docker ps -a
```
View logs of each docker container (choose one).
```sh
ethd logs -f

### Stakewise Operator Setup
Download the Stakewise Operator binary file & checksum [here](https://github.com/stakewise/v3-operator/releases)
cd
curl -LO https://github.com/stakewise/v3-operator/releases/download/v2.0.5/operator-v2.0.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz
curl -LO https://github.com/stakewise/v3-operator/releases/download/v2.0.5/operator-v2.0.5-linux-amd64.sha256
Print the checksum.
```sh
cat operator-v2.0.5-linux-amd64.sha256
```
Run the checksum verification process.
```sh
echo " operator-v2.0.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz" | sha256sum --check
```
Extract the `operator` file and move it into `/usr/local/bin`
```sh
tar xvf operator-v2.0.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo cp operator-v2.0.5-linux-amd64/operator /usr/local/bin
```
Initiatlise the `operator` service.
```sh
/usr/local/bin/./operator init
```
Create the validator keys.
/usr/local/bin/./operator create-keys
Create a hot wallet for your vault to pay for gas when activating new validator keys.
/usr/local/bin/./operator create-wallet
{% hint style="info" %}
Top up your hot wallet with some `XDAI` so that new validator keys can be activated once there is sufficient GNO staked in your vault
{% endhint %}
#### Start your Stakewise Operator service
Create a systemd configuration file.
```sh
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/stakewiseOperator.service
```
Enter the following contents.
```
[Unit]
Description=StakewiseOperator
After=network.target
[Service]
User=
Group=
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/operator start \
--network=gnosis \
--verbose \
--vault= \
--max-fee-per-gas-gwei=30 \
--consensus-endpoints=http://127.0.0.1:5052 \
--execution-endpoints=http://127.0.0.1:8545
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
**Notes:**
* Replace `` with your machine's actual user. This can be found in your terminal before the `@` symbol
* Replace ``with your actual vault address
Start the `operator` service.
```sh
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start stakewiseOperator
sudo systemctl status stakewiseOperator
sudo systemctl enable stakewiseOperator
```
View the logs.
Print the keystores password.
```sh
cat ~/eth-docker/.eth/validator_keys/password.txt
```
Run the keys import process with `eth-docker` and enter the keystores password when prompted.
```sh
ethd keys import
```
#### Upload the deposit data generated onto the [Stakewise V3 operator UI](https://app.stakewise.io/operate).
