Before the Inference Node can be launched with the Fortytwo Container, the .env file has to be set up first. If you haven’t set it up during the ‘Quick Start’ stage, copy and rename the .env.example reference file or create empty .env file and fill with the following placeholder data: 
# protocol
FT_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY=
FT_NODE_LISTENER_PORT=42042

# capsule 
FT_CAPSULE_HTTP_HOST="0.0.0.0"
FT_CAPSULE_HTTP_PORT=42442
FT_CAPSULE_LLM_HF_REPO=
FT_CAPSULE_LLM_HF_MODEL_NAME=

INPUT_MODEL_CACHE=./model_cache

​
Environment Parameters

​
FT_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY

Paste in the private key of an EVM-compatible Web3 account.
  • Your Web3 account should be unqie for each node that you run simultaniously. This applies to both Inference and Relay nodes.
    For example: if you intend to run 8 nodes on 8×GPU rig at the same time, you’ll need 8 private keys.
  • Keep your Private Key secure. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control systems.

​
FT_NODE_LISTENER_PORT

Default port is 42042. Change it if necessary.
  • If another process in the system is using this port, for example, a Relay Node is running on the same machine, then change this port for the Inference Node.
  • If running several Inference Nodes on the same machine at the same time, each of them should have its own unique port defined.
  • The defined prots should not be occupied by other processes in the system.
  • It must be different from the FT_RPC_SERVICE_PORT.

​
FT_CAPSULE_HTTP_PORT

Default port is 42442. Change it if necessary.
  • If another process in the system is using this port, for example, a Relay Node is running on the same virtual machine, then change this port for the Inference Node.
  • It must be different from the FT_NODE_LISTENER_PORT.

​
FT_CAPSULE_LLM_HF_REPO

Hugging Face repository ID. For example: Fortytwo-Network/Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1-GGUF
for this repository: https://huggingface.co/Fortytwo-Network/Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1-GGUF

​
FT_CAPSULE_LLM_HF_MODEL_NAME

Hugging Face model ID. For example: Fortytwo_Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1-Q4_K_M.gguf
