Hi, nope, this is all my work, from scratch. I was hoping that the team could review all of this and put into their FAQ on idena.io, but not sure if that's gonna happen.

As for the .bat file, it originated from someone on the team, but I just improved it so people don't have to know their usernames, etc, and it's way more easier to configure - so that's only an improvement.

For the idena-manager script (nodes on VPS), there's an easy way to migrate all currently running node instances to this script so you don't have to use screen, etc anymore. If anyone's interested, we can discuss about it.

Hi everyone,
if you're using Windows and have your node instance on VPS somewhere, you can download this script (to your desktop, for example) if you want to open tunnel to your VPS and start Idena client and the same time.

Just download script and edit first few lines to insert your VPS IP address, password, port.

Requirements are that you already have idena client (download from there: https://idena.io/?view=download) and Putty (download from here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html) installed.

Download this script here: https://gitlab.com/crackowich/idena-manager/-/raw/master/idena-run.bat?inline=false

If this is helping you, please donate to this idena address: 0x078dbf1f37d2f4561600c4d9de49bf3e498657ae

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I was working on a linux bash script that can help you to setup and run your Idena node on VPS server. The script has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, but it should work on all Ubuntu versions.

These are only few features that script is offering:

• Easily install and add your node instances
• Automatic update of all node instances on the server
• In case of node error, automatically starts node instances - it takes about 1 second
• Ability to migrate existing instances to new servers
• Support for multiple instances per server
• ... and many more

To setup it, it's as easy as to just run 2 commands:

If you want to know more on how to install and manage your node instances, go to: https://gitlab.com/crackowich/idena-manager

So, no more manual installs and updates of node instances, no more screens and crashing of it.

I spent quite a lot of time developing this and I'm asking for your help to continue developing it. Please send donations to this idena address: 0x078dbf1f37d2f4561600c4d9de49bf3e498657ae

Also, there's a Discord server (I just created) for this, where you can ask any questions related to this script, and you can join by clicking on this link: https://discord.gg/BqsDvAk

Thanks!
