- 1 **Validator Proxy node**: can be a VM or container in a multi-tenant environment (e.g. a public cloud), but requires high availability
- 1 **Attestation node**: can be a VM or container in a multi-tenant environment (e.g. a public cloud), and has moderate availability requirements

Celo is a Proof of Stake network, which has different hardware requirements than a Proof of Work network. Proof of Stake consensus is less CPU intensive, but has is more sensitive to network connectivity and latency. Below is a list of standard requirements for running a Validator node on the Celo Network:

### Create the Validator and Validator Group accounts

First, you'll need to generate account keys for your Validator and Validator Group. These are the keys that will have access to your locked Celo Gold, and thus should be handled with care. For the purposes of this guide, we will be storing these keys on your local machine, but we recommend that you store then in a more secure manner.

### Running the Docker containers in the background

There are different option for executing Docker containers in the background. The most typical one is to use in your docker run commands the `-d` option. Also for long running processes, specially when you run in a remote computer, you can use a tool like [screen](https://ss64.com/osx/screen.html). It allows to connect and disconnect from running processes providing an easy way to manage long run processes.

It's out of the scope of this documentation to go through the `screen` options, but you can use the following command format with your `docker` commands:

### Stopping containers

You can stop the Docker containers at any time without problem. If you stop your containers that means those containers stop of providing service.

The data dir of the validator and the proxy are Docker volumes mounted in the containers from the `celo-data-dir` you created at the very beginning. So if you don't remove that folder, you can stop or restart the containers without losing any data.

You can stop the `celo-validator` and `celo-proxy` containers running:
