Use this page after the machine has already joined IDYL with idyl node join. For the first-time setup flow, start with Connect a node. These commands manage the local user service. They do not change fleet membership, subnet admission, or account ownership.

​
Start the service

Start an admitted node:
If admission is pending, idyl node start leaves the service stopped.

​
Check status

The status output includes the local node identity, realm, service state, and configured local resource limits. The provider display name is account-owned presentation metadata, not local node configuration. Use idyl node edit --set-display-name <name> or idyl node edit --clear-display-name to change it. A rename does not require a service restart.

​
View local config

Show the local node config paths, realm, and contribution limits:
Update the local node config:
You can also set disk and GPU limits:
If the service is running, stop and start it for updated limits to take effect.

​
View logs

Follow logs as the service runs:

​
Stop the service

Stopping the local service keeps the node identity and account registration. You can start the service again with idyl node start.

​
Remove the service integration

Use uninstall when you no longer want the user service installed on this machine:
This stops and removes the local service integration. It does not delete the node identity, unregister the node, or revoke admission.

​
Reset local node state

Reset deletes the local node identity and local node state:
Use reset only when you intentionally want this machine to stop using its current node identity. Reset does not transfer ownership to another account.
