A GUI installer and dashboard for running a Zcash full node. I built it because setting up a node manually is tedious - you have to install Docker, format drives, edit config files, etc. Even more tedious if you don't use Docker. This handles all of that.
Running a node on your main computer kind of sucks. It eats up resources, needs to stay on 24/7, and uses way more electricity than necessary. A Pi 5 with an SSD runs the full Zcash blockchain for like $5/year in electricity, sits in a corner, and just works. Set it and forget it.
- Raspberry Pi 5 (recommended) or any Linux PC
- External SSD (500GB minimum)
- Internet connection
- About 20 minutes for initial setup. Much less if your system is up to date.
- Installs Docker and Zebra (Zcash node software)
- Formats and mounts your SSD
- Shows sync progress, peer count, disk usage
- Runs in the system tray
- Restarts automatically after reboots or power outages
More nodes = more decentralization = stronger network. That's it.
- Mac version coming eventually
- Windows version coming eventually
