More than one Storagenode on windows GUI

Hello Storj Team. I have knolage how to install more than one node on windows GUI. It is a litle bit for Advanced Users but simple. Before i Publish it, want to hear Storj Team opinion about this. It has some +/- also. 1)If SNO has more than 1 HDD, no need to make raid 0, what is also not recomended, in this case 1 hdd falure will not loose both hdd data. 2) separate threads dealind with separate hdd. No autoupdate yet. For some reson autoupdate service not updating it, may be t…

The recommendation is running one node per drive.
I can assume that you already have a one node on your Windows system.
You can install a Docker desktop on it (Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise only) and setup a second node for the second drive:

CLI Install - Storj Docs

Each node must have an own signed identity and published port, so you should choose a different port for your second node:

Multiple storage nodes

Let me give it a shot. You would be creating a new identity and signing it with a new token. Just make sure you use another name like storagenode2 to create and sign the identity. You’ll also be creating a second container, which then also needs a different name, so storagenode2 could be used there as well. You need to use a different port for this node as well, so do the port forwarding and firewall rules for another port (like 28968). In the docker run command you would then change the ports…

Ok Guys,

i want to install a second node and had read the infos here in this thread.
Have all done but the Windows installer GUI installs only one node not a second or a third.
What should i do to to run it and install it via the GUI?

[Alexey]

Do not use the GUI for second, third, … nodes
Please, use a CLI instead: https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli

[Snoopy1234]

Ah ok ist only possible over the CLI?

[Alexey]

With the GUI installer it’s not possible to install more than a one service on the same Windows.

Ok is it possible that anyone can describe it step by step?
I got errormessages from docker like no matching manifest for windows

You should switch the Docker to Linux containers.
