## Common questions

### What should I use to deploy a deCDN node on Kubernetes?

Use the deCDN Helm chart for Kubernetes. It deploys one release per node, for a cache node or an origin.

### What can go wrong when systemd stops a node that has already pulled data from another node?

After a node has completed at least one node-to-node pull, it can stay in router.shutdown() on SIGTERM until systemd sends SIGKILL at the 5-minute stop timeout.

### How can I run a node with a self-hosted relay instead of the public relay map?

Set the single [network] relay_url, or the DECDN_RELAY_URL environment variable. When set, it swaps the public n0 relay map for one self-hosted relay.

### What bond must a node post to join the deCDN peer mesh?

Nodes post a TOKEN capacity bond to join the peer mesh. It is scaled to declared bandwidth and is never below a global entry floor.
