@Jcloud Where you able to run at the same time more nodes than cpu cores? I read this limitation somewhere

I honestly haven't tried that, but I can tonight, after work (~4hrs), I'm only up to ten nodes -- and I thought that was plenty.

Look at the plugin user scripts, there u can write and use shell bash e.g.

 

And we may could install them easy.

Confirmed. You can not start more nodes than one has system cores.

root@HYDRA:/mnt/user/storj# docker exec Storj storjshare start --config /storj/Node_32/config.json

  failed to start node, reason: insufficient system resources available

I also took this experiment to watch the Container in my Netdata Docker Container. With each additional farming node the CPU usage stays the same, but each node adds ~50MB to allocated memory.

First try, no luck.

 

I have move my old storjshare to Node1, and I have creates 4 more nodes/folders.

Then I run this command

 

 

root@MediaCenter:~# docker exec Storj storjshare-create --storj ******************* --storage /Storj/Node2 --size 200GB --outfile /Storj/Node2/config.json --rpcaddress 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 4004 --manualforwarding true --logdir /Storj/Node2

 

  failed to write config, reason: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Storj/Node2/config.json'

 

 

Why? I think I found a solution here https://github.com/Storj/storjshare-daemon/issues/122

But I don't know where should I create the folder they mention. I would appreciate if you can do a guide for dummies

 

On the other hand how do you have configured the docker template? everytime I run it even after setting up the script it run a node at the level of /Storj and doesn't even run my original storjshare in Node1 folder

 

For the script this is the setup (image)

No don't do that, just leave your current share in original folder think of it as "Node0" and just start/make node1.

Linux is CaSe SENsiTIVe, so are storj is lower case (on mine at least), and is Node2 folder capitalized on your system? If so, it's okay, if not that needs to change. 

I'm assuming since you moved your first node, that in your /user/mnt/storj location (unRAID user share for storj) you ran mkdir Node2 to make the new folder, before running the really long create command. Also, I saw your -rpcaddress is 0.0.0.0 if you're using dynamicDNS you can remove the "0.0.0.0" and put in your dDNS address -- if you're drawing a blank on this, don't worry about it for now.

At work, can't make the answer now. I'll do screen shots later tonight and edit this post.

Ok I will leave as "Node0"

Regarding the sensitive case I think is fine, I have taken that into account the nodes are really under \Storj\Node2

RPCaddress is fine I just replaced it by 0-0-0-0 to post it here, I'm using duckdns

Do I have to create the folders in CLI? I just created them from windows throug samba, I will try.

Hrmm perhaps run the Fix file permissions on webui (under tools I think), perhaps permissions are off because of using samba versus what Docker container wants. Couldn't hurt (making a pot-shot in the dark here)

If I run the comand below in the screenshot I get the output above the command

 

Every time I run the command it writes a new Json file but I don't know where it is stored

 

Every time I run the command to create a new node I get this error

 

The path are fine, is case sensitive, I don't now what could be failing, I have found this https://github.com/Storj/storjshare-daemon/issues/122

but I don't know how to use it to fix this issue

 

Any idea?

Cool, now i have full reputation (5000) and already 3gb.

 

First it was 100mb, then some time 300 then sometime 900, now one day, 3gb... :=)

 

I wonder how much they pay. 

reputation seems to be important (24/7 online, good connection, 5000 is max)

Should I only portfordard 4000-4003 in my router or should I do it in unraid aswell?

u port forward from router to unraid ip and in unraid to docker, or if u use standalone ip for docker, then to the standalone ip, depends on your setup.

 

With https://storjstat.com/index.asp you can check if port is open (click on your ip or DNS) and you can see some nice stats. You diont need to install anything for it just search for your node id.

Okay thanks it seems to be working. Is it worth it trying to use multiple nodes or should I stick with one?

@nuhll How long did you run for in total to get to 5000?

 

Do you guys think auto update should be off, since the server will shut down for the update and hence will not be up 24/7? How would that affect updates in general?

No, update is important!

 

Docker gets updated like every day, np. (they also count who use old images, so i guess, its a quality factor!? Or might be at some time?!)

 

I would go with one node and when its easy to do sometime, then add more, or if one node is full. 

 

Currently iam nearly at 4gb, so i guess a good day

 

24.2 is my first post in this thread, so i guess around that date. You get some points for every X online. (i dont know X)

I am trying out multiple nodes, is there a way I can configure them to automatically start after an auto update to the storj docker?

Arg forums and cutting/pasting. @L0rdRaiden check that command line, Linux is case sensitive  (Sorry, you know that) also it's the the path with respect to *inside* the container so try changing: 

--storage /mnt/user/Storj/Node_1    to:

--storage /storj/Node_1

 

This will make it the config file go to (in unRAID host) to: /mnt/user/storj/Node_1

 

I know, sorry, it's command-line version of "Inception" (the movie; or 13th Floor for you purists  )

I've been trying to work on this too, I don't have a great working solution yet. My first attempt at doing this (seems to work about 50%) is outlined here

Yeah I saw it earlier after I wrote. I will try your solution, thanks!

Thinking about this at work, since I've been away from box for a few days, I think this works for when one updates the template, but doesn't actually work for the automatic updates. Which I think is why I thought, "it worked 50% of the time."   So, my mistake. I think I was looking at CA userScript plugin, making a "stupid" scheduled task, about 10 minutes after the update Window, which would kick off loading the multiple nodes.

Edited March 29, 20188 yr by Jcloud

There are news, nearly 5gb (4,95). And i got my first payment (1,24usd worth) - but this must be the payment for i dont know 300mb, maybe.

Yeah I am doing the "stupid" script now aswell, but there has to be a better solution.I will continue to research.

I dont get it, why its not possible to make a docker per node?

I hope you can get this work for dummies, like everything configurable from the docker template.

I have tried to troubleshoot the folder error but nothing works. Just running 1 node.

 

 

Edited March 30, 20188 yr by L0rdRaiden

Cant we just add another docker container with a different name/folder?

Edit:

tried it, works just perfect, didnt changed ports, will monitor if that works, but besides this... i changed my one node (1TB) to 2 nodes with 100GB each.
