  • How do I hold STORJ? What is a valid address or compatible wallet? – Storj [5]

  1. follow the Docker instructions

  2. create an ERC-20 compatible wallet

  3. open the 28967 TCP and UDP ports on your firewalls. These ports are for data transfers. Port 14002 is instead used to monitor your Storj node with a web browser. Port 14002 is not required to be exposed

  4. create the jobs directories

    mkdir -p /home/jobs/scripts/by-user/root/docker/storj

  5. create a Docker compose file

    /home/jobs/scripts/by-user/root/docker/storj/docker-compose.yml#
     1version: '3.2'

17        target: /app/identity
18      - type: bind
19        source: ${DATA_PATH}
20        target: /app/config
21    environment:
22      - SETUP=true
23      - WALLET=${WALLET_ADDRESS}
24      - ADDRESS=${MAIN_DOMAIN}:28967
25      - STORAGE=1.5TB

29networks:
30  mynetwork:
31    driver: bridge
32    driver_opts:
33      com.docker.network.bridge.name: br_docker_storj

    Note

    Replace MAIN_DOMAIN, WALLET_ADDRESS and DATA_PATH with appropriate values.

  6. download the identity executable

    cd /home/jobs/scripts/by-user/root/docker/storj
curl -L https://github.com/storj/storj/releases/latest/download/identity_linux_amd64.zip -o identity_linux_amd64.zip
unzip -o identity_linux_amd64.zip
chmod +x identity

  7. create the authorization token from the host a node page

  8. create and authorize the identity

    ./identity create storagenode
./identity authorize storagenode ${authorization_token}

  9. move and backup the identity files

    cp -aR /root/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode identity
cp -aR /root/.local/share/storj key_backup
rm -rf /root/.local/share/storj

  10. run the setup

    docker-compose up --remove orphans
docker-compose down --remove orphans

  11. set the SETUP environment variable to false in the docker-compose file

  12. use this Systemd service unit file

    /home/jobs/services/by-user/root/docker-compose.storj.service#
     1[Unit]

 3Requires=network-online.target

  13. fix the permissions

    chmod 700 /home/jobs/scripts/by-user/root/docker/storj/docker-compose.yml
chmod 700 -R /home/jobs/services/by-user/root

  14. run the deploy script
