These are my personal install instructions. They are written to speed up setting up new nodes. Not in any way official docs. [https://config.storagenode.uk/manual-linux-binary-install.html](https://config.storagenode.uk/manual-linux-binary-install.html) ---

You need either add your user to the `docker` group (see [Post-installation steps for Linux | Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user)) or execute docker commands with `sudo` ---

This error mean that you have container running. Please, stop and remove a previous one: ```auto sudo docker stop storagenode sudo docker rm storagenode ``` Then run it back with all your parameters include changed ones. If you had followed the official documentation, you could have completed the setup a few days ago (it’s a step-by-step guide): [Introduction - Node Operator](https://docs.storj.io/node/), [CLI Install - Node Operator](https://docs.storj.io/node/setup/cli) in particular. ---

As I thought, the `/dev/sdb1` is not mounted. So it even could be not formatted. I would recommend to mount it first: [How do I setup static mount via /etc/fstab for Linux? - Node Operator](https://docs.storj.io/node/resources/faq/linux-static-mount) Perhaps you would need to format it, if you didn’t before. You can Google how to format drives or take a look on article for Raspberry Pi: [Install storagenode on Raspberry Pi3 or higher – Storj](https://support.storj.io/hc/en-us/articles/360026612332-Install-storagenode-on-Raspberry-Pi3-or-higher) ---
