Setup 2nd node on Synology

Hi community,

I have been operating a node on my Synology, using docker, successfully for the last few months. However since the disk it is using will get full in the next 2-3 months (if ingress keeps the same), I started setting up a new node on a second disk.

However I have an issue with the ports used. Even though I changed the ports in my config.yaml I get the message that 14002 is already used.

2025-10-10T09:58:48Z ERROR failure during run {“Process”: “storagenode”, “error”: “Failed to create storage node peer: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:14002: bind: address already in use”, “errorVerbose”: “Failed to create storage node peer: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:14002: bind: address already in use\n\tmain.cmdRun:86\n\tmain.newRunCmd.func1:33\n\tstorj.io/common/process.cleanup.func1.2:388\n\tstorj.io/common/process.cleanup.func1:406\n\tgithub.com/spf13/cobra.(*Command).execute:985\n\tgithub.com/spf13/cobra.(*Command).ExecuteC:1117\n\tgithub.com/spf13/cobra.(*Command).Execute:1041\n\tstorj.io/common/process.ExecWithCustomOptions:115\n\tmain.main:34\n\truntime.main:283”}

When I stop the first node’s container the new node starts up and runs just fine, getting ingress.

I also tried to forward the ports inside the container (docker run -p 14002/14003 …) but this prevents the node from starting at all.

Any suggestions on what I could do?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Those commands got me running (with a little modification for my setup).
