Hello, my friends.
because of many problems in recent days which was because of failure in steemit official RPC and some other public nodes after shutting down old official node (steemd.steemit.com), I bought a dedicated server for running a private node and increase the performance of steemauto and steemfollower.

today I received a message from server provider which said my server is ready.

and I installed [steem-docker](https://github.com/Someguy123/steem-docker) (thanks to @someguy123 for this package) and edited config file and added all plugins. ([full node config.ini](https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/master/contrib/fullnode.config.ini))

Server information:
256 GB DDR4 RAM
1TB SSD
1-10 Gbit/s bandwidth

I paid more than $400 for this server.

Installation process: (I think my installation is correct)
after updating packages and installing docker:

and after editing config file, a 'replay' is enough:

</center>
Now I should wait about 24 hours or more for syncing node.

You don't need to understand this process, it was just an information about whole process.
I will announce when node was synced and configured in the steemauto and steemfollower.

Note: it is a private node only for steemauto and steemfollower, so server IP will stay private.

Thanks for using steemauto and steemfollower.
