storj-deployment

Full compose multinode deployment for storj-node with exporters and grafana.

This implementation aims to gather all available information in single place and make deployment as simple as possible.

Deployment example

Grafana storj

Grafana host

List of web interfaces

storj-node stack

storj-ui stack

Per node compose deployment

• storj-node with log to file
• preconfigured zksync
• logrotate for storj-node
• storj exporter
• storj log exporter
• storj updater
• running on shared dedicated internal network

Other

• docker host OS monitoring
• prometheus + grafana configuration
• grafana storj and host os monitoring graphs
• simple website for host displaying all available storj web interfaces
• storj multinode optional deployment

Prepare for deployment

This is one time step to build a docker image we will use in node deployment.

Build storj-log-exporter docker image

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/kevinkk525/storj-log-exporter
cd storj-log-exporter
sudo docker build -t storj-log-exporter .

Node deployment

Example for node "01". Increment number as needed.

Prepare storj node implementation

Get your auth token and Generate node identity as normal with name nodeXX, replace XX with node number. Example: node01 https://www.storj.io/host-a-node

Linux example for node01:

cd ~
wget https://github.com/storj/storj/releases/latest/download/identity_linux_amd64.zip
unzip -o identity_linux_amd64.zip
chmod +x identity
./identity create node01
./identity authorize node01 <email:characterstring>
grep -c BEGIN ~/.local/share/storj/identity/node01/ca.cert
grep -c BEGIN ~/.local/share/storj/identity/node01/identity.cert

grep should result in 2 and 3 respectively.

Port forward 140XX, replace XX with node number. Example: 14001

Initialize storj node

docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
    --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    --mount type=bind,source="/root/.local/share/storj/identity/node01",destination=/app/identity \
    --mount type=bind,source="/mnt/node01",destination=/app/config \
    --name storj-node01 storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Deploy storj node

Checkout storj-node stack for new node

cd ~
rm /mnt/node01/config.yaml
svn checkout https://github.com/tomaae/storj-deployment.git/trunk/storj-nodeXX storj-node01

Edit stack configuration:

sed -i 's/XX/01/g' ./storj-node01/.env

Edit storj-node01/.env attributes as needed:

NODE_ID=<2 number node id>
NODE_EMAIL=<contact email>
NODE_EXTERNAL=<external fqdn>:150XX
NODE_STORAGE=<storj node size>
NODE_WALLET=<wallet address>
NODE_MNT=<storj node config mount point>
NODE_IDENTITY=<storj node iudentity directory>

node ID, ports and NODE_IDENTITY should be preconfigured correctly

Deploy node

cd storj-node01
docker compose up -d

Grafana deployment

One time deployment

Checkout storj-ui stack

cd ~
svn checkout https://github.com/tomaae/storj-deployment.git/trunk/storj-ui

Edit stack configuration storj-ui/.env

PROMETHEUS_MOUNT=<ui mount pointmount point>/prometheus
GRAFANA_MOUNT=<ui mount point>/grafana

GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<password>
GF_USERS_ALLOW_SIGN_UP=false
GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=yesoreyeram-boomtable-panel

DOCKER_HOST_HOSTNAME=<docker host fqdn>

Edit storj-ui/prometheus.yml, append block for each node, replace XX with node ID

  - job_name: storj-nodeXX
    scrape_interval: 60s
    scrape_timeout: 20s
    metrics_path: /
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["storj-exporterXX:9651", "storj-log-exporterXX:9144"]
        labels:
          instance: "nodeXX"

Deploy storj-ui

cd storj-ui
docker compose up -d

Import grafana dashboard:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomaae/storj-deployment/main/storj-ui/dashboard_exporter_combined.json

(Optional) Deploy docker host statistics

If you want docker host statistics, deploy for each docker host

Checkout storj-host stack

cd ~
mkdir -p /mnt/exporter/prometheus /mnt/exporter/grafana
chown 777 /mnt/exporter/prometheus /mnt/exporter/grafana
svn checkout https://github.com/tomaae/storj-deployment.git/trunk/storj-hostXX storj-host01
sed -i 's/XX/01/g' ./storj-host01/.env
cd storj-host01
docker compose up -d

Edit storj-ui/prometheus.yml, append block for each host, replace XX with host ID

  - job_name: storj-hostXX
    static_configs:
    - targets: ['host-exporterXX:9100']
      labels:
        instance: "hostXX"

Deploy updated storj-ui

cd storj-ui
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Import grafana dashboard:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomaae/storj-deployment/main/storj-ui/node-exporter-full.json

(Optional) multinode deployment

One time deployment if you want to also deploy official multinode

Generate identity for multinode:

cd ~
./identity create multinode --difficulty 10

Deploy docker image:

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped \
    --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    -p 10000:15002/tcp \
    --network storj-bridge
    --mount type=bind,source="/root/.local/share/storj/identity/multinode/ca.key",destination=/app/identity \
    --mount type=bind,source="/mnt/multinode",destination=/app/config \
    --name storj-multinode storjlabs/multinode:latest

Issue API key:

docker exec -it storj-node01 ./storagenode issue-apikey --identity-dir /app/identity --config-dir /app/config --log.output stderr

Change node01 to appropriate node number

multinode UI will be available on port 10000 When importing new nodes, use internal network addresses instead of public:

Public IP Address:
storj-node01:28967
