How to Setup a Operator ?
- min 8 GB RAM
- 20 GB storage
- 4+ core CPU
- Default ports are 12001 UDP and 13001 TCP, 9090TCP & 9390 TCP for prometheus & 3000 tcp for grafana
Use Geth as your execution client. Erigon is still not recommended by SSV network.
sudo su
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bloxapp/ssv/main/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
docker run -d --name=ssv_node_op_key -it 'bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest' \
/go/bin/ssvnode generate-operator-keys && docker logs ssv_node_op_key --follow \
&& docker stop ssv_node_op_key && docker rm ssv_node_op_key
This will genrate 2 Keys Private key (Secret key) and Public key.
Please make sure to store and backup your operator secret key in a safe place.
Do not share this key with anyone.
cd $HOME
nano config.yaml
Simply replace the value and copy and paste the following and save the file.

UdpPort: 12001
eth2:

BeaconNodeAddr: http://<consensus_client_ip>:3500
eth1:
ETH1Addr: ws://<execution_client_ip>:8545
OperatorPrivateKey: <Add_your_private_key>==
global:
LogLevel: debug
MetricsAPIPort: 15000
Install Docker and run the following command
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name=ssv_node -e \
CONFIG_PATH=./config.yaml -p 13001:13001 -p 12001:12001 -v \
$(pwd)/config.yaml:/config.yaml -v $(pwd):/data -it \
'bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest' make BUILD_PATH=/go/bin/ssvnode start-node \
&& docker logs ssv_node --follow
Look for the Latest Update in Community Discord Channel.
Kill running container and pull the latest image or a specific version.
$ docker rm -f ssv_node && docker pull bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest
and than again start node with docker.
