# Deploy a Machine for Your Planetmint Node
The first step is to deploy a machine for your Planetmint node.
It might be a virtual machine (VM) or a real machine, for example,
an EC2 on AWS or a droplet on Digital Ocean.
If you follow this simple deployment template, all your node's
software will run on that one machine.
We don't make any assumptions about _where_ you run the machine.
It might be in Azure, AWS, your data center or a Raspberry Pi.
## IP Addresses
The following instructions assume all the nodes
in the network (including yours) have public IP addresses.
(A Planetmint network _can_ be run inside a private network,
using private IP addresses, but we don't cover that here.)
## Operating System
**Use Ubuntu 18.04 Server or above versions as the operating system.**
Similar instructions will work on other versions of Ubuntu,
and other recent Debian-like Linux distros,
but you may have to change the names of the packages,
or install more packages.
## Network Security Group
If your machine is in AWS or Azure, for example, _and_
you want users to connect to Planetmint via HTTPS,
then you should configure its network security group
to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic for:
* TCP on port 22 (SSH)
* TCP on port 80 (HTTP)
* TCP on port 443 (HTTPS)
* Any protocol on port 26656 (Tendermint P2P)
If you don't care about HTTPS, then forget about port 443,
and replace port 80 with port 9984 (the default Planetmint HTTP port).
## Update Your System
SSH into your machine and update all its OS-level packages:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
```
## DNS Setup
* Register a domain name for your Planetmint node, such as `example.com`
* Pick a subdomain of that domain for your Planetmint node, such as `bnode.example.com`
* Create a DNS "A Record" pointing your chosen subdomain (such as `bnode.example.com`)
at your machine's IP address.
