Should I stop my node V2 now, when I run V3?

whotheff · August 5, 2019, 7:27pm

I’m running one of the old nodes from a year ago. Should I stop it now when I’m running new node?

Alexey · August 5, 2019, 9:01pm

The v3 is in the alpha stage, only v2 is in the production.
We still have customers on v2, so, please, keep them running if they have any data.

tankmann · September 27, 2019, 7:07pm

Sorry to re-open, but as we’re now in Beta - should we still keep V2 running?
According to storjstat a lot of v2 have been shutdown now, my gut feeling is 2/3 are gone… I’ve kept mine running, storage used went down to 3MB, went up two days ago to 5MB again When can we shut it down?

Alexey · September 27, 2019, 8:16pm

Please, keep it online if you have any data on them.

After the production launch

tankmann · September 27, 2019, 8:18pm

Ok so even 5MB?
But if it would go down to 0MB I can shutdown right?
Reason I’m asking is I wanted to avoid to keep the other raspberry pi3 running now that I moved the V3 to synology.
As the 5MB also lay on the old NAS which I want to sell, I think I’ll move the data to the pi itself (SD card)

Alexey · September 27, 2019, 8:28pm

Yes, please.

Yes.

You can do it.

BrightSilence · September 28, 2019, 8:40am

Or you can move the v2 node to synology as well and free up the pi to do something else. Save some power as well.

tankmann · September 29, 2019, 6:38am

Yeah I was thinking about that as well but wasn’t sure what I need to install etc… didnt want to install too much stuff and no node.js etc. lala… is there a ‘safe’ way where I can cleanly remove it / a synology package or so (I guess not)

BrightSilence · September 29, 2019, 9:19am

I’m running them using this docker image:

oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest

But it seems the old docs are no longer at docs.storj.io and without the instructions it’s going to be hard to migrate.

@Alexey are the old docs still available elsewhere?

Here’s the gist though:

copy your data and config file(s)
pull the image: sudo docker pull oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest
run the container (adjust the port range to only ports you actually use)

sudo docker run --detach \
    --name storj\
    --restart=always \
    -v /path/to/storjdata:/storj \
    -p 4000-4003:4000-4003 \
    oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest

Adjust the config file(s) to match paths inside the container for data and logs
Start the docker daemon: sudo docker exec storj storjshare daemon
Start the node(s): sudo docker exec storj storjshare start --config /storj/config.json
Check status: sudo docker exec storj storjshare status

Please note that starting the container does not start your node. You would have to start the daemon and node with the above commands. I have a script in task scheduler to do this on boot.

sleep 60
docker exec storj storjshare daemon
docker exec storj storjshare start --config /storj/config.json

The sleep is needed to make sure the container is running before you trigger these commands.

Alexey · September 29, 2019, 9:23am

The old docs are partially available on https://support.storj.io/hc/en-us/categories/360001643751-v2-network

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 7:36pm

@BrightSilence question:

copied data and config file
pulled image
ran container
(first didn’t work as 5000 the port I used is the synology webinterface :P)
So I changed it to 4000… when I started the docker it goes in ‘restarting’ all the time and it says ion logfile:
!!! WALLET_ADDRESS must be set to an ERC20 wallet address

My run command is:

sudo docker run --detach \
    --name storj\
    --restart=always \
    -v /volume1/Storj/v2/data \
    -p 4000:4000 \
    oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest

I didnt start daemon / or anything yet, isnt that weird?

Thanks for help.

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 7:49pm

Just found this:

docker run --detach \
    --name mystorjdaemon \
    --restart=always \
    -v /path/to/storjdata:/storj \
    -p 4000-4003:4000-4003 \
    -e WALLET_ADDRESS=your_ERC20_wallet_address \
    [-e DAEMONADDRESS=127.0.0.1] \
    [-e DATADIR=/storj] \
    [-e SHARE_SIZE=1TB] \
    [-e RPCADDRESS=0.0.0.0] \
    [-e RPCPORT=4000] \
    [-e TUNNELING_REQUIRED=TRUE] \
    [-e STORJ_MONITOR_API_KEY=your_storjstat_com_api_key] \
    [-e USE_HOSTNAME_SUFFIX=FALSE] \
    oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest

will check

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 8:32pm

Ah damn it, I cant get it to work… if I add wallet etc. and more it writes an own new config file…

And comes up with a new node:
sudo docker exec storj storjshare status

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────┬──────────┬──────────┬─────────┬───────────────┬─────────┬──────────┬───────────┬──────────────┐

So my problem is… how can I fire up the deamon without any node starting so I can then run the command line with the right directory…

Alexey · September 30, 2019, 8:41pm

Just specify a right directory for the data and config
-v /path/to/data:/data/config/share -v /path/to/config/file.json:/data/config/config.json
and so on.
Don’t forget to change the path to data and logs respectively /data path in the configuration file.
It’s better to use a --mount notation for bindings as well

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 8:45pm

Thanks. Will play with that…
Where can I read which parameters to set again?

The path to data is where these three are in right? Same folder I added into the config.json file already
contracts.db sharddata.kfs tokens.db
The path to config I know as well.

Logs is then
/path/to/logs:/xxx?

Alexey · September 30, 2019, 8:47pm

-v /path/to/logs:/data/config/log

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 8:52pm

Ok thanks. And last one “It’s better to use a --mount notation for bindings as well”
That was this right?
–mount type=bind,source=

But how would it look for the above instead of -v?
–mount type=bind,source="/path/to/logs":/data/config/log

Like that?

sudo docker run --detach \
    --name storj\
    --restart=always \
    -v :/volume1/Storj/v2/ \
    --mount type=bind,source="/path/to/data":/volume1/Storj/v2/data
    --mount type=bind,source="/path/to/config/file.json":/volume1/Storj/v2/configs/config.json
    --mount type=bind,source="/path/to/logs":/volume1/Storj/v2/logs
    -p 4000:4000 \
    oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest

Alexey · September 30, 2019, 8:56pm

Almost

--mount type=bind,src=/path/to/logs,dst=/data/config/log

or long version:

--mount type=bind,source=/path/to/logs,destination=/data/config/log

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 8:59pm

So this could work then:

sudo docker run --detach \
    --name storj\
    --restart=always \
    -v :/volume1/Storj/v2/ \
    --mount type=bind,src=/path/to/data,dst=/volume1/Storj/v2/data \
    --mount type=bind,src=/path/to/config/file.json,dst=/volume1/Storj/v2/configs/config.json \
    --mount type=bind,src=/path/to/logs,dst=/volume1/Storj/v2/logs \
    -p 4000:4000 \
    oreandawe/storjshare-cli:latest

tankmann · September 30, 2019, 9:02pm

“docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type “bind”: bind source path does not exist: /path/to/data.”

Oh man, its so late sorry… or I just exchange path to … with the right path? But I did that … no?
