Deployment Process

1. System Preparation

Update System

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y build-essential python3-dev

Install Dependencies

# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

# Install Python requirements
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install Node.js
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

2. Node Installation

Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/redx94/AstraLink.git
cd AstraLink

Configure Environment

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Edit configuration
nano .env

# Configuration example:
NODE_TYPE=validator
NETWORK=mainnet
P2P_PORT=30303
RPC_PORT=8545

Deploy Node

# Run installation script
sudo bash deploy/install.sh

# Verify installation
sudo systemctl status astralink-*

4. Security Setup

Firewall Configuration

# Allow required ports
sudo ufw allow 30303/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8545/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw enable

SSL Certificate

# Install certbot
sudo apt install -y certbot

# Generate certificate
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d node.yourdomain.com

Quantum Security

# Initialize quantum security
astralink-quantum-init --node-type validator

# Verify quantum state
astralink-quantum-verify --full

5. Monitoring Setup

Prometheus Configuration
