NodeSetup / Batchsetup
With this script you can easily set up 1 or more nodes at the same time. The script installs docker if necessary.
Tested on two machines under Ubuntu 22 and 24.
Instructions:
- Download the Script:
Open a terminal and use wget or curl to download the script. If you don’t have wget installed, you might need to install it or use curl instead.
- Using wget:
bash
wget https://klever-radar.de/software/nodes/create_nodes.sh
- Using curl:
bash
curl -O https://klever-radar.de/software/nodes/create_nodes.sh
This will save the script in your current directory.
2. Make the Script Executable:
After downloading, you need to change the script’s permissions to allow it to be executed:
bash
chmod +x create_nodes.sh
3. Run the Script:
Since the script might require sudo for certain operations like Docker management, you should run it with elevated privileges:
bash
sudo ./create_nodes.sh
If you’re not in the directory where you downloaded the script, you’ll need to navigate there first or provide the full path:
bash
sudo /path/to/downloaded/script/create_nodes.sh
Additional Notes:
-
Backup: Before running scripts that modify system settings or files, make sure you have backups of critical data.
-
Review: It’s always a good practice to review or at least skim through the content of any script before running it, especially with sudo. You can view the script contents with:
bash
cat create_nodes.sh
-
Environment: Ensure Docker is installed or the script will install it for you. Also, check if you have necessary tools like curl, tar, and sudo available.
-
Security: Be cautious with scripts from the internet. This script requires sudo privileges for operations like Docker container management, so only proceed if you trust the source.
