Hello, I’m a light node operator in the Celestia Blockspace Race. First, I thank Celestia for selecting me for Light Node. Here I am sharing the current status and performance of my Light node ID - 12D3KooWNgUeK9S2kDfuDaTi6JsGdMvH7TCumZCQrBafJwNvyPy6. Hardware requirements as per Celestia for running Light Node :- Memory: 2 GB RAM CPU: Single Core Disk: 25 GB SSD Storage Bandwidth: 56 Kbps for Download/56 Kbps for Upload Hardware (VPS ) considered for running my Light Node :- Memory: 16 GB RAM CPU: 6 vCPU Cores Disk: 400 GB SSD Storage Bandwidth: 100 Mbit/s VPS Location: Dusseldorf (EU) Now we can see our Node performance. CPU Usage:- As per below chart CPU usage is 2% at normal and at peak is 4%. Memory Usage Average memory usage was 4GB out 16 GB at Normal and at peak 6 GB out of 16GB. 16 GB ram is enough for running light node smoothly. Network Traffic Incoming traffic speed at normal 3.2 kpbs and at peak 80 kpbs. Disk Space used Dis space used 6% ( 25 GB ) out of 400GB. df -h My Current Celestia version Light node updated to version v0.9.4 Conclusion:- I do not face any difficulties while running Light node. Even if anything, it is solved quickly by the team. I personally thanks to mindstyle I pops.one #9025 and $ Karlo. Both are helped me a lot. I learned many things in this period. As per my Analysis Minimum 8GB Ram, Disk space - 100 SSD and Storage Bandwidth: 100 Kbps for Download/100 Kbps for Upload is required, to run light Node Smoothly.
