It’s not directed at you… and not directed at any party in particular

You don’t have to apologize for putting forth the difficulties you are facing as a newbie. I was a newbie once and have spent (and still do) lot of time on the forum and read up on various articles. I that you were very professional in all of your posts too.

Why does everyone else seem to have some neat graphical interface that I don’t have at all?”

A group of SNOs came together to implement that interface which can be accessed here: Visual Dashboard - Grafana Mon: 24hr Docker log > Telegraf > InfluxDB

The requirement to add a second port option on the docker command line for a local web interface was unclear from the primary instructions. And, if I recall, the actual option was listed in two different ways and one was incorrect

I am a bit lost here as I could clearly see the option to add 127.0.0.1:14002 is already there in the docker run example given in support docs. If I misread what you said please do elaborate it further.

And results in unnecessary downtime… shutting down a running node… changing the options… accidentally deleting data… and many other newbie errors.

This is bound to happen at start as Storj is still in beta. I am guessing you did Burstcoin before and/or GPU/ASIC mining. Nothing is easy peasy at first. You have to find the sweet spot when you overclock and make it all work.

The production release won’t have docker so you won’t have to worry about docker issues

Again, this is important information for node operators who are quite likely opening up their LAN to Internet attacks from unknown sources using unknown attack vectors.

You can always ask by making a post of which ports are supposed to be open for Storj and you will get prompt reply from other SNOs and most importantly support staff who are beyond great.
