Over 60% synced! This was much easier than I expected and I’m grateful I get to look back on this weekend as the time I brought my first node online!
Discussion
I’M ONLINE 🤩
For context, this is my FIRST NODE 🥳
Yea I just did my first node as well
Awesome man 💟👀
My node ended up crashing repeatedly due to me not understanding that StartOS does not support running off an external SSD 🤦♀️
Currently saving up for a 4TB M.2 SSD that I can use in my spare laptop! Then I can start up the node again 🥳
so turns out I somehow accidentally installed startOS on my 500 GB NVMe drive instead of the 4 TB external SSD I intended to use for this node 🤦♀️
I swore I chose that external SSD during setup, but I must have made a mistake somewhere (maybe how I formatted/prepped the SSD)
Anyway, I ended up straight up removing the internal drive from the laptop I’m using so startOS had no other option but to use the external drive, now I should be spinning up a FULL un-pruned node!
time to go back to waiting for it to sync ⏳🕰️⌚️⏲️⏰
I’ll always be fond of looking back on this journey, I’m so fucking excited and this thread really captures that!
