This information was auto-extracted from the GitHub repository and may be incomplete or out of date. Always refer to the subnet's GitHub repository for the latest instructions.
Requires Intel TDX enabled, TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) support mandatory. Installer wipes all eligible disks on the machine. Hardware must be dedicated to TargonOS. Specific GPU models (H200, B200) are referenced in auction targets with minimum cluster sizes (e.g., 8 cards minimum).
Basic compute resources required. Validator runs in a VM on the CPU server. AMD SEV-SNP hardware recommended but setup docs focus on CPU-only requirements.
Enable Intel TME, TME-MT, TDX, SEAM loader, and SGX in BIOS CPU Configuration
Configure BIOS with Intel TDX settings following the guide in installing-targonos.md
Obtain either the ISO (targonos-0.1.0-amd64.iso) for interactive install or chainload the iPXE netboot installer
Download TargonOS installer from https://releases.targon.com/0.1.0/
For iPXE: pass targon.install.unattended=1 and targon.install.hotkey=word1-word2-...-wordN. For ISO: boot from virtual media and follow interactive prompts including network setup, disk selection, and hotkey entry
Run TargonOS installer with hotkey seed phrase via iPXE or ISO boot
Optionally verify integrity of downloaded files before installation(optional)
Verify installer artifacts: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
Add TargonOS node IPs, external miner IP, port, hotkey phrase, chain endpoint, netuid, and minimum stake settings
Create or update config.json with node IP addresses and miner configuration
Start the miner service using Docker Compose
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose-miner.yml up -d --build
Install sn4 CLI tool from Targon APT repository for management and monitoring(optional)
sudo apt install sn4
Install sn4 CLI from Targon APT repository on the validator CPU server
sudo curl -fsSL https://releases.targon.com/targon.gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/targon.gpg && echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/targon.gpg] https://releases.targon.com/apt stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/targon.list && sudo apt update && sudo apt install sn4
Set up environment configuration. Generate random credentials for Mongo using tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 </dev/urandom | head -c 24; echo. Optional variables include TIMEOUT_MULT, DISCORD_URL, NETUID, CHAIN_ENDPOINT
Create .env file in project directory with required variables: HOTKEY_PHRASE, MONGO_USERNAME, MONGO_PASSWORD, VALIDATOR_IP
Download and prepare the validator VM image on the AMD SEV-SNP enabled server
Run tvm/install binary with arguments: --hotkey-phrase '<phrase>' --node-type vali-cpu --submit --service-url http://tvm.targon.com --vm-download-dir /vms/manifold
Start the validator VM. To stop: ps -aux | grep qemu and sudo kill -9 [pid]
cd /vms/manifold && sudo launch_vm.sh
Initialize the validator with environment variables. Must be run on the server hosting the VM or use --ip flag. Confirm environment file when prompted
sn4 vali init [path to .env file]
Monitor validator logs after initialization(optional)
sn4 vali containers && sn4 vali logs --container [container name]
Update validator when new versions available(optional)
sn4 vali update
