About
Key features:  
  • creation of new BEACON and ECDSA nodes in semi-automated way.
  • managing nodes: checking status, connected peers, destroy node, keep every node credentials in one place.  
You don't have to read heavy text guides to set up new node anymore. Just follow simple instructions in the app and most heavy work it will automatically finish for you like:
  • receive KEEP 300k grant
  • rent server for the node
  • configure server via SSH
  • install keep client
  • configure your node with all your credentials
  • start node
Also this application stores all your created nodes and allow to manage them:
  • check status
  • check number of connected peers
  • destroy
  • store all node's info: name, ip, id, login, pass and so on.  
Author's plans

This is the first version of application, currently working on testnet.
And I want to add such functionality in the near future:
  • mainnet nodes support
  • show logs flow directly in the app
  • add opportunity  to send custom commands via ssh to server and see output flow
  • more privacy and security concerning user's data, encryption of all vulnerable data
  • add improvements to UI, refactoring UI code
  • maybe QML UI implementation
  • additional features in which community will be interested.  
Change Log
31.10.2020

-Added more opportunities for the user:      
  • User can add existing running node    
  • If user wants to create new node with the help of Keep_nodes installer on his own VPS, now he has an option to enter his VPS credentials and leave all other installation work for my app.
-Added much more automation to the node install process. User doesn't need to use metamask during the process in order to delegate KEEP, authorize  contracts and bond ETH. The process is super  simple and fully automated, there is no need in web dashboard anymore. Keep_nodes installer  communicates with ethereum network itself, sending signed transactions to the ethereum node. Your private key never leaves your PC

-improvements to the app's user interface:     
  • Improved  node management section UI;     
  • Structured node installing logs;     
  • Removed all unused input fields, after adding automation;     
  • Simplified user instructions;     
  • Tested different user  behaviour.
