A guide for adding a second node to new HDD on same Linux host
by Stuberman

@stuberman

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 that want step by step guidance. Please correct any mistakes or vagueness I may have.

1. Choose additional new Internet port (28968) and add to port forwarding rules on firewall/router
2. Use existing wallet address
3. Request new authentication token (using same email address)
4. Install new HDD on system
5. Create new fstab entry see https://documentation.storj.io/resources/faq/linux-static-mount
6. Create new identity - [ identity create storagenode2 ] (where ‘2’ represents a new unique node name)
7. Authorize new identity - [ identity authorize storagenode2 auth_token ]
8. Verify new identities
   grep -c BEGIN ~/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode2/ca.cert [expect response ‘2’]
   grep -c BEGIN ~/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode2/identity.cert [and expect response ‘3’]
9. No need to install Docker - it already exists
10. Run new storage node (include new port ranges, paths and parameters - see example below)
11. Stop the watchtower: docker stop watchtower
12. Remove the watchtower: docker rm watchtower
13. Run watchtower on all nodes [ docker run -d --restart=always --name watchtower -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock storjlabs/watchtower storagenode storagenode2 watchtower --stop-timeout 300s ]
14. Add new uptime port monitor for node 2 at https://uptimerobot.com/

To start the new node:

sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 \

-p 28968:28967 \

-p 14003:14002 \

-e WALLET=“0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” \

-e EMAIL=“user@example.com” \

-e ADDRESS="domain.ddns.net:28968” \

-e STORAGE=“ 13 TB" \

–mount type=bind,source=“ identity-dir ”,destination=/app/identity \

–mount type=bind,source=“ storage-dir ”,destination=/app/config \

–name storagenode2 storjlabs/storagenode:beta

Port Forwarding on my firewall

More detailed instructions are in the standard Storj Installation Steps which this guide is based upon.

Thanks for helping me out!
