This is a quick demo of setting up a Midnight side-chain and validator node on a single VPS. _(Not recommended, ideally, you should run the side-chain on one VPS and the validator on another.)_

Please remember to follow best practices and apply proper security measures when setting up your own environment. The VPS shown in this video will be deleted after the demo.
