Storj App URL Access

[BHK-Industry]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently running Storj on TrueNAS SCALE, but I’m experiencing issues accessing the Storj Web UI. Here’s the setup and troubleshooting steps I’ve taken so far:

Setup Details

TrueNAS Version: TrueNAS SCALE Storj Version: 1.1.11 (installed via the TrueNAS Applications) Configured Port: Web UI Port: 14002 (tcp://0.0.0.0:14002) P2P Port: 28967 (tcp/udp) Network Interface: enp1s0 (192.168.178.28) with port forwarding enabled for the necessary ports.

Problem

After setting up Storj, I tried accessing the Web UI using http://xxxxx:14002, but I keep getting a “Connection Refused” error. The Storj application status shows “Running,” but I can’t access the interface.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

Checked Ports and Configuration: Verified that the Web UI port is set to 14002 and that it’s listening on 0.0.0.0. Confirmed that TrueNAS is using the correct IP (xxxxxxx) on the enp1s0 interface. Tested Network Connectivity: Attempted to access the Web UI from multiple devices on the same network with the same result. Tried connecting directly via telnet and curl to see if port 14002 is open, but it appears to be inaccessible externally. Checked Firewall and Router Settings: Ensured that port 14002 is allowed on the network firewall. Configured port forwarding on the router to allow incoming connections to xxxxxx:14002**. Restarted Storj Application: Restarted the Storj application multiple times after making configuration changes, but the issue persists. Verified Network Interface: Verified that enp1s0 is active and correctly configured as the main interface for TrueNAS. Additional Information

I’ve also tried switching to other ports (like 20909 previously) and enabling/disabling the “Host Network” option to see if that resolves the issue, but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have experience with this or know of any additional settings I might need to check? I’d appreciate any guidance on getting the Storj Web UI accessible on TrueNAS SCALE.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, can you share the logs of storj? Also can you try shell'ing into the container and curl localhost:14002?

Okay, looks like the permissions are not correct for the data directory. id 568 should have read/write access to it.

I'll add a check before the identity generation, so it will fail early if something is wrong.

Great, thanks for the update!

I still get a crash with 1.1.13.

Hello, yes you still need to fix your permissions. The only change made here is to add a check early in the process instead of waiting the full identity generation
