Installing multinode dashboard with old db

Node Operators

Hello,

I needed to setup my storjnode system from an older backup, where the multinode dashboard wasn’t installed. Beforehand I copied the files from the multinode dashboard. Unfortunately when copying the files back to there original location on the new system, and trying to start, it gives me a “permission denied” is there a way to fix this? I thought if not, it should be possible to reinstall the dashboard, and put the old db back on, so I don’t have to add every single node again? I hope you can help me out.

Thanks in advance.

You need to apply permissions to the restored folder, change the owner to your user and give it rw permissions, something like

sudo chown $(id -u) -R ~/.local/share/storj/multinode
chmod u+rw -R ~/.local/share/storj/multinode
