Erebrus Nexus Node
The Erebrus Nexus Node is a high-performance node designed for AI workloads, application orchestration, and decentralized VPN. Unlike the Beacon Node, which primarily functions as a VPN relay, Nexus Nodes provide AI Agent hosting, firewall deployment, and global DNS assignment for applications deployed by users.
Overview
Running a Nexus Node allows you to earn rewards for sharing compute and storage resources, supporting decentralized AI coordination and censorship-resistant applications. Operators must have a static IP and a wildcard domain to enable seamless deployment and connectivity. While a home lab setup is possible, cloud deployment is recommended for performance and reliability.
By hosting a Nexus Node, you help build a resilient AI coordination layer, enabling users to deploy AI agents, self-hosted apps like Nextcloud, and privacy-enhancing tools.
Prerequisites
Hardware Requirements
- Operating System:
Linux - Minimum Hardware Requirements:
8GB RAM(Recommended:16GB+)4 vCPUs(Recommended:8 vCPUs)200GB+SSD storage (Recommended:500GB+for AI Agents hosting)- Static IP required
- Domain and Wildcard domain (for App Orchestration & DDNS Assignment)
Network Requirements
- Incoming traffic allowed on ports:
51820(WireGuard VPN)9002(LibP2P peer discovery)443 & 80(Web applications & API access)
- A stable, high-bandwidth internet connection (preferably wired)
- Basic familiarity with command-line interface (CLI)
- Node Wallet (valid mnemonic on the supported chain) for on-chain registration and checkpoint
Deployment Options
Cloud Deployment (Recommended)
Nexus Nodes require higher computing power, making cloud deployment preferable. Here's an estimated monthly cost based on recommended specifications:
| Cloud Provider | Instance Type | CPU | RAM | Storage | Static IP | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner | AX41 | 8 vCPUs | 16GB | 512GB SSD | ✅ Included | ~$50/month |
| AWS EC2 | t3.xlarge | 4 vCPUs | 16GB | 500GB SSD | ✅ $5 extra | ~$90/month |
| DigitalOcean | General Droplet | 8 vCPUs | 16GB | 500GB SSD | ✅ $5 extra | ~$80/month |
| Vultr | High-Performance | 8 vCPUs | 16GB | 500GB SSD | ✅ Included | ~$60/month |
Requirements
- License Fee: A Node License NFT is required to run a Nexus Node
- Staking Requirement: Currently $0 USD (subject to change based on demand & supply)
- Revenue Model: Earn rewards for both:
- Enabling encrypted, censorship-resistant VPN
- Hosting AI Agents & decentralized apps
Installation
-
Install Node Software
# If running as regular user: sudo bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NetSepio/nexus/main/install.sh) # If running as root: bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NetSepio/nexus/main/install.sh) -
Configure Node Parameters
- Set up public IP and wildcard domain
- Choose resource allocation for AI compute & app hosting
- Configure firewall settings for security
-
Verification Process
- Ensure all necessary ports are open
- Test AI workload execution & VPN reachability
Maintenance & Monitoring
- Update your node software regularly for performance & security patches
- Monitor system usage (CPU, RAM, storage) to ensure smooth operation
- Use logging tools to track AI task execution & app deployments
Security Considerations
- Protect your Node Operator account mnemonic
- Keep SSH secure
- Regularly update node software and dependencies
- Monitor system resources and logs
