This guide will teach you how to run more than one Rocket Pool node on the same computer using Docker. The nodes will share an existing EL-CL client combination (unless you're using it to run a Testnet node on the same computer), so this solution is very lightweight and allows running many nodes at once. But before we start, let me tell you when:
- If you just want to run multiple Minipools on the same node. Rocket Pool can already do that.
- If you're using native mode. Sorry, but this guide relies on Docker magic.
- To run your fallback node on the same computer as your primary node. You won't get any hardware redundancy this way, and running two full EL+CL client pairs on one computer doubles some of the hardware requirements. Talk with with me ([object Object] on the Rocket Pool Discord) before attempting this.
