I’m trying to setup a cardano-node on a VPS believing it will enable me to do some stacking. Is that correct ?
And what other advantages is there to run a cardano-node on a VPS?
If you just want to stake you don’t need to run a node, just delegate to an existing pool. Running a pool just for your own stake will not be cost effective unless you are a whale. Also, if you do want to run a pool, please be aware, there’s quite a lot to learn!
I’m willing to take time to learn what it takes. It’s only the beginning isn’t it?
And I have been watching crypto space since 2011. I have some background already, although not in Haskell.
I appreciate your warning. it reminds me of the one I give to people wanting to learn emacs. :o)
So I understand that the advantage of running a pool is that you can host other peoples stakes and therefore set the rule for sharing the reward. OK.
Your reply refreshed my mind.
Thank you

My cardano-node test launch
The hard way
@misteraxyz I appreciate your encouragement, but you are pointing the hard way for me. I found your link earlier but I was looking for a more comprehensive way, one more suited for someone who does not like one finger clicking device and virtual box stuff, too much.
The following 2 links helped me quite a lot:
- https://crypto.bi/tape/cardano-node/
- https://cardano-community.github.io/guild-operators/Build/node-cli.html
The easy way: a resume of my journey with no pointing device
Environment
A distant Virtual Private Server (VPS) with Debian 10 (buster)
Preparation (updating stuff)
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential pkg-config libffi-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev libtinfo-dev libsystemd-dev zlib1g-dev make g++ tmux git jq wget libncursesw5 -y
Install Haskell stuff
Cabal
This was kind of new to me. I never touched Haskell stuff before. It did not always go smoothly and I had to go back and forth a few times to the Haskell Cabal overview . Butthe the following worked
apt-get install cabal-install
cabal update
cabal install Cabal cabal-install
Latest ghc version
I’m not sure why I ended up installing this Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler. It’s probably because latter steps require it, but I can’t say which. Any how, I adapted the code from the last snippet of https://crypto.bi/tape/cardano-node/. I checked the latest ghc for Debian 10, downloaded and configure.
wget https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/ghc-<latest-os-version>-linux.tar.xz
tar -xf ghc-<latest-os-version>-linux.tar.xz
rm ghc-<latest-os-version>-linux.tar.xz
cd ghc-<latest-os-version>
./configure
Did I make install ? I do not recall.
Cardano-node stuff
At that point I have 2 cabal executables on the VPS.
- /usr/bin/cabal --version --> 2.2.0.0
- home/foouser.cabal/bin/cabal --version --> 3.2.0.0
Install
I made sure to use a cabal>=3 by default, and then I check for the latest tag of the cardano-node git
projet
git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node.git
cd cardano-node
git fetch --all --tags
git checkout tags/<latest-tag>
cabal install cardano-node cardano-cli --installdir=$HOME/.local/bin
Run
Before I tried, yet another launch, I quickly checked the cardano-node/scripts. The README.md and picking an eye in the scripts’s code was very instructive.
Then a simple
cardano-node run --cabal
Cabalinnistic ! it’s a live !
Conclusion
It’s probably time I understand what I did, and what to do next. Do I even have a wallet ?
@misteraxyz’s link is the way to go next!
Thank you

Great thank you.
Hi there,

cabal: Failed to build cs-ledger-0.1.0.0 (which is required by exe:chairman
from cardano-node-1.9.3, exe:cardano-cli from cardano-node-1.9.3 and others).
See the build log above for details.
This reminds me of an error i got when trying to compile cardano with the wrong cabal version. check that you are using “cabal 3.2.0.0” and not something more recent.
Other than that I have no clue and would recommend following either
the StakePool COURSE School or the official documentation for SPO
Your ncurses library (prerequisite dependencies on OS) are missing, please raise a seperate thread for issues in Staking & Delegation section of forum.

Hello sir can i restore my ada coin by using atomic wallet cardano private key to daedalus wallet?
yes its 3.2.0
cabal --version
cabal-install version 3.2.0.0
compiled using version 3.2.0.0 of the Cabal library
thats what I thought, but I am certain I have it. I reinstalled it again, but to no avail.
I opened new thread already.
Thank you
I don’t think so but if it’s the same number of words you could try it. If you get either invalid phrase or empty wallet it hasn’t worked. In future please either post to a relevant topic or create a new topic, do not post to a different topic.
