So if there is only the bandwidth.db error, and my IP’s, ports etc have not changed (i have triple checked). why does the dashboard say offline, QUIC misconfigured, and node ID show as blank?
UPDATE: I followed the instructions here (Used_serial.db malformed - #4 by Alexey), on Site A. Everything seemed to proceed smoothly but the resulting bandwidth.db file was,
A. much smaller then the old one, and
B. after trying to start the container, it crashed storj, my server and even the logs (server and docker containers) would auto-close after a couple seconds (making it impossible to read/troubleshoot)
Thankfully…I had made a backup of the .DB, and after a server re-boot its back up and running with the occasional errors, as mentioned in my OP.
Without the ramdisk, i it would take days of being offline and disqualify me (for sure, if i am not already), but why was the output file so small? Can i copy the DB file somewhere else, to do the repair while leaving the node running to keep it online? Or is that going to cause confusion/disqualification in the node?
What happened? I am still trying to ascertain why the QUIC is saying misconfigured on Site B, when nothing has been changed, and all the IP, and port forwarding is clearly correct!?!?!?! Am i going to lose this node (siteB) and the reputation i was careful to maintain?
For future reference, can i use this backup again? Or, as i suspect, now that the node has been running again, the DB’s are changed and a backup must be made every time i shut down the node to repair the SQLite DB?
Sorry if i am long winded, i am trying to both understand and learn how this all works so i can be better!
