📗Holesky Dappnode Setup
Now that you created your SSV Operator you need to run it alongside a Holesky node.
This guide explains how to set up an SSV Node on Dappnode OS.
1. Sync your Holesky Node
The first step is to sync a Holesky Node and activate MEV Boost. Go to your Staker Tab, go to Holesky the Holesky tab on the top. Select an Execution Client - all but Reth work with SSV at the time of writing, a consensus client and Mev Boost Holesky.
Select all Relays on MEV Boost.
Click on "Apply Changes" to save your Staker setup. Go back to the Dashboard, you should now see your Holesky clients in the overview starting to sync.
You can wait for your node to sync or continue with the next step right away.
2. Run the Holesky SSV Node
Your next step is to install the SSV Holesky package on your Dappnode.
Option 1: DAppStore
Go to the DAppStore and click on the "SSV Holesky" package. It should be one of the first in the Dnp section.
Option 2: IPFS Search
If you cannot see the SSV Holesky Package here, go to the official Dappnode SSV package on Github and check the releases. Check which release has the tag "latest" and click on "Release details". This image is just an example, use the "latest" release.
Go back to your Dappnode UI and go to the DAppStore.
Copy the ipfs hash from "SSV Holesky" and insert it in the DAppStore Search bar and press Enter. The search itself is not very reliable and you will usually not find a result. The DAppStore should load the hash now directly.
If the Package doesn't load, try again. The ipfs search is sometimes a bit unreliable and sometimes you have to try several times. Also consider asking for help in the Dappnode Discord if the problem persists, sometimes you need to fix your ipfs package.
Install SSV Holesky
When you have found the SSV Holesky package, click on Install.
For Setup mode select "Import Operator".
Set Builder Proposals to true.
Upload the encrypted private key file you created in the previous guide.
Enter the password that you created for the private key in the previous guide.
Click on "Submit". SSV Holesky should be installed now.
That's it - wait for a couple of minutes and check if SSV Holesky is running. Let the Etherfi team know that your operator is ready.
