Generate a thing called a node identity

Note they support raspberry pi!

You will need to do port forwarding (complicated but important ) on your router this is a advanced topic that is out of scope for this post. Port Forwarding - Node Operator

TIP: I'll plug this website if you are running a on a home network this might be of use to you. https://portforward.com/

For me unzip wasnt installed :/

Protip: use a tmux shell to let this run for a few hours then come back to it.


Mini Tmux Tutorial

Resource: Tactical tmux: by Daniel Miessler

Standard linux

if you want awesome screenshots check out https://carbon.now.sh/
apt install unzip
apt install tmux
tmux new -s GODTHISTAKESFOREVER

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
sudo mv identity /usr/local/bin/identity

Raspberry pi

if you want awesome screenshots check out https://carbon.now.sh/
apt install tmux
tmux new -s GODTHISTAKESFOREVER

curl -L https://github.com/storj/storj/releases/latest/download/identity_linux_arm.zip -o identity_linux_arm.zip
unzip -o identity_linux_arm.zip
chmod +x identity
sudo mv identity /usr/local/bin/identity

then Most difficult part ive got this wrong many times

1) press ctrl AND b at the same time

2) release the two keys

then

3) press d key quickly

NOTE: the order is important.

its abrivated in the `ctrl+b d` which does NOT mean ctrl + b + d

If video is more your speed:

Back to the tutorial

identity create storagenode

NOTE THIS WILL TAKE FOREVER!

For me its still running after writing the post up to this point. so like  1 hour for me.

ProTip:

if you want to have faster time i ended up paying for 1 hour on one of digital ocean's monster machines $600/m, which is $0.952/hour. so if you dont mind paying 1 buck, this is a good idea. WARNING: please remember to shut this shit down otherwise you will have a VERY large bill. Also NOTE to self, remember to shut it down so i dont get charged...(cringe face emoji) there goes my rent...

Running on monster machine

# it took only ~25 mins with the big monster machine

# What looks like when its finished

Copy the certs to your actual storage node pc

In my case it was a RPI 3 with attached storage
