Is this the easiest way to setup a node yet? I believe it is! Introducing easy_install.sh

I fleshed out yesterday's post a bit more (https://www.reddit.com/r/ethstaker/comments/k9zf42/get_staking_in_just_two_minutes_literally/ ) and made it into an easy_install script, hosted here:

​

PREREQUISITES: Debian based OS (eg. Ubuntu) , user with sudo rights.
DANGERS: make 100% sure you have a hard copy of the mnemonic, it is only shown once!

It's an interactive bash script that walks you though installing everything you need to run a self-hosted ETH2 node (including Geth as ETH1 client).
After you're done, you should have a resilient, secure setup that will survive reboots, accidental crashes, and has no unnecessary services exposed.

​

This is tailored to the Pyrmont testnet, if there's enough interest (and positive testing feedback), a production version becomes a possibility.

​

Try it out, let me know what could be improved (or better yet, improve it yourself and submit a PR on GitHub)!
