Been searching for answers on various questions, thus far to little avail, i find many of the answers on the forum but sadly even the most basic of details can take near hours or more to find. isn’t there any public resource for customizing node’s? i find this when searching for a wiki […

As a beginner SNO, but a seasoned Linux user, I do agree that there is very little documentation on how things work on a technical level. For example from my own experience the documentation should explicitly state that the storage node measures disk space by querying /app/config, or why it is not s…

Cron command for live appending logs, with date stamp and without redirecting logs from the storagenode container. Wanted to keep this simple, which i didn’t, but now it works kinda great… This will keep a 1min delayed live log saved, without having to redirect your docker log files and thus you c…

A guide for adding a second node to new HDD on same Linux host by Stuberman [image] A guide for adding a second node to new HDD on same Linux host I read through many of the posts that ask about issues with second nodes, but I wanted to verify each step and ensure it was clear to me and others …

[image] How to move DB’s to SSD on Docker How to move DB’s to SSD on Docker Before you beginning, please make sure that your SSD has good endurance (MLC is preferred), I personally recommend using SSD mirror. look into the official documentation and make sure that you are using –mount type=bi…

this thread is going to my bookmarks tab. You´ve compiled very useful knowledge in here that I´m sure I will revisit in a few weeks (I need to go down the Linux road yet) maybe is a good idea to just put here useful things that anybody learn. For some will be maybe obvious stuff, or yet spoken in ot…

High Availability Considerations for SNO’s I’m sure all SNO’s strive for their storagenodes to have the best uptime possible, which can be quite a challenge working on a limited budget with limit hardware, these are some of the considerations, implementations and compromises i’ve made in the setup …

I like the depth and thought going into your notes, there are good ideas and comments in the post. I prefer to take a risk based approach since one size does not fill all and as you noted your situation does not have a power problem. I think the first thing any SNO should consider is surge suppres…

[image] stuberman: The second most important consideration, in my mind due to the very high uptime requirements for Storj, is a continuous duty HDD since this is the heart of Storj and you are demanding 24x7 continuous use. My preference is the Western Digital HC5xx series data center drives (Ul…

Buying those external HDD’s has been a great trick to get cheap drives. But it’s always a gamble to see what you get. And these days that gamble includes a very good chance of getting an SMR drive. Which I don’t even blame them for as USB drives aren’t meant for 24/7 use anyway. It’s actually a usag…

[image] BrightSilence: a very good chance of getting an SMR drive not with WD Mybooks. Those are known to contain Ultrastar HE drives and WD doesn’t sell any SMR drive with sizes >=8TB. But generally I agree and would advise against buying external drives unless you know exactly what model t…
