[Tech Preview] Linux Installer Part 2

For the first tech preview, we had to build the installer ourselves. This step is not needed anymore. We have an apt repository for you. With the following 3 commands, you can install a storage node. echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://deb.storj.io buster-staging main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/storjlabs.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install storagenode Disqualification Warning Don’t migrate docker nodes yet. It would require a surprising number of manual modifications. If you miss one you…

How to set up a non-Docker node using systemd services with the official native storagenode binary

Prerequisites Create and authorize a Storj identity as per Storj Documentation. Install Ubuntu 20.04 server. Set up a static IP and configure port forwarding Set up an appropriate storage medium and mount to /mnt/storagenode.
