Running 30 OptimAI Nodes on a Single VPS

OptimAI has a limitation of up to 30 nodes running simultaneously per account. To launch each node, you need a separate Docker daemon and hardware fingerprint. Below I've provided a micro-guide on using my script for installing LXD containers on a VPS and running 30 nodes on a single server.

1. System Requirements

To get started, we recommend a VPS with at least 8 CPU / 32 RAM / Ubuntu 22.04.

• Lumadock: Rent here (Note: use discount promocode 10% : STARTNOW10 )
• Contabo: Rent here (Note: proof of residence may be required)

2. Installation

After launching your server, run the following command to download, set permissions, and execute the management script:

wget -O lxd_optimai_manager.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VaniaHilkovets/optimai_lxd_cli/main/lxd_optimai_manager_eng.sh \
&& chmod +x lxd_optimai_manager.sh \
&& ./lxd_optimai_manager.sh

3. Menu Overview

Once the script is launched, you will see a management menu:

Installation and Setup

• Update System (1): Updates OS packages and installs core dependencies.
• Install LXD & Create Containers (2): Configures virtualization and creates isolated containers.
• Setup Docker inside Containers (3): Installs the environment inside each container. Note: This step may take a significant amount of time as it processes each node individually.
• Install CLI (4): Downloads the node management tool into the containers.

Node Management

• Login (5): Automates authorization across selected containers.
• Start Nodes (6): Launches node workflows in the background.
• Stop Nodes (7): Safely terminates operations.
• View Logs (8): Displays real-time activity of a specific node.
• Check Status (9): Shows which nodes are running or stopped.

Additional Tools

• Configure SWAP (10): Prevents memory exhaustion (Recommended if RAM < 32GB).
• Update CLI (11): Checks for and installs the latest software version.
• Delete All Containers (12): Completely wipes the system clean.

4. Quick Start Guide

To fully set up your nodes, follow the menu options sequentially from 1 to 6.

• Sequential Setup: Complete steps 1-6 for a full installation.
• Incremental Installation: You can install nodes in parts (e.g., set up 5, then add more later by running Option 2 again).
• Scaling: If you add nodes later, just follow the same sequence for the new containers.
