Initiating Flux Cumulus node

Step 1 of Flux CUMULUS Node Setup


We are preparing our Mini PC for FluxNode deployment

We will go ahead and initiate this step early on since it takes 100 Flux blockchain confirmations before we can activate the FluxNode and this, in turn, can take 3-4 hours currently.

1. Open your ZelCore wallet and make sure it is fully updated.

2. Navigate to your portfolios and pick a portfolio in which you would like to have your collateral Flux wallet for your FluxNode. This can be any wallet as long as it's not the one that's the source of funds you will be sending Flux from for staking. In this case, we'll pick the Retirement wallet by clicking on it. You can rename it if you wish to something more descriptive such as Nodes by navigating to See More Wallets > Edit Wallet. Specify the desired name and Save.


3. Navigate to the portfolio with funds, and send exactly 1,000 FLUX to the Nodes portfolio


4. Navigate to Apps > FluxNodes and you should see an entry under My FluxNodes with CUMULUS tier. The Status will be showing OFFLINE


Your FluxNode is now being confirmed on the blockchain so we now move on to

A. There are plenty of consumer-grade routers that are sold that can work with FlunxNode but if you want a reliable and more advanced router that gives you a ton of flexibility with not just FluxNode but with getting your networking under total control, I would consider a Mini PC designed to run a firewall such as pFsense 1. Access your internet router's web interface and look for an option for either of these terms or similar - this may vary based on your router brand:  DHCP Server Address Reservation ,  DHCP Reservations ,  DHCP Leases , etc. Basically, the DHCP Server option, where we get to tie the MAC address of your HP Flux Node to a specific IP, so that it is always reserved for your node and automatically assigned by the rou...
