Deploy Subnet With Subnet Deployment Wizard UI

1. Pull start.sh script from the generator Github repo and run. This will start a local webserver

   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XinFinOrg/Subnet-Deployment/v2.0.0/container-manager/start.sh
   chmod +x start.sh
   ./start.sh
   

2. Go to http://localhost:5210/ in your browser.
   

   If you are running this on a remote server.

   - if this is running on your server, first use ssh tunnel: ssh -N -L localhost:5210:localhost:5210 USERNAME@IP_ADDRESS -i SERVER_KEY_FILE
   - if you are using VSCode Remote Explorer, ssh tunnel will be available by default

3. Select one of the pre-defined configs or customize your Subnet.
