# Setting up a volunteergrid (storage) node
* Follow the [install instructions](http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/quickstart.html)
* If your storage server is behind a firewall/NAT, please set up port forwarding to your *tub.port* and point *tub.location* to your external IP address (see [configuration](http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/configuration.txt)).
* Set your WUI port (`web.port`) to 9797 (so that conventional http``````://localhost:9797/<some-filecap> URLs work).
* Please subscribe to the [volunteergrid-l](http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volunteergrid-l) mailing list - it is very low-traffic but might feature important announcements.
