I installed via portiainer so did not know where

86

In portainer installation is like this:

services:
  mn:
    image: storjlabs/multinode
    container_name: mn
    ports:
      - 15002:15002/tcp
    volumes:
      - /mnt/mn/config:/app/config     
    restart: unless-stopped

Then use the web interface to add your nodes.

87

API key… is that the ident files? or do i have to set that in the config of the node first?

$ docker exec -it storagenode \
    /app/storagenode issue-apikey --log.output stdout \
    --config-dir config --identity-dir identity

taken from: https://hub.docker.com/r/odarriba/storj-multinode-dashboard

EDIT: that did not work…. prop the params where not correct??

EDIT2: figured it: docker exec -it storagenode /app/bin/storagenode info --identity-dir identity --config-dir config

EDIT3: i fill out the box’s and click add, nothing happens… or do it just take a long time? i tried both with public ip and my local network ip and also tried the ip of the docker container

88

In portainer you can open a console inside storagenode container. There you can execute:

bin/storagenode info --config-dir config --identity-dir identity

This will show you ID and API secret.

89

i filled the 4 box’s and clicked add node….

nothing happens, see edit 3 above

90

and now it worked…. odd

91

Q. is it normal that multinode dashboard shows more than one wallet even thou the same is used for all nodes?

92

If some are different, then you used a different wallet on one or several your nodes. If they are the same, then yes. This is a current design. The work on the multinode dashboard has stopped, and it has bugs.
You may provide a pull request with the fix or submit a bug or a feature request there, but please check, that it’s not submitted yet:

93

just asking as i copy+paste from the first node, so i know they are the same

assumes i can program, sadly i cant

will do

EDIT: multinode wallet listing not using up whitespace correctly · Issue #6749 · storj/storj · GitHub

94

You may also check the dashboard with Ctrl-F.

95

that just opens search box… also tried ctrl+r and shift+f5

still got 2 wallet address’s that are the same

96

Yes, that’s what I mean, use the search function to make sure they are exactly the same.
This list shows wallets from all nodes, it doesn’t group them or makes unique. In some cases it may be useful, if some nodes have a different wallet, so you may easily figure out which one.

they are the same, that is the benefit of copy+paste, they dont change

98

may be some space in end or beginning difference, end of line or something not trivial.

99

was the first thing i checked, all 4 nodes have the same wallet, no space in the beginning or end

100

so anyone knows why i get 2 wallets listed in the multi node dashboard when only 1 address is used for all 4 nodes? and yes its the same pasted from notepad, no space before and after

and one that has been discussed to death, but if an operator only have 1 IP, are there any benefit of having more than one node? of course if one goes down only data on that node is lost and you would have to start over with only that one…. but what about the earnings? will they just be distributed evenly among the nodes behind the ip ?

101

More or less yes. There might be a small advantage from distributed disk io but I don’t think it is worth the additional cost.

102

did you checked End of lines?
open files in nodepad++ and turn on that it show end of lines, normal nodepade not show them.
