Hello @heypete ,
You can also add it to the dependency for the docker service , so no need any script.
Moreover, you likely might be able to run the node directly on NAS, but without docker (you can also configure the storagenode-updater service as well):
Following the [Tech Preview] post below, here’s my method for standing up the Linux-native storagenode and storagenode-updater services on Ubuntu 20.04.
Storj Documentation .
Install Ubuntu 20.04 server.
Set up a static IP and configure port forwarding
Set up an appropriate storage medium and mount to /mnt/storagenode.
Create a storj-storagenode system user: adduser --system --group --home /mnt/storagenode --no-create-home storj-stora…
Or use podman:
Oh, by the way, you can install podman and run your containers rootless in the userspace. Podman will even generate the service wrappers for you—one less thing to need to do manyally—and take care of auto-updating when the image changes (I.e. no need for watchtower, root access, installing docker, and what not).
This approach maybe easier to adapt since STORJ already provides docker images. I’ve posted summary of how to run docker containers (different ones, but process is the same for storj) r…
