Sequoia is a light-weight, fast, and complete implementation of a Jackal Protocol Storage Provider made for SSD-based storage and IPFS compatibility.

Head over to the Releases and download the binary for your operating system.

git clone https://github.com/JackalLabs/sequoia.git
cd sequoia
go install

Once installed, running sequoia will show you a list of available commands.

Running sequoia init for the first time will generate your configuration files, by default, at ~/.sequoia/ which will include config.yaml and provider_wallet.json for you to edit. If you wish to recover an existing proivider, copy the provider_wallet.json from the old provider to your new set-up.

After this, make sure you fund the wallet address (can be found by running sequoia wallet address) with over 10_000_000_000ujkl or 10k JKL tokens. The recommended amount is that plus 100 JKL.

Once the wallet is funded, running sequoia start again will start the provider and go through the initialization process if it is a new machine. From here, keep an eye on the provider logs. Happy providing!

In order for your provider to run correctly, you will need to set up a domain for your provider pointed at the port your provider is running on and set that up in the config.yaml. You will also need to make sure you have port 4005 (or whatever you specified in the config) open on TCP and UDP for IPFS support, or you could be penalized by the reporting system.

Default config looks like this:

######################

data_directory: directory for database files

directory: directory for block store files
type: flatfs or badgerds
There are two types of block store available to sequoia:
badgerds is a key value database that uses LSM tree to store and manage data. The storage limit is < 11TB.
flatfs stores raw block contents on disk. Relies on underlying file system for stability and performance.

Using badgerds requires the block store directory to be same as data_directory because badgerdb is used for database as well.
