You need to specify an absolute paths to your config and the identity locations.  
Please, also use a remote access configuration to connect to your dashboard from anywhere: [How to remote access the web dashboard - Storj Docs](https://documentation.storj.io/resources/faq/how-to-remote-access-the-web-dashboard)

> Hello, I have a method for this but I wanted to get through an update cycle to make sure it worked before I posted it. I’m running two separate nodes with two separate binaries storagenode1 and storagenode2, and then the individual systemd service files for each node. Both nodes use a common storagenode-updater binary. If you already have a node installed as per the OP instructions, set up the second node as follows. Prerequisites Set up identities, port forwards, etc, for your second node. M…

You also can configure the updater:

> We now have a Linux storage node and updater available. The Linux installer and the new docker container are not yet available. That means for now we have to create the required services manually. If you don’t know how that works please skip this test round and come back later when we have the installer or the docker container ready. Please don’t migrate any existing storage node. Better start a fresh storage node and expect it to get disqualified. If you are still willing to help us testing t…
