I’m not able to get my node online for some reason. It had been working fine so I’m not sure what changed.

Do you see orders.db file on your disk ?

Would that be on the storage disk or in the docker container.

If the storage disk, I do see orders.db in storage/storage/

4

is your docker configured with db storage in a different location? (app/dbs in a different place, like a ssd)?

if it’s in the regular storage folder… is the folder okay? do you and storj have read/write permission and is it out of space?

5

Check if its malformed

6

I have the storj docker running on an SSD and the storage disk is seperate.

7

so probably the docker command/compose has the wrong path,
or the config.yaml doesn’t have storage2.database-dir: set,
or something happened in the SSD location and it’s not there or not writeable any more (also full disk, etc).

Hello @Pandemic,
Welcome back!

This is mean either the path to the storage location is incorrect (it usually shouldn’t include the /storage subfolder as a last element in the path), or you moved databases here, but not set

to that location.

Could you please show a content of the parent folder of the /storage/storage sub path?
Please use ls -l for that location.
Also please show the content of the first storage subfolder and the second.
