As I’m reaching 50% of my 4.5 TB storage space, I want to start preparing by reading up on hosting a second node on my raspberry pi 4, something I understand it should be able to handle. As I don’t want to get in the way of my current node, I want some “stupid” questions out of the way, some of you …

[image] Buurable: Additionaly I want to add a node on another node on different 8TB. But I’m running into issue adding the second node on the same machine. Sorry, I’m still confused. Haha. Can you outline somehow shortly what you want to do?

@Vadim yes it’s the 4GB @Bivvo hahaha sorry, ok. Let me try again. I had a setup with only one 5TB hdd that’s at 75%. I want to do two things. 1. Phase out the 5TB drive. And migrate that node into an 8TB hdd. That’s node 1. And I got that under control. Now i have another 8TB hdd laying around. …

Beter to spread it to other raspberry pi, because when you get first node full, and second, CPU will be problem to handle all this. Also you can make third one with first 5tb disk.

[image] Buurable: address pointing to publicip:28967 It should be publicip:28968, right? [image] Vadim: Beter to spread it to other raspberry pi, because when you get first node full, and second, CPU will be problem to handle all this It’s probably better, but I wouldn’t be surprised …

[image] Pac: It should be publicip:28968 , right? I think you’re right. I’ve checked with the instructions about port-forwarding, and thought this was the container pointing to 28967. But I now realize that’s just a default setting I only have to cover wither the -p settings. [image] Pac: …

Fixed it! Got my second node running. Made a few mistakes, not super sure yet. But there was a folder permission issue of the new storagenode folder. Maybe b/c my first setup code wasn’t good and I had to redo that step a few times. I now moved the folder to a .bak version. And all went as expected…

[image] Buurable: Fixed it! Got my second node running. YAY :partying_face: great to hear

Now let’s see if the RPiB4 can handle two 8TB nodes hahaha. I can always migrate one to another machine if this will become an issue. But I think for this stage it’s allright - as it will be a long time before any of the two will be fully used. I will setup some more extensive monitoring for this. T…

Quietly sits here and runs 2x full 1.7TB nodes and 1x 7TB node at 1.3TB used on a single RPi3… :wink:

@Craig Hahaha. That’s what I mean!
