If you've been building on Midnight or want to participate in the network without trusting third-party infrastructure, run your own full node. This tutorial takes you from a bare Ubuntu/Debian machine to a healthy, synced node, including common failure points such as dropped peers and getting stuck on block 1.
Target audience: Developers and node operators who are comfortable with the Linux command line and Docker.
Prerequisites:
A Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12 server (bare metal or VPS)
Docker Engine installed (covered below)
