For beginners, would be usefull to show the possible values or some examples, like true/false, info/warn/error, 20m15s, 500TB, 100MiB, etc., and where they can be used: before or after container name.

Kind of the only one you need, as this will show all the others. :slightly_smiling_face:

This works for all Storj binaries and for subcommands as well.

Yes, but here it can be completed with more explanations and examples of use (an extra Details column), plus discussions.

That’s true for Linux users. Windows users like things shown in nice, tabular format. :nerd_face:

:melting_face:

Linux users will be frantically typing man storagenode and mumbling something about how hard was it to implement man pages.

instead,

… windows users should cease clinging to the past and embrace the modern operating systems that don’t suck, don’t have registry, don’t shove advertising into to the users face, start menu, and dock, don’t force them to create fracking Microsoft account to install the os, and generally work.

I’ll show myself out

They already move back to Windows 10. Win 11 losses popularity by the hour.

I keep wondering how it is possible that using a Windows server license is a financiable way to host a node…

I made it a wiki for the future, I hope that the Community will keep it updated, otherwise you always can run storagenode setup --help

  • -retain.cache-path

What exactly is a retain request?

Its the bloom filters. Its what is used to determine what files to keep, and thus what files the garbage collection should move to trash. The cache allows the garbage collection process to continue if you restart your node in the middle. This is new to 1.104.5 i believe.

Gotcha, and what about - -retain.concurrency?

– help would be the most up to date, but there are 2 posts that complete eachother with more explanations.

this one is most recent for your version.

How many concurrent retain processes can be run simultaneously (roughly - how many satellites can be processed in parallel).

I changed from 5 to 1. I think is a safer setup for a multinodes system

Whouldn’t this be 1 as the optimum number?
I imagine if you have 2 or 3 running in the same time, they will influence eachother and won’t get things done faster than 1.

It depends. I didn’t change it and everything is working, all on 1.102.3 and moved 2.7TB to the trash.
