Chimney
Easily provision and monitor blobbers using Chimney
Chimney streamlines the process of provisioning blobbers on the Züs network. Service providers can kickstart their ZCN earnings by deploying blobbers on their own servers or rented infrastructure, effortlessly generating passive income. Blobber A blobber serves as a storage provider within the Züs network, comprising decentralized servers scattered across the globe, all interconnected to the Züs network to cater to our users' storage requirements.
Architecture
Services Provisioned via Chimney
Blobber: The deployment of blobbers will be executed within Docker containers. All blobber configurations and data will be securely stored in the /var/0chain/blobber directory. In case of an additional hard disk, ensure it is properly mounted to the /var/0chain/blobber directory.
Validator: The validator will also be deployed within Docker containers.
Caddy Server: Depending on the domain name you furnish, an SSL certificate will be promptly provisioned.
Monitoring/Grafana: This component serves as a crucial tool for monitoring both the blobber and the validator, allowing you to conveniently retrieve logs as needed.
Get Started with Chimney
The first step involves creating an account or signing up for Chimney, which likely includes providing user information and credentials.
Users have the option to deploy Blobber on their own servers, which may require setting up the necessary infrastructure and configurations.
Deploy Blobber on Rented Server
Alternatively, Blobber can be deployed on rented servers, which might offer convenience but involve additional costs.
Staking refers to the process of locking a certain amount of tokens or assets to participate in the Blobber network. This may be required for various purposes such as accessing services or participating in network governance.
Users can add Blobber instances to their network, possibly for data storage, retrieval, or other services. This step might include specifying the Blobber's address or credentials.
Monitoring involves keeping an eye on the performance and status of the Blobber. It may include checking for resource utilization, uptime, and responsiveness.
With Chimney users have the option to visualize logs generated by Blobber. These logs could contain information about transactions, errors, or other relevant data.
Blobber rank refers to the position or reputation of a Blobber within the network. Users can check a Blobber's rank to determine its reliability and trustworthiness for their operations.
