## Introduction
This is a simple instance of upstream [Node Pilot](https://nodepilot.tech).

- From the sidebar click on **Applications**
- Click on **Node Pilot**
## Deployment

- Fill in the instance name: it's used to reference the node-pilot in the future.
- Minimum CPU allowed is 8 cores and minimum memory allowed is 8192.
- `Dedicated` flag to retrieve only dedeicated nodes
- `Certified` flag to retrieve only certified nodes
- Choose the location of the node
- `Region`
- `Country`
- `Farm Name`
- Select a node to deploy your node-pilot instance on.
> Or you can select a specific node with manual selection.
- When using the [flist](https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms/node-pilot-zdbfs.flist) you get a node pilot instance ready out-of-box. You need to get a public ipv4 to get it to works.
After that is done you can see a list of all of your deployed instances

You can go to `https://publicip` and configure your node-pilot. You can upload a backup to the VM via ssh as well if you have a backup of a previous instance.
What change compared to upstream node-pilot, we have out-of-box a transparent pre-filled blockchain database for some blochain (currently Fuse and Pokt as proof-of-concept). You can start one of theses blockchain in no-time and it will be automatically nearly sync already without the requirement of the full space locally nor downloading everything and killing bandwidth.
