Hi everyone,
Some people on this list have been asking about the possibility of purchasing hardware for a RIPE Atlas anchor by themselves and assembling it.
This is indeed possible. However we do not recommend it because if the assembled hardware is not exactly to our specifications, we will not be able to use it as an anchor.
If you still wish to assemble an anchor by yourself, you can find step by step instructions here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/anchor-installation/
Please, note that you do need more than the Soekris box. The anchor consists of:
• Soekris Net6501-70 board • 1U 19-inch rack-mounted case • Intel SSD 525 or 530 series 240GB mSATA SSD
More requirements are listed here: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/
If you have more questions about anchors, please email to atlas@ripe.net and we will be very happy to help you.
