If you want to be able to visit sites that you host yourself, you’ll need to enable NAT Reflection/NAT Loopback/NAT Hairpinning on your router.

Using Node Manager UI

Use the Gladius Node Manager UI to go through onboarding and apply to a pool. No ether needed!

Once you applied to a pool wait for the Pool Manager to accept your application. Once you’ve been accepted you’re done! Your computer will automatically download and serve files.

You can monitor blockchain transactions on your account in the Transactions page.

Using CLI

Notes

Note

Windows and macOS users: If you installed through the .exe or .dmg in the releases section, gladius-networkd and gladius-controld are automatically added as system services. You should NOT attempt to run gladius-networkd and gladius-controld as commands because they are already running.

Note

Linux users: You need to run both the Gladius Control and Gladius Network daemons and then you can interact with them through the Gladius CLI. Scroll down to learn how to add the modules as services.
