Unfortunately Unraid is unreliable platform for the storagenode.

1. The storagenode uses a sqlite databases, and Unraid will damage the sqlite very often because of their bug:

> After finding corruption every few days in my docker containers (Plex, Sonarr, and SABnzbd), I finally bit the bullet and downgraded back to 6.6.7. I had been doing google searches for issues with 6.7 and Sqlite, and I ran across one that stated that...

1. Unraid mount user’s filesystem after the docker daemon start
2. The community app for storagenode v3 written by unraid community member uses the `-v` option instead of `--mount` and thus loses data every reboot because of p.2 and [difference between `-v` and `--mount` options](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/#differences-between--v-and---mount-behavior)

You can’t fix the p.2, but can fix the p.1 as described on their forum, and p.3 if you would run the docker from the command line (bash, ssh+bash, etc) with a [right command](https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli/storage-node#running-the-storage-node).

I would recommend to migrate from this unreliable platform to something more robust, even Windows working better.

Update: the latest version of Unraid platform has fixed the sqlite issue. However, it still mounts the user’s disks after the docker start, so the Unraid community app for Storj network is still dangerous, please, **do not use it** , use the CLI instruction instead: [https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli/storage-node](https://documentation.storj.io/setup/cli/storage-node)
