Click on CREATE DEPLOYMENT

You will need to make a 0.5 AKT or 5 USDC deployment deposit, which will be refunded to you upon closing the deployment.

Now, wait for bids, select your preferred provider and click on ACCEPT BID

Wait for deployment and check the tab EVENTS to see the IP that has been assigned!

Now go on tab UPDATE, insert your IP into the field IPV4_ADDRESS and click on UPDATE DEPLOYMENT

The node will be redeployed. You can check the LOGS tab as you normally do when installing it manually to verify if it goes online without errors. Alternatively, you can SSH into the container, which is the next step.
