- Enable Container Station and ssh
- Generate your identity on PC/Mac, sign it with an authorization token 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).
- Check your identity: Confirm the identity (if you already transferred an identity, you need to update path to the identity location in the check command).
- Login via ssh to QNAP
- 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:
docker inspect storjlabsSnContainer -f '{{.Mounts}}'
- Remove the QNAP app
- Run the setup step: Storage Node - Setup 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. - Run a regular container: Storage Node - Run the node
- Check your logs: How do I check my logs? - Storj Node Operator Docs
