This tutorial will proceed with the yes option. If you haven't set up a bare metal server yet, select no and refer to this guide to secure a bare metal server.

Set Mainnet Validator Identity Key

⚠️ Please place your identity key in ~/.slv/keys/<your-relayer-pubkey>.json

bash
? Enter Relayer Account Address › 3QJmZ2tJ4p7W3U7b7zj1Z8YXf2J6JZ8F1

✔︎ Success
✔ Inventory updated to /Users/fumi/.slv/inventory.relayer.yml
✔ Successfully created solv user on gnz9qntHdXDRVbthem2e28F8Asta8Lqp5FRDoDVrSLV
🟢 Relayer Inventory Added
⚠️ Please place your identity key in ~/.slv/keys/3QJmZ2tJ4p7W3U7b7zj1Z8YXf2J6JZ8F1.json

Now you can deploy with:

$ slv v deploy:relayer -p gnz9qntHdXDRVbthem2e28F8Asta8Lqp5FRDoDVrSLV

After this, a solv user will be created on the bare metal server, and a Relayer configuration file will be created in the ~/.slv/inventory.relayer.yml directory.

The Relayer configuration file is used when executing the slv v deploy:relayer command.

Firewall Configuration

Port settings related to the Relayer are listed in the mainnet-validators section of the ~/.slv/versions.yml file.

yaml
mainnet_validators:
  solana_cli: jito
  version_agave: 2.1.16
  version_jito: 2.1.16
  allowed_ssh_ips:
    - x.x.x.x
  allowed_ips:
    - x.x.x.x

Add the necessary IP addresses for the Relayer as needed.

bash
slv v update:allowed-ips

Deploy Jito Relayer

As shown in the log above, run the following command to deploy the Relayer:

bash
slv v deploy:relayer -p gnz9qntHdXDRVbthem2e28F8Asta8Lqp5FRDoDVrSLV
