2. Enable GPU support (optional)

In order to enable GPU support on your Compute Resource Node, you must:

Ensure that your system have a compatible GPU card.
Detach GPU cards from the kernel module drivers and attach it to QEMU vfio drivers.
Enable GPU support in the aleph-vm configuration.

Please follow these instructions

Enable GPU in the configuration of aleph-vm, by default in /etc/aleph-vm/supervisor.env. This is not the default yet.

ALEPH_VM_ENABLE_GPU_SUPPORT=True

After launching the server you can check the endpoint
http://localhost:4020/status/config or https://<your-node-domain>/status/config and verify that ENABLE_GPU_SUPPORT has the value true.

sudo apt install /opt/aleph-vm.ubuntu-24.04.deb

2. Enable Confidential Computing (optional)

In order to enable Confidential Computing on our Compute Resource Node, you must:

Use an AMD CPU from the 8004 or 9004 families.
Ensure that your system supports confidential computing. We have only tested Ubuntu 24.05 so far.
Enable SEV and SEV-SNP in the BIOS.
Enable confidential computing in the aleph-vm configuration.

Enable SEV in the configuration of aleph-vm, by default in /etc/aleph-vm/supervisor.env. This is not the default yet.

0.4.1

fe9235a

Aleph-vm 0.4.1

We are happy to announce aleph-vm in version 0.4.1.

This release fixes important bugs and increases the reliability of the metrics of the node.

As usual, node operators are expected to upgrade to the new release within a 2 weeks windows from the release.

Main changes

Improvements

Diagnostic API Updated: Integrated a new diagnostic VM with the latest runtime, improving the handling of message reading, IPv6 detection, and message signing tests.
Internet Connectivity Checks: Enhanced the internet connectivity checks by the diagnostic VM to multiple endpoints, improving reliability in connectivity assessments.
CORS Headers Fix: Addressed issues with duplicated CORS headers in the HTTP response, ensuring proper handling and preventing CORS-related errors.

Developer tooling

VM Launching from pytest: Enabled testing of VMs from pytest, increasing code coverage and preparing the space for more advanced automated tests.
Hatch Configuration: Modified the Hatch configuration to properly set up environments for testing using the virtual environment built-in module.
Makefile and Documentation Updates: Updated Makefile and documentation to require an 'update' argument for the 'aleph program', facilitating the publishing process.

Bug Fixes

Error Handling and Validation: Improved error handling in various APIs to ensure earlier and more accurate failure detection. Notably, fixed issues where invalid item hashes and double-encoded JSON data led to errors.
Typing and Syntax Corrections: Numerous fixes related to Python typing annotations and syntax corrections, including proper handling of strict types, correct annotations, and elimination of circular imports.
