[Solved]Cant add virtual node on app

[Jared]

Follow this script. That way if you want to add another node in the future it’ll be easy to do.

Multi-VNode script

Hi everyone, I’ve decided to make the script I’m using for running multiple Node Virtuals on a single machine public: You just need to add in your validator keys at the top and it’ll create a Node Virtual for each one. The first node will be on port 9334, 2nd on 9335, and so on. To add them to your app follow the instructions here to add nodes with custom ports: Advanced set up: customize the port of your Node

Edit the script with “sudo nano” before you run it and add in your validator key.

[Jared]

If you can’t figure it out I can help walk you through it. I can assure you it works on Vultr because I used to use them but now I use contabo.

I appreciate the help, very new to the coding so sometimes white out over it haha so its 99.99% me messing up - just ran the scripts and it already seems to be doing more pulls than before so I must have messes something up - set the withdraw from the Provider stake so will see if its running once this is done then try with the PRV back in the main wallet. Expect some more cries of help in the next few days though haha

[Jared]

Awesome. If you’re seeing more pulls when it’s setting up docker that’s great. Go ahead and try adding the node again in the app after you make a new key for your node. You can always add the stake later on but can setup the node now to make sure it works.

Check sudo docker stats and sudo docker ps to see if your node is running correctly and check the port again as well.

[Bazz_Jeffries]

Still nothing when I press add >_<
getting this on docker stats
CONTAINER ID NAME CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT MEM % NET I/O BLOCK I/O PIDS
6eddc581fe31 inc_mainnet_3 0.00% 0B / 0B 0.00% 0B / 0B 0B / 0B 0

^C

and this on Docker PS
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
6eddc581fe31 incognitochain/incognito-mainnet:20200807_2 “/bin/bash run_incog…” 7 minutes ago Restarting (3) 30 seconds ago inc_mainnet_3

Checking on the telnet web tool it is accessable - Connection Status : Connection to 165.232.46.22 on port 9334 was successfull

Gonna have to crash out as im about to hit 3am and feeling defeated haha

Okay so according to the logs for some reason the docker container looks to be restarting over and over again and again. Which VPS did you pay for?

Also you want to check the IP address on an external website. Use the following website to check your port from now on.

Did you follow this guide when you setup your Vultr VPS?

How to launch and connect your Vultr Instance

1. Log in your Vultr Account Create one if you don’t have 2. Click “+” to deploy a new server [1] 3. Choose "Cloud compute" [2] 4. Pick a location that is near yours For example, I am in Asia, I choose “Singapore” [3] 5. Choose "Ubuntu - 19.10 x64" [4] 6. The recommendation of the server is 4 CPUs, 4 GB Ram and 50 GB SSD. We choose "$40/mo" [5] 7. Leave the rest as default. Click on "Deploy Now" [6] 8. Wait for a while [7] Once it is running, click “Manage” [8] Use this inform…

[Bazz_Jeffries]

Yeah followed the guide - the only variance is that there no longer seems to be 19.10 x64 so selecting 20.04 x64
Cheers for the help I appreciate it!
Just so I know Im doing it right, once ive edited the code in Sudo nano is there something specific I need to do to deploy the code as i could be doing that wrong somehow - im sure id be able to find a way!

It may be that something is broke with incog network.
We are seeing restart issues as well with nodes that have been working fine.

[Peter]

Hi @Bazz_Jeffries, please restart the app, and confirm that the IP you want to add hasn’t existed yet on your Node screen.

Currently, we can’t add 2 Nodes with the same IP address. It will give an error message, and it was hidden behind the keyboard. We will improve this glitch soon.

[Jared]

@Peter @Bazz_Jeffries was having an issue with his node starting up. He has since spun up a new VPS and it appears this node is working without restarts and the port is showing open on a port checker.

[Bazz_Jeffries]

Hi Peter thanks have restarted and tried again but still not working here’s a screen capture of what happens if that helps

[Bazz_Jeffries]

[Peter]

Thanks @Jared. “Restarting instance” is a different problem. I think we need a log to verify.
Hi @fitz_fiat & @Bazz_Jeffries, please give us this file so we can verify: error.log It is in your /data directory.

Another thing that we are working on is that you can’t add a node to your screen using the IP. Please wait for our updates.

[leo]

I also meet the same problem.

My app wallet is on ios.

My ubuntu version is: 20.04

[Peter]

Hi @Bazz_Jeffries @leo,

Have you ever had any added Nodes in that screen? We are trying to reproduce the bug.

Also, please try to add again now and let me know the result.

[fitz_fiat]

Because it was a new node there is no error.log. The restarting never logged any issues to error before restarting.

Will see if the head of the regular log has anything.

[Bazz_Jeffries]

Hi no this was my first but I have just tried now and it seems to be working. Have got through to pressing stake so will see shortly but seems all good so far. Thanks for your help

[Bazz_Jeffries]

Thanks again for all the help setting up my vnode - really appreciate all the time you took out to give me a hand!

[Jared]

No problem. Glad I could help! Just keep an eye on docker ps and docker stats. You don’t want to be seeing restarts.

[Bazz_Jeffries]

Cheers, been up sold since i launched it so fingers crossed that means its all good!
