[SETUP] Preparing Your First VPS for Testnet Nodes

Running Web3 nodes requires your server to stay active 24/7. Here is the standard environment setup for any Cosmos or EVM-based testnet node.



Terminal Multiplexers (Screen/Tmux)
If you close your SSH client, your node script will terminate. You must use screen or tmux to keep processes running in the background.

Bash:
# Create a new background session
screen -S my_node

# To detach and leave it running, press: CTRL+A then D
# To reattach later:
screen -r my_node

Docker Installation
90% of modern node runners use Docker containers to avoid dependency conflicts. Always install Docker CE and Docker Compose before fetching the project repositories.
