If you need to upgrade your node software to V2 please read the following information:
1. Cancel/destroy servers currently running on other VPS providers.
2. Follow the instructions below to set up your servers again in order to run V2 node software.
Your node could be offline for a number of reasons, we have listed some of the most common below. Please note that you are responsible for ensuring your node is online and running.
1. Your computer has entered sleep mode.
Your display does not have to remain on but if your computer is in sleep mode your node will not be able to run on your computer locally and you will have to follow the Mac install steps to bring it back online. The steps are found under step 4.
2. Vultr is showing my server running but my node says offline.
This means your server is running, but your node software is not. You may need to restart your server or open the server console and log into your Galvan Account again.
3. My power went out or my wifi rebooted.
This could cause your Galvan Software to restart which would require you to log in again.
4. I am running my node on my Mac with the Galvan Software but my dashboard says it is offline.
