Dear forum members!

I ran a node a few years ago. That computer of mine crashed. Today I tried again. But, when I start the node, the docker container automatically restarts every 12-13 seconds.  
Anyone have any ideas?

(i used the offical node setup tutorial [Storage Node | Storj Docs](https://docs.storj.io/node/setup/cli/storage-node/))

Os: VM Ubuntu 20.04

can you provide logs from node, may be there you can find reason  
you use VM on some server or in windows?

you can use the docker logs command to get the last 100 lines:

`sudo docker logs -f --tail 100 storagenode`

Is this a completely new node with a clean storage folder? Or are you trying to resurrect the node you used previously?

New machine, new idenity, clear storage.  
Still my ip (is static) and email address.  
MAYBE is solved the first problem. Its was a wrong identity path.  
2. problem is a port forwarding in pfSense… My firewall shows passing the communication, but storj dashboard still “missconfigured”

may be you forgot for port forward, or firewall on proximo?  
at same time [Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router](https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/)  
show that your port is open.

but 87.97.60.100:28967 using QUIC this show that your UDP port is not set.
