RMU Build: Proxmox Setup
Install and configure Proxmox VE on the Gen-1.5 RMU — installation, repositories, container templates, ISO images, and LAN bridge networking.
RMU Build: Prerequisites
Networking, hardware, domain, and installation-media requirements to gather before starting the Gen-1 to Gen-1.5 RMU build runbook.
RMU Build: MaaS Setup
Provision the MaaS (Metal as a Service) container on the Gen-1.5 RMU, install MaaS, share it via Teleport, perform the initial configuration, and reserve a DHCP range for BMCs.
RMU Build: Best Practices and Reference
Recommended hardening and operational add-ons for the Gen-1.5 RMU — Proxmox firewall, RACADM, Dell OpenManage Enterprise, SuperMicro firmware updates, BMC console access, OPNsense GUI, and network/cabling reference tables.

Available monitoring and alerting tools that node providers can use to watch their node machines and data centers.
RMU build — Gen-1.5
Process for building a new Remote Management Unit to convert a Gen-1 site into a Gen-1.5 site — the staged path that adds remote access and tooling to the original Genesis hardware.
Gen-1 Node Provider onboarding Gen-2 node machines
How an existing Gen-1 node provider can register and onboard Gen-2 node machines — the proposal flow, identity step, and topology limits that apply.
Decentralization and Security Guide
Operational practices that node providers should follow to defend the Internet Computer's decentralization — independence, supply-chain hygiene, physical security, and key handling.
Data Center and ISP Guide
How node providers should approach selecting a data center and an ISP — distributing across countries, gathering quotes, and finalizing a colocation contract.
