Create a Lease

Create a lease for the bid from the chosen provider above by running this command:

provider-services tx market lease create --dseq $NEXQLOUD_DSEQ --provider $NEXQLOUD_PROVIDER --from $NEXQLOUD_KEY_NAME

Confirm the Lease

You can check the status of your lease by running:

provider-services query market lease list --owner $NEXQLOUD_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS --node $NEXQLOUD_NODE --dseq $NEXQLOUD_DSEQ

Note the bids will close automatically after 5 minutes, and you may get the response:

bid not open

If this happens, close your deployment and open a new deployment again. To close your deployment run this command:

provider-services tx deployment close --dseq $NEXQLOUD_DSEQ  --owner $NEXQLOUD_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS --from $NEXQLOUD_KEY_NAME 

If your lease was successful you should see a response that ends with:

    state: active

Please note that once the lease is created, the provider will begin debiting your deployment's escrow account, even if you have not completed the deployment process by uploading the manifest in the following step.
