1. Cloud Platform Account​

Galexie exports Stellar ledger metadata to Google Cloud Storage (GCS) or Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). You will need the relevant account and credentials for the cloud storage service you choose to use

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Account for GCS​

  • Permissions to create a new GCS bucket, or
  • Access to an existing bucket with read/write permissions.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Account for S3​

  • Permissions to create a new S3 bucket, or
  • Access to an existing bucket with read/write permissions.

Kubernetes​

  • Kubernetes 1.19+

Running the Galexie Container on an Instance​

  • Instance like AWS EC2 or GCP VM
  • OCI complaint container runtime installed on your instance, like Docker (Docker installation guide).
