Supply node

Register hardware

The website handles pairing and downloads. A small Windows agent runs on your PC to detect hardware, measure upload speed, and stay online for renters.

Why not a pure website?

  • Browsers cannot read CPU, GPU, RAM, or disk — and cannot run in the background after you close the tab.
  • Real upload speed must be measured from your PC to our servers, not guessed in JavaScript.
  • Renters need a always-on daemon (like Steam) for heartbeats, storage sync, and future remote desktop.

Today: zip + Node.js agent (dev). Shipped product: single .exe installer, no Node required.

Step 1 — Pairing code

Valid for 30 minutes. One code = one PC.

Step 2 — Windows PC (one double-click)

  1. Extract the zip anywhere (e.g. Desktop)
  2. Install Node.js LTS from nodejs.org if prompted (dev only — production uses .exe)
  3. Double-click windows\SkyPC-Setup.bat

The agent will detect CPU, GPU, RAM, disk, run a 2 MB upload/download speed test, register with SkyPC, and start in the background (no terminal window).

Optional: windows\add-to-startup.bat to run on Windows login · Logs: agent.log

Developers (Mac / terminal)

# Place config.json in agent/ with your pairing code, then:
npm run agent

Step 3 — Check listings

Your PC should show as Online with real specs and ↑ upload Mbps within a minute.
