Greetings! I've been closely involved with Celestia since its inception, and I'm currently operating a Light Node. Allow me to provide you with an overview of the lightweight node, the equipment I'm utilizing, and some key performance indicators.

From the very beginning, it was my greatest wish to be a part of this project and to witness its growth. After I was selected as a light node in The Blockspace Race event, I rented a server that would meet the minimum system requirements.

Here is my light node server over contabo.com :

> VPS S NVMe **Location:** Dusseldorf **Host system:** 17751 **OS:** Ubuntu 20.04 (64 Bit)

Here are commands;

*   To see the hardware list `sudo lshw -short`

Listing Hardware

*   To see memory usage `cat /proc/meminfo`
    

![Memory Usage](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f5471403839fe32c332557029c9d25154421073ffae95471bb04815739462e14.png)

Memory Usage

*   To see free memory usage `free`

Free Memory of RAM

*   To see disk usage `df -h`

Disk Usage

*   To see disk usage `top` **CPU usage**, **Memory usage**, **Swap Memory**, **Cache Size**, **Buffer Size**, **Process PID**, **User**, **Command**s, and much more.
    

![top command](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/78a552b59e88c32eaa7cd8fafe91f9e2c64c6fb9c0e5dab2a4799c119d8fd5bb.png)

top command

OR;

*   To see the system monitor ;
    
    Install first `sudo apt-get install htop`
    

then run this command `htop`

![command htop](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b4eb76ba099d253100d7955a5350967772b7c45c9fba7cc66fe835b15d545335.png)

command htop

Check the load on the network ;

*   Install first `apt install iftop` then run this command `iftop`
    

![command iftop](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0fd117ee4032c8529341fad3868a4822dd2412f7c3fb5f870422b781caf38c13.png)

command iftop

In this scenario, it's evident that virtually any hosting service can effortlessly handle the workload. This makes perfect sense, given that the demands placed on a light node are quite minimal.

> Here is the end of the my light node analysis :) Happy to be a part of it. Thank You…
