Setting up storj in raspberry pi 4

Node Operators
1

Hello!

new here, got recently a raspberry pi 4, 2TB external HDD and would like to start sharing space :slight_smile: but only found this article as of now: https://support.storj.io/hc/en-us/articles/360026612332-Install-storagenode-on-Raspberry-Pi3

would this be applicable to PI4 as well?

thanks :slight_smile:

I found another guide.

I followed the link that you shared for my rpi 4.

  1. I think I didn’t get this works (cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1 swapaccount=1).
  2. I created the node Identity on a windows PC. Mainly because the identity that I created on rpi only has the difficulty of 30 which doesn’t meet the requirement of 36.

It is better to go through the official documentation as it is more complete.

Thank you. I was planning to install Ubuntu on Raspberry but just noticed the instructions are for Raspbian Stretch lite. Are there any instructions out there for Ubuntu?

Thanks!

The official documentation @zeyacry linked above (https://documentation.storj.io/) should work for setting up your storage node on Ubuntu. Most of the steps will be the same across different operating systems.

By using fstab for static mounting, I always run to emegency mode and root account gets locked, exactly the issue mentioned here Raspberry Pi Boot Issue - Root account locked!.
Is there any other way to static mount? @zeyacry @dsanchez

Usually this happens when the sd card is going bad or corrupt, I moved to ssds and i have seen any issues since on my rpi 4s.
