# 2.1: Setting Up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with Bitcoin Standup
22

This document explains how to set up a VPS (Virtual Private Sever) to run a Bitcoin node on Linode.com, installed using an automated StackScript from the [Bitcoin Standup project](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Bitcoin-Standup-Scripts). You just need to enter a few commands and boot your VPS. Almost immediately after you boot, you'll find find your new Bitcoin node happily downloading blocks.

It is very nice to be able experiment with real bitcoin transactions on a live node without tying up a self-hosted server on a local network. It's also useful to be able to use an iPhone or iPad to communicate via SSH to your VPS to do some simple bitcoin tasks. But a higher level of safety is required for significant funds.

Blockchain Commons is currently in the process of expandings its Bitcoin Standup Scripts with options to install Lightning and other Bitcoin apps of note. Take a look at any extra options, and see if they're things that you'd like to play with. In particular, if Lightning is an option, we suggest installing it, because it will make [Chapter 18](18_0_Understanding_Your_Lightning_Setup.md) and [Chapter 19](19_0_Using_Lightning.md) much easier.
