Installing on Ubuntu

Server Requirements

The server (or rig – these terms are nearly interchangeable in this context) must be equipped with NVIDIA GPUs, as AMD is currently not supported. The minimum required disk space is 32 GB; for reliability, it's recommended to use an SSD instead of a flash drive. A minimum of 8 GB of RAM is required, but 16 GB will provide greater stability. As for the CPU, the system can work with a Celeron on a 1151 socket, but for more efficient performance, consider using a CPU like the i7-6700.

Before proceeding, it is highly recommended to disable any overclocking, including the Power Limit (PL), and reset the GPUs to factory settings. Afterward, stress-test the system for stability by, for example, testing the GPUs using the kawpow algorithm and loading the CPU. Monitor temperatures and ensure everything is running stably.

If the system operates stably and temperatures are within a safe range, continue to the next step in the instructions. If temperatures are too high or errors occur, address these issues first – for example, by improving cooling or troubleshooting – and ensure stable operation before proceeding.

Registering and Adding the Server

1. Go to the website, register, log in, and navigate to the marketplace:

2. Adding a Server: There are two ways to add a server:

Method 1: Go to the "My Servers" section and click the "+Add Server" button. Enter the server's name and click "Next."

After adding, the server will be marked with a red circle, meaning it is inactive. We will activate it later, but for now, click on the created server to obtain a key – you will need it later.

3. Run Updates in Sequence:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

4. Install dependencies:

sudo apt install -y curl git gnupg lsb-release

5. Switch to superuser mode:

sudo -i

6. Install the Software:

bash <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/cloreai-public/hosting/-/raw/main/install.sh)

If the system reports that git is missing, install it with:

apt install -y git

Then retry the installation.

If you encounter a gpg error, use:

apt install gpg -y --allow-downgrades

Afterward, rerun the installation.

bash <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/cloreai-public/hosting/-/raw/main/install.sh)

7. Activate the Server:

/opt/clore-hosting/clore.sh --init-token <token>

Replace <token> with the key obtained earlier.

If an error indicates a missing folder or file, the installation likely didn’t complete correctly, and the clore-hosting folder was not created. In this case, repeat the installation.

8. Finalize:

Restart the rig, wait a moment, and refresh the marketplace page. If everything was set up correctly, the server will be marked with a green circle.

sudo reboot

How to Disable All Installed Services

If you need to disable everything previously installed:

1. Disable the services:

   systemctl disable clore-hosting.service
   systemctl disable docker.service
   systemctl disable docker.socket

2. Reboot the system:

   reboot

How to Re-enable Services

To re-enable the services:

1. Enable the services:

   systemctl enable clore-hosting.service
   systemctl enable docker.service
   systemctl enable docker.socket

2. Reboot the system:

   reboot

Removing the Previously Installed Token

To delete the token, use the command:

/opt/clore-hosting/clore.sh --reset

The file containing the token is located at:

/opt/clore-hosting/client/auth
