# Starting a Generic/Public Veilid Bootstrap Server
|
|
|
|
## Instance Recommended Setup
|
|
|
|
CPU: Single
|
|
RAM: 1GB
|
|
Storage: 25GB
|
|
IP: Static v4 & v6
|
|
Firewall: 5150/TCP/UDP inbound allow all
|
|
|
|
## Install Veilid
|
|
|
|
Follow instructions in [INSTALL.md](./INSTALL.md)
|
|
|
|
## Configure Veilid as Bootstrap
|
|
|
|
### Stop the Veilid service
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo systemctl stop veilid-server.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setup the config
|
|
|
|
In _/etc/veilid-server/veilid-server.conf`_ ensure _bootstrap: ['bootstrap.<your.domain>']_ in the _routing_table:_ section
|
|
|
|
If you came here from the [dev network setup](./dev-setup/dev-network-setup.md) guide, this is when you set the network key.
|
|
|
|
**Switch to veilid user**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -u veilid /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate a new keypair
|
|
|
|
Copy the output to secure storage such as a password manager. This information will be used in the next step and can be used for node recovery, moving to a different server, etc.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
veilid-server --generate-key-pair
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create new node ID and flush existing route table
|
|
|
|
Include the brackets [] when pasting the keys. Use the public key in the command. Secret key will be requested interactively and will not echo when pasted.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
veilid-server --set-node-id [PUBLIC_KEY] --delete-table-store
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate the DNS TXT record
|
|
|
|
Copy the output to secure storage. This information will be use to setup DNS records.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
veilid-server --dump-txt-record
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Start the Veilid service
|
|
|
|
Disconnect from the Veilid user and start veilid-server.service.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo systemctl start veilid-server.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally configure the service to start at boot `sudo systemctl enable veilid-server.service`
|
|
|
|
_REPEAT FOR EACH BOOTSTRAP SERVER_
|
|
|
|
## Enter DNS Records
|
|
|
|
Create the following DNS Records for your domain:
|
|
|
|
(This example assumes two bootstrap serves are being created)
|
|
|
|
| Record | Value | Record Type |
|
|
|-----------|-----------------------------|-------------|
|
|
|bootstrap | 1,2 | TXT |
|
|
|1.bootstrap| IPv4 | A |
|
|
|1.bootstrap| IPv6 | AAAA |
|
|
|1.bootstrap| output of --dump-txt-record | TXT |
|
|
|2.bootstrap| IPv4 | A |
|
|
|2.bootstrap| IPv6 | AAAA |
|
|
|2.bootstrap| output of --dump-txt-record | TXT |
|
