# QSFS Virtual Machine
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Deploy a new virtual machine with QSFS on the Threefold Grid
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Make sure you have an activated [profile](./weblets_profile_manager.md)
|
|||
|
- Click on the **QFSF Virtual Machine** tab
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Process
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Fill in the instance name: it's used to reference the QVM in the future.
|
|||
|
- For now the QVM comes with
|
|||
|
- `Ubuntu-22.04 image`
|
|||
|
- `1 CPU`
|
|||
|
- `2 GB RAM`
|
|||
|
- `Public IPv4` flag gives the QSFS virtual machine a Public IPv4
|
|||
|
- `Public IPv6` flag gives the QSFS virtual machine a Public IPv6
|
|||
|
- `Planetary Network` to connect the QSFS Virtual Machine to Planetary network
|
|||
|
- Choose the node to deploy on which can be
|
|||
|
- Manual: where you specify the node id yourself
|
|||
|
- Automatic: Suggests nodes list based on search criteria e.g `country`, `farm`, capacity..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
Clicking on _Environment Variables_ and then _Add_ button allows you to define environment variables to pass to the QSFS virtual machine.
|
|||
|
> Note the Public SSH key in the profile is automatically used as variable `SSH_KEY` passed to all Virtual Machines, so you have to activate the SSH key on the [profile](weblets_profile_manager)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### QSFS Disk
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Clicking on _QSFS_ allows you to define QSFS configuration.
|
|||
|
> For more information about QSFS, please consult [Quantum Safe Filesystem](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/technology/threefold__qsfs)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- `Name`: QSFS disk Name: It’s used in links to the QSFS virtual machine
|
|||
|
- `Secret`: It's used in some encryption processes.
|
|||
|
- `Count`: the count of ZDBs: _minimum_ is three ZDBs, it actually added to 4 ZDBs that are used in the cache
|
|||
|
- `Number of Nodes`: a number of nodes that the ZDBs will distribute on.
|
|||
|
- `mountpoint`: where it will be mounted on its VM by default it will be the same as the QSFS name
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Choose the nodes to deploy on which will be `Automatic`
|
|||
|
- It suggests nodes list based on search criteria e.g `farm`, capacity..
|
|||
|
- After clicking on `Apply Filters and Suggest Nodes` there is an indicator for how many nodes founded available.
|
|||
|
- Clicking on the `Please select a node` field, will drop down a list of the nodes, choose the nodes to meet the number of nodes selected in the `Number of Nodes` field.
