Quick Start Node Setup Documentation

• Get an authorization code:
  • https://www.storj.io/host-a-node
• Assign a local IP to your Synology NAS (this is not the same as your public IP)
  • Control Panel > Network > Network Interface

• Forward ports on your router and assign those ports to your Synology NAS IP.
  • Starting with 28967 TCP/UDP and 14002 TCP for your first node. Add 1 to each port for each additional node. For this example I will forward 28967-28968 TCP/UDP and 14002-14003 TCP
• Download the identity Binary
  • Login to Synology through SSH using your normal credentials.
  • Switch to root privileges

sudo -i

• Switch to a working directory, I used: /volume1
• Download identity zip file

curl -L https://github.com/storj/storj/releases/latest/download/identity_linux_amd64.zip -o identity_linux_amd64.zip

• Use “7z” to unzip the file

7z x identity_linux_amd64.zip

• Continue following the StorJ Docs…

• Setup the node

CHMOD the StorJ data

sudo chmod -R 777 /volume1/storj/data/storage

If you’re running multiple containers, make sure to change the name of each container.

sudo docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
    --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    --mount type=bind,source="/volume1/identity/storagenode/",destination=/app/identity \
    --mount type=bind,source="/volume1/storj/data/storage/",destination=/app/config \
    --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest

For multiple nodes, use this command

sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 \
    -p 28968:28967/tcp \
    -p 28968:28967/udp \
    -p localNASIP:14003:14002 \
    -e WALLET="0x00000" \
    -e EMAIL="email@theabyss.dev" \
    -e ADDRESS="publicIP:28968" \
    -e STORAGE="#TB" \
    --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    --mount type=bind,source="/volume2/identity/storagenode/",destination=/app/identity \
    --mount type=bind,source="/volume2/storj/data/storage/",destination=/app/config \
    --name storagenode2 storjlabs/storagenode:latest

It’s always a good idea to change the standard SSH (Secure Shell) port unless you plan on disabling SSH all together. This will prevent hackers from brute forcing into your system. Instead of 22, use something like 93702. Really any 5 randoms numbers will work.

How-To

Under “Control Panel” select “Terminal & SNMP”. You’ll see a checkbox to enable/disable SSH. Check the SSH box and then simply change the port number in the input field.

For best security, when you’re done using SSH go back to these settings and disable SSH all together.

To access SSH, download PuTTY
