🧱 System Requirements

Component	Recommended
CPU	4+ cores
RAM	16 GB+
SSD	500 GB+
OS	Ubuntu 24.04
Bandwidth	500 Mbps

---

🔧 Step 1: Create a GCP VM

1. Go to Google Cloud Console → Compute Engine → VM Instances → Create Instance
2. Choose:
   • Machine: e2-standard-4 (or higher)
   • Boot Disk: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (500GB+)
   • Allow HTTP/HTTPS
3. Click “Create”

---

🔓 Step 2: Open Required Firewall Ports

Open these TCP/UDP ports:

• 30333, 30334, 9000

From VPC > Firewall > Create rule:

Name:       og-storage-node
Target:     All instances
Source:     0.0.0.0/0
Protocols:  tcp:30333,30334,9000
            udp:30333,30334,9000

Add chain claim faucets and get RPC:

Add 0G-Galileo-Testnet chain from here: https://docs.0g.ai/run-a-node/testnet-information

Take faucet: https://faucet.0g.ai/

Get RPC: https://www.astrostake.xyz/0g-status

---

⚙️ Step 3: Install Dependencies

SSH into the VM and run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev curl clang cmake screen git unzip

Install Rust:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y
source $HOME/.cargo/env

Install Go:

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && \
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.24.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
rm go1.24.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc && \
source ~/.bashrc

---

📦 Step 4: Clone and Build 0G Storage Node

git clone -b v0.8.7 https://github.com/0glabs/0g-storage-node.git

cd 0g-storage-node && git checkout v1.0.0 && git submodule update --init

cargo build --release

---

⚙️ Step 5: Configure the Node

rm -rf $HOME/0g-storage-node/run/config.toml

curl -o $HOME/0g-storage-node/run/config.toml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Shahzuby/0glab-storage-node-guide/main/config.toml

nano $HOME/0g-storage-node/run/config.toml

Edit the following fields:

• blockchain_rpc_endpoint = "your_rpc_endpoint"
• miner_key = "<64-char private key (no 0x)>"

And save with cntl+x-y-enter

Create a Systemd Service File

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/zgs.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=ZGS Node
After=network.target

[Service]
User=$USER
WorkingDirectory=$HOME/0g-storage-node/run
ExecStart=$HOME/0g-storage-node/target/release/zgs_node --config $HOME/0g-storage-node/run/config.toml
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable zgs
sudo systemctl start zgs

---

🧪 Monitoring

sudo systemctl status zgs

complete logs

tail -f ~/0g-storage-node/run/log/zgs.log.$(TZ=UTC date +%Y-%m-%d)

Check block & Sync process

 while true; do     response=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5678 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"zgs_getStatus","params":[],"id":1}');     logSyncHeight=$(echo $response | jq '.result.logSyncHeight');     connectedPeers=$(echo $response | jq '.result.connectedPeers');     echo -e "logSyncHeight: \033[32m$logSyncHeight\033[0m, connectedPeers: \033[34m$connectedPeers\033[0m";     sleep 5; done

check node status: https://chainscan-galileo.bangcode.id/
