_network.net.name + + vms { + name = "vm2" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/ubuntu-22.04.flist" + cpu = var.cpu_vm2 + mounts { + disk_name = "disk2" + mount_point = "/disk2" + } + memory = var.memory_vm2 + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + planetary = true + } +} + +resource "grid_name_proxy" "p1" { + node = var.gateway_id + name = data.grid_gateway_domain.domain.name + backends = [format("http://%s:80", grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ip)] + network = grid_network.net.name + tls_passthrough = false +} + +output "wg_config" { + value = grid_network.net.access_wg_config +} + +output "vm1_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ip +} + +output "vm2_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d2.vms[0].ip +} + + +output "fqdn" { + value = data.grid_gateway_domain.domain.fqdn +} +``` + +## Deploy the 2-Node VPN + +We now deploy the 2-node VPN with Terraform.

We cover a basic two client and three server nodes Nomad cluster. After completing this guide, you will have sufficient knowledge to build your own personalized Nomad cluster. + + + +## What is Nomad? + +[Nomad](https://www.nomadproject.io/) is a simple and flexible scheduler and orchestrator to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and clouds at scale. + +In the dynamic world of cloud computing, managing and orchestrating workloads across diverse environments can be a daunting task. Nomad emerges as a powerful solution, simplifying and streamlining the deployment, scheduling, and management of applications. + +Nomad's elegance lies in its lightweight architecture and ease of use. It operates as a single binary, minimizing resource consumption and complexity. Its intuitive user interface and straightforward configuration make it accessible to a wide range of users, from novices to experienced DevOps. + +Nomad's versatility extends beyond its user-friendliness. It seamlessly handles a wide array of workloads, including legacy applications, microservices, and batch jobs. Its adaptability extends to diverse environments, effortlessly orchestrating workloads across on-premises infrastructure and public clouds. It's more of Kubernetes for humans! + + + +## Prerequisites + +* [Install Terraform](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/downloads) +* [Install WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/install/) + +You need to download and install properly Terraform and Wireguard on your local computer. Simply follow the documentation depending on your operating system (Linux, MAC and Windows). + +If you are new to Terraform, feel free to read this basic [Terraform Full VM guide](../terraform_full_vm.md) to get you started. + + + +## Create the Terraform Files + +For this guide, we use two files to deploy with Terraform: a main file and a variables file. The variables file contains the environment variables and the main file contains the necessary information to deploy your workload. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The file `main.tf` will be using the environment variables from the variables files (e.g. `var.cpu` for the CPU parameter) and thus you do not need to change this file. + +Of course, you can adjust the two files based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the main file as is. + +Also note that this deployment uses both the Planetary network and WireGuard. + +### Main File + +We start by creating the main file for our Nomad cluster. + +* Create a directory for your Terraform Nomad cluster + * ``` + mkdir nomad + ``` + * ``` + cd nomad + ``` +* Create the `main.tf` file + * ``` + nano main.tf + ``` + +* Copy the following `main.tf` template and save the file + +``` +terraform { + required_providers { + grid = { + source = "threefoldtech/grid" + } + } +} + +variable "mnemonics" { + type = string +} + +variable "SSH_KEY" { + type = string +} + +variable "tfnodeid" { + type = string +} + +variable "size" { + type = string +} + +variable "cpu" { + type = string +} + +variable "memory" { + type = string +} + +provider "grid" { + mnemonics = var.mnemonics + network = "main" +} + +locals { + name = "nomadcluster" +} + +resource "grid_network" "net1" { + name = local.name + nodes = [var.tfnodeid] + ip_range = "10.1.0.0/16" + description = "nomad network" + add_wg_access = true +} +resource "grid_deployment" "d1" { + disks { + name = "disk1" + size = var.size + } + name = local.name + node = var.tfnodeid + network_name = grid_network.net1.name + vms { + name = "server1" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/aelawady.3bot/abdulrahmanelawady-nomad-server-latest.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + memory = var.memory + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + ip = "10.1.3.2" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + planetary = true + } + vms { + name = "server2" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/aelawady.3bot/abdulrahmanelawady-nomad-server-latest.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + memory = var.memory + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + FIRST_SERVER_IP = "10.1.3.2" + } + planetary = true + } + vms { + name = "server3" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/aelawady.3bot/abdulrahmanelawady-nomad-server-latest.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + memory = var.memory + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + FIRST_SERVER_IP = "10.1.3.2" + } + planetary = true + } + vms { + name = "client1" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/aelawady.3bot/abdulrahmanelawady-nomad-client-latest.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + memory = var.memory + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + FIRST_SERVER_IP = "10.1.3.2" + } + planetary = true + } + vms { + name = "client2" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/aelawady.3bot/abdulrahmanelawady-nomad-client-latest.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + memory = var.memory + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + FIRST_SERVER_IP = "10.1.3.2" + } + planetary = true + } +} + +output "wg_config" { + value = grid_network.net1.access_wg_config +} + +output "server1_wg_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ip +} +output "server2_wg_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[1].ip +} +output "server3_wg_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[2].ip +} +output "client1_wg_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[3].ip +} +output "client2_wg_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[4].ip +} + +output "server1_planetary_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ygg_ip +} +output "server2_planetary_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[1].ygg_ip +} +output "server3_planetary_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[2].ygg_ip +} +output "client1_planetary_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[3].ygg_ip +} +output "client2_planetary_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[4].ygg_ip +} +``` + +### Credentials File + +We create a credentials file that will contain the environment variables.

It runs fast and is very robust, as it uses Docker, Nginx, LetsEncrypt, and NetData under the hood behind its user-friendly interface. +Here’s a link to CapRover's open source repository on [GitHub](https://github.com/caprover/caprover). + +## Features of Caprover + +- CLI for automation and scripting +- Web GUI for ease of access and convenience +- No lock-in: Remove CapRover and your apps keep working ! +- Docker Swarm under the hood for containerization and clustering. +- Nginx (fully customizable template) under the hood for load-balancing. +- Let’s Encrypt under the hood for free SSL (HTTPS). +- **One-Click Apps** : Deploying one-click apps is a matter of seconds! MongoDB, Parse, MySQL, WordPress, Postgres and many more. +- **Fully Customizable** : Optionally fully customizable nginx config allowing you to enable HTTP2, specific caching logic, custom SSL certs and etc. +- **Cluster Ready** : Attach more nodes and create a cluster in seconds! CapRover automatically configures nginx to load balance. +- **Increase Productivity** : Focus on your apps ! Not the bells and whistles, just to run your apps. +- **Easy Deploy** : Many ways to deploy. You can upload your source from dashboard, use command line caprover deploy, use webhooks and build upon git push + +## Prerequisites + +- Domain Name: + after installation, you will need to point a wildcard DNS entry to your CapRover IP Address. + Note that you can use CapRover without a domain too.

The main template for this example can be found [here](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid/blob/development/examples/resources/qsfs/main.tf). + + +## Prerequisites + +In this guide, we will be using Terraform to deploy a QSFS workload on a micro VM that runs on the TFGrid. Make sure to have the latest Terraform version. + +- [Install Terraform](../terraform_install.md) + + + + +## Find a 3Node + +We want to find a proper 3Node to deploy our workload. For this guide, we want a 3Node with at least 15GB of storage, 1 vcore and 512MB of RAM, which are the minimum specifications for a micro VM on the TFGrid. We are also looking for a 3Node with a public IPv4 address. + +We show here how to find a suitable 3Node using the ThreeFold Explorer. + +* Go to the ThreeFold Grid [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/deploy/node-finder/) (Main Net) +* Find a 3Node with suitable resources for the deployment and take note of its node ID on the leftmost column `ID` +* For proper understanding, we give further information on some relevant columns: + * `ID` refers to the node ID + * `Free Public IPs` refers to available IPv4 public IP addresses + * `HRU` refers to HDD storage + * `SRU` refers to SSD storage + * `MRU` refers to RAM (memory) + * `CRU` refers to virtual cores (vcores) +* To quicken the process of finding a proper 3Node, you can narrow down the search by adding filters: + * At the top left of the screen, in the `Filters` box, select the parameter(s) you want. + * For each parameter, a new field will appear where you can enter a minimum number requirement for the 3Nodes. + * `Free SRU (GB)`: 15 + * `Free MRU (GB)`: 1 + * `Total CRU (Cores)`: 1 + * `Free Public IP`: 2 + * Note: if you want a public IPv4 address, it is recommended to set the parameter `FREE PUBLIC IP` to at least 2 to avoid false positives. This ensures that the shown 3Nodes have viable IP addresses. + +Once you've found a proper node, take node of its node ID. You will need to use this ID when creating the Terraform files. + + + +## Create the Terraform Files + +We present two different methods to create the Terraform files. In the first method, we will create the Terraform files using the [TFGrid Terraform Provider](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid). In the second method, we will create the Terraform files manually. Feel free to choose the method that suits you best. + +### Create the Files with the Provider + +Creating the Terraform files is very straightforward. We want to clone the repository `terraform-provider-grid` locally and run some simple commands to properly set and start the deployment. + +* Clone the repository `terraform-provider-grid` + * ``` + git clone https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid + ``` +* Go to the subdirectory containing the examples + * ``` + cd terraform-provider-grid/examples/resources/qsfs + ``` +* Set your own mnemonics (replace `mnemonics words` with your own mnemonics) + * ``` + export MNEMONICS="mnemonics words" + ``` +* Set the network (replace `network` by the desired network, e.g. `dev`, `qa`, `test` or `main`) + * ``` + export NETWORK="network" + ``` +* Initialize the Terraform deployment + * ``` + terraform init + ``` +* Apply the Terraform deployment + * ``` + terraform apply + ``` +* At any moment, you can destroy the deployment with the following line + * ``` + terraform destroy + ``` + +When using this method, you might need to change some parameters within the `main.tf` depending on your specific deployment. + +### Create the Files Manually + +For this method, we use two files to deploy with Terraform.

For this guide, we will be deploying Ubuntu 22.04. + +The steps are very simple. You first need to create the Terraform files, the variables file and the deployment file, and then deploy the full VM. After the deployment is done, you can SSH into the full VM. + +The main goal of this guide is to show you all the necessary steps to deploy a Full VM on the TGrid using Terraform. Once you get acquainted with this first basic deployment, you should be able to explore on your own the possibilities that the TFGrid and Terraform combined provide. + + + +## Main Process + +For this guide, we use two files to deploy with Terraform. The first file contains the environment variables and the second file contains the parameters to deploy our workload. + +To facilitate the deployment, only the environment variables file needs to be adjusted. The `main.tf` file contains the environment variables (e.g. `var.size` for the disk size) and thus you do not need to change this file. Of course, you can adjust the deployment based on your preferences. That being said, it should be easy to deploy the Terraform deployment with the `main.tf` file as is. + +On your local computer, create a new folder named `terraform` and a subfolder called `deployments`. In the subfolder, store the files `main.tf` and `credentials.auto.tfvars`. + +Modify the variable file to take into account your own seed phrase and SSH keys. You should also specifiy the node ID of the 3Node you will be deploying on. + +Once this is done, initialize and apply Terraform to deploy your workload, then SSH into the Full VM. That's it! Now let's go through all these steps in further details. + + + +## Prerequisites + +- [Install Terraform](./terraform_install.md) + +You need to download and install properly Terraform. Simply follow the documentation depending on your operating system (Linux, MAC and Windows). + + + +## Find a 3Node with the ThreeFold Explorer + +We want to find a proper 3Node to deploy our workload. For this guide, we want a 3Node with at least 15GB of storage, 1 vcore and 512MB of RAM, which are the minimum specifications for a micro VM on the TFGrid. We are also looking for a 3Node with a public IPv4 address. + +We present two options to find a suitable node: the scheduler and the TFGrid Explorer. + + + +### Using the Grid Scheduler + +Using the TFGrid scheduler can be very efficient depending on what you are trying to achieve. To learn more about the scheduler, please refer to this [Scheduler Guide](resources/terraform_scheduler.md). + + + +### Using the Grid Explorer + +We show here how to find a suitable 3Node using the ThreeFold Explorer. + +- Go to the ThreeFold Grid [Node Finder](https://dashboard.grid.tf/#/deploy/node-finder/) (Main Net) +- Find a 3Node with suitable resources for the deployment and take note of its node ID on the leftmost column `ID` +- For proper understanding, we give further information on some relevant columns: + - `ID` refers to the node ID + - `Free Public IPs` refers to available IPv4 public IP addresses + - `HRU` refers to HDD storage + - `SRU` refers to SSD storage + - `MRU` refers to RAM (memory) + - `CRU` refers to virtual cores (vcores) +- To quicken the process of finding a proper 3Node, you can narrow down the search by adding filters: + - At the top left of the screen, in the `Filters` box, select the parameter(s) you want. + - For each parameter, a new field will appear where you can enter a minimum number requirement for the 3Nodes. + - `Free SRU (GB)`: 15 + - `Free MRU (GB)`: 1 + - `Total CRU (Cores)`: 1 + - `Free Public IP`: 2 + - Note: if you want a public IPv4 address, it is recommended to set the parameter `FREE PUBLIC IP` to at least 2 to avoid false positives. This ensures that the shown 3Nodes have viable IP addresses. + +Once you've found a proper node, take node of its node ID. You will need to use this ID when creating the Terraform files. + + + +## Create the Terraform Files + +Open the terminal. + +- Go to the home folder + + - ``` + cd ~ + ``` + +- Create the folder `terraform` and the subfolder `deployment-full-vm`: + - ``` + mkdir -p terraform/deployment-full-vm + ``` + - ``` + cd terraform/deployment-full-vm + ``` +- Create the `main.tf` file: + + - ``` + nano main.tf + ``` + +- Copy the `main.tf` content and save the file. + +``` +terraform { + required_providers { + grid = { + source = "threefoldtech/grid" + } + } +} + +variable "mnemonics" { + type = string +} + +variable "SSH_KEY" { + type = string +} + +variable "tfnodeid1" { + type = string +} + +variable "size" { + type = string +} + +variable "cpu" { + type = string +} + +variable "memory" { + type = string +} + +provider "grid" { + mnemonics = var.mnemonics + network = "main" +} + +locals { + name = "tfvm" +} + +resource "grid_network" "net1" { + name = local.name + nodes = [var.tfnodeid1] + ip_range = "10.1.0.0/16" + description = "newer network" + add_wg_access = true +} + +resource "grid_deployment" "d1" { + disks { + name = "disk1" + size = var.size + } + name = local.name + node = var.tfnodeid1 + network_name = grid_network.net1.name + vms { + name = "vm1" + flist = "https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/ubuntu-22.04.flist" + cpu = var.cpu + mounts { + disk_name = "disk1" + mount_point = "/disk1" + } + memory = var.memory + entrypoint = "/sbin/zinit init" + env_vars = { + SSH_KEY = var.SSH_KEY + } + publicip = true + planetary = true + } +} + +output "wg_config" { + value = grid_network.net1.access_wg_config +} +output "node1_zmachine1_ip" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ip +} + +output "ygg_ip1" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].ygg_ip +} + +output "ipv4_vm1" { + value = grid_deployment.d1.vms[0].computedip +} + +``` + +In this file, we name the VM as `vm1`. + +- Create the `credentials.auto.tfvars` file: + + - ``` + nano credentials.auto.tfvars + ``` + +- Copy the `credentials.auto.tfvars` content and save the file. + +``` +mnemonics = "..." +SSH_KEY = "..." + +tfnodeid1 = "..." + +size = "15" +cpu = "1" +memory = "512" +``` + +Make sure to add your own seed phrase and SSH public key.

This is a simple method that works well for small to medium purchases. + +Lobstr is an app for managing digital assets like TFT on the Stellar blockchain. In this case, we'll first obtain Stellar's native currency, Lumens (XLM) and swap them for TFT. + +> Note that it is possible to do these steps without connecting the Lobstr wallet to the TF Connect App wallet (read [docs](./tft_lobstr_short_guide.md)). But doing this has a clear advantage: when we buy and swap on Lobstr, the TFT is directly accessible on the TF Connect app wallet. + +## Download the App and Create an Account + +Go on [www.lobstr.co](https://www.lobstr.co) and download the Lobstr app. +You can download it for Android or iOS. + +![image](./img/gettft_1.png) + +We will show here the steps for Android, but it is very similar with iOS. +Once you've clicked on the Android button, you can click install on the Google Store page: + +![image](./img/gettft_2.png) + +Once the app is downloaded, open it: + +![image](./img/gettft_3.png) + +On the Lobstr app, click on **Create Account**: + +![image](./img/gettft_4.png) + +You will then need to enter your email address: + +![image](./img/gettft_5.png) + +Then, choose a safe password for your account: + +![image](./img/gettft_6.png) + +Once this is done, you will need to verify your email. + +Click on **Verify Email** and then go check your email inbox. + +![image](./img/gettft_7.png) + +Simply click on **Verify Email** on the email you've received. + +![image](./img/gettft_8.png) + +Once your email is verified, you can sign in to your Lobstr account: + +![image](./img/gettft_9.png) + +![image](./img/gettft_10.png) + + + +## Connect Your TF Connect App Wallet + +You will then need to either create a new wallet or connect an existing wallet. + +For this guide, we will show how to connect your TF Connect app wallet, but please note that you can create a new wallet on Lobstr by clicking **Create Stellar Wallet**. + +Since we are working with the Threefold ecosystem, it is very easy and practical to simply connect your TF Connect app wallet to Lobstr. This way, when you buy XLM and swap XLM tokens for TFTs, they will be directly available on your TF Connect app wallet. + +![image](./img/gettft_11.png) + +To connect your TF Connect app wallet, you will need to find your Stellar address and chain secret key. +This is very simple to do. + +Click on **I have a public or secret key**. + +![image](./img/gettft_12.png) + +As you can see on this next picture, you need the Stellar address and secret key to properly connect your TF Connect app wallet to Lobstr: + +![image](./img/gettft_18.png) + +To find your Stellar address and secret key, go on the TF Connect app and select the **Wallet** section: + +![image](./img/gettft_13.png) + +At the top of the section, click on the **copy** button to copy your Stellar Address: + +![image](./img/gettft_17.png) + +Now, we will find the Stellar secret key. +At the botton of the section, click on the encircled **i** button: + +![image](./img/gettft_14.png) + +Next, click on the **eye** button to reveal your secret key: + +![image](./img/gettft_15.png) + +You can now simply click on the **copy** button on the right: + +![image](./img/gettft_16.png) + +That's it! You've now connected your TF Connect app wallet to your Lobstr account. + +## Buy XLM with Fiat Currency + +Now, all we need to do, is buy XLM and then swap it for TFT. +It will be directly available in your TF Connect App wallet. + +On the Lobstr app, click on the top right menu button: + +![image](./img/gettft_19.png) + +Then, click on **Buy Crypto**: + +![image](./img/gettft_20.png) + +By default, the crypto selected is XLM. This is alright for us as we will quickly swap the XLM for TFT. + +On the Buy Crypto page, you can choose the type of Fiat currency you want. +By default it is in USD. To select some othe fiat currency, you can click on **ALL** and see the available fiat currencies: + +![image](./img/gettft_21.png) + +You can search or select the current you want for the transfer: + +![image](./img/gettft_22.png) + +You will then need to decide how much XLM you want to buy. Note that there can be a minimum amount. +Once you chose the desired amount, click on **Continue**. + +![image](./img/gettft_23.png) + +Lobstr will then ask you to proceed to a payment method. In this case, it is Moonpay. +Note that in some cases, your credit card won't accept Moonpay payments. You will simply need to confirm with them that you agree with transacting with Moonpay. This can be done by phone. Check with your bank and credit card company if this applies. + +![image](./img/gettft_24.png) + +Once you've set up your Moonpay payment method, you will need to process and confirm the transaction: + +![image](./img/gettft_25.png) +![image](./img/gettft_26.png) + +You will then see a processing window. +This process is usually fast. Within a few minutes, you should receive your XLM. + +![image](./img/gettft_27.png) + +Once the XLM is delivered, you will receive a notification: + +![image](./img/gettft_28.png) + +When your transaction is complete, you will see this message: + +![image](./img/gettft_29.png) + +On the Trade History page, you can choose to download the csv file version of your transaction: + +![image](./img/gettft_30.png) + +That's it! You've bought XLM on Lobstr and Moonpay. + +## Swap XLM for TFT + +Now we want to swap the XLM tokens for the Threefold tokens (TFT). +This is even easier than the previous steps. + +Go to the Lobstr Home menu and select **Swap**: + +![image](./img/gettft_31.png) + +On the **Swap** page, write "tft" and select the Threefold token: + +![image](./img/gettft_32.png) + +Select the amount of XLM you want to swap. It is recommended to keep at least 1 XLM in your wallet for transaction fees. + +![image](./img/gettft_33.png) + +Within a few seconds, you will receive a confirmation that your swap is completed: +Note that the TFT is directly sent on your TF Connect app wallet. + +![image](./img/gettft_34.png) + +That's it. You've swapped XLM for TFT. + +You can now use your TFT to deploy workloads on the Threefold Grid. + +## Disclaimer + +> The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

This is a simple method that works well for small to medium purchases. You can buy TFT on Lobstr with your smartphone (Android and iOS) and your computer. + +Lobstr is an app for managing digital assets like TFT on the Stellar blockchain. In this case, we'll first obtain Stellar's native currency, Lumens (XLM) and swap them for TFT. + +> [Moonpay](https://www.moonpay.com/) is the service integrated in Lobstr to enable users to buy digital assets like XLM with fiat currencies like US Dollars and Euros. Moonpay is available in most regions, but there are some [exceptions](https://support.moonpay.com/hc/en-gb/articles/6557330712721-What-are-our-non-supported-countries-states-and-territories-for-on-ramp-product). If your country or state isn't supported by Moonpay, you will need to find another cryptocurrency exchange or on ramp to obtain XLM. From there, you can follow the rest of this guide. + +## Install Lobstr + +To get Lobstr, just head to [lobstr.co](https://lobstr.co/) where you'll find buttons to download the app for both Android and iOS. Once the app is installed, open it to continue. To use Lobstr directly on your browser, simply click on **Get Started** in the top menu of the Lobstr website. This allows you to use Lobstr on your computer instead of your smartphone. + +Hit the **Create Account** button and proceed to create an account by entering your email address and choosing a password. Verify your email address and then sign in. + +## Create Wallet + +After you sign in to Lobstr for the first time, you'll be prompted to create or connect a Stellar wallet. If you already have the TF Connect App, follow the instructions at [this link](./tft_lobstr_complete_guide.html#connect-your-tf-connect-app-wallet) to import your existing wallet into Lobstr. Otherwise, just press the **Create Stellar Wallet** button. + +Lobstr will then present you with 12 words to write down and store safely. Keep in mind that anyone who can access these words can also access any funds in your account. They can also be used to recover your account later. Be sure not to lose them. + +## Buy XLM + +In this step, we'll buy XLM with a credit or debit card (actually a few forms of bank transfer and other payment methods are [supported](https://support.moonpay.com/customers/docs/moonpays-supported-payment-methods-1) too). + +On the Lobstr app, click on the hamburger menu button: + +![image](./img/gettft_19.png) + +Then click on **Buy Crypto**: + +![image](./img/gettft_20.png) + +By default XLM is selected to buy, which is what we want. Above you can choose how much to buy in the currency of your choosing. Press **ALL** to see a full list of available currencies. + +Once you've entered the amount you want to buy, hit **Continue** and proceed through the checkout process with Moonpay. On the final screen, you'll see a message that it can take some time to complete the order: + +![image](./img/gettft_27.png) + +Usually this happens quickly and you'll receive a notification if notifications are enabled for the Lobstr app. + +## Swap XLM for TFT + +Once you have the XLM, use the hamburger menu again and this time select **Swap**: + +![image](./img/gettft_31.png) + +Enter TFT in the search bar and select the entry that includes **threefold.io**. + +> Be careful at this step! There are fake scam coins using the ThreeFold logo. We can't remove these tokens from Stellar, unfortunately, so you will need to be sure to choose the right one. + +![image](./img/gettft_32.png) + +On the next screen, XLM will be automatically selected as the currency to trade for TFT. The amount that's available to trade will be shown in blue. You can just tap this amount to trade the maximum amount. A couple XLM will be reserved to keep your account open and pay for future Stellar transaction fees. + +Hit the green button at the bottom to complete the trade. There will be a few more prompts and potentially some warnings about scam tokens (again, look for **threefold.io**). + +When you're finished you'll see a screen that says **Swap completed**.

This increased activity can lead to a broader awareness of TFT and potentially drive its value and market presence. + +## Prerequisites + +Before you can become a TFT(BSC) LP on Pancake Swap, there are a few prerequisites you need to fulfill. Here's what you'll need: + +- **BSC Wallet**: To interact with the Binance Smart Chain and Pancake Swap, you'll need a BSC-compatible wallet. [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/) is a popular option that supports BSC. Make sure to set up and secure your wallet before proceeding. + +> [Set up a Metamask Wallet](../storing_tft/metamask.md) + +- **Connect BSC Wallet TO Pancake Swap**: Visit the Pancake Swap website and connect your BSC wallet to your Pancake Swap account. + +> [Connect Wallet to Pancake Swap](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/readme/get-started/connection-guide) + +- **Get BNB Tokens**: As the native cryptocurrency of Binance Smart Chain, BNB is required to pay for transaction fees on the network. Ensure you have some BNB tokens in your BSC wallet to cover these fees when buying TFT(BSC) on Pancake Swap. Read [this tutorial](https://fortunly.com/articles/how-to-buy-bnb/) to know where you can buy BNB and transfer them to your BSC Wallet. + +> [Get BNB Tokens](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/readme/get-started/bep20-guide) + +- **Sufficient TFT**: To participate as a liquidity provider on PancakeSwap, you will need to acquire **TFT(BSC)** tokens and deposit them into your BSC Wallet, along with an equivalent value of another token, into the desired liquidity pool. The TFT tokens act as your share of the liquidity pool and entitle you to a portion of the trading fees generated by the platform. + +## Become a TFT - BSC LP + +Anyone who fullfill the prerequisites can create a liquidity pool on Pancake Swap. + +Now that you're all set, you can become an LP by going to your [PancakeSwap homepage](https://pancakeswap.finance/) and click on **Trade > Liquidity** button on the navbar as shown. Please Make sure you're on **BNB Smart Chain** network. + +![](./img/pancake_liquidity.png) + +You will now be directed to the Liquidity page. When providing liquidity for TFT(BSC) on PancakeSwap, we recommend you to pair it with BUSD (Binance USD), which already has significant liquidity. The ratio between TFT(BSC) and BUSD in the existing pool is fixed by market prices. Simply choose the amount of liquidity you want to provide for both currencies. Consider the potential risks associated with impermanent loss. Join the TFT pool on PancakeSwap to contribute and trade TFT(BSC) tokens. + +![](./img/liquidity_busd.jpeg) + +Click “approve” for both currencies, then c;ick 'confirm' to accept the wallet prompts and fees. + +![](./img/liquidity_approve.jpeg) + +![](./img/threefold__confirmation.jpg) + +Click “supply” and confirm the wallet prompt and fee. + +![](./img/threefold__supply.jpg) + +Congratulations! You have now exchanged the selected amounts for both currencies for LPs (Liquidity Tokens) and you are providing liquidity and earning a part of the transaction fees. + +![](./img/threefold__lp_tokens.jpg) + +## Important Notice + +It's important to note that being a liquidity provider involves certain risks, such as impermanent loss, which occurs when the value of the tokens in the liquidity pool fluctuates. However, if you believe in the potential of TFT and want to actively contribute to the liquidity ecosystem on PancakeSwap, becoming a liquidity provider can be a rewarding opportunity to earn fees and support the growth of the platform. + +## Disclaimer + +> The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

Become a TFT Liquidity Provider

+ +- [Liquidity Provider on Pancake Swap](./liquidity_pancake.md) +- [Liquidity Provider on 1inch.io](./liquidity_1inch.md) +- [Liquidity Provider on Albedo](./liquidity_albedo.md) + + +*** + +## Introduction + +A **liquidity provider** (LP) is an individual or entity that contributes liquidity to a decentralized exchange or automated market maker (AMM) platform. In the context of cryptocurrency, a liquidity provider typically deposits an equal value of two different tokens into a liquidity pool. By doing so, they enable traders to easily swap between these tokens at any time, ensuring there is sufficient liquidity in the market. + +Indeed, becoming a TFT liquidity provider can vary based on the platform, wallet, or exchange, as well as the underlying blockchain. The pairing token also plays a role in determining the available liquidity pools for TFT. + +For instance, on PancakeSwap, you can become a TFT(BSC) liquidity provider by pairing it with BNB (Binance Coin) on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). On the other hand, platforms like 1inch.io may offer different pairing options, such as TFT(BSC) with BUSD (Binance USD) or other compatible tokens. + +Similarly, the blockchain being used can affect the liquidity provision options. For example, you can become a TFT liquidity provider on the Stellar blockchain using wallets like Albedo, specifically designed for Stellar assets. However, you cannot become a TFT(Stellar) liquidity provider on PancakeSwap, but you can become a TFT(BSC) liquidity provider instead, since it currently supports assets on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), not the Stellar blockchain. + +It is important to consider the specific platform, wallet, or exchange you are using, as well as the blockchain and available pairing tokens, to determine the appropriate method for becoming a TFT liquidity provider. Ensure you follow the guidelines and instructions provided by the respective platforms to successfully participate in the desired liquidity pool. + +*** +## Important Notice + +It's important to note that being a liquidity provider involves certain risks, such as impermanent loss, which occurs when the value of the tokens in the liquidity pool fluctuates.

With Albedo, you can safely manage and transact with your Stellar account without having to share your secret key with any third parties. +Developed by the creators of stellar.expert explorer, Albedo offers a range of features, including storage, swaps, and participation in liquidity pools. It is an open-source solution that can be accessed directly from your browser or installed as a browser add-on, currently available for Chrome and Firefox. + +In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of storing Stellar TFT tokens using the Albedo wallet. +*** +## Prerequisites + +- **XLM**: When storing TFT tokens using the Albedo wallet, a certain amount of XLM funding is required to facilitate the sending and receiving of assets on the Stellar network. + +There are multiple ways to acquire XLM and send it to your wallet. One option is to utilize XLM-supported exchanges, which provide a convenient platform for purchasing XLM. Click [here](https://www.coinlore.com/coin/stellar/exchanges) to access a comprehensive list of exchanges that support XLM. + +As an example, we have created a tutorial specifically focusing on how to buy XLM on Coinbase, one of the popular cryptocurrency exchanges. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on the process of purchasing XLM on **Coinbase Exchange**. You can find the tutorial [**here**](../buy_sell_tft/coinbase_xlm.md). +*** +## Get Started + +### Create and Fund Albedo Wallet + +Go to [https://albedo.link/signup](https://albedo.link/signup) to start your sign up process. + +![](img/albedo_signup.png) + +Ensure you save your 24-word recovery passphrase.

This key is the only way you could recover your account if you ever lose access to it. + +![](img/albedo_secret.png) + +Congrats! You just created an Albedo wallet. To get started swapping tokens into TFT, firstly we would need to fund your wallet with XLM by clicking '**fund it**' on the homepage. + +![](img/albedo_fund.png) + +Send some XLM for a third party wallets or stellar exchanger of your choice to your Albedo XLM wallet. + +![](img/albedo_receive.png) + +Once you sent the XLM, you will see the balance added to the homepage. now we are ready to do some token transactions! + +![](img/albedo_home.png) + +### Add TFT asset to Albedo Wallet + +To store TFT in our Albedo Wallet, we will need to have a TFT wallet added into our account. This is done by creating a trustline for TFT. Creating a trustline means granting permission for your Albedo wallet to recognize and interact with TFT tokens on the Stellar network. It allows you to view your TFT balance, send and receive TFT tokens, and engage in swapping or trading activities involving TFT within the Albedo wallet. + +To add a trustline, go to the “**Balance**” section, and click “**Add trustline**” button. + +![](img/albedo_activate.png) + +A popup window will appear presenting Albedo's asset list. In the search field that appears, type in '**TFT**' as the asset you want to add. + +**It is important to ensure that you also see the name "threefold.io" next to the logo** , as this verifies that you are selecting the genuine TFT asset associated with ThreeFold. **Beware of imposters or fraudulent assets that may attempt to mimic TFT.** ThreeFold cannot assume responsibility for any errors or mistakes made during the trustline creation process done by users. If you have any uncertainties or doubts, it is always recommended to seek assistance from official support channels or trusted sources to ensure the accuracy of the trustline configuration. + +![](img/albedo_select_asset.png) + +Confirm the selected asset by pressing “**Add trustline**”. + +![](img/albedo_trustline.png) + +Congrats! You have now successfully added TFT as an asset to your Albedo wallet. + +### Storing / Receiving and Sending TFT + +You can now store TFT by depositing it from another wallet by copying your public Albedo wallet address and sending it to the withdrawer. + +You can also transfer TFT to another stellar wallet by clicking the '**Transfer**' icon on your wallet navbar and specify the amount of TFT and the receipient's wallet address and memo (if any), and click 'Transfer' button to finish the transaction. + +![](img/albedo_send_receive.png) +*** +## Important Notice + +If you are looking for ways to get / purchase TFT (Stellar) on Albedo, you will find the according information [here](../buy_sell_tft/albedo_buy.md). +*** +## Disclaimer + +The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be able to configure your MetaMask wallet to support TFT tokens on BSC and seamlessly participate in the TFT ecosystem. So let's dive in and explore how to set up TFT on MetaMask with Binance Smart Chain. + +## TFT Addresses + +With MetaMask, you can store TFT on both Binance Smart Chain and the Ethereum chain. Make sure to use the correct TFT address when doing transactions. + +### Ethereum Chain Address + +The ThreeFold Token (TFT) is available on Ethereum. +It is implemented as a wrapped asset with the following token address: + +``` +0x395E925834996e558bdeC77CD648435d620AfB5b +``` + +### BSC Address + +The ThreeFold Token (TFT) is available on BSC. +It is implemented as a wrapped asset with the following token address: + +``` +0x8f0FB159380176D324542b3a7933F0C2Fd0c2bbf +``` + +## Get Started + +We present the steps on BSC. Make sure to switch to Ethereum and to use the TFT Ethereum address if you want to proceed on Ethereum. + +### Install & Create Metamask Account + +Go to the [Metamask website](https://metamask.io/) to download and install the Metamask extension for your browser. Follow [this tutorial](https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/360015489531-Getting-started-with-MetaMask) to install metamask to your preferred browser and create. + +Once you’ve installed MetaMask, you’ll see the small fox icon at the top right of your screen, and a notification will appear, letting you know that the install was successful. + +![](./img/metamask_installed.png) + +**Create a Metamask account** + +![](./img/metamask_new.png) + +Assuming you are a new user, click the “**Create a Wallet**” button on the right to get started with a new wallet. + +![](./img/metamask_pass.png) + +This is your password for access to your wallet on your local device. As with all online accounts, you should ensure that you are using a strong password. On the next page, you’ll be given a set of 12 words that act as your **private key**. + +![](./img/metamask_privatekey.png) + +You can think of these words as your master key to all your digital assets. If you have lost or forgotten your password, you can use this set of 12 words to restore your wallet on any device. However, if anyone were to gain access to these 12 words, they could do the same. + +This passphrase is very important, so be sure to keep it safe. Once you have written them down, you can click the “Next” button. Then, just to make sure that you have written them down, MetaMask asks you to confirm your secret recovery phrase by selecting the words in the order they were originally given. You must write down your 12 words in the correct order. + +Once you’ve entered those words, you can click “Continue.” Then, you’re done! It’s that easy. + +### Configure a BSC Wallet (Mainnet) for your TFT + +MetaMask supports various wallet networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and more. By adding the BSC network, you can seamlessly manage and transact with BSC-based assets like TFT tokens directly within your MetaMask wallet. + + To configure a BSC wallet on MetaMask, you can add the BSC network by specifying the network details such as the chain ID, RPC URL, and symbol. + +### Switch Network from ETH to BSC (Auto Add) + +You might notice straight away that we’re still dealing with an Ethereum wallet. But we want to have a Wallet on BSC Network. To add a new network, click it to access a drop-down menu and hit the "**Add Network**” tab to proceed to the next step. + +![](./img/metamask_add.png) + +You can add BNB Smart Chain from the list of popular networks by clicking "Add", and approving the request once it pops up. + +![](./img/metamask_choose.png) + +After it's added. you will realize that your mainnet network has turned into “**Smart Chain**.” If you wish to change back to the Ethereum network, simply press on the “Smart Chain” menu on the top. + +![](./img/metamask_switch.png) + + +### Add TFT Asset to BSC Wallet (Mainnet) + +Now that you have successfully created a BSC Wallet, we will need to add TFT onto your BSC Wallet. + +To add, go to your 'assets' page and click on '**Import Tokens**' at the bottom of the page. + +![](./img/metamask_import.png) + +You can add TFT onto your wallet by either automatically adding it by typing '**TFT ON BSC (TFT)**' on '**search**' page, + +![](./img/metamask_tft_auto.png) + +or by going to '**custom token**' page and entering TFT details manually. Make sure you enter the right details below to add TFT to your wallet successfully: + +- **Token Contract Address**: ```0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf``` + +Metamask will add the rest of the details, once added, click 'Add custom token'. + +![](./img/metamask_custom.png) + +After the click, you will be asked by Metamask to confirm the token import. Click '**Import Tokens**'. + +![](./img/metamask_confirm.png) + +Congratulations, you have successfully added TFT to your BSC Wallet on Metamask. + +![](./img/metamask_tft.png) + +You should be seeing TFT listed on your Wallet homepage's 'Assets' section. Now that we've successfully listed TFT, we can go ahead and do TFT transactions via Metamask. + +![](./img/metamask_tft_home.png) + +## Important Notice + +To deposit TFT tokens to your MetaMask BSC wallet, **you can only initiate a transfer or swap from any other wallet or exchange platform that operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network.** Ensure that the platform you are using is on BSC to avoid the risk of losing tokens. + +For example, you cannot transfer TFT tokens directly from the TFConnect app to MetaMask, because TFT tokens on TFT Connect operate on the Stellar network, while TFT on MetaMask lives on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Network. + +But don't worry! You can still swap your Stellar TFT into BSC TFT and vice versa by bridging them using our [TFT BSC Bridge](https://bridge.bsc.threefold.io/). See tutorial [here](../tft_bridges/bsc_stellar_bridge.md). + +You can also buy TFTs on BSC-supported exchangers like [Pancake Swap](https://pancakeswap.finance/).

It provides a secure way to store your TFT tokens and access them conveniently. With Solar Wallet, you have full control over your assets and can interact with various Stellar services and decentralized applications. Solar Wallet is available as a web-based wallet and also offers mobile versions for iOS and Android devices. This guide will explain how to store TFT (Stellar) on Solar Wallet, including setup, adding tokens, and important security tips. +*** +## Prerequisites + +- **XLM**: When storing TFT tokens using the Solar wallet, a certain amount of XLM funding is required to facilitate the sending and receiving of assets on the Stellar network. + +There are multiple ways to acquire XLM and send it to your wallet. One option is to utilize XLM-supported exchanges, which provide a convenient platform for purchasing XLM. Click [**here**](https://www.coinlore.com/coin/stellar/exchanges) to access a comprehensive list of exchanges that support XLM. + +As an example, we have created a tutorial specifically focusing on how to buy XLM on Coinbase, one of the popular cryptocurrency exchanges. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on the process of purchasing XLM on **Coinbase Exchange**. You can find the tutorial [**here**](../buy_sell_tft/coinbase_xlm.md). +*** +## Get Started + +### Create a New Solar Wallet + +For this guide, we will focus on using the desktop wallet version of Solar Wallet for MacOS. You can download the appropriate version for your operating system by visiting the official website at [https://solarwallet.io/](https://solarwallet.io/) and clicking '**Get Wallet Now**'. + +![](img/solar_home.png) + +![](img/solar_desktop.jpeg) + +Note: It is essential to save your secret key securely during the process of creating a new account or importing an existing one. The secret key is a critical component that grants access to your wallet and funds. Make sure to store it in a safe and offline location, such as a password manager or a physical backup, to prevent unauthorized access. Do not share your secret key with anyone and exercise caution to protect your assets. + +![](img/solar_secret.jpeg) + +After the download is finished, locate the downloaded file on your computer and double-click on it to initiate the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Solar Wallet on your macOS device. This may involve dragging the application to your Applications folder or following prompts from the installation wizard. + +![](img/solar_install.png) + +Once downloaded, open your Solar wallet and congratulations! You just created a new Solar wallet account. + +![](img/solar_home.jpeg) + +### Fund XLM to New Wallet + +To initiate the process of storing TFT in Solar, the first step is to fund your wallet with XLM (Stellar Lumens). By funding your wallet with XLM, you will have the necessary cryptocurrency to cover future transaction fees and engage in token transaction activities on Solar Wallet. Follow these steps: + +On the Solar Wallet homepage, click on the '**Receive**' button. This will provide you with a wallet address to receive XLM. + +![](img/solar_receive.jpeg) + +Copy the generated wallet address or use the provided QR code to receive XLM from your preferred source. You can use an external exchange, another wallet, or any platform that supports XLM transfers. + +![](img/solar_copy.jpeg) + +Send the desired amount of XLM to the generated wallet address. Ensure that you are sending XLM from a compatible source, and double-check the address to prevent any errors. Wait for the XLM transaction to be confirmed on the Stellar network. This typically takes a few moments, but it may vary depending on network congestion. + +Once XLM is successfuly sent, it will appear on your Solar homepage. + +![](img/solar_xlm.jpeg) + +### Adding TFT Asset to Solar Wallet + +To store TFT in our Solar Wallet, we will need to have a TFT wallet added into our account. This is done by adding TFT Asset. This will allow you to view your TFT balance, send and receive TFT tokens, and engage in trading activities involving TFT within the Solar wallet. + +To add the TFT (ThreeFold Token) asset to your Solar Wallet account, follow these steps: + +Click on the top-right menu icon in your Solar Wallet interface. This will open a dropdown menu with various options. From the dropdown menu, select "**Assets & Balances.**" This will navigate you to the Assets & Balances section of your wallet. + +![](img/solar_asset.png) + +In the Assets & Balances section, click on the "**+ Add Asset To Your Account" button**. This will allow you to add a new asset to your wallet. + +![](img/solar_account.png) + +A search box will appear. Type "**TFT**" in the search box to find the ThreeFold Token asset. Click on the search result as shown below. + +![](img/solar_search.png) + +**IMPORTANT**: It is important to ensure that you also see the name "**threefold.io**" next to the logo , as this verifies that you are selecting the genuine TFT asset associated with ThreeFold. **Beware of imposters or fraudulent assets that may attempt to mimic TFT.** ThreeFold cannot assume responsibility for any errors or mistakes made during the trustline creation process done by users. If you have any uncertainties or doubts, it is always recommended to seek assistance from official support channels or trusted sources to ensure the accuracy of the trustline configuration. + +Once you see the TFT asset, click on the "**Add Asset To Account**" button. Please note that adding the asset will require a small amount of XLM to set up a trustline for the TFT asset. + +![](img/solar_tftinfo.png) + +Confirm Adding TFT Asset to your wallet. + +![](img/solar_confirm.png) + +After confirming the transaction, wait until the process is successful. + +![](img/solar_success.png) + +the TFT icon will now be displayed in your wallet overview. + +![](img/solar_tft.png) + +Congratulations! TFT asset has been successfully added to your Solar Wallet account. +*** +## Storing / Receiving and Sending TFT + +You can now store TFT by depositing it from another wallet by clicking '**Receive**' on your TFT Asset page, and copying your public TFT Solar wallet address and sending it to the withdrawer. + +You can also transfer TFT to another stellar wallet by clicking the '**Send**' icon on your wallet navbar and following further instructions. +*** +## Important Notice + +If you are looking for ways to get / purchase TFT (Stellar) on Solar Wallet, you will find the according information [here](../buy_sell_tft/solar_buy.md). +*** +## Disclaimer + +The information provided in this tutorial or any related discussion is not intended as investment advice.

Storing TFT

+ +In this section, we present different ways to store ThreeFold tokens. + +The simplest way is to use the ThreeFold Connect app to store your TFT. You can also use a hardware wallet for additional security. + +There are various options available to store TFTs, each with its own benefits and considerations. When it comes to storing TFTs (ThreeFold Tokens), users have the flexibility to choose between different wallet options depending on the blockchain platform on which the tokens are issued. + +If TFTs are issued on the Stellar blockchain, users can opt to store them in Stellar-compatible wallets. On the other hand, if TFTs are bridged and swapped from Stellar to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) or Ethereum Network, users can utilize BSC-compatible and ETH-compatible wallets to store their tokens. + +

It operates as a hot wallet, meaning it is connected directly to the internet, and is available on both iOS and Android devices. Since its acquisition by Binance in 2018, Trust Wallet has become Binance's official decentralized wallet. It supports a vast array of digital assets, with over 4.5 million supported, and is compatible with more than 65 blockchains. Trusted by millions of users, Trust Wallet stands out for its seamless integration with platforms on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20), including popular ones like PancakeSwap. +*** +## How to Store TFT on Trust Wallet (BSC) + +### Download and Create a Trust Wallet Account + +Once you have downloaded the app (iOS / Android) via [https://trustwallet.com/](https://trustwallet.com/), Select “Create a new wallet” and press “Continue” to accept the terms.

In Trust Wallet, a custom token refers to a token that is not natively supported or pre-listed on the wallet's default token list. + +In the 'Tokens' page, click on the 'settings' icon on the upper right corner to start adding a custom token. + +![](./img/threefold__trustwallet_overview.jpg) + +Search for TFT, and you will see a “No Asset Found” message with a Add Custom Token button. Click on the 'Add Custom Token' button. You will be directed to the Custom Token page. + +![](./img/trust_notfound.png) + +On the Custom Token page, configure TFT in the wallet by completing following info : + +Network: Smart Chain +**Contract Address: 0x8f0FB159380176D324542b3a7933F0C2Fd0c2bbf** +Name: TFT +Symbol: TFT +Decimals: 7 + +![](./img/threefold__trustwallet_tft_config.jpg) + +Once this configuration is done, your TFT wallet is ready. + +![](./img/threefold__trustwallet_tft_added.jpg) +*** +## Important Notice + +To deposit TFT tokens to your Trust BSC wallet, **you can only initiate a transfer or swap from any other wallet or exchange platform that operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network.** Ensure that the platform you are using is on BSC to avoid the risk of losing tokens. + +For example, you cannot transfer TFT tokens directly from the TFConnect app to MetaMask, because TFT on TFT Connect Wallet operate on the Stellar network, while TFT on MetaMask lives on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Network. + +But don't worry! You can still swap your Stellar TFT into BSC TFT and vice versa by bridging them using our [Stellar-BSC Bridge](https://bridge.bsc.threefold.io/). See tutorial [here](../tft_bridges/bsc_stellar_bridge.md). + +You can also buy and swap TFTs on BSC-supported exchangers by connecting your Trust Wallet to platforms like [Pancake Swap](https://pancakeswap.finance/).

BSC-Stellar Bridge Verification

Table of Contents

+ +- [Introduction](#introduction) +- [From Stellar to BSC](#from-stellar-to-bsc) +- [From BSC to Stellar](#from-bsc-to-stellar) +- [Conclusion](#conclusion) + +*** + +## Introduction + +In this guide, we show how to verify transactions on the BSC-Stellar bridge. + +When using the TFT bridge to Binance Chain (BSC), it's not simple to verify that tokens arrived at the destination wallet. The core reason is that it's not a regular token transfer, and so it doesn't show up that way in blockchain explorers. + +Instead, the result of using the bridge is a contract call that actually mints wrapped TFT on Binance Chain. The corresponding tokens are vaulted on Stellar, and when the bridge is used in the opposite direction, TFT on Binance Chain are burnt and then released on Stellar. Thus, the total number of TFT in circulation is constant throughout these operations. + +What we can do, instead of looking at token transfers, is to look for the mint events themselves. By parsing together data from a few different sources, we can verify that tokens sent to the bridge address on Stellar indeed arrived at their destination on Binance Chain. + +## From Stellar to BSC + +We start with a bridge example going from Stellar to BSC. For this tutorial, we'll use an example transaction found by looking at the transaction history from the [bridge wallet](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/account/GBFFWXWBZDILJJAMSINHPJEUJKB3H4UYXRWNB4COYQAF7UUQSWSBUXW5). This wallet uses both directions of bridging. In our case, we want to look for an inbound transaction. Here's an example: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_1.png) + +The first thing to do is decode the destination wallet address on Binance Chain, which is contained in the memo we see here on Stellar. It's encoded in base 64 and we can convert back to the original hex using a tool like this [Base64 to Hex Converter](https://base64.guru/converter/decode/hex): + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_2.png) + +The output is the destination address on Binance Chain. Since we usually write hex values with a leading `0x`, the full address in the normal format is `0x64df465bbcee5db45131e9406662818e8ba34fc0`. + +The other thing to note is the date and time of the original Stellar transaction. There are sometimes delays on the bridge, but we know that the outbound transaction on Binance Chain will always happen after the inbound transaction on Stellar. In this case, we are looking at the most recent transaction on the Stellar side of the bridge, so we can just look for the most recent transaction on the Binance side too. + +To do that, we'll go to the [Bitquery explorer](https://explorer.bitquery.io/bsc) for BSC. We're looking for the token contract for TFT on Binance Chain, which you can find in our documentation: `0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf`. + +On the [contract page](https://explorer.bitquery.io/bsc/token/0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf), click **Events**: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_3.png) + +Then on the row **Mint** events, click on the icon aligned with the **Event Count** column: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_4.png) + +We then arrive at [this page](https://explorer.bitquery.io/bsc/txs/events?contract=0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf&event=85a66b9141978db9980f7e0ce3b468cebf4f7999f32b23091c5c03e798b1ba7a): + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_5.png) + +You can use the **Date range** selector here to look for events in the past. In this case, we'll just look for the latest one, since that's what we're using for our example. Click the transaction link and then copy the transaction hash from the next page: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_6.png) + +To get a look into the contract call, we switch over to [BscScan](https://bscscan.com/) at this point for a better view. Search for the transaction hash and then select the event log. We will then see the output address and the amount of TFT minted in the data below: + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_7.png) + +We can see that the address matches the one we decoded from the Stellar memo. As for the **tokens** amount, we need to account fo the fact that TFT uses 7 decimal places. For this reason, we move the decimal place by dividing by 1e7 (i.e. 1x10⁷): + +![](./img/bsc_stellar_picture_8.png) + +The original transaction on Stellar was for 2600 TFT, and the output after subtracting the 100 TFT bridge fee is 2500 TFT. + +## From BSC to Stellar + +Now, we will see a bridge example going from BSC to Stellar. This time, we start at the BscScan explorer. + +Here is an example bridge transaction, as seen from the account transactions view, which is the default view if you search for a wallet address: + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar1.jpeg) + +We can identify it because it's using the **Withdraw** method in a transaction to the TFT contract address on BSC. + +If we open the [Transaction Details page](https://bscscan.com/tx/0xae2a9b5cdad652ecb1e6252ee44a7f0e3c5fc9cdf1df9fddff3b0c100c4b3cb5) by clicking on the transaction hash and switch to the **Logs** view, we can see more details: + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar2.png) + +In particular, this shows us the destination address on Stellar and the TFT amount. To get the decimal form, we once again divide by 1e7 (i.e. 1x10⁷). + +Back on StellarExpert, we can find a transaction on the same date just shortly after the transaction on BSC, for the same amount of TFT minus the 1 TFT bridge fee. It originates from the bridge address on Stellar and the destination is the address we see in the contract call above: + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar3.png) + +As a final step, we double-check that the transaction we see on Stellar is actually the result of the bridge interaction we saw on BSC. It's possible, after all, that the user has sent multiple transactions with the same amount. To do this, we look at the memo on the Stellar transaction. As above, we need to convert from base 64 to hex again. To do so, we can once again use the [Base64 to HEX Converter](https://base64.guru/converter/decode/hex): + +![](./img/BSC%20to%20Stellar4.png) + +If the output hex doesn't already look familiar, you can compare it to the transaction hash from above, while remembering that `0x` is just a formatting convention indicating that hex data follows. Indeed, we can even search it on BscScan, to come full circle back to transaction details page we have seen before. + +We have made a direct link between the use of the bridge contract on BSC and the resulting payment from the bridge on Stellar. + +## Conclusion + +In this guide, we covered how to verify bridge transactions going from BSC to Stellar and from Stellar to BSC. + +In the world of public blockchains, all data is recorded and accessible, but sometimes it takes some investigation to find what we are looking for. + +If you have any questions, you can ask the ThreeFold community for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Grid Tester Community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) on Telegram. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

Decisions get made from the bottom-up, governed by a community organized around a specific set of rules enforced on a blockchain. + +DAOs are internet-native organizations collectively owned and managed by their members. They have built-in treasuries that are only accessible with the approval of their members. Decisions are made via proposals the group votes on during a specified period. + +A DAO works without hierarchical management and can have a large number of purposes. Freelancer networks where contracts pool their funds to pay for software subscriptions, charitable organizations where members approve donations and venture capital firms owned by a group are all possible with these organizations. + +Before moving on, it’s important to distinguish a DAO, an internet-native organization, from The DAO, one of the first such organizations ever created. The DAO was a project founded in 2016 that ultimately failed and led to a dramatic split of the Ethereum network. + +## How does a DAO work? + +As mentioned above, a DAO is an organization where decisions get made from the bottom-up; a collective of members owns the organization. There are various ways to participate in a DAO, usually through the ownership of a token. + +DAOs operate using smart contracts, which are essentially chunks of code that automatically execute whenever a set of criteria are met. Smart contracts are deployed on numerous blockchains nowadays, though Ethereum was the first to use them. + +These smart contracts establish the DAO’s rules. Those with a stake in a DAO then get voting rights and may influence how the organization operates by deciding on or creating new governance proposals. + +This model prevents DAOs from being spammed with proposals: A proposal will only pass once the majority of stakeholders approve it. How that majority is determined varies from DAO to DAO and is specified in the smart contracts. + +DAOs are fully autonomous and transparent. As they are built on open-source blockchains, anyone can view their code. Anyone can also audit their built-in treasuries, as the blockchain records all financial transactions. + +Typically, a DAO launch occurs in three major steps +Smart contract creation: First, a developer or group of developers must create the smart contract behind the DAO. After launch, they can only change the rules set by these contracts through the governance system. That means they must extensively test the contracts to ensure they don’t overlook important details. + +Funding: After the smart contracts have been created, the DAO needs to determine a way to receive funding and how to enact governance. More often than not, tokens are sold to raise funds; these tokens give holders voting rights. + +Deployment: Once everything is set up, the DAO needs to be deployed on the blockchain. From this point on, stakeholders decide on the future of the organization. The organization’s creators — those who wrote the smart contracts — no longer influence the project any more than other stakeholders. + +## Why do we need DAOs? + +Being internet-native organizations, DAOs have several advantages over traditional organizations. One significant advantage of DAOs is the lack of trust needed between two parties. While a traditional organization requires a lot of trust in the people behind it — especially on behalf of investors — with DAOs, only the code needs to be trusted. + +Trusting that code is easier to do as it’s publicly available and can be extensively tested before launch. Every action a DAO takes after being launched has to be approved by the community and is completely transparent and verifiable. + +Such an organization has no hierarchical structure. Yet, it can still accomplish tasks and grow while being controlled by stakeholders via its native token. The lack of a hierarchy means any stakeholder can put forward an innovative idea that the entire group will consider and improve upon. Internal disputes are often easily solved through the voting system, in line with the pre-written rules in the smart contract. + +By allowing investors to pool funds, DAOs also give them a chance to invest in early-stage startups and decentralized projects while sharing the risk or any profits that may come out of them. + +## The principal-agent dilemma + +The main advantage of DAOs is that they offer a solution to the principal-agent dilemma. This dilemma is a conflict in priorities between a person or group (the principal) and those making decisions and acting on their behalf (the agent). + +Problems can occur in some situations, with a common one being in the relationship between stakeholders and a CEO. The agent (the CEO) may work in a way that’s not in line with the priorities and goals determined by the principal (the stakeholders) and instead act in their own self-interest. + +Another typical example of the principal-agent dilemma occurs when the agent takes excessive risk because the principal bears the burden. For example, a trader can use extreme leverage to chase a performance bonus, knowing the organization will cover any downside. + +DAOs solve the principal-agent dilemma through community governance.

Investors bought DAO tokens by moving Ether to its smart contracts. + +A few days into the token sale, some developers expressed concerns that a bug in The DAO’s smart contracts could allow malicious actors to drain its funds. While a governance proposal was set forth to fix the bug, an attacker took advantage of it and siphoned over $60 million worth of ETH from The DAO’s wallet. + +At the time, around 14% of all ETH in circulation was invested in The DAO. The hack was a significant blow to DAOs in general and the then one-year-old Ethereum network. A debate within the Ethereum community ensued as everyone scrambled to figure out what to do. Initially, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a soft fork that would blacklist the attacker’s address and prevent them from moving the funds. + +The attacker or someone posing as them then responded to that proposal, claiming the funds had been obtained in a “legal” way according to the smart contract’s rules. They claimed they were ready to take legal action against anyone who tried to seize the funds. + +The hacker even threatened to bribe ETH miners with some of the stolen funds to thwart a soft fork attempt. In the debate that ensued, a hard fork was determined to be the solution. That hard fork was implemented to roll back the Ethereum network’s history to before The DAO was hacked and reallocate the stolen funds to a smart contract that allowed investors to withdraw them. Those who disagreed with the move rejected the hard fork and supported an earlier version of the network, known as Ethereum Classic (ETC). + +## Disadvantages of DAOs + +Decentralized autonomous organizations aren’t perfect. They are an extremely new technology that has attracted much criticism due to lingering concerns regarding their legality, security and structure. + +MIT Technology Review has, for example, revealed it considers it a bad idea to trust the masses with important financial decisions. While MIT shared its thoughts back in 2016, the organization appears to have never changed its mind on DAOs — at not least publicly. The DAO hack also raised security concerns, as flaws in smart contracts can be hard to fix even after they are spotted. + +DAOs can be distributed across multiple jurisdictions, and there’s no legal framework for them. Any legal issues that may arise will likely require those involved to deal with numerous regional laws in a complicated legal battle. + +In July 2017, for example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued a report in which it determined that The DAO sold securities in the form of tokens on the Ethereum blockchain without authorization, violating portions of securities law in the country. + +## Examples of DAOs + +Decentralized autonomous organizations have gained traction over the last few years and are now fully incorporated into many blockchain projects.

Decisions get made from the bottom-up, governed by a community organized around a specific set of rules enforced on a blockchain. + +DAOs are internet-native organizations collectively owned and managed by their members. They have built-in treasuries that are only accessible with the approval of their members. Decisions are made via proposals the group votes on during a specified period. + +A DAO works without hierarchical management and can have a large number of purposes. Freelancer networks where contracts pool their funds to pay for software subscriptions, charitable organizations where members approve donations and venture capital firms owned by a group are all possible with these organizations. + +Before moving on, it’s important to distinguish a DAO, an internet-native organization, from The DAO, one of the first such organizations ever created. The DAO was a project founded in 2016 that ultimately failed and led to a dramatic split of the Ethereum network. + +## How does a DAO work? + +As mentioned above, a DAO is an organization where decisions get made from the bottom-up; a collective of members owns the organization. There are various ways to participate in a DAO, usually through the ownership of a token. + +DAOs operate using smart contracts, which are essentially chunks of code that automatically execute whenever a set of criteria are met. Smart contracts are deployed on numerous blockchains nowadays, though Ethereum was the first to use them. + +These smart contracts establish the DAO’s rules. Those with a stake in a DAO then get voting rights and may influence how the organization operates by deciding on or creating new governance proposals. + +This model prevents DAOs from being spammed with proposals: A proposal will only pass once the majority of stakeholders approve it. How that majority is determined varies from DAO to DAO and is specified in the smart contracts. + +DAOs are fully autonomous and transparent. As they are built on open-source blockchains, anyone can view their code. Anyone can also audit their built-in treasuries, as the blockchain records all financial transactions. + +Typically, a DAO launch occurs in three major steps +Smart contract creation: First, a developer or group of developers must create the smart contract behind the DAO. After launch, they can only change the rules set by these contracts through the governance system. That means they must extensively test the contracts to ensure they don’t overlook important details. + +Funding: After the smart contracts have been created, the DAO needs to determine a way to receive funding and how to enact governance. More often than not, tokens are sold to raise funds; these tokens give holders voting rights. + +Deployment: Once everything is set up, the DAO needs to be deployed on the blockchain. From this point on, stakeholders decide on the future of the organization. The organization’s creators — those who wrote the smart contracts — no longer influence the project any more than other stakeholders. + +## Why do we need DAOs? + +Being internet-native organizations, DAOs have several advantages over traditional organizations. One significant advantage of DAOs is the lack of trust needed between two parties. While a traditional organization requires a lot of trust in the people behind it — especially on behalf of investors — with DAOs, only the code needs to be trusted. + +Trusting that code is easier to do as it’s publicly available and can be extensively tested before launch. Every action a DAO takes after being launched has to be approved by the community and is completely transparent and verifiable. + +Such an organization has no hierarchical structure. Yet, it can still accomplish tasks and grow while being controlled by stakeholders via its native token. The lack of a hierarchy means any stakeholder can put forward an innovative idea that the entire group will consider and improve upon. Internal disputes are often easily solved through the voting system, in line with the pre-written rules in the smart contract. + +By allowing investors to pool funds, DAOs also give them a chance to invest in early-stage startups and decentralized projects while sharing the risk or any profits that may come out of them. + +## The principal-agent dilemma + +The main advantage of DAOs is that they offer a solution to the principal-agent dilemma. This dilemma is a conflict in priorities between a person or group (the principal) and those making decisions and acting on their behalf (the agent). + +Problems can occur in some situations, with a common one being in the relationship between stakeholders and a CEO. The agent (the CEO) may work in a way that’s not in line with the priorities and goals determined by the principal (the stakeholders) and instead act in their own self-interest. + +Another typical example of the principal-agent dilemma occurs when the agent takes excessive risk because the principal bears the burden. For example, a trader can use extreme leverage to chase a performance bonus, knowing the organization will cover any downside. + +DAOs solve the principal-agent dilemma through community governance. Stakeholders aren’t forced to join a DAO and only do so after understanding the rules that govern it. They don’t need to trust any agent acting on their behalf and instead work as part of a group whose incentives are aligned. + +Token holders’ interests align as the nature of a DAO incentivizes them not to be malicious.

Therefore on this release we are happy to announce that we are supporting dedicated nodes deployment, apply the dedicated node contracts on TFChain and support mechanism on ZOS' next release. + + +## TF Playground v3.0.0 Alpha-5 + +### New community and blockchain solutions +On the last release, we have added new deployable community solutions on [TF Playground](https://play.grid.tf/#/), such as Peertube, Funkwhale and Taiga, Mattermost as well as some developer tools like CapRover, Virtual Machine, Kubernetes and Owncloud. + +On this release, we have added **community and blockchain solutions** such as Discourse (forum), Presearch Node and Casperlabs validator node. + +## Uhuru v1.1 (beta) + +### Uhuru Backend Changes + +[Uhuru](https://www.uhuru.me) is a digital product on top of a the TFGrid that enhance collaboration with features such as chat, videocall, office tools, and file storage, all in one platform. + + +## ThreeFold Wallet v3.0.0 + +### Add (substrate-based) TFChain Wallet + +TFGrid v3 is powered by substrate-based blockchain. A TFT is moveable from Stellar blockchain to TFChain through the use of a bridge.ThreeFold Wallet now has successfully **added (substrate-based) TFChain Wallet in order to support the bridge transaction**. + +However, TFT is still the native currency on TFChain. As such, there is no need for an external service to transfer tokens on TFChain. A transaction fee is charged (currently 0.01 TFT) for every transaction/extrinsic call. + +## TF Farm Management Tool v3.0.2 + +### Adjust farm management for the latest TFChain upgrade + +On the last release of 3 alpha-4, we have released Farm Management Tool v3.0.1 which allows farmers to migrate their farms from v2 to v3 through the TF Connect application. + +Recently a change was made within the codes of TFChain, thus broke the farm management function in the wallet. Therefore, on the v3.0.2 release, code changes were done on **Farm Management Tool to adapt itself with TFChain changes**. This was done quickly in production. + +## TFConnect App v3.5.0 + +### Generic Frontend and Backend Improvements +This new feature release of TFConnect App includes new features such as **enabling user to sign documents on the app** directly, and many other backend improvements. + +### Integrate TFConnect SSO to TFPlay Solutions + +We need to simplify peer-to-peer collaboration and how users interact with their TFPlay solutions. On this release, we have eliminated a complicated way of signing up to solutions (emails, username and password) by replacing it using **TFConnect app SSO login**. Therefore on this release, we successfully created TFConnect Native SSO backend environments for the following TFPlay solutions**: Discourse. Mattermost, and Gitea, that will allow users to sign in and start using the solutions with just few clicks. + +## TFChain v1.2.0 + +### ThreeFold DAO Pt. 2: Adjoint Validator-Council member request + +From version 3.0 on, [ThreeFold Grid operates as a DAO](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__dao). On the last release of TFChain v1.0.0, we have successfully implemented The first TF-DAO that allows users to request to become DAO council members. + +On this release we also have successfully implemented **ThreeFold DAO Request part 2 where any user could request to become an adjoint validator-council member**: by running a a validator node, not only that they become a validator, they would also gain a seat as DAO council member that give them the right to vote for organizational changes. + +### ThreeFold DAO Pt. 2: Enable Validator Application + +On this release we implemented ThreeFold DAO Request part 2 any user could **apply to become a validator **and register the validator application on-chain if they meet the validator requirements. diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/about/roadmap/releasenotes/tfgrid_release_3_10_0.md b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/about/roadmap/releasenotes/tfgrid_release_3_10_0.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8cad3e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/about/roadmap/releasenotes/tfgrid_release_3_10_0.md @@ -0,0 +1,119 @@ +# ThreeFold Grid v3.10.0 Release Note + +Release Note of ThreeFold Grid v3.10.0. + +- Deployed on Mainnet on 3rd July 2023. + +## Components and Services + +The following components and services have been upgraded in this release: + +- TFChain +- ZOS +- Terraform +- TFGrid-SDK-GO +- TF Gridclient +- TF Gridproxy +- RMB +- TF Weblets +- TF Playground +- TF-Grid-CLI +- Gridify +- TFGrid-SDK-TS + +## Upgrades and Improvement Highlights + +Below are some of the key highlights of the TFGrid v3.10.0 component upgrades and improvements. + +### TFChain 2.4.0 + +- Addressed syncing issues. +- Introduced the attachment of solution provider IDs to contracts. +- Enabled the bonding of a stash account to a twin. +- Implemented various bug fixes. + +### ZOS 3.7.1 + +- Restructured the capacity to enhance dynamism. +- Added support for proxying traffic to private networks using WireGuard-based gateways. +- Introduced support for cloud-based consoles. +- Resolved various issues related to error messages, user validations, and error handling. + +### Terraform 1.9 + +- Added support for WireGuard-based gateway options. +- Implemented proper timeout handling for deployments. +- Introduced gateway node validation before submitting deployments. +- Resolved various bugs and issues. + +### TFGrid-SDK-GO 0.8.0 + +- Consolidated multiple Go projects into a single repository for simplified administration and quicker releases. +- Extracted reusable code from the Terraform project and created a standalone library for creating new platforms or plugins. + +#### Grid-Client + +- Enhanced the grid client to serve as the foundation layer for the Terraform plugin, enabling deployment of networks, virtual machines, and Kubernetes. + +#### Grid-Proxy + +- Added support for standby status for nodes powered off by the farmerbot. +- Enabled farm filtering based on requested resources. + +#### RMB + +- Improved the direct client's resilience to recover from close connections. + +#### TF-Grid-CLI + +- Introduced a simple tool for creating virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters.

There are no centralized issuers. Tokens have not been created out of thin air. + +While the ThreeFold Grid can expand, a maximum of 1 billion TFTs can ever be in circulation. This limit ensures stability of value and incentivization for all stakeholders. + +TFT lives on the Stellar Blockchain. TFT holders benefit from a big ecosystem of proven wallets and mediums of exchange. + +By employing Stellar technology, TFT transactions and smart contracts are powered by one of the most energy-efficient blockchains available. Furthermore, TFT is the medium of exchange on the greenest internet network in the world. The market for farming, cultivating and trading TFT is open to all. + +Anyone with internet connection, power supply and necessary hardware can become a Farmer or trade ThreeFold tokens (TFT). + +By farming, buying, holding, and utilizing ThreeFold Tokens, you are actively supporting the expansion of the ThreeFold Grid and its use cases — creating a more sustainable, fair, and equally accessible Internet. + +## Proof-of-Capacity + +ThreeFold uses proof-of-capacity to mint tokens. Since the genenis pool, all tokens that are being minted are the result of farming.

They represent compute, storage and network equivalents to energy (kW - kilowatt). The are three categories of cloud units: + +- Compute Unit (CU): The amount of data processing power in terms of virtual CPU (vCPU) cores (logical [CPUs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit)) and Random Access Momory ([RAM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory)). +- Storage Unit (SU): The amount of storage capacity in terms of Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Solid State Drives (SSDs) in Gigabytes (GB). +- Network Unit (NU): The amount of data that travels in and out of storage units or compute units expressed in GB. + +> Note: [Resource units](./resource_units_calc_cloudunits.md) are used to calculate SU & CU. Resource Units are used to measure compute and storage capacity produced by hardware. + +When a solution is deployed on the ThreeFold Grid, the system automatically gathers the required amount of CU, SU, or NU. It is important to note that users are not billed upon reservation but only when utilizing the actualy CU, SU and NU. TF Certified Farmers can define the price of CU, SU, and NU they make available on the ThreeFold Grid. + +## How is the price of Cloud Units (v4) calculated? + +The following tables display how cloud units (v4) are calculated on the ThreeFold Grid.

If you would like to see any changes to this document please email to **info@freeflownation.org**. +We at ThreeFold want to follow these guidelines. + +This document has been created honoring the [FreeFlow Nation Manifesto](https://www.freeflownation.org/manifesto.html). + +# Code of Conduct + +## Forum & Chat Rules + +We are committed to making participation a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or nationality. + +Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to: + +* Use of sexualized language or imagery +* Personal attacks +* Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments +* Public or private harassment +* Publishing private information without explicit permission (e.g. physical or electronic address) + +## Moderation Rights + +Content moderators have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject all posts, comments, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct. They may also suspend or ban any forum member for behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. + +By adopting this Code of Conduct, moderators commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing this community. Moderators who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be permanently removed from the moderation team. + +Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by flagging the post or comment in question. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response deemed both necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Moderators are obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding the identity of the reporting party. + +The forum is a place where we bring people together that share the same values and want to make the world a better place. Positive feedback is well appreciated but must always stay respectful and helpful. Moderators thus have the right to remove any posts spreading negativity and/or attacking the project and its founders. + +## Contribution + +We welcome everyone to contribute and thank you for your content contribution. + +Content can be chat, questions, answers, blogs, articles, knowledge base information, tutorials, … + +The more people collaborate the more relevant set of information will be created. + +Creating content constitutes your agreement to release submitted content as public domain ([CC0 10 4](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/)). + +## Keep It Simple and Relevant + +Overload of information is maybe even worse as not enough information. + +Please keep your discussions and contributions information-rich. If your signal-to-noise ratio gets too low, you will be muted or banned from the forum or relevant chat. This is up to the discretion of ThreeFold moderators. + +## Content Verification Guidelines + +We believe it’s in the best interest of our community to know the origin and authenticity of any information contributed. We want to do everything possible to verify the authenticity of the content created (e.g. messages, knowledge-base, chats, etc.). As such it’s our right to block a contributor from creating any content if identity cannot be verified. + +## Freedom of Speech. + +We believe in freedom of speech as long as it’s not in contradiction with our Content Verification Guidelines. + +# Contribution Guidelines + +## This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion + +Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation. + +These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse. + +## Improve the Discussion + +Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later. + +The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said. + +One way to improve the discussion is by discovering ones that are already happening. Spend time browsing the topics here before replying or starting your own, and you’ll have a better chance of meeting others who share your interests. + +## Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree + +You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid any of the following: + +* Name-calling +* Ad hominem attacks +* Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content +* Knee-jerk contradiction + +Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation. + +## Your Participation Counts + +The conversations we have here set the tone for every new arrival. Help us influence the future of this community by choosing to engage in discussions that make this forum an interesting place to be — and avoiding those that do not. + +The forum we use (Discourse) provides tools that enable the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, edits, and so forth. Use these tools to improve your own experience, and everyone else’s, too. + +Let’s leave our community better than we found it. + +## If You See a Problem, Flag It + +Moderators have special authority: they are responsible for this forum, but so are you. With your help, moderators can be community facilitators, not just janitors or police. + +When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just flag it. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention. + +In order to maintain our community, moderators reserve the right to remove any content and any user account for any reason at any time. Moderators do not preview new posts: the moderators and site operators take no responsibility for any content posted by the community. + +## Always Be Civil + +Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness: + +* Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech. +* Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit. +* Respect each other. Don’t harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information. +* Respect our forum. Don’t post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum. + +These are not concrete terms with precise definitions — avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times. + +This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends. + +## Keep It Tidy + +Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less time cleaning up. + +In brief: + +* Don’t start a topic in the wrong category. +* Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics. +* Don’t post no-content replies. +* Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream. +* Don’t sign your posts — every post has your profile information attached to it. +* Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic. + +## Post Only Your Own Stuff + +You may not post anything digital that belongs to someone else without permission. You may not post descriptions of, links to, or methods for stealing someone’s intellectual property (e.g. software, video, audio, images, etc.), or for breaking any other law. + +## Powered by You + +This site is operated by your friendly local staff and you, the community. If you have any further questions about how things should work here, open a new topic in the site feedback category and let’s discuss! If there’s a critical or urgent issue that can’t be handled by a meta topic or flag, contact us via the support live chat. + +## Terms of Service + +Yes, legalese is boring, but we must protect ourselves – and by extension, you and your data – against unfriendly folks. We have a Terms of Service describing your (and our) behavior and rights related to content, privacy, and laws. To use this service, you must agree to abide by our TOS. See below for more information on this. + +# Terms of Service (TOS) + +These terms include a number of important provisions that affect your rights and responsibilities, such as the disclaimers in Disclaimers, limits on the company’s liability to you in Limits on Liability, your agreement to cover the company for damages caused by your misuse of the forum in Responsibility for Your Use, and an agreement to arbitrate disputes in Disputes. + +Please read: + +To use this forum, or any other collaboration/communication tool of ThreeFold you must agree to these terms with threefold, the company that runs the forum or any other tool (FreeFlow Pages and others). + +The company may offer other products and services, under different terms.

If you believe someone has submitted content to the forum in violation of these terms, [contact us immediately](#contact). + +## Your Account + +You must create and log into an account to use some features of the forum. + +To create an account, you must provide some information about yourself. If you create an account, you agree to provide, at a minimum, a valid e-mail address, and to keep that address up-to-date.

You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep it secret. + +The company may restrict, suspend, or close your account on the forum according to its policy for handling copyright-related takedown requests, or if the company reasonably believes that you’ve broken any rule in these terms. + +## Your Content + +Nothing in these terms gives the company any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with the forum, such as your account information, posts, or other content you submit to the forum. Nothing in these terms gives you any ownership rights in the company’s intellectual property, either. + +Between you and the company, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the forum is sponsored or approved by the company. These terms do not obligate the company to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these terms. + +Content you submit to the forum belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it. But at a minimum, you license the company to provide content that you submit to the forum to other users of the forum. That special license allows the company to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the forum. + +When content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by the company, the company’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the company’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as [Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/) licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or the company itself, the right to share your content through the forum again. + +Others who receive content you submit to the forum may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the company will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences. + +## Your Responsibility + +You agree to indemnify the company from legal claims by others related to your breach of these terms, or breach of these terms by others using your account on the forum. Both you and the company agree to notify the other side of any legal claims for which you might have to indemnify the company as soon as possible. If the company fails to notify you of a legal claim promptly, you won’t have to indemnify the company for damages that you could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice. You agree to allow the company to control investigation, defense, and settlement of legal claims for which you would have to indemnify the company, and to cooperate with those efforts. The company agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement. + +## Disclaimers + +You accept all risks of using the forum and content on the forum. As far as the law allows, the company and its suppliers provide the forum as is, without any warranty whatsoever. + +The forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. The company does not make any warranty about services run by others, or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running service. + +## Limits on Liability + +Neither the company nor its suppliers will be liable to you for breach-of-contract damages their personnel could not have reasonably foreseen when you agreed to these terms. + +As far as the law allows, the total liability to you for claims of any kind that are related to the forum or content on the forum will be limited to $50. + +## Feedback + +The company welcomes your feedback and suggestions for the forum. See the [Contact](#contact) section below for ways to get in touch with us. + +You agree that the company will be free to act on feedback and suggestions you provide, and that the company won’t have to notify you that your feedback was used, get your permission to use it, or pay you. You agree not to submit feedback or suggestions that you believe might be confidential or proprietary, to you or others. + +## Termination + +Either you or the company may end the agreement written out in these terms at any time. When our agreement ends, your permission to use the forum also ends. + +The following provisions survive the end of our agreement: [Your Content](#your-content), [Feedback](#feedback), [Your Responsibility](#your-responsibility), [Disclaimers](#disclaimers), [Limits on Liability](#limits-on-liability), and [General Terms](#general-terms). + +## Disputes + +The governing law will govern any dispute related to these terms or your use of the forum. + +You and the company agree to seek injunctions related to these terms only in state or federal court in the city for disputes. Neither you nor the company will object to jurisdiction, forum, or venue in those courts. + +Other than to seek an injunction or for claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, you and the company will resolve any dispute by binding American Arbitration Association arbitration. Arbitration will follow the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Arbitration will happen in the city for disputes. You will settle any dispute as an individual, and not as part of a class action or other representative proceeding, whether as the plaintiff or a class member. No arbitrator will consolidate any dispute with any other arbitration without the company’s permission. + +Any arbitration award will include costs of the arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for witnesses. You and the company may enter arbitration awards in any court with jurisdiction. + +## General Terms + +If a provision of these terms is unenforceable as written, but could be changed to make it enforceable, that provision should be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Otherwise, that provision should be removed. + +You may not assign your agreement with the company. The company may assign your agreement to any affiliate of the company, any other company that obtains control of the company, or any other company that buys assets of the company related to the forum. Any attempted assignment against these terms has no legal effect. + +Neither the exercise of any right under this Agreement, nor waiver of any breach of this Agreement, waives any other breach of this Agreement. + +These terms embody all the terms of agreement between you and the company about use of the forum. These terms entirely replace any other agreements about your use of the forum, written or not. + +## Contact + +You may notify the company under these terms, and send questions to the company, at **info@threefold.io**. + +The company may notify you under these terms using the e-mail address you provide for your account on the forum, or by posting a message to the homepage of the forum or your account page. + +## Changes + +The company last updated these terms on Aug, 2020, and may update these terms again. For updates that contain substantial changes, the company agrees to e-mail you, if you’ve created an account and provided a valid e-mail address. The company may also announce updates with special messages or alerts on the forum. + +Once you get notice of an update to these terms, you must agree to the new terms in order to keep using the forum. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/collaboration/collaboration_toc.md b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/collaboration/collaboration_toc.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3a6bc41 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/collaboration/collaboration_toc.md @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +

It offers a lot of different project management kits and features such as the scrum board, kanban board, issues management, and many more. + +Our teams at ThreeFold use the Circle Tool to self-manage our tasks, thus it is deemed necessary for the new onboarded team members to learn how to use the tool. Unfortunately we only provide the desktop version of the tool at this moment since we normally manage our projects on the computer. + +This manual will be a beneficial thing to read for anyone: our team members, as well as our community members who are interested in using Circle Tool for their projects. + +## Overview + +Here is an overview of the tool. + +![ ](./img/taiga.png) + +## Prerequisites + +You would need to install and create an account on the [TF Connect App](../../../documentation/threefold_token/storing_tft/tf_connect_app.md) before being able to register and use the Circle Tool. + +## How to Use the Circle Tool + +* Go to [Circle Tool's desktop homepage](https://circles.threefold.me) on your computer as shown below. Click on '__Login__' button on the very top right corner of your screen. + +![ ](./img/circlehome.png) + +* Click on "TF Connect" button to log into the Circle Tool by using your TF Connect Account. + +![ ](./img/tfconnect.png) + +* Fill in your TF Connect usernames (without adding the '@' sign) on the provided box, and click on the 'Sign in' button. + +![ ](./img/signin.png) + +* Circle Tool will ask you to verify your login by clicking the right emoji that is sent to your TF Connect App. + +![ ](./img/emoji.png) + +* Verify your sign in process by loggin in to your TF Connect App on your mobile phone. Click on the same emoji that you see on your circle tool (desktop). + +![ ](./img/matchemoji.png) + +* Congratulations, you are now officially logged in on the circle tool. The Dashboard view will be the first thing you will see once you are logged in to the tool. + +![ ](./img/dashboard.png) + +*** + +## Circle Tool Overview + +The Circle Tool always try to make things easy and intuitive for new users but it’s good to have a nice & quick overview for your first couple of days. + +## Dashboard View + +![ ](./img/dashboard.png) + +Upon login or if you just go to your Circle Tool, you’re confronted with your dashboard with quick access to your working on items, a list of watched items and shortcuts to your projects. You can always go back to your dashboard by clicking on the Taiga +icon on the top bar. + +## Profile view + +![ ](./img/profile.png) + +Circle Tool has an additional section to get a multiproject view where you can find and list everything that is accessible to you. Simply click on your avatar and you access your personal profile section where you can check from what your personal bio looks like for people that might have access to it to all sorts of information on your activities and relevant content. + +## Projects + +![ ](./img/project.png) + +You can access your assigned projects by clicking on Projects link at the top left of your screen. You can hover and get an interactive shortlist or click on the link and go to a dedicated page where you can access them as well as rearrange them. Once you have clicked on a project, you access your default view for that project, which is always the Project’s Timeline if you haven’t changed that. + + +## Scrum Module on Project + +![ ](./img/homeproject.png) + +Every circle project can activate the Scrum module. This also happens automatically if you chose the Scrum template upon project creation. You can find the scrum module on the sidebar of your project page. + +Scrum is an agile framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products. Although it had an initial emphasis on software development, it has been used in other fields including research, sales, marketing and advanced technologies. + +### Scrum Backlog + +![ ](./img/backlog.png) + +There are various so called artifacts in Scrum. The top three are the Backlog, the User Stories and the Sprints. They respectively represent what is to be done ordered by priority and readyness, the pieces of work themselves and the fixed time periods in which we put selected User Stories to be worked upon and finished. + +### Scrum Sprints + +![ ](./img/sprints.png) + +The Scrum Backlog view will always show a summary view of ongoing or closed Sprints but teams generally stick to the Sprint Taskboard view when they are focused on getting things done for that Sprint. Click on either the Sprint name or the “Sprint Taskboard” button so you can access the very important Sprint Taskboard. Open Sprints appear as shortcuts through the left navigation pane’s Scrum icon. + + +## More Info + +You can read more about the Circle Tool (Taiga), scrum, sprints, and other documentations on Taiga's project management features on Taiga's official documentation [here](https://community.taiga.io/).

It is written in Rust and uses the Tera template engine, which is similar to Jinja2, Django templates, Liquid, and Twig. Content is written in CommonMark, a strongly defined, highly compatible specification of Markdown. + +While you can also publish a static website using Zola alone, we at ThreeFold have customized the framework and created a static website template that makes it even easier for anyone to build a website by simply cloning template and fill it with their own website content. + + + +## Prerequisites + +- Github Account +- Zola Framework +- VS Code, or any code editor of choice +- Markdown language knowledge +- Basic Command Line (Terminal) Knowledge + +In order to deploy and publish a website using ThreeFold Website Tool, you would need to have an account on github (to store your website data in a github repository), as well as to have Zola framework installed on your machine. + +### Important Links + +> - [How to Sign Up for a Github Account](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/signing-up-for-github/signing-up-for-a-new-github-account) +> - [Download VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) +> - [Learn Markdown Language](https://www.markdownguide.org/) +> - [Command Line Cheat Sheet](https://cs.colby.edu/maxwell/courses/tutorials/terminal/) + + + +## Installing Zola Onto Your Machine + +To install Zola on your machine, simply go to your terminal and run the following command: + +**MacOS (brew)**: + +``` +$ brew install zola +``` +Please make sure you have [Brew](https://brew.sh/) installed on your MacOS machine before installing Zola. + +Windows (scoop): + +``` +$ scoop install zola +``` +Please make sure you have [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) installed on your Windows machine before installing Zola. + +You should see a similar screen as below when successful: + +![](./img/scoopsuccess.png) + +For more details on Zola Installation, and installation guidelines for other operating systems, please read: [**Zola Installation Manual**](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/). + + +### Important Links +> - [How to Install Brew (MacOS)](https://brew.sh/) +> - [How to Install Scoop (Windows)](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop#readme) +> - [Zola Installation for other OS](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/) +> - [Command Line Cheat Sheet](https://cs.colby.edu/maxwell/courses/tutorials/terminal/) + +> Next Step: [Template Guide: How to use the TF Web Template](#template-guide) + + + +## Get Started + +Now that you have successfully installed Zola on your machine.

Upon completion of the work, opening a pull request signals that the work is: + +- Complete as Defined in the Project: The work aligns with the predefined goals and specifications outlined in the project. +- Well Tested: Thorough testing has been conducted to ensure the reliability and functionality of the code. +- Well Documented: Comprehensive documentation accompanies the code, aiding in understanding and future maintenance. + +#### Pull Requests Best Practices + +When creating pull requests (PRs), adhere to the following best practices for effective collaboration: + +- Early Draft PRs: Open a draft pull request as soon as work begins on a different branch. This allows for ongoing communication and collaboration with peers throughout the development process. +- Timely Updates: Regularly update the PR as new changes are made to keep reviewers informed of progress. +- Clear and Concise Title: Use a clear and concise title that summarizes the purpose or goal of the pull request. +- Detailed Description: Provide a comprehensive description of the changes made, the problem solved, and any relevant context. This aids reviewers in understanding the purpose and impact of the changes. +- Link to Issues: If the pull request addresses specific issues, link them to provide additional context and traceability. +- Reviewers and Assignees: Assign the appropriate reviewers and, if applicable, assignees to ensure that the right people are involved in the review process. +- Complete Work: Ensure that the work is complete as defined in the project requirements. Address any outstanding issues before marking the PR as ready for review. +- Thorough Testing: Verify that the code has undergone thorough testing. Include details about the testing strategy and results in the PR description. +- Documentation: Confirm that the changes are well-documented. Documentation should not only explain how the code works but also guide future developers on its usage and maintenance. +- Address Feedback: Be responsive to feedback from reviewers. Address comments and concerns promptly to facilitate a smooth review process. +- Code Style and Standards: Ensure that the code follows established style guidelines and coding standards. Consistent formatting contributes to maintainability. +- Status Checks: Ensure that automated status checks, such as continuous integration (CI) tests, pass successfully before merging. +By adhering to these best practices, you contribute to a collaborative and efficient development process, fostering a culture of high-quality code and effective communication within the team. + +### Commits + +Clear and informative commit messages are essential for understanding the history of a project. Follow these guidelines to create meaningful commit messages. + +## Message Structure + +### Header + +- Start with a concise one-line summary +- Use present-tense verbs (e.g., "Add," "Fix," "Update") to describe the action. + +### Body + +- Optionally, provide a more detailed explanation. +- Break long explanations into bullet points if needed. + +## Be Descriptive + +- Clearly describe the purpose of the commit. +- Include information about why the change is necessary. + +## Reference Issues + +- If the commit is related to an issue, reference it in the message. +- Use keywords like "Fixes," "Closes," or "Resolves." + +## Consistency + +- Be consistent with your writing style and formatting. +- Use the imperative mood consistently throughout. + +## Examples + +### Good Example + +Here's a good example of a commit message +``` +Add user authentication feature + +- Implement user login functionality +- Enhance user registration form +- Fixes #123 +``` + +### Bad Example + +``` +Changes +- Bug fix +- Update +- Important changes +``` + +### Merge or Rebase + +If you're the sole developer on the branch, you can use rebase, if more people are collaborating together, use merge + +### Merge or Squash merge + +Squash only when it makes the history cleaner. Feature branch is a good example, because it is often short-lived, small, and authored by 1 developer. + +On the other hand, use regular merge for big feature co-authored by multiple developers eg. long-lived branches, please be aware of the [Disadvantages of squash merges](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/configuring-pull-request-merges/about-merge-methods-on-github#squashing-your-merge-commits) + +### Releasing Process + +Before tagging a release, open a branch named with the intended version e.g 10.5.x with the quality level + - alpha: doesn't have all the features, but you can use the features in there + - beta: no major, or blocking bugs.

We advocate for the following format, which aids in asynchronous communication: + +``` + +## Work Completed: +Summarize the tasks successfully finished in relation to the issue. Provide specific details to ensure clarity. + +## Work in Progress (WIP): +Detail ongoing efforts and remaining tasks related to this issue. Clearly outline items currently being worked on and those still needing attention. + +## Investigation and Solution: +If no work has been completed or is in progress, elaborate on the investigative work undertaken to address the issue. Provide insights into the problem, and if a solution was reached, include it. +``` + +For issues or stories labeled with `priority_critical`, continuous updates should be at least two updates per day to keep stakeholders informed. + +Including an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) in the comments is essential. While it serves as an estimation subject to change with new findings, it provides a valuable projection of completion. + + + +# Quality Assurance (QA) Process + +QA plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality software.

TFGrid runs as a DAO. + +The main advantage of PoC to farmers it makes it really easy to run a 3Node.

Stay tuned. + +## Introduction + +The ThreeFold Blockchain (TFChain) uses work algorythm called "Proof-of-Capacity" to verify the Internet capacity provided by 3Nodes. Put simply, PoC verifies, on an ongoing basis, that farms are honestly representing the Internet capacity they provide to the network. + +## What is proof-of-capacity? + +POC allows ThreeFold Farmers to earn reward according to their contribution. Farming is the "work" itself, the act of providing Internet capacity to the network and making it accessible via our TFDAO and TFChain. + +The PoC algorythm records four different types of Internet capacity: + +- Compute Capacity (CPU) +- Memory Capacity (RAM) +- Storage Capacity (SSD/HDD) +- Network Capacity (Bandwidth, IP Addresses) + +## Why proof-of-capacity? + +PoC comes with a number of benefits, including: + +- Energy efficiency: earning reward in form of TFT does not waste energy. +- Lower barriers to entry with reduced hardware requirements: no need for elite hardware to stand a chance for earning rewards. +- Decentralized: allows anyone to connect a 3node to the network. TFGrid runs as a DAO. + +The main advantage of PoC to farmers it makes it really easy to run a 3Node. It doesn't require huge investments in hardware or energy and everyone earns a fair reward for their contribution. It is more decentralized, allowing for increased participation, and more 3Nodes doesn't mean increased returns, like in mining. + +## How does Proof-of-Capacity work? + +1. A farmer boots hardware with Zero-OS (multiple boot methods available) +2. Zero-OS is a low level OS, with no shell, farmers cannot access Zero-OS +3. Zero-OS reports used IT capacity towards TFChain +4. TFChain and TFDAO will calculate rewards as required for the farmer (TFGrid 3.1.x) +5. TFChain will mint the required TFT and send them to account on TFChain of the farmer. +6.

USE OF THREEFOLD TOKENS + +ThreeFold_Tokens (TFTs) are a digital token used to buy autonomous and decentralized IT Capacity (compute, storage, network, IT services, applications) on the ThreeFold_Grid. TFTs have a specific commercial utility, since ThreeFold_Tokens were conceived as the designated currency for buying and selling IT Capacity on the ThreeFold_Grid. + +TFTs are exclusively generated through a process called Farming, which means that TFTs are created only when new IT Capacity is added to the ThreeFold_Grid. TFTs are registered on a blockchain which is part of the Stellar Network ([https://stellar.org](https://stellar.org/)), Binance Smart Chain, a Cosmos Chain or our own TFChain. + +The first batch of TFTs that got registered in the blockchain consists of the ‘Genesis Block’ of 685 million TFTs that were Farmed by or on behalf of the Company using an initial Farming Pool, also known as the Genesis Pool. + +Two versions of ThreeFold_Tokens have been issued: + +- A first version of the ThreeFold_Token was issued as from March 2018 on ThreeFolds initial blockchain called Rivine. These TFTs are also referred to as "TFTv1" or “TFTA”. These tokens have now been migrated to the Stellar blockchain. +- A second version of the ThreeFold_Token was issued as from May 2020 on the Stellar blockchain. These TFTs are also referred to as "TFTv2". This token is available on multiple blockchains, the total amount of tokens farmed is the same independent of blockchain used, TFBridges are used to migrate TFTs between blockchain technology. + +While the original TFTv1 kept all same properties and benefits, they are now called TFTA on the Stellar blockchain. Since the creation of the TFTv2, TFTA’s have become ThreeFolds voluntary staking pool of Tokens, which means these TFTs can only be used to buy IT Capacity and cannot be traded otherwise. However any User can convert TFTA’s into TFTs (i.e. TFTv2) by implementing a few simple migration steps which can be found [here](./tfta_to_tft.md). Once converted, any TFT’s can be traded or transferred by various means as the User deems fit, as further explain [here](../../../documentation/threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.md). + +The TF Foundation has chosen to use multiple blockchain technology for storing and managing the TFT. You can use any wallet that supports the chosen blockchain, including but not limited to the wallet included in the ThreeFold Connect app. + +Your use of the TF Products and/or TFTs constitutes your acknowledgement of the aforementioned general principles relating to the ThreeFold_Tokens. As a User you furthermore acknowledge that: + +- each TFT constitutes a value of exchange on the ThreeFold_Grid; +- you have been advised that the ThreeFold_Tokens are the result of farming which means a Farmer connects IT Capacity to the ThreeFold_Grid; +- as such the TFTs have not been registered under any country’s securities laws; +- TFTs are neither securities nor an investment instrument; and +- the purchase, creation or use of TFTs involve risks, all of which the User fully and completely assumes by entering into this Agreement. + +### 6.

It allows keeping the history out-of-the-box, good performance on disk, low overhead, easy data structure and easy backup (linear copy and immutable files). + +- [0-stor-v2](https://github.com/threefoldtech/0-stor_v2) is used to disperse the data into chunks by performing 'forward-looking error-correcting code' (FLECC) on it and send the fragments to safe locations. +It takes files in any format as input, encrypts this file with AES based on a user-defined key, then FLECC-encodes the file and spreads out the result +to multiple 0-DBs. The number of generated chunks is configurable to make it more or less robust against data loss through unavailable fragments. Even if some 0-DBs are unreachable, you can still retrieve the original data, and missing 0-DBs can even be rebuilt to have full consistency. It's an essential element of the operational backup. + +- [0-db-fs](https://github.com/threefoldtech/0-db-fs) is the filesystem driver which uses 0-DB as a primary storage engine. It manages the storage of directories and metadata in a dedicated namespace and file payloads in another dedicated namespace. + +Together they form a storage layer that is quantum secure: even the most powerful computer can't hack the system because no single node contains all of the information needed to reconstruct the data. + +![](img/quantum_safe_storage.jpg) + +This concept scales forever, and you can bring any file system on top of it: +- S3 storage +- any backup system +- an ftp-server +- IPFS and Hypercore distributed file sharing protocols +- ... + +![](img/quantum_safe_storage_scale.jpg) + diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/concepts/buying_storing_tft.md b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/concepts/buying_storing_tft.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8019cb7 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/concepts/buying_storing_tft.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +![](./img/tft.png) + +# Buying and Storing TFTs + +If you're looking to navigate the [TFT Ecosystem](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/tokens/threefold__tft_ecosystem), this collection of tutorials and manuals is here to help.

Let's explore the key details in a user-friendly manner: + +## What is the Grace Period? + +When a contract owner exhausts their wallet funds required for their deployment, the contract enters a Grace Period. During this time, the deployment becomes temporarily inaccessible to the user. However, once the wallet is replenished with TFT (ThreeFold Tokens), the contract resumes normal operation. + +It's important to note that if the Grace Period expires (typically after 2 weeks), the user's deployment and data will be deleted from the node. + +## How does it work? + +When a ``twin`` (a user account) depletes its funds, all linked contracts enter a Grace Period during the next billing cycle. +By default, the Grace Period lasts for 14 days. Throughout this period, users cannot utilize any deployments associated with the twin. + +Additionally, users cannot delete contracts during the Grace Period, whether they are related to nodes, names, or rent. +Workloads become usable again when the twin is funded with the required amount of TFT. + +If the twin is not funded during the Grace Period, the contracts will be automatically deleted after this period. + +## When does the Grace Period kick in? +The Grace Period commences when the twin balance falls below the minimum required for the respective deployments or workloads. + +## How to resume your workloads: +To regain access to workloads within the Grace Period, it is essential to fund your twin with sufficient TFT tokens. This action ensures the resumption of operations and allows you to continue your work seamlessly. + +The Grace Period feature acts as a safeguard, providing users with the opportunity to manage their funds effectively and maintain uninterrupted operations within the ThreeFold ecosystem. + +## Grace Period Contract State: Easily Accessible Information + +Checking the state of your contracts within the ``Grace Period`` is simple and convenient. Here's how you can do it: + +### Grid Weblets: +The Contracts tab on the Dashboard provides an easy way to monitor your contracts. Here, you can find comprehensive details about the desired ``contract``, including its ``State`` and ``Expiration date`` if the node is in the Grace Period. + +![](./img/manual__grace_period_weblets.png) + +### ThreeFold Grid Proxy: +Access the Grace Period contracts through the following endpoint: + +``https://gridproxy.grid.tf/contracts?state=GracePeriod&twin_id=`` + +![](./img/manual__grace_period_gridproxy.png) + +This allows you to retrieve information about contracts that are currently in the Grace Period. + +## TFChain GraphQL: +You can also check the Contract State using [__GraphQL queries__](https://graphql.grid.tf/graphql).

This text will explore some of the main components of the TFGrid as well as its inherent design in order to provide sufficient information for system administrators to deploy effective and reliable solutions. We will also cover the three main solution categories that can be built on top of the TFGrid. + +## TFGrid by Design + +At its core, the TFGrid is composed of thousands of 3Nodes. 3Nodes provide storage, compute and network units to the TFGrid. By design, 3Nodes are not reliable in themselves, in the sense that a 3Node online today could be offline tomorrow if hardware or connection failures arise. This reality is inherent to any cloud enterprises. But this does not mean that reliability is not possible on the TFGrid. To the contrary, the TFGrid is composed of different components that can be utilized to provide reliability in all aspects of the grid: storage, compute and network. It is the role of system administrators to develop solutions that will be reliable in themselves. + +A myriad of possibilities and configurations are possible within the TFGrid ecosystem and, by understanding the interconnectedness between the grid components, one can knowingly build a solid deployment that will respond to the needs of a given project. + +## Capacity and Connectivity + +When it comes to deployments, we must consider two major aspects of the Internet infrastructure: capacity and connectivity. While capacity can be thought as the individual 3Nodes composing the TFGrid, where information is processed and stored within the 3Nodes, connectivity can be thought as the links and information transfers between the 3Nodes and the public Internet. + +As a general consideration, the TFGrid works mostly on the capacity side, whereas a 3Node will always be connected to the Internet by ways of different Internet Service Providers (ISP) depending on the farmer's location and resources. The 3Nodes provide storage and compute units where users can store information on SSD and HDD disks and where they can generate compute processes with CPUs. Another major component of the TFGrid would be network units. While, as said before, the TFGrid does not provide directly connectivity as per the traditional ISP services, elements such as gateways and Wireguard VPNs are further related to network units than compute or storage units. + +To build a reliable deployment on the TFGrid, you need to take into consideration the three different types of unit on the TFGrid: storage, compute and network. Let's delve into these a little bit more. + +# TFGrid Main Components Overview and Examples + +We provide here an overview of some of the main components of the TFGrid. We also provide examples for each of those components in order for the reader to obtain a clear understanding of the TF Ecosystem. By understanding the different components of the TFGrid, system administrators will be able to deploy resilient, redundant and reliable solutions on the grid. + +For a complete list of the TFGrid components, read [this documentation](./grid3_components.md). + +## Storage Units + +Storage units are related to the data stored in SSD and HDD disks. The Quantum Safe Filesystem (QSFS) technology developed by ThreeFold ensures redundancy and resilience in storage units. If one disk of the QSFS array goes offline, the rest of the system can still function properly. To the contrary, if a user stores information on one single 3Node and this 3Node has a drastic disk failure, the user will lose the data. Another way to achieve redundancy in the storage category would be to deploy a solution with real-time synced databases of two or more 3nodes connected via a wireguard VPN. Note that other configurations offering reliability and redundancy are possible. + +Let's explore some storage components of the ThreeFold Grid. + +### 0-DB-FS + +[0-DB-FS](./grid3_components.md#0-db-fs) is storage system that allows for efficient and secure storage of files on the ThreeFold Grid. 0-DB-FS is built on top of 0-DB, which is a key-value store optimized for high performance and scalability. It provides a decentralized and distributed approach to file storage, ensuring data redundancy and availability. + +### 0-stor_v2 + +[0-stor_v2](./grid3_components.md#0-stor_v2) is a distributed and decentralized storage solution that enables data storage and retrieval on the ThreeFold Grid. + +### QSFS + +[Quantum Safe Filesystem (QSFS)](./grid3_components.md#qsfs) is ThreeFold's innovative storage solution designed to address the security challenges posed by quantum computing. QSFS employs advanced cryptographic techniques that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of stored data. By its design, QSFS also offers a high level of redundancy. + +## Compute Units + +Compute units are related to the CPUs doing calculations during the deployment. If a user deploys on a 3Node and uses the CPUs of the units while those CPUs experience failure, the user will lose compute power. as a main example, a way to achieve redundancy in the compute category would be to deploy a solution via Kubernetes. In this case, the CPU workload is balanced between the different 3Nodes of the Kubernetes cluster and if one 3Node fails, the deployment can still function properly. + +Let's explore some compute components of the ThreeFold Grid. + +### Virtual CPUs (vCPUs) + +Virtual CPUs (vCPUs) are virtual representations of physical CPUs that allow multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run concurrently on a single physical server or host. Virtualization platforms allocate vCPUs to each VM, enabling them to execute tasks and run applications as if they were running on dedicated physical hardware. The number of vCPUs assigned to a VM determines its processing power and capacity to handle workloads. On the TFGrid, the number of vCPUs is limited to the physical number of CPUs on the host (i.e. the 3Node). Since this limitation is done per VM, this means that a node with 8 cores can still have 2 VMs each with 8 vCPUs. + +### Kubernetes + +[Kubernetes](../../../documentation/dashboard/solutions/k8s.md) is an open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management. On the TFGrid, Kubernetes clusters can be deployed out of the box. Thus, system administrators can seamlessly deploy solutions on the TFGrid that are reliable in terms of compute units. + +### TF Grid-SDK-Go and TF Grid-SDK-TS + +The [TFGrid-SDK-Go](./grid3_components.md#tf-grid-sdk-go) and [TFGrid-SDK-TS](./grid3_components.md#tf-grid-sdk-ts) enable developers to interact with the ThreeFold Grid infrastructure, such as provisioning and managing compute resources, accessing storage, and interacting with the blockchain-based services. They provide a standardized and convenient way to leverage the features and capabilities of the ThreeFold Grid within Go and Typescript applications. + +## Network Units + +Network units are related to the data transmitted over the Internet. While TFGrid does not provide direct ISP services, elements such as gateways are clearly related to the network. [Gateways](../../../documentation/system_administrators/terraform/resources/terraform_vm_gateway.md) can be used to balance network workloads. A deployment could consist of two different gateways with a master node gateway and a worker node gateway. If the master gateway would fail, the worker gateway would take the lead and become the master gateway. Deploying solutions with several gateways can help system administrators build reliable solutions. + +Note that it is also possible to deploy a Wireguard virtual private network (VPN) between different 3Nodes and synchronize their databases. This provides resilience and redundancy. Read more on VPN and synced databases [here](../../../documentation/system_administrators/terraform/advanced/terraform_mariadb_synced_databases.md). + +Let's explore some network components of the ThreeFold Grid. + +### Reliable Message Bus Relay (RMB-RS) + +[Reliable Message Bus Relay (RMB-RS)](./grid3_components.md#reliable-message-bus-relay-rmb-rs) is a component or system that facilitates the reliable and secure transfer of messages between different entities or systems within the ThreeFold ecosystem. It acts as a relay or intermediary, ensuring that messages are delivered accurately and efficiently, even in the presence of network disruptions or failures. The RMB-RS employs robust protocols and mechanisms to guarantee message reliability, integrity, and confidentiality. + +### TCP-Router + +[TCP-Router](./grid3_components.md#tcp-router) is a component of the ThreeFold technology stack that acts as a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) router and load balancer. It serves as a network gateway for incoming TCP connections, routing them to the appropriate destinations based on predefined rules and configurations. The TCP-Router component is responsible for distributing incoming network traffic across multiple backend services or nodes, ensuring efficient load balancing and high availability. + +# Solution Categories + +There are three main solution categories on the TFGrid: DIY workloads, independent commercial offerings, and ThreeFold commercial offerings. Let's take a look at them and discuss their basic properties. + +## DIY Workloads + +Out-of-the-box applications are available on the [TF Dashboard](../../../documentation/dashboard/deploy/applications.md) and [Terraform](../../../documentation/system_administrators/terraform/terraform_toc.md), where anyone can [buy TFTs](../../../documentation/threefold_token/buy_sell_tft/buy_sell_tft.md) and deploy on the decentralized and open-source grid. The reliability of those deployments depend on the capacity and resources of each DIY system administrator. + +In essence, when you deploy on the decentralized and open-source TFGrid, you act as a centralized entity building the solution architecture. You must design the solution in a way that it can be reliable with high-availability and resilience levels that suit the needs of your project. + +Note that when you deploy on the ThreeFold Grid, you are doing so in accordance with the [ThreeFold Terms and Conditions](../../legal/terms_conditions_all3.md). + +## Independent Commercial Offerings + +Since the TFGrid is open-source, anyone could decide to build a commercial offering on top of the grid. In this case, it would be recommended for the commercial offering to provide Terms and Conditions, clear support, a website to advertise the product and a marketing strategy to obtain customers. + +In this case, the commercial offering is the centralized entity and if the company makes a mistake, it would be liable to the users to the extent discussed in the T&C. + +The ThreeFold Manual already contains a lot of resourceful information on how to [deploy applications](../../../documentation/dashboard/deploy/applications.md) on the TFGrid. We invite everyone to develop independent commercial offerings on top of the ThreeFold Grid. + +## ThreeFold Commercial Offerings + +ThreeFold is building commercial offerings on top of the TFGrid. Those commercial offerings are for-profit organizations. Each of those organizations would function as a centralized entity. + +ThreeFold Ventures will be the branch exploring this aspect of the TF Ecosystem. A major project on the way is [ThreeFold Cloud](https://cloud.threefold.io/). ThreeFold Cloud is thus a centralized entity that will generate its own Terms and Conditions, support, marketing and website strategy. Furthermore, ThreeFold Cloud will be liable to its users to the extent developed in the ThreeFold Cloud Terms and Conditions. + +# Best Practices + +This text provided an introduction to some deployment architectures and solution categories possible on the TFGrid. In the future, we will expand on some of the main TFGrid best practices. Stay tuned for more on this topic. + +Some of the best practices to be covered are the following: + +* Use Kubernetes to deploy redundant workloads +* Use multi-gateways deployments for redundancy + * Deploy manually two VMs + * Use two webgateways to access the VMs + * Choose a data replication strategy to have content on both places (e.g. syncing databases) +* Use continous deployment and integration workloads + * Deploy on 2 different VMs + * Ensure continuous deployment and integration when changes occur +* Use DNS with redundancy +* Use QSFS for storage resilience and redundancy + +These are only a few of the many possibilities that the TFGrid offers. We invite everyone to explore the TFGrid and share their experience and learning. + +# Questions and Feedback + +If you have any questions or feedback, we invite you to discuss with the ThreeFold community on the [ThreeFold Forum](http://forum.threefold.io/) or on the [ThreeFold Grid Tester Community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) chat on Telegram. diff --git

This has largely happened over time - as the internet has grown, more and more networks have been “bolted together”. The lack of defined topology gives us some unavoidable problems: + +- The routing tables that hold a “map” of the internet are huge and inefficient +- There isn’t really any way for a computer to know where it is located on the internet relative to anything else +- It’s difficult to examine where a packet will go on its journey from source to destination without actually sending it +- It’s very difficult to install reliable networks into locations that change often or are non-static, i.e. wireless mesh networks + +These problems have been partially mitigated (but not really solved) through centralization - rather than your computers at home holding a copy of the global routing table, your ISP does it for you. Your computers and network devices are configured just to “send it upstream” and to let your ISP decide where it goes from there, but this does leave you entirely at the mercy of your ISP who can redirect your traffic anywhere they like and to inspect, manipulate or intercept it. + +In addition, wireless meshing requires you to know a lot about the network around you, which would not typically be the case when you have outsourced this knowledge to your ISP.

This guides opts to mount the fuse +filesystem in `/mnt`. Again, assuming the 0-db-fs binary was saved as +`/tmp/0-db-fs`: + +```bash +/tmp/0-db-fs /mnt -o autons -o background +``` + +You should now have the qsfs filesystem mounted at `/mnt`. As you write +data, it will save it in the local 0-db, and it's data containers will +be periodically encoded and uploaded to the backend data storage 0-db's. +The data files in the local 0-db will never occupy more than 25GiB of +space (as configured in the 0-stor config file). If a data container is +removed due to space constraints, and data inside of it needs to be +accessed by the filesystem (e.g. a file is being read), then the data +container is recovered from the backend storage 0-db's by 0-stor, and +0-db can subsequently serve this data to 0-db-fs. + +### 0-db-fs limitation + +Any workload should be supported on this filesystem, with some exceptions: + +- Opening a file in 'always append mode' will not have the expected behavior +- There is no support of O_TMPFILE by fuse layer, which is a feature required by + overlayfs, thus this is not supported. Overlayfs is used by Docker for example. + +## docker setup + +It is possible to run the zstor in a docker container. First, create a data directory +on your host. Then, save the config file in the data directory as `zstor.toml`. Ensure +the storage 0-db's are running as desribed above. Then, run the docker container +as such: + +``` +docker run -ti --privileged --rm --network host --name fstest -v /path/to/data:/data -v /mnt:/mnt:shared azmy/qsfs +``` + +The filesystem is now available in `/mnt`. + +## Autorepair + +Autorepair automatically repairs object stored in the backend when one or more shards +are not reachable anymore. It does this by periodically checking if all the backends +are still reachable. If it detects that one or more of the backends used by an encoded +object are not reachable, the healthy shards are downloaded, the object is restored +and encoded again (possibly with a new config, if it has since changed), and uploaded +again. + +Autorepair does not validate the integrity of individual shards. This is protectected +against by having multiple spare (redundant) shards for an object. Corrupt shards +are detected when the object is rebuild, and removed before attempting to rebuild. +Autorepair also does not repair the metadata of objects. + +## Monitoring, alerting and statistics + +0-stor collects metrics about the system. It can be configured with a 0-db-fs mountpoint, +which will trigger 0-stor to collect 0-db-fs statistics, next to some 0-db statistics +which are always collected. If the `prometheus_port` config option is set, 0-stor +will serve metrics on this port for scraping by prometheus. You can then set up +graphs and alerts in grafana. Some examples include: disk space used vs available +per 0-db backend, total entries in 0-db backends, which backends are tracked, ... +When 0-db-fs monitoring is enabled, statistics are also exported about the filesystem +itself, such as read/write speeds, syscalls, and internal metrics + +For a full overview of all available stats, you can set up a prometheus scraper against +a running instance, and use the embedded promQl to see everything available. + +## Data safety + +As explained in the auto repair section, data is periodically checked and rebuild if +0-db backends become unreachable. This ensures that data, once stored, remains available, +as long as the metadata is still present. When needed, the system can be expanded with more +0-db backends, and the encoding config can be changed if needed (e.g. to change encryption keys). + +## Performance + +Qsfs is not a high speed filesystem, nor is it a distributed filesystem. It is intended to +be used for archive purposes. For this reason, the qsfs stack focusses on data safety first. +Where needed, reliability is chosen over availability (i.e. we won't write data if we can't +guarantee all the conditions in the required storage profile is met). + +With that being said, there are currently 2 limiting factors in the setup: +- speed of the disk on which the local 0-db is running +- network + +The first is the speed of the disk for the local 0-db. This imposes a hard limit on +the throughput of the filesystem. Performance testing has shown that write speeds +on the filesystem reach performance of roughly 1/3rd of the raw performance of the +disk for writing, and 1/2nd of the read performance. Note that in the case of _very_ +fast disks (mostly NVMe SSD's), the cpu might become a bottleneck if it is old and +has a low clock speed. Though this should not be a problem. + +The network is more of a soft cap. All 0-db data files will be encoded and distributed +over the network. This means that the upload speed of the node needs to be able to +handle this data througput. In the case of random data (which is not compressable), +the required upload speed would be the write speed of the 0-db-fs, increased by the +overhead generated by the storage policy. There is no feedback to 0-db-fs if the upload +of data is lagging behind. This means that in cases where a sustained high speed write +load is applied, the local 0-db might eventually grow bigger than the configured size limit +until the upload managed to catch up. If this happens for prolonged periods of time, it +is technically possible to run out of space on the disk. For this reason, you should +always have some extra space available on the disk to account for temprorary cache +excess. + +When encoded data needs to be recovered from backend nodes (if it is not in cache), +the read speed will be equal to the connection speed of the slowest backend, as all +shards are recovered before the data is build. This means that recovery of historical +data will generally be a slow process. Since we primarily focus on archive storage, +we do not consider this a priority. diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/create_png b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/create_png new file mode 100755 index 0000000..b232adf --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/create_png @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +#!/bin/bash + +for name in ./*.mmd +do + output=$(basename $name mmd)png + echo $output + mmdc -i $name -o $output -w 4096 -H 2160 -b transparant + echo $name +done diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/data_origin.mmd b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/data_origin.mmd new file mode 100644 index 0000000..52c61dc --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/data_origin.mmd @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +graph TD + subgraph Data Origin + file[Large chunk of data = part_1part_2part_3part_4] + parta[part_1] + partb[part_2] + partc[part_3] + partd[part_4] + file -.- |split part_1|parta + file -.- |split part_2|partb + file -.- |split part 3|partc + file -.- |split part 4|partd + parta --> partb --> partc --> partd + end \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/data_substitution.mmd b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/data_substitution.mmd new file mode 100644 index 0000000..89a1212 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/concept/img/data_substitution.mmd @@ -0,0 +1,20 @@ +graph TD + subgraph Data Substitution + parta[part_1] + partb[part_2] + partc[part_3] + partd[part_4] + parta -.-> vara[ A = part_1] + partb -.-> varb[ B = part_2] + partc -.-> varc[ C = part_3] + partd -.-> vard[ D = part_4] + end + subgraph Create equations with the data parts + eq1[A + B + C + D = 6] + eq2[A + B + C -

We could not continue to make full copies of data to make sure it is stored reliably. This will simply not scale. We need to move from securing the whole dataset to securing all the objects that make up a dataset. + +ThreeFold is using space technology to store data (fragments) over multiple devices (physical storage devices in 3Nodes). The solution does not distribute and store parts of an object (file, photo, movie...) but describes the part of an object. This could be visualized by thinking of it as equations. + + +### Details + +Let a,b,c,d.... be the parts of that original object. You could create endless unique equations using these parts. A simple example: let's assume we have 3 parts of original objects that have the following values: +``` +a=1 +b=2 +c=3 +``` +(and for reference that part of real-world objects is not a simple number like `1` but a unique digital number describing the part, like the binary code for it `110101011101011101010111101110111100001010101111011.....`). With these numbers we could create endless amounts of equations: +``` +1: a+b+c=6 +2: c-b-a=0 +3: b-c+a=0 +4: 2b+a-c=2 +5: 5c-b-a=12 +...... +``` +Mathematically we only need 3 to describe the content (=value) of the fragments. But creating more adds reliability. Now store those equations distributed (one equation per physical storage device) and forget the original object. So we no longer have access to the values of a, b, c and see and we just remember the locations of all the equations created with the original data fragments. Mathematically we need three equations (any 3 of the total) to recover the original values for a, b or c. So do a request to retrieve 3 of the many equations and the first 3 to arrive are good enough to recalculate the original values. Three randomly retrieved equations are: + +``` +5c-b-a=12 +b-c+a=0 +2b+a-c=2 +``` +And this is a mathematical system we could solve: +- First: `b-c+a=0 -> b=c-a` +- Second: `2b+a-c=2 -> c=2b+a-2 -> c=2(c-a)+a-2 -> c=2c-2a+a-2 -> c=a+2` +- Third: `5c-b-a=12 -> 5(a+2)-(c-a)-a=12 -> 5a+10-(a+2)+a-a=12 -> 5a-a-2=2 -> 4a=4 -> a=1` + +Now that we know `a=1` we could solve the rest `c=a+2=3` and `b=c-a=2`. And we have from 3 random equations regenerated the original fragments and could now recreate the original object. + +The redundancy and reliability in such system comes in the form of creating (more than needed) equations and storing them. As shown these equations in any random order could recreate the original fragments and therefore +redundancy comes in at a much lower overhead. + +### Example of 16/4 + +![](img/quantumsafe_storage_algo.jpg) + + +Each object is fragmented into 16 parts. So we have 16 original fragments for which we need 16 equations to mathematically describe them. Now let's make 20 equations and store them dispersedly on 20 devices. To recreate the original object we only need 16 equations, the first 16 that we find and collect which allows us to recover the fragment and in the end the original object. We could lose any 4 of those original 20 equations. + +The likelihood of losing 4 independent, dispersed storage devices at the same time is very low. Since we have continuous monitoring of all of the stored equations, we could create additional equations immediately when one of them is missing, making it an auto-regeneration of lost data and a self-repairing storage system. The overhead in this example is 4 out of 20 which is a mere **20%** instead of (up to) **400%.** + +### Content distribution Policy (10/50) + +This system can be used as backend for content delivery networks. + +Imagine a movie being stored on 60 locations from which we can loose 50 at the same time. + +If someone now wants to download the data the first 10 locations who answer fastest will provide enough of the data parts to allow the data to be rebuild. + +The overhead here is much more compared to previous example but stil order of magnitude lower compared to other cdn systems. + + +!!!def alias:quantumsafe_storage_algo,quantumsafe_storage_algorithm,space_algo,space_algorithm,quantum_safe_storage_algo,qs_algo,qs_codec + +!!!include:qsss_toc \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/qss_datarot.md b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/qss_datarot.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9ae4e4e --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/qss_datarot.md @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +# Datarot Cannot Happen on our Storage System + +Fact that data storage degrades over time and becomes unreadable, on e.g. a harddisk. +The storage system provided by ThreeFold intercepts this silent data corruption, making that it can pass by unnotified. + +> see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_degradation + +!!!def alias:bitrot,datarot \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/qss_zero_knowledge_proof.md b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/qss_zero_knowledge_proof.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..71f4de3 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/product/qss_zero_knowledge_proof.md @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ + +# Zero Knowledge Proof Storage system. + +The quantum save storage system is zero knowledge proof compliant.

The OS does not have a login shell and does not allow people to log in with physical access to a keyboard and screen nor does it allows logins over the network. There is no way the 3node accepts user initiated login attempts. +- For certified capacity a group of known strategic vendors are able to lock the [BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS) of their server range and make sure no-one but them can unlock and change features present in the BIOS. Some vendors have an even higher degree of security and can store private keys in chips in side the computer to provider unique identification based on private keys or have mechanisms to check wether the server has been opened / tampered with in the transportation from the factory / vendor to the Farmer. All of this leads to maximum protection on the hardware level. +- 3nodes boot from a network facility. This means that they do not have local installed operating system files. Also they do not have a local username / password file or database. Viruses and hackers have very little work with if there are no local files to plant viruses or trojan horses in. Also the boot facility provides hashes for the files sent to the booting 3node so that the 3node can check wether is receives the intended file, no more man in the middle attacks. +- The zos_fs provides the same hash and file check mechanism. Every application file presented to a booting container has a hash describing it and the 3node on which the container is booting can verify if the received file matches the previously received hash. +- Every deployment of one or more applications starts with the creation of a (private) [znet](../../primitives/network/znet.md). This private overlay network is single tenant and not connected to the public internet.

The OS does not have a login shell and does not allow people to log in with physical access to a keyboard and screen nor does it allows logins over the network. There is no way the 3node accepts user initiated login attempts. +- For certified capacity a group of known strategic vendors are able to lock the [BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS) of their server range and make sure no-one but them can unlock and change features present in the BIOS. Some vendors have an even higher degree of security and can store private keys in chips in side the computer to provider unique identification based on private keys or have mechanisms to check wether the server has been opened / tampered with in the transportation from the factory / vendor to the Farmer. All of this leads to maximum protection on the hardware level. +- 3nodes boot from a network facility. This means that they do not have local installed operating system files. Also they do not have a local username / password file or database. Viruses and hackers have very little work with if there are no local files to plant viruses or trojan horses in. Also the boot facility provides hashes for the files sent to the booting 3node so that the 3node can check wether is receives the intended file, no more man in the middle attacks. +- The zos_fs provides the same hash and file check mechanism. Every application file presented to a booting container has a hash describing it and the 3node on which the container is booting can verify if the received file matches the previously received hash. +- Every deployment of one or more applications starts with the creation of a (private) [znet](../../primitives/network/znet.md). This private overlay network is single tenant and not connected to the public internet. Every application or service that is started in a container in this overlay network is connection to all of the other containers via a point to point, encrypted network connection. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zero_os_overview.jpg b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zero_os_overview.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0550294 Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zero_os_overview.jpg differ diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos22.png b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos22.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a40cfa3 Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos22.png differ diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos_network_overview.jpg b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos_network_overview.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..febb1d6 Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos_network_overview.jpg differ diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos_overview_compute_storage.jpg b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos_overview_compute_storage.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..23257e5 Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/img/zos_overview_compute_storage.jpg differ diff --git a/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/zos.md b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/zos.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5522e68 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/tfmanual/knowledge_base/technology/zos/zos.md @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +![](img/zos22.png) + +# Zero-OS + +![](img/zero_os_overview.jpg) + + +!!!include:whatis_zos + +### Imagine an operating system with the following benefits + +- upto 10x more efficient for certain workloads (e.g. storage) +- no install required +- all files are deduped for the VM's, containers and the ZOS itself, no more data duplicated filesystems +- the hacking footprint is super small, which leads to much more safe systems + - every file is fingerprinted and gets checked at launch time of an application + - there is no shell or server interface on the operating system + - the networks are end2end encrypted between all Nodes +- there is the possibility to completely disconnect the compute/storage from the network service part which means hackers have a lot less chance to get to the data. +- a smart contract for IT layer allows groups of people to deploy IT workloads with concensus and full control +- all workloads which can run on linux can run on Zero-OS but in a much more controlled, private and safe way + +> ThreeFold has created an operating system from scratch, we used the Linux kernel and its components and then build further on it, we have been able to achieve all above benefits. + +## The requirements for our TFGrid based on Zero OS are: + +- **Autonomy**: TF Grid needs to create compute, storage and networking capacity everywhere.
