Bee-Factory VPS

Disclaimer

This is not an official Ethersphere product.

This makes major modifications to the target server, exposing it to security risks.

Make sure you read and understand agent.sh.

Description

This tool is intended for developers who want to run Bee-Factory on a VPS.

It sets up Bee-Factory on a fresh VPS automatically and runs Bee, without ever having to ssh to the server.

These servers are intended to be disposable and short-lived, used for developing on Swarm.

Requires root user with password authentication method.

Usage

What you need to do:

1. Create a new Ubuntu 20.04 VPS (tested with DigitalOcean $10 VPS)
2. Set BEE_HOST, BEE_USERNAME and BEE_PASSWORD environment variables
3. Run npm i && npm start

What will happen:

1. agent.sh will be copied to the VPS and executed using the node-ssh package
2. One queen and one worker ephemeral Bee instances will be created using Bee-Factory
3. Bee endpoints will be exposed on ports 1633, 1635 and 11633, 11635
