Pre-Setup: Install Required Tools
It is recommended to run Sophon Node on a Contabo VPS with Ubuntu for optimal stability and 24/7 uptime.

Check and Open Ports on Contabo VPS: Allow traffic for port 7007:

sudo ufw allow 7007
Update and Upgrade:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Install Docker:

sudo apt install docker.io -y
Install tmux:

sudo apt install tmux -y
Enable Docker to Start on Boot:

sudo systemctl enable docker
Step 1: Stop and Remove the Previous Docker Container (Optional)
If you’ve previously set up the Sophon Light Node, remove it:

1.1. Stop the container:

docker stop sophon-light-node
1.2. Remove the container:

docker rm sophon-light-node
Step 2: Pull the Lastest Docker Image
Pull the latest version of the Sophon Light Node image:

docker pull sophonhub/sophon-light-node:v0.0.98
Step 3: Start a New tmux Session
3.1. Create and start a new tmux session named SophonYouName:

tmux new -s SophonYouName
3.2. Run the Docker command inside this session:

docker run -d --name sophon-light-node \
    -e OPERATOR_ADDRESS=your_Operator_wallet \
    -e DESTINATION_ADDRESS=your_wallet \
    -e PERCENTAGE=1.00 \
    -e PUBLIC_DOMAIN=http://Your_VPS_IP:7007 \
    -e PORT=7007 \
    -e AUTO_UPGRADE=true \
    -p 7007:7007 \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    sophonhub/sophon-light-node
Example

docker run -d --name sophon-light-node \
    -e OPERATOR_ADDRESS=0xfb4f3Aa9E7745Fc7B12b9776A92bD1F7A1Fb0Abf \
    -e DESTINATION_ADDRESS=0xF3FFFF235DBBdAC80928e981338E9b0E604e704b \
    -e PERCENTAGE=0.95 \
    -e PUBLIC_DOMAIN=http://134.56.178.78:7007/ \
    -e PORT=7007 \
    -e AUTO_UPGRADE=true \
    -p 7007:7007 \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    sophonhub/sophon-light-node
Step 4: Detach from tmux
Detach from the tmux session while keeping the process running:

Ctrl + B, then D
Step 5: Verify the Setup
5.1. Check Running Containers:

docker ps
5.2. Check Logs:

docker logs sophon-light-node
5.3. Verify Registration: Check if your node is registered on the Sophon network:

curl -X GET "https://monitor.sophon.xyz/nodes?operators=your_Operator_wallet"
if the status is TRUE, then you are done


Congratulations, you have successfully installed your Sophon Verifier Node!

Key Notes
Firewall Configuration: Ensure port 7007 is open using the steps above.
Public Domain: Use a fixed IP (retrieved with curl ifconfig.me) or domain for the PUBLIC_DOMAIN variable.
Auto-Upgrade: The -e AUTO_UPGRADE=true flag ensures your node automatically updates to the latest version.
