How To Add a New Worker - Windows

Note: Adding new workers to the IO network is currently disabled. Please continue to check our Discord announcements channel for details on when new workers can be added.


Delete Existing Docker Containers & Images

 

Execute the following commands in Windows Terminal to delete existing Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes.

 

  1. docker stop $(docker ps -qa)

  2. docker rm $(docker ps -qa)

  3. docker rmi -f $(docker images -qa)

  4. docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf)

  5. docker network rm $(docker network ls -q)


Download The IO Launch Binary

 

  1. Download the latest binary for Linux from our GitHub repository

  2. Modify the command below and set --device_id="new-device-id", --user_id="your-user-id", and --device_name="new-device-name" to match your Device ID, User ID, and preferred worker name

  3. Copy and paste the modified command into Terminal, hit enter to execute the binary, and then follow the on-screen prompts to authenticate and complete the setup


io_net_launch_binary_windows.exe --device_id="new-device-id" --user_id="your-user-id" --operating_system="Windows" --usegpus=true --device_name="new-device-name"

 

Please note that to run the binary, you will need to execute the command above from the directory you downloaded the binary to. Unless you've changed the download directory in your browser, this should default to the Downloads directory. In Windows Terminal, you can change over (cd) to this directory using the command below:

 

cd C:\Users\username\Downloads

 

Please change username in the command above to match the username you use to login to Windows with before executing the command.
