1. Enable Container Station and ssh
2. [Generate your identity](https://docs.storj.io/node/dependencies/identity#N9zlD) on PC/Mac, [sign it with an authorization token](https://docs.storj.io/node/dependencies/identity#U3Vau) and transfer the identity folder to your QNAP; or generate and sign it on your QNAP with app (it just can take a week rather a few hours on PC/Mac).
3. Check your identity: [Confirm the identity](https://docs.storj.io/node/dependencies/identity#wgrBH) (if you already transferred an identity, you need to update path to the identity location in the check command).
4. Login via ssh to QNAP
5. Figure out what is your paths to the identity and data in the command line. If you used an qnap app, then you can execute this command to get paths:

```auto
docker inspect storjlabsSnContainer -f '{{.Mounts}}'

```

1. Remove the QNAP app
2. Run the setup step: [Storage Node - Setup](https://docs.storj.io/node/setup/cli/storage-node#ADm86) once, replacing `"<identity-dir>"` and `"<storage-dir>"` to their actual values (the `<` and `>` should be removed as well). Never run this command in the future for the same identity.
3. Run a regular container: [Storage Node - Run the node](https://docs.storj.io/node/setup/cli/storage-node#1wH-F)
4. Check your logs: [How do I check my logs? - Storj Node Operator Docs](https://docs.storj.io/node/resources/faq/check-logs)

Did you manage to enable a Container Station? Does your QNAP supports docker at all?  
Please provide a command and response for “not working” situation.  
By default, if you select a text in the PuTTY window, it will be copied to the clipboard, so, please paste it here between two new lines with three backticks, like this:

````auto
```
copied text here
```

perhaps it doesn’t exist? I do not know your filesystem structure, but I’m not sure that paths like `/homes/` are exists on QNAP. Please check your actual paths.

Usually all user’s data is in `/share/` as far as I know,

You may try to use a command

```auto
df -h

```

to identify mounted paths.  
or at least

```auto
ls -l /share/

```

I guess this is your disk for data. So, you need to create a storagenode folder here, place the identity folder here and use the storagenode folder to store storagenode’s data.
