The worker node is containerized and can be run on a virtual machine.

### Requirement <a href="#requirement" id="requirement"></a>

* CPU: 2 vCPUs
* Memory: 4 GB
* Disk Space: 100 GB
* Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

### Create a Virtual machine <a href="#create-a-virtual-machine" id="create-a-virtual-machine"></a>

To create a virtual machine in your cloud provider. Ensure the virtual machine matches the minimum requirements listed in the above section.

### Deployment Guide <a href="#deployment-guide" id="deployment-guide"></a>

Clone the following repository - [![](https://github.com/fluidicon.png)GitHub - energywebfoundation/greenproofs-worker-guide](https://github.com/energywebfoundation/greenproofs-worker-guide)

It contains the guide and files required to run the worker image.

### Deploying Worker Image to Virtual Machine <a href="#deploying-worker-image-to-virtual-machine" id="deploying-worker-image-to-virtual-machine"></a>

Once connected to the VM. Follow the steps to run the container image.

**Install docker**

`sudo snap install docker`

**Confirm docker and docker-compose are installed**

`docker -v docker-compose -v`

**Application setup**

Once done, ensure to the **.env** file contains all environment variables required in the same directory as the **docker-compose.yml** file.

Finally, run the command

`docker-compose up -d`

This would bring up all services. You can reach out to the team for further help or check out the Docker Compose cheat sheet for more debugging tips [here](https://dockerlabs.collabnix.com/intermediate/docker-compose/compose-cheatsheet.html).
