Add multiple drives in Docker commands

Node Operators

If I’m being honest, setting up multinode is a pain and doesn’t work. I copied the command and it said it no longer wants an identity-dir flag, so I removed that mount, and then removed the other mount as well, but then it crashes saying it cannot create “/app/config” due to a permissions error.

Not sure what to do really. I want to run multiple nodes but if this doesn’t work then I’m not sure what to do.

It seems I was using an old-dockerfile somehow. Does anyone know of a new one?

you should post here what commands are you actually using.
no idea what you mean by docker file, are you using compose to deploy?

And also, please skip the setup step for the second container, because it should be executed only for a new node, but not the old one, otherwise you can destroy it.

Thank you for the information! I’ve found a link to a solution that looks good.

Just a quick question, when using watchtower, do I have to deploy it once for every storagenode, or can I deploy it once for all my storagenodes?

Thank you for all the help everyone! I have managed to get 2 nodes running, along with multinode, all using docker-compose!

The one watchtower instance is enough to update all containers, just list them in its argument.
For example

version: "3.3"
services:
  storagenode1:
    image: storjlabs/storagenode:latest
    container_name: storagenode1
...
  storagenode2:
    image: storjlabs/storagenode:latest
    container_name: storagenode2
...
  watchtower:
    image: storjlabs/watchtower
    restart: always
    container_name: watchtower
    command: "storagenode1 storagenode2 watchtower --stop-timeout 300s"
    volumes:
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
