  Phase 1: System hardening
  Phase 2: Client installation (after reboot)

Configuration complete. Run Phase 1 from the path shown above.

Install

One command, production-ready node

Copy the one-line installer to bootstrap a hardened server, then continue with the guided configuration wizard.

Creates a locked-down operator user and enforces SSH best practices.

Installs execution + consensus clients with MEV relay presets.

Configures systemd services, health checks, and monitoring hooks.

Two-phase security model

Phase one runs as root to harden the host. After reboot, phase two completes client installs as the new operator.

Prefer manual? Use the pre-existing run_1.sh and run_2.sh scripts—see Get Started.

Bootstraps safely

Runs a two-phase flow: hardened base setup, reboot, then client install.

Configurable wizard

Supports guided TUI on a real TTY and auto-falls back to non-interactive defaults for one-line piped installs.

Everything included

Sets up monitoring, firewalls, and service management automatically.

Workflow

From bare metal to synced node

A streamlined workflow built for production reliability, with guardrails at every step.

Each phase is reversible and logged, so you can validate changes before proceeding.

Bootstrap the host

Run the one-line installer to clone the repo, verify requirements, and launch the wizard.

Includes firewall rules, SSH hardening, and a non-root operator user.

Reboot & validate

Reboot to confirm secure access with the new user and updated SSH settings.

The script pauses and reminds you to verify access before proceeding.

Install clients

Select execution and consensus clients, MEV relay presets, and monitoring.

The installer configures services, systemd units, and auto-start.

Go live

Start services and monitor sync progress from a dedicated dashboard.

Health checks and logs are included for ongoing ops.

Features
