Privasea is a decentralized AI network designed to make AI operations more secure and private. It does this by using a technology called Fully Homomorphic Encryption Machine Learning (FHEML). In simple terms, this allows AI to process data while keeping it encrypted, meaning no one—including the AI itself—can see the actual data.

Privasea runs on distributed computing power, meaning instead of relying on a single, central server, it uses multiple computers worldwide to perform AI computations. This is powered by ZAMA’s Concrete ML technology, a specialized framework for encrypted AI tasks.

The ecosystem is driven by $PRVA tokens, which are used to reward participants who contribute their computing resources. By running a Privasea DeepSea Node, you help process secure AI tasks while earning tokens as a reward.

Follow this guide to set up your own Privasea DeepSea Node using Podman instead of Docker.

Valuation : 180 M

• Operating System: Ubuntu (WSL or native installation)

• Storage: 100GB

• RAM: 4GB

• Processor: 4 cores

If you are using Windows, install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with the following command in PowerShell:

wsl --install Ubuntu

Ensure your WSL is up-to-date by installing the latest PowerShell:

iex "& { $(irm https://aka.ms/PSWindows) }"

Then, restart your system.

Run the following command to update your system:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install -y podman

Verify the installation:

podman --version

Enable and start the Podman service:

sudo systemctl enable podman
sudo systemctl start podman

If you encounter an error when pulling images, modify your registries configuration:

echo -e "[registries.search]\nregistries = ['docker.io']" | sudo tee /etc/containers/registries.conf > /dev/null

Then, retry the image pull.

podman pull docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest

sudo mkdir -p /privasea/config && cd /privasea

Ensure correct permissions:

sudo chmod -R 777 /privasea/config

podman run -it --user root -v "/privasea/config:/app/config" docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest ./node-calc new_keystore

Enter a password when prompted.

mv /privasea/config/UTC--* /privasea/config/wallet_keystore

Backup your wallet_keystore file securely using FileZilla and import it to Metamask via JSON import.

How to Save and Import Keystore File

1. Download and install FileZilla from here.

2. Open FileZilla.

Run the following in WSL:

sudo apt install openssh-server -y
sudo service ssh start

Find your local WSL IP address:

ip addr show eth0 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1

Example output: 192.168.1.100

1. Host: Enter sftp://192.168.1.100 (replace with your WSL IP)

2. Username: Your WSL username

3. Password: Your WSL password

4. Port: 22

5. Click Quickconnect.

1. On the right-side panel (Remote Site), navigate to:

   /privasea/config/

2. Find your keystore file:

   UTC--2025-01-29T16-05-19.963182789Z--abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12

3. Drag and drop the file to your local machine (e.g., Desktop or Downloads folder on your Windows PC).
   
   

   

1. Open MetaMask.

2. Click on Profile Icon > Import Account.

3. Select "JSON File".

4. Click Choose File and select the keystore file you downloaded.

5. Enter your keystore password (the one you used when creating the node).

6. Click Import.

• After importing, check that your wallet address matches:

• Once verified, proceed to connect it to Privasea DeepSea.

1. Visit DeepSea Beta

2. Connect your MetaMask wallet

3. Receive faucet tokens

4. Click on "Set up my node"

5. Enter a Node Name and Wallet Address

6. Set Commission to 1%

7. Confirm your settings

podman run -d --name privanetix-node -v "/privasea/config:/app/config" -e KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=your_password docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest

Replace [your password] with the password used for the wallet keystore.

Verify the node logs:

podman logs --follow privanetix-node

After a few hours, verify the status of your node:

• Status Online: Your node is active

• Task Verification: When your node verifies a task, it earns TPRAI tokens

• Staking Rewards: Stake TPRAI to earn additional rewards

By following this guide, you have successfully set up the Privasea DeepSea Node using Podman instead of Docker. Continue monitoring your node, staking TPRAI rewards, and contributing to the decentralized AI ecosystem!
