Node Offline? Help!

Node Operators troubleshooting
1

It seems my VPS was rebooted overnight, I had to reconnect an 4TiB storage drive for data but then I got everything started up… but the node is offline. Port is open, date is correct to a second. What have I done wrong?

Dashboard says:

Storage Node Dashboard ( Node Version: v0.22.1 )

… and thats all. I’ll try restarting again but I’m stumped for now. You said I can use the dev ports and get status? Port 7778 is open.

Just read the changelog, and saw:

Unvetted nodes might see OFFLINE after a restart for a few minutes because we designed the checkin method in a way that storage nodes will not send a message on every restart (don’t DDOS the satellite)

Oh it’s vetted, with 2 Terabytes stored. 41 minutes offline now and only this in the log:

2019-10-09T06:18:24.808Z        INFO    version running on version v0.22.1
2019-10-09T06:33:24.805Z        INFO    version running on version v0.22.1

So being offline for longer time is normal as long as you confirm port is forwarded.
