Identity not found

Hello together,

am currently and quickly trying to run a node. But I am receiving the docker error message that the Path is not existing:

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 --name STORJ-01 storjlabs/storagenode:latest -e WALLET=“Wallet” -e EMAIL=“Email” -e STORAGE=“8TB” --user root:root --mount type=bind,source=“/mnt/3GG84812/STORJ-01/Identity/storagenode”,destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source=“/mnt/3GG84812/STORJ-01-Daten”,destination=/app/config

The dir /mnt/3GG84812 is the HDD with its serial number. The STORJ-01 and 01-Daten does exist behind it, but for some reason the STORJ docker is throwing the weird error message:

“file or directory not found: open identity/identity.cert: no such file or directory”

If you do an lsblk what does it return?

they are mounted, also in the fstab:

I have to go to the eye doctor because I can’t see…

The numbers do fit. I just put some random numbers in there for personal safety.

Edit: I didn’t run the SETUP on this machine, it was done on an unRAID. Would this change anything? The dir does exist also with an / at the end I’m getting the same error message.

Could you please show result of the command

ls -l /mnt/3GG84812/STORJ-01/Identity/storagenode

Please note - Linux is case-sensitive.

It seems fine, really dunno what is going on.

Since it belongs to root, you need either use sudo and remove --user root:root, or finish docker configuration, change the owner to your user and use option --user $(id -u):$(id -g) in your docker commands without sudo.

The top-Folders, named after the serial nos are not at root:

Maybe I should change owner and group to root (0)? Would this be good?

Dont want to run as user, always as root.

Am getting also the error message when trying to change:

You need to use

sudo chown root:root -R /mnt/3GG84812

I got the top folder changed to root:root. But still getting the same error message.

I’m also getting it not run with user ads. Change the top folder to user ads and then the identity and it is still the same error message. Also did the steps to user docker with user and no sudo.

So I’m back to unRAID from Ubuntu-Server.

Having the following summary:

The Drives are mounted with their serial number in /mnt/Serial-No automatically per fstab.

It works fine and all dirs are set up correctly. The identity dir can be found via ls or with WinSCP.

The main dir /mnt/serial-no is with the owner 99:100 somehow, which is coming from old unRAID-Setup. When I changed it to root:root it didn’t bring a difference and the identity couldn’t be found.

I also completed Docker Engine post-installation steps and tried to run it with a user. Also after I changed the identity owner and the top dir to the user it didn’t run and has shown the same error message of not found identity.

Please make sure that your docker run command have only straight quotes like " but not curly ones like or , also copy the path from the terminal (on case if they contain not ASCII characters).
Also please check the config.yaml in the /mnt/3GG84812/STORJ-01-Daten, it should not have modifications in paths, so it should look like:

The last error here

suggest that you have a syntax error somewhere in your docker run command, could you please show it in whole, but mask private information?
Please provide it here between two new lines with three backticks like this:

```
here is docker run
```

I have a feeling that you trying to provide options like -e ADDRESS=... after the image name, not before.

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 --name STORJ-01 storjlabs/storagenode:latest -e WALLET=“Wallet” -e EMAIL=“Email” -e ADDRESS=“Eaddress” -e STORAGE=“8TB” --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --net=container:netcontainer --mount type=bind,source=“/mnt/4…H/STORJ-01/Identity/storagenode/”,destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source=“/mnt/4…H/STORJ-01-Daten/”,destination=/app/config

Yes the Docker name is kinda more at the beginning. Does it matter and should it be at the end?

The order is very important, see

docker run --help

So, it should be

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 \
--name STORJ-01 \
-e WALLET="Wallet" \
-e EMAIL="Email" \
-e ADDRESS="Eaddress" \
-e STORAGE="8TB" \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
--net=container:netcontainer \
--mount type=bind,source="/mnt/4…H/STORJ-01/Identity/storagenode/",destination=/app/identity \
--mount type=bind,source="/mnt/4…H/STORJ-01-Daten/",destination=/app/config \
storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Thank you very much again Alexey! That was the solution. The following docker run is working:

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300
–name STORJ-N
-e WALLET=“Wallet”
-e EMAIL=“Email”
-e ADDRESS=“Eaddress”
-e STORAGE=“9TB”
–user $(id -u):$(id -g)
–net=container:container-N
–mount type=bind,source=“/mnt/4…H/STORJ-N/Identity/storagenode/”,destination=/app/identity
–mount type=bind,source=“/mnt/4…H/STORJ-N-Daten/”,destination=/app/config
storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Unfortunately I had problems with the brackets in form of backslashes. Can you provide how to use these \ correctly? I had to put the run-command into one line but it looks not convenient in the notepad.

I had also the issue, that two containers were running from the systemstart. Is it possible to turn this off? And can the run-commands, multiple, because there are also STORJ-Exporter-Dockers for the Grafana-Dashboard running, been put into one greater-docker-run-command / file?

If you copy it to notepad, you can actually remove back slashes, it will be in one line.
However I would like to suggest to use Notepad++ instead - it’s code-friendly unlike usual Notepad, but well.

You can use something like docker-compose, see
