I’m running an SPS Validator node under the account kiell.
My goal is to keep a stable, reliable, always-on validator setup for the SPS Validator Network. The node is running on a dedicated Linux Ubuntu Live Server VM hosted on my UGREEN NAS, with NVMe storage, upgraded memory, and a public HTTPS API endpoint.
Node API:
https://kiell-splinterlands-validator.duckdns.org
Hardware / server setup:
- Host NAS: UGREEN NASync DXP480T Plus
- Virtual machine: Linux Ubuntu Live Server
- Storage: WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD, 4TB
- Memory: Crucial 64GB DDR5 SODIMM kit, 5600MHz
- Validator version: 1.5.1
- Node type: Archive node
- Validator account: kiell
The node is configured to stay online, restart automatically after reboots, and serve the validator API through HTTPS using a reverse proxy.
Thanks to anyone who supports or votes for my validator node.
Really cool first post — I like how you laid out the full SPS validator setup, especially the UGREEN NASync DXP480T Plus, the 4TB NVMe, and the fact that you’ve got it configured for automatic restarts and HTTPS through a reverse proxy. Since you’re aiming for a stable, always-on validator with a public API endpoint, hivestats.io could be useful for tracking account growth, HP, and delegation analytics over time. If you plan to keep sharing updates about the node or validator progress, @leo.voter can also help surface quality content from builders like you. What’s been the biggest challenge so far in keeping the validator reliably online?

Fair play! Thats a significant 'wedge' of hardware you've assembled there.. and the setup sounds fun too :)
Congrats on the Hive Birthday!!
Think you've short changed yourself, this was eadily a full blown 'How To' if you wanted to make it :)
Kudos on the skills, I setup a Golem $GLM node on an old Dell 9020 a while back, far less involved.. the interesting thing though is the internet uptime, can now see what my ISP is up to in the early hrs of the morning lol.
