Introduction

by Sentinel Independent News

dVPN Node Manager (also known by its Linux command line name, dvpn-node-manager), developed by Sentinel validator and development contributor Foxinodes in collaboration with the Sentinel Growth DAO, has a new alpha release.

The script simplifies and automates the setup and maintenance of Sentinel Nodes—the community-hosted network of servers that keep Sentinel's peer-to-peer bandwidth marketplace alive. It was originally created to manage Raspberry Pi-based Sentinel Nodes, but has since been extended to work on Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions.

As Foxinodes put it in April:

This tool is a direct response to the technical challenges that individuals wishing to participate in the Sentinel Network might encounter without the need for advanced computing skills. It offers users a valuable opportunity not only to enhance Internet security and privacy but also to participate in an innovative decentralized ecosystem, while generating passive income.

For information specific to this new update and further details on using the script, keep reading below.

Update Summary

We're thrilled to announce the release of dvpn-node-manager version 1.0.0-alpha12! This new alpha release brings several exciting updates and improvements:

Changelog

  • Added Support for Debian 12: Now you can run dvpn-node-manager on the latest Debian OS.
  • OS Detection: Enhanced function to detect Debian OS versions, making setup smoother and more efficient.
  • Bugfix: Resolved an issue where the $SUDO_USER variable was not initialized, improving script reliability.

The .deb package has been published and is now available. You can update to the latest version via the apt repository with the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade dvpn-node-manager

Alternatively, you can download the latest package directly from our GitHub releases page.

Because dvpn-node-manager is still in alpha, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to upload them to the GitHub repository. That will help us improve the script and make installation as easy as possible.

Thank you for your continued support!
