Decentralized Distribution Node & Cluster Routing Deployment

Deploying a Trip.Enterprises distribution node within your enterprise network ensures local caching, low latency (sub-20ms), and isolated telemetry processing. Follow this deployment process:

1. Prerequisites and System Requirements

• Hardware: 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 20GB SSD storage.
• Software: Docker Engine 24.0+, Docker Compose v2.20+, and openssl.
• Network: Outbound HTTPS access (port 443) to the coordinator cluster. Inbound access is not required as the node maintains a persistent reverse WebSocket tunnel.

2. Deployment Steps

1. Initialize Directory: Create a dedicated directory on your node server:

   mkdir -p /opt/trip-node && cd /opt/trip-node

2. Generate Node Secret Key: Create a 256-bit cryptographic signature key bound to your organization:

   openssl rand -hex 32 > node.key

3. Configure Environment: Create a .env file specifying the node identifier and registration token provided in the partner portal:

   NODE_ID=node-pms-sync-01 COORDINATOR_URL=https://coordinator.trip.express REGISTRATION_TOKEN=your_secure_registration_token SECRET_KEY_PATH=/opt/trip-node/node.key

4. Deploy Service: Launch the containerized daemon via Docker:

   docker run -d --name trip-dist-node \ - -restart unless-stopped \ - v /opt/trip-node:/etc/trip \ - -env-file /opt/trip-node/.env \ trip-express/distribution-node:latest

3. Cluster Health Verification

Once deployed, verify connectivity by querying the local health endpoint:

curl http://localhost:8080/health

A successful response returns a signed JSON packet:

{ "status": "active", "node_id": "node-pms-sync-01", "tunnel_established": true, "signature": "0x7f3a...c81b" }
