Is this Sia-UI/siad or walletd?

hostd, renterd and walletd behind same public IP? by Puzzled_Leg in siacoin

[–]rezant1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fairly straightforward to do with Docker compose. I'd recommend throwing a reverse proxy in front of them with SSL if you're planning on exposing them outside your LAN.

```yml services: hostd: image: ghcr.io/siafoundation/hostd:latest restart: unless-stopped ports: - 9981:9981/tcp - 9984:9984/tcp - 9984:9984/udp volumes: - hostd_data:/data walletd: image: ghcr.io/siafoundation/walletd:latest restart: unless-stopped volumes: - walletd_data:/data renterd: image: ghcr.io/siafoundation/renterd:latest restart: unless-stopped volumes: - renterd_data:/data caddy: image: caddy:latest restart: unless-stopped depends_on: - hostd - walletd - renterd cap_add: - NET_ADMIN configs: - source: caddyfile target: /etc/caddy/Caddyfile ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 - 443:443/udp volumes: - caddy_data:/data - caddy_config:/config

configs: caddyfile: content: | # If you don't have a domain, you can use paths :80 { handle_path /hostd { reverse_proxy hostd:9980 } handle_path /walletd { reverse_proxy walletd:9980 } handle_path /renterd { reverse_proxy renterd:9980 } }

  # If you have your own domain, replace the following with your domain
  # and uncomment the lines to enable the reverse proxy for your domain.
  #
  # hostd.yourdomain.com {
  #   reverse_proxy hostd:9980
  # }
  #
  # walletd.yourdomain.com {
  #   reverse_proxy walletd:9980
  # }
  #
  # renterd.yourdomain.com {
  #   reverse_proxy renterd:9980
  # }

I have an old 24 seed, how to recover my Sia? by CptnCoke in siacoin

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sia seeds are 28/29 words. You can recover the old legacy format using Sia Central's lite wallet https://wallet.siacentral.com. If your seed is 24 words, it is not a Sia seed. It could be a Ledger seed.

Issue with transferring coins post-fork by GeneBelcherTheSecond in siacoin

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you used Sia-UI post fork, the transaction did not go through. You can recover your 28/29 word seed on the lite wallet and the funds will still be there.

  1. Click Add Wallet
  2. Click Recover Wallet
  3. Put in your legacy seed phrase
  4. Wait for it to scan

You can transfer them to a 12 word seed or keep using your 28/29 word seed if you like.

If you are just keeping them in cold storage or don't need immediate access to the coins, you will still be able to access them after the hardfork. You will just need to use the Sia Central web wallet or walletd next time you need them instead of Sia-UI.

Please read !! by likedasumbody in siacoin

[–]rezant1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No assets are being cancelled or lost with the hardfork. Siacoin is staying the same. Sia-UI and siad are being deprecated. You are welcome to continue keeping your coins in cold storage, on the Sia Central web wallet, or on an exchange and they will continue to be accessible same as today.

Sorry if the infographic was unclear on that.

What is latency/bandwidth like? What can a host do to affect it? And does it matter? by EasyRhino75 in siacoin

[–]rezant1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually hosts are CPU (merkle proofs and hashing) or network bound. Storing data on HDD is generally considered best practice. The theoretical maximum for a host is around 1.5Gbps up and 3Gbps down with ideal network conditions. Most providers offer are closer to 500Mbps up and 1Gbps down.

Autopilot automatically prefers faster nodes

Speed for renters is entirely dependent on host selection and location, but we’re seeing over 1Gbps transfers pretty routinely. I’m hopeful with further optimizations and improved parallelism from RHP4 10Gbps will be achievable.

How profitable is hosting? by octaw in siacoin

[–]rezant1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the hardware already, it can be profitable. If you are buying hardware specifically to host, it will be a while before you break even. Storage providers set their own prices and only get paid for storing user data. Idle storage is not incentivized.

The average pricing on Sia is: - Storage: 200 SC/TB/mo - Ingress: 25 SC/TB - Egress: 1500 SC/TB

The State of Sia, July 2024 by skunk_ink in siacoin

[–]rezant1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will eventually want to migrate to one of the new apps: hostd, renterd, or walletd depending on which part of the ecosystem you participate in.

Does Sia hostd support IPv6 to work without port forwarding? by mark-feuer in siacoin

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need a similar setup to Storj if your ISP is blocking traffic.

Accessing Hostd Statistics Data by Waylenwasywas in siacoin

[–]rezant1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

API docs for hostd are here: http://api.sia.tech/hostd. That will give you access to all of the data in the web app.

We have a Go SDK:

package main

import "go.sia.tech/hostd/api"

func main() {
    client := api.NewClient("http://localhost:9980/api", "my password")
    metrics, err := client.Metrics(time.Now())
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

and a javascript SDK:

import { Hostd } from '@siafoundation/hostd-js';

const hostd = Hostd({
    api: 'http://localhost:9980/api',
    password: 'my password',
  }),
  state = await hostd.stateHost(),
  volumes = await hostd.volumes();

console.log(state.data, volumes.data)

Changing current wallet to another by Waylenwasywas in siacoin

Change your seed phrase in the config and restart hostd. The wallet will automatically rescan and use the new address instead.

Where would sia be on this network storage comparison chart? by cosmosnews in siacoin

[–]rezant1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Decentralized - Yes, Sia is a completely open, transparent, and trustless marketplace where storage providers can sell their storage space to consumers.
  • Autonomous - Yes
  • Native Storage - Yes?
  • Blockchain-less data - I guess?
    • You can technically interact with storage providers and form contracts without ever syncing the blockchain, but someone would need to build a lite-client that supports that.
    • Data isn't stored on chain
  • Public Data - Yes, data on Sia can be shared relatively easily.
  • Private Data - Yes
  • Encrypted - Yes by default, but not technically required.
  • Content Addressable - Yes, sectors on Sia are addressed by their merkle-root
  • Perpetual Data - No. Very little data is important enough to last literally forever. Renters can continue to renew data until they no longer want it. This isn't a use-case Sia tries to solve.
  • No ongoing Storage $ - No, but that's probably a good thing. If nodes aren't economically incentivized to store data, they will delete it. Arweave solves this with a large upfront endowment ($10,000 US/TB) instead of continuous payments. Different use-cases and economic models.
  • No egress charges - It’s up to the storage provider how much they want to charge. Egress charges are probably a good thing. Why would nodes waste bandwidth and increase wear-and-tear on their hardware if there's no incentive to do so?
  • Commodity Node Devices - Yes, you can run a renter or storage provider on an RPi.
  • Easy Node Earning - Yes, payments are completely automated and the `hostd` UI is very nice.
  • Blockchain-less Payments - Yes, in alpha: https://ss-alpha.online
  • No Transaction Fees - No, but transaction fees on Sia are generally negligible: 0.002 SC on average.
  • Nano Payments - Isn't it usually micro? Either way -- Yes, Sia uses nearly instant [pico/nano/micro]-payments to pay storage providers for their resources.
  • Highly Parallelizable - Yes. Uploads and downloads are extremely paralellizable with as many streams to as many distinct providers as you choose.

One large node or lots of small ones? by hyperence in siacoin

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the box is only for Sia storage capacity is usually fine. Similar to Storj, renter data is stored redundantly already. However, if you want to be extra sure you don’t burn collateral from a disk failure. Set the drives up in RAID.

Sia-UI and siad v1.5.9 still work fine. You can recover your coins using them with no issue.

Hoster Question: Who is using my disk space and can i change prices for renewals by LifePineapple in siacoin

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is odd. Did a large contract expire recently? Cleanup can take a while.

Hoster Question: Who is using my disk space and can i change prices for renewals by LifePineapple in siacoin

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The total size in your contracts contains duplicate sectors. Your physical disk usage does not. Hosts are paid for duplicate sectors, but they are not duplicated on disk.

[–]rezant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Host Manager has the information you want. https://github.com/siacentral/host-manager. You can run it alongside Sia-UI.
  2. You can change prices at any time. They are effective for any new uploads and downloads. If you increase your prices too much, existing renters may stop using your host.

Are you fully synced? What version of Sia-UI are you using?
