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 oneโincluding the AI itselfโcan 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 ZAMAโs 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 UbuntuEnsure 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 -ysudo apt install -y podmanVerify the installation:
podman --versionEnable and start the Podman service:
sudo systemctl enable podman
sudo systemctl start podmanIf 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/nullThen, retry the image pull.
podman pull docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latestsudo mkdir -p /privasea/config && cd /privaseaEnsure correct permissions:
sudo chmod -R 777 /privasea/configpodman run -it --user root -v "/privasea/config:/app/config" docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest ./node-calc new_keystoreEnter a password when prompted.
mv /privasea/config/UTC--* /privasea/config/wallet_keystoreBackup your wallet_keystore file securely using FileZilla and import it to Metamask via JSON import.
How to Save and Import Keystore File
Download and install FileZilla from here.
Open FileZilla.
Run the following in WSL:
sudo apt install openssh-server -y
sudo service ssh startFind your local WSL IP address:
ip addr show eth0 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1Example output: 192.168.1.100
Host: Enter sftp://192.168.1.100 (replace with your WSL IP)
Username: Your WSL username
Password: Your WSL password
Port: 22
Click Quickconnect.
On the right-side panel (Remote Site), navigate to:
/privasea/config/Find your keystore file:
UTC--2025-01-29T16-05-19.963182789Z--abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12Drag and drop the file to your local machine (e.g., Desktop or Downloads folder on your Windows PC).

Open MetaMask.
Click on Profile Icon > Import Account.
Select "JSON File".
Click Choose File and select the keystore file you downloaded.
Enter your keystore password (the one you used when creating the node).
Click Import.
After importing, check that your wallet address matches:
Once verified, proceed to connect it to Privasea DeepSea.

Visit DeepSea Beta
Connect your MetaMask wallet
Receive faucet tokens
Click on "Set up my node"
Enter a Node Name and Wallet Address
Set Commission to 1%
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:latestReplace [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!

This is absolutely phenomenal. Maz on the hype of course!!
This is a gem of a thread. I followed through all the steps and now my node is active & running. Also you added a way to download the wallet_keystore json in case of any mishaps I can always have access to the node wallet. Brilliant, keep posting the good stuffs!
