Requirements
MANTA Bond
Hardware and Infrastructure
a. Running on your own hardware and within you own premises (recommended):
node system host
- cpu: 8 cores
- memory: 32 gb of ram (more is better)
- disk space: 500 gb of disk space dedicated to the blockchain basepath (more is better)
infrastructure and environment
network bandwidth: 100 mbps+
internet-accessible ports:
- 31333: default manta peer-to-peer port
- 31334: default (embedded-relay) polkadot peer-to-peer port
- 9615: default manta metrics port
- 9616: default (embedded-relay) polkadot metrics port
you should monitor your own node using the techniques described on the polkadot wiki. the metrics exposed on ports 9615 and 9616 facilitate this, so these ports should be accessible both from your own prometheus/alertmanager server (which should be configured to alert you) and manta devops' pulse server at
18.156.192.254
(monitored by manta devops).an uninterrupted power supply to both the node and the network switches and routers that provide its connectivity must be capable of keeping the system online during provider power outages
a failover 4g or 5g router should be included in your network topology to provide connectivity in the event of a wired or fibre connection failure
your network management should include automatic dns updates in the event of changes to your nodes publicly accessible ip addressing
b. Running on AWS EC2
- instance type: r5ad.xlarge or similar
- image: Ubuntu 22.04 (latest ubuntu server ami from Canonical/099720109477)
c. Azure/GCP or other cloud/datacenter provider
- Please use your judgement to match or surpass the requirements for other environments above
