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

​
Check status

idyl node status
The status output includes the local node identity, realm, service state, and configured local resource limits.

​
View local config

Show the local node config paths, realm, and contribution limits: 
idyl node config show
Update the local node config: 
idyl node config set --realm global.idyl.network
idyl node config set --limit-cpu 2 --limit-memory 1Gi
You can also set disk and GPU limits: 
idyl node config set --limit-disk 50Gi --limit-gpu nvidia:1
If the service is running, stop and start it for updated limits to take effect.

​
View logs

idyl node logs
Follow logs as the service runs: 
idyl node logs --follow

​
Stop the service

idyl node stop
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: 
idyl node uninstall-service
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: 
idyl node reset --dangerous
Use reset only when you intentionally want this machine to stop using its current node identity. Reset does not transfer ownership to another account.
