Guide to install Storj on synology

peem · April 1, 2021, 7:48am

In “docker run…”
you have
-p 127.0.0.1:14002:14002 (view only at the server)
or
-p 14002:14002 (view on LAN)

dears
will be there someone, who will help noob with stepbystep?

what I’ve done:

i’ve compatibile Synology with docker
installed docker from offcicial packages
created shared folder Storj on Volume2 - the shared folder Docker already existed (probably cause I’ve choosen Install volume during Docker install to Volume2)
generated token
on Windows machine went through Identity
copy address from Myetehrwallet

but next? SSH to Synology, ok and?

simply copy *.key files (all files)? where? As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve

/volume2/Storj (empty)
/volume2/docker (empty)

I’ve created:
storjlabs-storagenode1

with mounted folder Storj to /volume2/Storj and docker to /volume2/Docker
in environment I’ll enter mail address, wallet, storage and set Setup to true.

than run? and wait for……? later create storjlabs-storagenode2 with the same, just „setup false“?

Thanks, Zdeněk

Hello,
Just read this and dont use docker gui on synology and create container using command on SSH

https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli/storage-node

synology is linux but dont do this
“Linux Users: You must static mount via /etc/fstab.”

If you created and signed identity on windows just copy to synology

thx Kryštof
will be easier to continue in czech, but I guess it’s against to forum rules …

anyway, I’ve red it, of course, but it’s not clear. Ok, I can delete via GUI created container, no problem. Just to verify, steps 1-5 I did right, ok?

both folders are empty, is it ok?

this step
docker pull storjlabs/storagenode:latest
is not needed, cause it was done via gui of Synology, right? (= installing latest version of Docker). I can run it again, but if there is no newer version, it will do “nothing”

than
docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \ --mount type=bind,source="<identity-dir>",destination=/app/identity \ --mount type=bind,source="<storage-dir>",destination=/app/config \ --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest
I don’t see the relation between + vs /volume2/docker + /volume2/Storj shared folders. And the syntax is - i mean the stting between quotation marks should be /volume2/docker or ./volume2/docker or /volume2/docker/?

and where exactly should be copied files generated by Windows machine? to and directly to root? Will you be so nice and post ls of yours folders?

thank you very much, Zdeněk

You can do it, just answer with split (it will create a new thread).

For easy filtering you can tag your topic with v-češtině tag or similar. Then any who can speak on Czech will be able to filter such topics.
Or moderators can split it later

It is still needed.

Create another dir /volume2/Storj/identity and copy all files of signed identity to there.
You can use scp command for that:

scp -r %AppData%\Identity\storagenode\*.* admin@synology-IP:/volume2/Storj/identity/

if you use a PowerShell, then replace %AppData% to $env:AppData. You need to use IP of your Synology instead of synology-IP in my example.

baz1nga:

docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
  --mount type=bind,source="<identity-dir>",destination=/app/identity \
  --mount type=bind,source="<storage-dir>",destination=/app/config \
  --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

You need to replace "<storage-dir>" to /volume2/Storj and "<identity-dir>" to /volume2/Storj/identity

The usual docker run must use the same paths, the -e SETUP="true" must be removed, all other parameters should be specified as well: Storage Node - Storj Docs

baz1nga · April 6, 2021, 4:38am

baz1nga:

docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
  --mount type=bind,source="<identity-dir>",destination=/app/identity \
  --mount type=bind,source="<storage-dir>",destination=/app/config \
  --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Thanks @Alexey docker is running. But, on firewall (internet hw fw) I’ve allowed port 28967 forward to Synology. 14002 is not necesary for me. But local_ip:14002 doesn’t work - must be somehow allowed on fw of Synology? or there must by another port forward on synolgy statiton do Docker?

thanks

baz1nga · April 6, 2021, 4:41am

this I get by ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 8963acb030b4 storjlabs/storagenode:latest "/entrypoint" 32 seconds ago Up 28 seconds 127.0.0.1:14002->14002/tcp, 0.0.0.0:28967->28967/tcp storagenode

Alexey · April 6, 2021, 5:06am

You can use a remote connection to the dashboard: How to remote access the web dashboard - Storj
Or you can remove 127.0.0.1 from the -p 127.0.0.1:14002:14002 option to become -p 14002:14002, it will allow to connect from any device in your local network. It’s less secure than the first option.
To change any option you need to stop and remove the container:

docker stop -t 300 storagenode
docker rm storagenode

Then run it back with all your parameters include changed ones.

Bonzi777 · April 16, 2021, 1:52am

Thanks. I just didn’t know how to stop the server. I got this from another post:

docker stop -t 300 storagenode
docker rm storagenode

Thank you!

Guys probably a simple one for you all… but I am trying to create a storj docker node on my synology. I am using this config

sudo docker run -d --restart always --stop-timeout 300
-p 28970:28967
-p 14002:14002
-e WALLET=“0x49ca955fd60D0FA9f0A6a4910d26fFaF5772BD1E”
-e EMAIL="takenmyemailaddressout@gmail.com"
-e ADDRESS=“tootie.duckdns.org:28970”
-e STORAGE=“10TB”
–log-opt max-size=50m
–log-opt max-file=10
–user $(id -u):$(id -g)
–mount type=bind,source=/volume1/Storj/Identity,destination=/app/identity
–mount type=bind,source=/volume1/Storj/StorjData,destination=/app/config
–name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

The issue is the mounting of the drive… it seems that the share is not allowing docker from creating folders with in the /volume1/Storj/StorjData folder.

Here are the logs below

Did you run the setup step?

sudo docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
    --mount type=bind,source="/volume1/Storj/Identity",destination=/app/identity \
    --mount type=bind,source="/volume1/Storj/StorjData",destination=/app/config \
    --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

nommiiss · June 20, 2022, 12:39pm

I think i have found a new love in my life and their name is BrightSilence… thanks so much for the quick reply…

I ran that setup followed by the you suggested BrightSilence followed by the storj setup and that now worked

Thanks again!
