Reinstall

Makes a new install command with a new agent token, for a new or rebuilt server. An agent that is still running keeps serving until the new install replaces it.

  → the agent connects, the node turns active

Reinstall gives a node a new agent token and prints a fresh install command. The node keeps its ID, settings, price and stake; there is nothing to deposit again. The command repeats the node's cover site, WARP, Torrent Guard and GRE+IPsec settings.

When to use it

  • The server was rebuilt or replaced and the agent is gone.
  • The agent can't connect any more and restarting it does not help.
  • You lost the install command of a node that never connected.

What happens to a running agent

The running agent's token is kept as a grace token, so a healthy node goes on serving users while you run the new command, and an active node stays active. Run the command on the same server: the installer replaces the running agent. A node that is not active shows as pending until the new agent connects.

Running it

SSH into the server and run the new command as root. The node turns active once the agent connects with the new token.
