Identity directory not found

[Uddeshya-1812]

file or directory not found error: open /home/uddeshya/.local/share/storj/identity/uplink/identity.cert: no such file or directory
above error was reported while creating a bucket...please provide a solution

We currently have a bug where storage node identities are required for uplinks as well. We're working on fixing it but in the meantime you can create an identity by running go install storj.io/storj/cmd/identity && identity create uplink

Even after generating the identity I am served with Uplink configuration error: failed to connect to overlay: transport error: connection error: desc = "transport: error while dialing: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:7778: connect: connection refused"

Do you have a local network running? @BlueNokia
At this stage there is no public network you can use the uplink against. Per default it tries to connect to a satellite running in your local environment.
You can see how that works here:

I am having a different error when I execute the command "uplink ls" or any uplink command at all. The error is "rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = Invalid API credential". And yes, I ran the storj network before I excuted the uplink commands. Can't find a way out, please help!

@rohan-chakra You have to use the ENV Variables of the storj-sim network to take the correct API Credentials for authorization.
You can find the description in detail here:

Can you please tell me the instructions of how to change the ENV variables and the steps to set the correct API credentials because it is not mentioned in this link or any link of storj blogs that I have visited yet.

@rohan-chakra You can point your local uplink at the gateway config that is automatically being started by storj-sim like this:
uplink --config-dir $GATEWAY_0_DIR <other-config-flags-you-want>

Reason for using the gateway config is that the uplink is an extended version of the former.
For additional flags that you might want to use the --help flag is very self explanatory.

Hey Stefan I am sorry to have to constantly ask you this but I am honestly not sure how to configure the correct API credentials and what additional flags from gateway would resolve my problem. In this screenshot you can see the error is appearing in the storj network running in the background as well. Does this mean I am connected? and how do I solve this error?

Hey Rohan, I have the same problem.
uplink --config-dir $GATEWAY_0_DIR ls
Because $GATEWAY_0_DIR is empty on my MacOS, I set it to gateway directory using export $GATEWAY_0_DIR=<path to gateway config>, and this works for me.

Hello everyone !
I thank you in advance for your help.

I am running Linux Debian, when I try to create a bucket with "

uplink mb sj: // thename

I get an error message:

file or directory not found error: open /home/daylight/.local/share /storj/identity/uplink/identity.key: no such file or directory

And when I try this command:

go install identity && identity create uplink

I get this error message:

can not load package: package identity: can not find "identity" package in any of:
/ usr / local / go / src / identity (from $ GOROOT)
/ home / daylight / go / src / identity (from $ GOPATH)

How is it that the directory does not exist and how to solve this problem?

Thank you so much.

Hello @Twisterblack !

Your install command is incorrect.
Please use: go install ./cmd/identity && identity create uplink

Closing as there is no further issue being reported!
