Here you go hopefully i did it correct
62

Looks like you missed the left quote, it should be

-e ADDRESS="Removed:28967"
63

so i need to leave the quotes i removed them

64

You need it in the command when you execute it.
In your history (I removed the one remained real address in your post) all your ADDRESS parameters have missed a left quote -e ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:28967"

65

what about the other quotes for hdd capacity etc …put them all back?

66

Yes, replace only values between quotes. Or remove all quotes completely. One missed without a pair will wait when you put it and will not execute a command. It will show something like

mario@mario-System-Product-Name~$ docker run ... -e ADDRESS=redacted:28967" ...

by the way how do you save your identity to a flash drive ?

74

Not needed. I store identity on the drive with data. They useful only together. Either identity without data or data without identity are useless, you will be forced to start from scratch.
The backup of the identity could be useful only if disk start to die but corrupted only identity (literally 6 small files, less than a few kb is size)

75

ok i understand…but it wont be an issue if i decide to install and use a bigger drive ?

76

Then you can either migrate this one to the bigger one (and clean the old one) or just run a second node with a new identity on the next free ports. Do not copy identity for the second node, generate a new one.
To be able to do so on the same PC you can specify a new name, for example

identity create storagenode2

It will create a new identity in /home/mario/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode2

77

wow thats cool i didnt think that i could have have more than one node running at the same time per machine

78

Yes, you can. Use different port, identities and drives.
FYI - all nodes behind the same /24 subnet of public IPs treated as a one node for uploads and as a different ones for downloads and audits. So, adding more nodes in the same subnet will not increase ingress traffic.

79

ok thats fine …i just checked my node and it says offline …it says last seen 6+ hrs is there any thing i can do to check why?

apparently restarting brought it back up …but is that normal?

80

You can check your logs (if you didn’t remove the container): https://docs.storj.io/node/resources/faq/check-logs
To keep logs even when container is removed, you can redirect logs to the file: How do I redirect my logs to a file? - Node Operator

Usually node could going offline, if your external (or internal) address is changed.
To protect your node from local IP change you can assign a static local IP either via router or on PC itself.
To protect from external address change you can register DDNS hostname and use it instead of public IP in docker run command: Port Forwarding - Node Operator
