The advice coming down is sloppy, they fail to discuss the --home-network switch.
–home-network is utilized with safenode-manager to build nodes when not doing ‘port forwarding’ on the internet router. No port forwarding = no nanos unless using --home-network
port forwarding wtf??? read on…
This is what I use to run 18 nodes (no port forward) and their logs on a USB stick (D:) under windows10
safenode-manager add --count 18 --owner discordID --home-network --data-dir-path D:\ --log-dir-path D:\
So if were starting from scratch then:
-
safeup update
-
safenode-manager reset
-
safenode-manager add –count 18 --owner discordID --home-network –data-dir-path D:\ –log-dir-path D:\
-
safenode-manager start
-
safenode-manager status --details
*bolded items use your variables
** if you don’t specify --data-dir-path and --log-dir-path then the root drive is used
