The only way to stop you node as of now is: docker stop -t 300 storagenode
OR for GUI(run powershell as admin): Stop-Service storagenode

Graceful exit does not FULLY yet implemented.

# Storage Node Graceful Exit Design Document


## Overview

When a Storage Node wants to leave the network but does not want to lose their escrow we need to have a mechanism for them to exit the network “gracefully”.

This process including the Storage nodes transferring their pieces to other nodes so that the satellite does not have to repair those pieces because of a node exiting abruptly. The process of a Storage Node exiting gracefully including that node requesting a list of Storage Nodes to send their pieces to and updating the satellite with what nodes are now storing those pieces. Graceful Exit for Storage Nodes is beneficially for both the Storage Node and satellite because the storage node receives their escrow and the satellite saves money from not having to repair files.


## Goals

- Give Storage Nodes a mechanism to leave the network while receiving their escrows, and reduce repair caused by node churn on satellites. 


## Non Goals

- Sending the storage nodes escrows.
	- The sending of tokens will happen through our normal token payment process.

Why do you want to quit Storj ?

Alexey · November 16, 2019, 10:21am

With those commands you will abruptly exit the network with loosing escrow.
This is not a graceful exit.

The graceful exit is not available yet.

I will only move server

nerdatwork · November 16, 2019, 6:30pm

Then the usage of term “graceful exit” is wrong. You should refer this since you want to move to another server.

PS: Graceful exit is when you want to leave Storj.

I would add to the description that moving host does not require you to do a graceful exit and then put a link to what it is for clarification (because I suspect many users will think it must be done).

It’s very much clear moving != leaving/exiting
