**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:**

1. 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

```auto
wget https://klever-radar.de/software/nodes/create_nodes.sh

```

- Using curl:

bash

```auto
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

```auto
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

```auto
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

```auto
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

```auto
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.
