This guide provides the technical specifications and procedural steps required to deploy a **Sovereign Node** within the Aegis-Graph network. Institutional nodes act as trusted validators, contributing to the global consensus of the **Sovereign Academic Graph (SAG)**.
## 🏛️ Deployment Architectures
| Mode | Use Case | Requirements |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Edge Node** | High-speed local auditing for single institutions. | Low latency, ARM64 optimized. |
| **Consensus Node** | Global validation and graph synchronization. | High availability, ECC RAM. |
| **Archive Node** | Full historical ledger of academic metadata. | High storage, NVMe RAID. |
---
## 1. Prerequisites
### 💻 Hardware Specifications
* **CPU**: 8+ Cores (ARM64/Graviton recommended for efficiency).
* **RAM**: 32GB+ ECC DDR4/DDR5.
* **Network**: 1Gbps symmetrical uplink with static IP.
* **Storage**: 500GB+ NVMe SSD (Gen4 recommended).
### 🐧 Software Environment
* **OS**: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Amazon Linux 2023.
* **Runtime**: Python 3.11+, Docker 24.0.0+.
* **Security**: OpenSSL 3.0+, Fail2Ban, UFW/Firewall rules.

## 2. Fast-Track Installation
Deploy a standard Sovereign Node using our automated kernel bootstrap script:
```bash
# Initialize the Aegis-Kernel Environment
curl -sSL https://get.aclas.college/aegis-kernel | bash
# Configure your Institutional Identity
# Replace SOV_XXX with your assigned Institutional ID
aegis config --node-id SOV_ATL_0782 --api-key <YOUR_TOKEN>
# Launch the Multi-Agent Swarm
aegis start --mode consensus --workers 4
```
---
## 3. Containerized Deployment (Docker)
For high-availability clusters, we recommend using our official Docker images:
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
aegis-node:
image: ghcr.io/aclascollege/aegis-node:latest
environment:
- NODE_ID=SOV_ATL_0782
- PRIVACY_LEVEL=MAX (ZKE)
- GRAPH_SYNC=TRUE
volumes:
- ./data:/var/lib/aegis/graph
ports:
- "8080:8080"
restart: always
```
---
## 🔒 Security & Compliance
### ZKE Privacy Protocol
All nodes must operate under the **ACLAS Zero-Knowledge Evidence (ZKE)** protocol. This ensures that:
1. **No PII Storage**: Personal data is processed in-memory and immediately scrubbed.
2. **Metadata Hashing**: Only cryptographic hashes of audit trails are synced to the global ledger.
3. **Encrypted Handshakes**: All MARS agent communications are TLS 1.3 encrypted.
---
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
- **Sync Latency**: Check peer-to-peer connectivity using `aegis status --peers`.
- **Memory Pressure**: Ensure swap is disabled for maximum audit performance.
- **Agent Failures**: Review logs in `/var/log/aegis/mars.log`.
