Please provide native support for Linux community, and inform about estimated time of announcing this feature. Btw I have Arch Linux. [g6d9hhz9rrx11]

[image] [Tech Preview] Linux Storage Node & Updater STORJLINGS We now have a Linux storage node and updater available. The Linux installer and the new docker container are not yet available. That means for now we have to create the required services manually. If you don’t …

it’s usually a week after the windows release, which was like 3-4 days ago so the linux docker v1.17.4 should be rolled out around the 1st dec and then it takes like a maybe 72 hour for all nodes to auto update i believe… approximate numbers. you can track the docker version and last release here …

I know that Docker is avaliable. I asked about native linux application On this page: [Screenshot from 2020-11-27 15-05-33] Storage Node Registration We pay Node Operators for their unused storage and bandwidth, making decentralized storage possible for Tardigrade.io customers …

kinda forgot about that… thought you was talking about the new docker storagenode image release date, it’s the usual question :smiley: that’s interesting, might be useful not sure tho… kinda depends on which container tech that’s better or how many nodes one plans to run… but i suppose there are to…

Running with the binary is much easier then one might think, It can literally run on anything, I have been running it now for a month it updated twice on its own with no issues. Docker always can have issues running if you update the OS and end up bricking something.

so could one run multiple storagenodes on the same machine when using the binary… i mean without the containers or vm’s. all software will have bugs. issues and oversights. might not be there now, but it will come eventually… ofc the same is true for docker and the binary should have less complex…

Yes you can run more then one node with binary you would need to setup a service for each node though. But it wont have any overhead like running though a container though.

As a side note, I hope there will be a clearly documented migration path from docker to the binary ^^ If we have to. Maybe we’ll be able to carry on using docker… ?

I for one am more happy with using docker than the native binary. I moved to using as many docker containers as possible and as little native binaries as possible because it makes it easier for me to maintain and reinstall on a new installation.

i doubt they will remove docker support, for the reasons that kevink states below. docker is a great solution for those without a hypervisor and it’s basically zero setup, even if the docker images will just be some lets say debian server OS container with the binary installed… which is most likely…

The plan is to implement an updater for docker version too. It would be running alongside with storagenode in the same container. So, it would be able to update the storagenode and itself. You will not need to migrate if you do not want to.

ETA for Linux Nodes?

Node Operators
