I cannot get my second node on a different computer on the same network with the same external IP to work. I read everything here over and over. The one thing I did not do was to change the name to storagenode2 since that node is on a different computer. Both ports 28967 & 28968 are open. Watchdog upgrades the node and is now on v0.29.3. No matter how long I wait my Linux dashboard says Last Contact: OFFLINE.

25

Do you forward port 28968 to the second PC? What is your docker command on that PC?

26

make sure your second start command has -p 28968:28967

27

I had to permit port on linux firewall, when I was starting my linux node…just try it…

28

is there a way to verify in fact, that more than 1 node is under same ip /24 familly and treated as one.?

29

Try a port scan. But check your ISP’s terms and conditions regarding port scans

30

If both of your addresses have three identical numbers divided by dots - they are in the same subnet /24
for example:

  • xxx.yyy.zzz.kkk
  • xxx.yyy.zzz.mmm

both in the same subnet /24

31

thanks,a nd any way to know if someone else in the world is in same /24 fammily?

33

I tried it and it didn’t work, if I did it right.

34

Same IP, different computer:
sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 28968:28967
-p 127.0.0.1:14002:14002
-e WALLET=“0x20f53ce559324B7859b34b5EeD66df3a9886E2E2”
-e EMAIL="me@gmail.com"
-e ADDRESS=“47.25.74.230:28967”
-e BANDWIDTH=“25TB”
-e STORAGE=“1.5TB”
–mount type=bind,source="/home/thaistar/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode",destination=/app/identity
–mount type=bind,source="/home/thaistar/.local/share/storj/storage",destination=/app/config
–name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:beta

Should it be???
-e ADDRESS=“47.25.74.230:28967”
or
-e ADDRESS=“47.25.74.230:28968”

38

This, if this is your 2nd node behind the same IP. If it’s the only one, then … -p 28967:28967 ... -e ADDRESS=“47.25.74.230:28967”
Whatever you do, the first port in -p 28968:28967 has to match the external port in -e ADDRESS=“47.25.74.230:28968”`

Don’t forget to set up the right port forwarding in your router.

39

Ok, this statement is not entirely true. It depends on the port forwarding in you router.

How to run multiple nodes on different HDD (on same or different PC) ?

41

Hello Cryptomike,
please don’t get me wrong, but please use the search function.
Just search after “multiple-nodes” and you get a long list. I am sure you’ll find the right topic, because that question has often been asked.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Bad architecture is making people ask questions that make sense, hoping that something so logical would be a feature.
While this isn’t changed, you can have 100 FAQs and you will still have people asking for it.

I don’t think that re-implementation of RAID or other OS-related tasks will indicate a good architecture or portability.
