- [Introduction](#introduction) - [Deployment](#deployment) *** ## Introduction We present the steps to deploy a micro VM on the TFGrid. ## Deployment Deploy a new virtual machine on the Threefold Grid - Make sure you have a [wallet](wallet_connector.md) - From the sidebar click on **Solutions** - Click on **Micro Virtual Machine** __Process__ : ![ ](./img/solutions_microvm.png) - Fill in the instance name: it's used to reference the VM in the future. - Choose the image from the drop down (e.g Alpine, Ubuntu) or you can click on `Other` and manually specify the flist URL and the entrypoint. - Select a capacity package: - **Small**: {cpu: 1, memory: 2, diskSize: 25 } - **Medium**: {cpu: 2, memory: 4, diskSize: 50 } - **Large**: {cpu: 4, memory: 16, diskSize: 100} - Or choose a **Custom** plan - Choose the network - `Public IPv4` flag gives the virtual machine a Public IPv4 - `Public IPv6` flag gives the virtual machine a Public IPv6 - `Planetary Network` to connect the Virtual Machine to Planetary network - `Wireguard Access` to add a wireguard acces to the Virtual Machine - `GPU` flag to add GPU to the Virtual machine - `Dedicated` flag to retrieve only dedicated nodes - `Certified` flag to retrieve only certified nodes - Choose the location of the node - `Region` - `Country` - `Farm Name` - Choose the node to deploy the Virtual Machine on > Or you can select a specific node with manual selection. ![](./img/nixos-micro2.png) * In the section `Environment Variables`, you can add any environment variables that the machine might need ![](./img/nixos-micro3.png) * In the section `Disks`, You can attach one or more disks to the Virtual Machine by clicking on the Disks tab and the plus `+` sign and specify the following parameters - Disk name - Disk size in the bottom of the page you can see a list of all of the virual machines you deployed. you can click on `Show details` for more details ![](./img/vm_list.png) You can also go to JSON tab for full details ![ ](./img/vm_json.png)
