Choose an operator path

  • Windows and Linux operators can use the released desktop app.
  • macOS operators should use the CLI until a signed and notarized installer is published.
  • Technical operators can use the CLI on any supported environment.

Prepare the sandbox

Customer workloads run in a network-disabled Docker sandbox. Docker and the PlanetNodes executor image must be ready before accepting work.

Start with conservative limits

Set a price, region, schedule, resource limits, and safety thresholds. Confirm diagnostics before leaving the node unattended.
