  • Go to https://app.nexus.xyz/nodes
  • Open and wait the dashboard showing all and go section add node > add CLI node > check copy and done
  • Open your ssh-vps-terminal, add/input your YOUR_NODE_ID and use command to enter
echo "YOUR_NODE_ID" > /root/.nexus/node-id

For example

- echo "6317901" > ~/.nexus/node-id
  • And now restart the systemctl nexus-service use command to enter

sudo systemctl restart nexus.service && \
sudo journalctl -u nexus.service -f -n 100

4. Usefull Commands

1. Based-on ran Nexus Labs node
