Run dApps on Iagon Compute Testnet

dApps on Compute Node​

Introducing Iagon Compute, a platform tailored to support applications deployed by compute subscribers on the Iagon decentralized compute network. Presently, our platform specifically caters to NodeJS applications.

Requirements for Running dApps​

  • Must be an Iagon app user
  • The app must be a Node.js application (Tested for all LTS versions of Node.js: 16, 18, and 20.)
  • The app must have a public Git repository
  • You should specify the port your app will be listening on.
    Usually, you can find this information in the index.js file of your application, resembling:
    app.listen(3000, '0.0.0.0', function ()
info

Here, '3000' represents the port number, and '0.0.0.0' stands for the host.
Please input the same values from your code into the form.

  • The app should include build and start commands in the package.json file.
    Build command: npm run (build command you provided) (leave blank if no build is required)
    Start command: npm run (start command you provided)

Please ensure your code resembles the following structure in your package.josn:

info

{
"scripts": {
"start": "node index.js"
}
}

  • You should provide any environment variables used by the app
note
  • Only public repositories are supported
  • Only Node.js apps are supported (Tested for all LTS versions of Node.js: 16, 18, and 20.)

Technical Details​

  • Each Iagon app runs inside its own isolated environment. Isolation is achieved by creating a new VM for each app using the KVM hypervisor.
