Section 1: Connecting to the VPS
To access your VPS, you have two options
- Built-in Console: Most providers (e.g., DigitalOcean) offer a web-based console in their dashboard — no setup required.
- SSH Method: Use PowerShell or PuTTY on Windows, or Terminal on macOS/Linux — most VPS use
rootas the default username.
Run this command:
ssh username@your_server_ipReplace username and your_server_ip with your actual VPS login credentials. You’ll be prompted to enter the password to complete the login.
Example: ssh root@192.0.2.123
Section 2: Installing and Running the Node
Step 1: Install Required Software
First, let’s install the necessary software: Git, Docker, and Docker Compose.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install git docker.io docker-compose -y
Step 2: Clone the PlayAI Node Client Repository
Download the PlayAI Node files from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/PlayAINetwork/PlayAI-Node-Client.git
Change into the repository directory:
cd PlayAI-Node-Client
Step 3: Generate a Random Burner Wallet
Visit chaintool.tech.
Click on Create to generate a random wallet.
Save the wallet address and private key securely for later use.
Step 4: Create and Configure the .env File
nano .env
Add these variables (replace with your actual data):
NODE_WALLET_ADDRESS='your_burner_wallet_address'
NODE_SIGNER_KEY='your_burner_wallet_private_key'
NODE_TOKEN_IDS=[your_nft_id]
Example:
NODE_WALLET_ADDRESS=0x5D093d12F9d6967FFc0A8F07085e5Ff65bE7985E
NODE_SIGNER_KEY=46c3b516c30d0d043ad3f555e3b3c018993f1afe310e9e8450c9266963868822
NODE_TOKEN_IDS=[123]
Save with CTRL + X, then Y, and Enter.
Step 5: Pull the Latest Node Containers
docker-compose pull
Step 6: Delegate Your NFT to the Node
Go to the Node Explorer page and connect your wallet.
Click My Keys → Delegate → enter burner wallet address.
⚠️ You may need a small amount of ETH on Base to cover gas fees.
Step 7: Start the Node
docker-compose up -d
Step 8: Verify the Node is Running
docker ps
Step 9: Verify Your Node Status
Visit the Node Explorer page → My Keys → check your node status.
Your node should display as active.
Node Management
Stop the node:
docker-compose down
Check live logs:
docker-compose logs -f
