I found this information in an EOS telegram channel and thought its to valuable to not be on EOS community forum. So I start this thread, since I did not find something similar.

# Chapter 1. Setting up a nodeos server

[`nodeos`](https://developers.eos.io/manuals/eos/latest/nodeos/index)
is the core software of an EOSIO blockchain. It is a daemon that
performs all functions of a blockchain node: synchronizing with other
nodes via p2p protocol, providing HTTP API for client software, and
optionally signing blocks if it belongs to a block producer.

Further in this guide, we're only considerinhg non-producing nodes.

`nodeos` is available in source code and binary packages at [EOSIO
GitHub repository](https://github.com/EOSIO/eos). The binary packages
are available in Releases section. Supported platforms are Ubuntu
16.04 and 18.04, RHEL7, and MacOS. Ubuntu 18.04 is recommended, and
will be used further in this guide.

Does my article need an update?

I don’t know. I am not a block producer, nor do I have the necessary knowledge to judge. I just thought maybe good, to collect them here
