Latitude.sh Blueprint for Swarm Bee Light Node

Latitude.sh Launchpad blueprint to run a Swarm Bee light node. This blueprint also installs Swarm-CLI for interacting with the bee node.

About Swarm

Swarm is a peer-to-peer network of Bee nodes that collectively provide censorship resistant decentralised storage and communication services. Swarm's mission is to shape the future towards a self-sovereign global society and permissionless open markets by providing scalable base-layer data storage infrastructure for the decentralised internet. Its incentive system is enforced through smart contracts on the Gnosis Chain blockchain and powered by the xBZZ token, making it economically self-sustaining.

Using the blueprint on Latitude.sh

Environment Variables on Latitude.sh

Each of the following environment variable is optional, set either SSH_PASSWORD or PUBLIC_KEY for ssh access

Variable	Description
PUBLIC_KEY	Public Key for ssh access
SSH_USER	Username for ssh access (default: root)

SSH access on Latitude.sh

To enable SSH access, enter your public SSH key in the PUBLIC_KEY environment variable during deployment. After deployment, use the provided IP address and the following command to connect:

ssh root@<APP_IP> -p 22

Getting started after deploying Swarm Lightnode

Connect to your instance with ssh root@<APP_IP> -p 22

Verify Bee node status with swarm-cli status
