I am operating a Synology node and a Windows node. Since Windows Node seems to be difficult for beginners to manage, I decided to convert Windows Node to Qnap. I thought it would be good to get some help before moving it, so I wrote it in order, so if there are any mistakes or anything to add, plea…

[image] Alexey: You must not execute the SETUP step for the worked node! You may destroy it, if any path would be wrong! So, please NEVER run it in the second time for the same identity. Does this mean that you should not use the setup command when moving from windows node → Qnap node? (I tho…

You should use this step only one time, when you generated and signed an identity, and never again.

[image] Alexey: Please, do not use a QNAP App, use a docker CLI instead: CLI Install - Storj Docs or at least using a docker-compose format: I installed the Synology node via SSH and am planning to install Qnap via SSH as well. Since it is the same Linux family, I think it will be similar. (T…

Thank you so much. :cowboy_hat_face:

There is a third-party QNAP App, but it’s not maintained, so it likely will not work. Moreover - it’s a fancy wrapper around docker to run an identity generator and later - the storagenode container, but it’s not a native storagenode app. As far as I remember, it missing the SETUP step, if you setu…

I didn’t know it would take this long to move files. The speed is 15GB per hour. At the current speed, it will take more than 10 days for the data to be completed… :woozy_face:

Yep, this is why we suggest to do it online: How do I migrate my node to a new device? - Storj Docs Make the world your data center And for Windows to Linux migration specifically: Migrating from Windows GUI installation to Docker CLI - Storj Docs …

Should I have done it remotely using rsync instead of robocopy?

Doesn’t matter, they works the same way. The main point - you do not required to be offline during the copy process. But you need to execute it several times to have as less discrepancy, as possible. You may also reduce the allocation below the usage - it will not accept new uploads and reduce the a…

Ah, I understand. Of course, the Windows node is currently online. The move to Qnap is being moved to USB connect separately. I think operating with an external hard drive caused a lot of problems. Next time, I think I will only operate with Docker… [12341]

I wrote the migration order from Windows to QNAP
