Guide: How to Set Up a File Node Pool

File Nodes are introduced here in the copiwiki, what follows is instructions on how to setup and host one.


Steps


If you plan on setting up your node pool locally you might want to check to make sure your network supports port forwarding (required for nodes) natively.

On the local machine you plan to run the node pool on, open a command prompt (cmd on Windows) and type:

tracert [your_ip_address]

Replace [your_ip_address] with your actual IP address (you can search “what is my ip” online).
You should only see one hop/line. If you see multiple, your network does not support port forwarding natively.


Example

tracert 64.233.176.138
Expected Result: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 199-119-153-199-119-153-27.cpe.sparklight.net [199.118.152.28]

(the numbers don’t matter, but you should only have 1 line)
