Don’t worry I am with you. I am also sharing just a few GB. ---

How can we set this up using Docker images? Is there any tag we should use or just keep using `latest`? ---

1. Create New identity. **You don’t need auth token to sign it**. For windows it would be > ./identity.exe create testnode `testnode` will be name of the folder and it can be anything. In this way it won’t mix up with your mainnet folder. 1. Follow [documentation](https://docs.storj.io/node/resources/faq/how-to-add-an-additional-drive#general-rules-to-run-multiple-nodes-in-the-same-network) for setting up second node. 2. Run the initial docker command to setup files/folders. ```auto docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" --mount type=bind,source="",destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source="",destination=/app/config --name storjlabs/storagenode:latest ``` 1. After `config.yaml` is created from setup 3. Add the 3 lines in the `config.yaml` file ```auto # if true, uses peer ca whitelist checking server.use-peer-ca-whitelist: false # list of trust sources storage2.trust.sources: 1GGZktUwmMKTwTWNcmGnFJ3n7rjE58QnNcRp98Y23MmbDnVoiU@satellite.qa.storj.io:7777 # server address to check its version against version.server-address: https://version.qa.storj.io ``` 1. The `docker run` command is the same. ```auto docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 -p 14003:14002 -p 28968:28967/tcp -p 28968:28967/udp -e WALLET="ETH address" -e EMAIL="your email" -e ADDRESS="DDNS:28968" -e STORAGE="1TB" --mount type=bind,source="",destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source="",destination=/app/config --name storjlabs/storagenode:latest ``` Remember to replace `` with your name for the container. ---

Up & running! I have received zero parts by now, but it’s online 😂 My main question is if we are going to have a separate Docker tag to be able to be up to date with testing releases 🤔 ---

Dont expect much usage for most of the time. As mentioned it is just a testnet 🙂 ---

Last few hours we played around with the version control service. We enabled automatic deployment. One thing that we noticed is that the default update interval is 15 minutes. I have reduced it on my node to 5 minutes like so: > [@littleskunk](#): > > ```auto > # Interval to check the version > version.check-interval: 5m0s > > ``` ---

Should the test nodes be updated as soon as new version is deployed or does it follow rolling updates like mainnet ? ---

Is someone uploading close to 10GB every night? My grafana dashboard indicates that. No it is not a problem. I just try to understand it in order to fine tune my grafana alerts. ---

> [@littleskunk](#): > > Is someone uploading close to 10GB every night? My grafana dashboard indicates that. It turns out it was our infrastructure team. They are working on a backup strategy for the satellite DB. The idea is to upload the backup of one satellite into the storj network. For the first tests they are using the QA satellite. That explains it.
