Failure to create second node on same PC - WIN10PRO

Node Operators troubleshooting
1

Hello everybody,

somehow I am missing something, but what? I have already searched this forum all over the place, my eyes are flickering.
I set second node on the same PC as the main node, with help from Storj Node Toolbox. Everything looks good and the Toolbox shows GREEN - Node service running, but dashboard shows - OFFLINE.
The main node is running since 2 weeks without problems -

Portwarding: FritzBox Port on device 28967-28968 to the outside world 28972-28973 is open, but 28973 is still invisible at portchecktool.com?

How does your config.yaml look for the second/third etc.? node? I am grateful for every tip, because I am already desperate. This attempt with the second node serves as a training so that I don’t destroy my 12 month old node on the other computer by an error.

latest log data without errors:

Is this a second node with Docker on Windows? Is that even possible? I believe I read somewhere it does not work. But I am not sure. :roll_eyes:

3

i hope you used different identities, for example i use paths C:/indentitie, C:/Indentitie1 …
and never use default paths, this makes much diffucult to mess indentities

4

did you made port forwarding for second node also winfows firewall port opened?
what pord did you mensioned after external ip in config? as i see in your log server wait on port 28968
this mean windows firewall must be opened on 28968

5

no, I sorted the identities properly, with the folders with the consecutive numbers

for the ports looks like this:

Hello @crazy_goblin,
Welcome to the forum!

Please, check the Windows Firewall, it should have a rule to allow TCP 28968 too.

perfect, now works

perfect, now works, super thank you

I have already checked the incoming ones, they were ok.
but outgoing traffic was blocked… this is new

8

If you have any outbound rules on your firewall, please add another one - to allow any traffic to any host and port from the IP of your PC with storagenodes or simple remove/disable any outbound rules.

will follow this, I am happy to have learned something again

so I didn’t set anything on the firewall, installed WIN10 3-4 weeks ago etxtra for STORJ.
Main node started without problems

Thanks again, Alexey
And Vadim likewise - for the TOOL development
