New (second) node not coming online

Node Operators troubleshooting

Hi,

I’ve started a second node using a second HDD on my Raspberry Pi 4, but it’s been offline since its creation a few hours ago, is this normal? I’m running Raspberry Pi OS, confirmed identity is fine and signed, six files, correct file sizes etc. I’ve confirmed ports are accessible from the outside, I’m using ddns and I’ve had the first node up and running for months with no issues. No firewall active on rPi nor router, even restarted the router for kicks.

Current uptime is 60 minutes since last reboot. I’ve restarted, stopped, deleted docker container, rebooted the rPi. “Last contact” was thousands of hours ago according to the web app. CLI dashboard reports offline as well.

System load is low/normal, NODE 1 is active as normal.

Run commands:

Summary

### NODE 1 ###
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 -p 28967:28967 -p 14002:14002 -e WALLET="XYZ" -e EMAIL="XYZ@XYZ.XYZ" -e ADDRESS="DDNS:28967" -e STORAGE="3400GB" --mount type=bind,source="XYZ/identity/storagenode",destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source="/XYZ/storj/",destination=/app/config --name storagenode1 storjlabs/storagenode:latest

### NODE 2 ###
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 300 -p 28968:28967 -p 14003:14002 -e WALLET="XYZ" -e EMAIL="XYZ@XYZ.XYZ" -e ADDRESS="DDNS:28968" -e STORAGE="5100GB" --mount type=bind,source="XYZ/identity/storagenode2",destination=/app/identity --mount type=bind,source="/XYZ/storj2/",destination=/app/config --name storagenode2 storjlabs/storagenode:latest

Nothing really pops out other then you didnt open ports for the second node. I would double check to make sure ports are open.

3

Indeed, ports 28967 and 28968 are open according to https://canyouseeme.org/.

4

If you can see the port open for the node means its running, If you stop the node does the port still appear open?

5

Stopped docker container, deleted it, and checked - port still open.

6

Do you have anything else using that port? Port will only appear open if something is actually using it.

7

No, nothing else is using that port. I would assume the docker command would fail if the port was already in use, but I don’t have any other containers running other than these two, and no other services running either.

8

Try a different port and see what happens.

I had forwarded the port in my router as 28968->28967… problem solved, haha. Thanks for helping out, and inadvertently, steering me to stumbling on the issue that I had double checked already.
