# Set the blockchain storage location in /etc/obelisk/worker.config

# Then you can run the obelisk worker.
screen -S worker
obworker
# ctrl-a d to exit the screen, screen -r worker to get it back.

# run the obelisk load balancer. 
screen -S balancer

# If this is a deployment server, you'll probably want to run multiple workers. See http://libbitcoin.dyne.org/obelisk-setup.html for info on that.
