Deploy a server

This is a guide for getting your validator setup on the Solana mainnet-beta cluster with Latitude.sh infrastructure.

Deploy a new server

The easiest way to start deploying with Latitude.sh is through the dashboard. Sign up, create your Team and Project and you will be up and running quickly.

Create a new server

Choose a location

If you plan to run a Jito Solana validator, choose a location near to the block engine.

Choose a server spec

Only 2 server specs could handle the requirements to run a Solana validator on mainnet-beta

c3.large.x86 without putting accounts in ramdisk

Or s3.large.x86 where you can choose to put accounts in ramdisk

If you don't understand implication about putting accounts in ramdisk, please read accounts management section first.

Choose OS, ssh-key, and storage

For the Operating system choose Ubuntu 20.04

Choose your ssh key to authenticate on the server

We recommend choosing No Raid in order to dedicate a disk for the ledger

Finally, click on deploy
