What is Privasea?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 MMinimum Configuration RequirementsOperating System: Ubuntu (WSL or native installation)Storage: 100GBRAM: 4GBProcessor: 4 coresSetup Instructions (Using Podman)Step 1: Install WSL and DependenciesIf 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.Step 2: System UpdateRun the following command to update your system:sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -yStep 3: Install Podmansudo apt install -y podmanVerify the installation:podman --versionEnable and start the Podman service:sudo systemctl enable podman sudo systemctl start podmanStep 4: Configure Podman for Image PullingIf you encounter an error when pulling images, modify your registries configuration: /dev/null">echo -e "[registries.search]\nregistries = ['docker.io']" | sudo tee /etc/containers/registries.conf > /dev/nullThen, retry the image pull.Step 5: Pull Privasea Node Imagepodman pull docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latestStep 6: Create Configuration Directorysudo mkdir -p /privasea/config && cd /privaseaEnsure correct permissions:sudo chmod -R 777 /privasea/configStep 7: Generate a New Wallet Keystorepodman run -it --user root -v "/privasea/config:/app/config" docker.io/privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest ./node-calc new_keystoreEnter a password when prompted.Save Your Informationmv /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 FileStep 1: Install and Open FileZillaDownload and install FileZilla from here.Open FileZilla.Step 2: Connect to Your WSL or Linux MachineEnable SSH Server in WSL (if not already enabled)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: 192.168.1.100Connect FileZilla to WSLHost: Enter sftp://192.168.1.100 (replace with your WSL IP)Username: Your WSL username Password: Your WSL passwordPort: 22Click Quickconnect.Step 3: Locate and Download the Keystore FileOn 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). Step 4: Import Keystore File into MetaMaskOpen 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.Step 5: Verify Wallet AddressAfter importing, check that your wallet address matches:Once verified, proceed to connect it to Privasea DeepSea.Step 8: Connect to Privasea DeepSea Visit DeepSea BetaConnect your MetaMask walletReceive faucet tokensClick on "Set up my node"Enter a Node Name and Wallet AddressSet Commission to 1%Confirm your settingsStep 9: Start Your Nodepodman 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 Step 10: Monitor Node PerformanceAfter a few hours, verify the status of your node:Status Online: Your node is activeTask Verification: When your node verifies a task, it earns TPRAI tokensStaking Rewards: Stake TPRAI to earn additional rewardsFinal ThoughtsBy 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!Follow for More Updates📌 X (Twitter): @0x_mazdoor 📌 Telegram Channel: t.me/mazzysweb
