Create an Identity

Greetings to all, I am Italian and I struggle with English … I tried to create my identity several times but I never managed to get the folder with 6, mine always contains 4 files, what can I do Now ??

Hello @gigetto65,
Welcome to the forum!

What the output of the authorization command?

C:\Users\LENOVO X201>identity_windows_amd64.exe create storagenode
2019-07-23T11:19:04.535+0200 ERROR Failed to do periodic version check: %!(EXTRA *url.Error=Get : unsupported protocol scheme “”)

Please, authorize it with an authorization token from the invitation email and post result (the token itself you can hide): https://documentation.storj.io/setup/identity#sign-the-identity

I’m experiencing what appears to be a similar problem with signing the identity but using a linux binary:

$ ./identity_linux_amd64 authorize storagenode <my token was here>
2019-07-24T19:46:47.101+0200	ERROR	Failed to do periodic version check: Get : unsupported protocol scheme ""

The version error is not a problem, did it show anything else in the response?

nope and it didn’t sign the identity either

don’t know if this will help:

where can I find older versions of the binary? is there anyway to browse the artifacts you publish on https://storj-v3-alpha-builds.storage.googleapis.com/ ?

let me know if you need any more info

We updated documentation, please, check the link above

it worked, thanks @Alexey!

Hi everyone, I was wrong of course … now everything is ok. I hope shortly to start my node with 2 disks for a total of 2TB
