true… but maybe the UPS was under warranty, or like he said the tech was owned by the company his mother works for, or it simply wasn’t built to be expanded…
he also points out that it was suppose to be a 1 day fix… maybe the power was still unstable who knows… also maybe he figured this would make great content for my channel…
by far not a professional setup… but many people could have many parts of this setup and not be aware… of just how close they would be to put their low wattage usage rpi storagenode on battery power for extended periods…
you can get inverters that are very very small to… i actually got a 50watt inverter somewhere lol not really useful for much… but sure could power a rpi and an 18tb hd… or two
i bet an inverter like that doesn’t cost much on ebay… and people may have batteries and chargers just sitting around… i know i do
GO EAMR!!!
looks like seagate got hammered, ofc HAMR might be revolutionary when it comes out… hdd’s jump directly to 40tb… xD … yeah didn’t think so…
Still cant find a good resource that explains all the options in config.yaml. The documentation everyone refers to brings you to the most basic of documents. I know how to physically change the config but I want to know what the hell they all do.

Nice … Why doesn’t this come up when I search
Perhaps you have searched for options, not flags.
Technically, you may have both. The best way to see a short explanation of each option is to run this command:
storagenode setup --help
I.e. Windows PowerShell:
& "C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\storagenode.exe" setup --help
Docker:
docker exec -it storagenode /app/bin/storagenode setup --help
Then you may try to search for the exact option across the forum to maybe get more details. It’s also helpful to search for it on our GitHub repository, either code or PRs/commits may have more details or explanations.
