Cheat Sheet
The Dash Daemon joins and listens on the Dash network for payment transactions.
You will at least 2GB+ RAM + Swap (or 4GB+ without swap) and 50GB storage (20GB
for the ledger + another 20gb for indices) for dashd to be able to provide
transaction info and RPC services.
A first run will typically take several hours to sync.
dashd -- -conf=/home/app/.dashcore/dash.conf -datadir=/mnt/volume_100gb/dashcore/

How to run dashd as a system service
sudo env PATH="${PATH}" \
serviceman add --system --username "$(whoami)" --path "${PATH}" --name dashd -- \
dashd -- -conf=/home/app/.dashcore/dash.conf -datadir=/mnt/volume_100gb/dashcore/
How to enable Swap Space
dashd takes a lot of RAM during the initial sync phase. Once that is
completed, it uses significantly less for daily use.
If you want to save money you can give yourself 4GB+ Swap and although the sync process will run a little slower (but probably not that much), you'll be able to complete it using disk storage.
To create a swap file:
sudo fallocate -l 8G /var/swapfile
sudo chmod 0600 /var/swapfile
sudo mkswap /var/swapfile
To temporarily enable swap:
sudo swapon /var/swapfile
To permanently enable swap:
sudo bash -c 'echo "/var/swapfile none swap sw 0 0" > /etc/fstab'
To disable and delete swap:
sudo swapoff /var/swapfile
(don't forget to remove it from /etc/fstab as well)
See vps-addswap for details.
