Pipe Network Node | Manual

1. First of all, purchase a server from AEZA.

We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed.

Server specifications:

Recommended Requirements:

CPU: 2 cores
RAM: 4GB
Disk: 100 GB SSD (minimun, recomend 200 gb)

2. Set up the server on your PC.

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

The Unichain node uses this port: 8003

Before installing the node, make sure these ports are not in use.
