there isn’t a section about mounting drives, it goes from Identity to Docker?
the drives are mounted as i can see them on the Pi desktop
drives

Can you go into the drives an see the location? I’ve never used raspbian with a GUI before I’ve always used Ubuntu server for my rpi4

ok so i think i’m almost there but can’t access the node via a browser?

Ok did you put the local ip on start command to access the dashboard? Where the ports are 14002. You should be able to see on rpi4 though.

Also your node is restarting means there’s an error. Look at your logs for your storagenodesudo docker logs -f storagenode

no sure what you mean?

Sudo docker logs -f storagenode
that gives an error…

Sorry my phone likes to use caps.

now I’m lost again…
Like i said, maybe need someone to log in the trouble shoot from here/>

It’s ok I think it’s better you learn so you know what to do to fix it when it breaks.

but now i don’t know what to do next… so am stuck

Hey mate, hook me up with some teamviewer id+password in private chat.
I installed 2x rp4s with docker and storagenode.
I am nowhere near a linux crack, but I think I could help ya getting started.

Well meant: If the node is set up for you now … What do you do in case of an error? I advise you to read and test until you can. Especially now when there is no Storagenode running yet. Otherwise you can’t do anything against a suspension because you simply don’t know what needs to be done.

I installed Portainer for him, so he can now comfortably read the log files…
That’s the beginning of a journey :slight_smile:

This has been a huge help, without this assistance I would have given up…
there seemed a lot wrong with the instructions so would have never got there
All working now thankfully!

Someone should write a simple script that can be pasted into the console and asks you for all your information and then sets the node up automatically.
Something like a single curl line that pulls the install script from the documentation and then executes it. Shouldn’t be too hard to write one for the most common setups like e.g. a Raspberry Pi.

Yeah, cool idea, but that wasn’t the problem here :slight_smile:

The mounting process via FSTAB was missing.
Perhaps we need a dummy proof script which does automate the process from a fresh installed linux up to the deployed docker storagenode.
