I like https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ instructions better. Just take your time & try to enjoy the verification process. You may end up using it a lot . YouTube has a lot of videos covering this subject but most people are running mac or Linux. Good luck!

Do you folks like running Tor hidden service on your nodes? Thanks in advance!

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on January 23, 2025, 10:11:32 PM I thought that might have something to do with it... Don't ask me how I know If you're referring to your firewall, you'll need to grant the Docker container's IP address privileges to ports 8332 and 50001. I assume you're using ufw, but if not you'll have to refer to your firewall's manual. You'll need the mempool/backend docker container's IP address, but to use my example IP from above as a demonstration: Code: ufw allow from 172.0.16.12 to any port 8332 ufw allow from 172.0.16.12 to any port 50001 I just guessed it was Docker's api ip address I needed & thankfully it was. It's kinda disturbing that my firewall got me hung up for days Thanks again! Hopefully this helps other newbies trying to run a node like this.

Treat the docker container as a separate machine, giving it access to bitcoin core and electrs. Hey DW this was it! I should of just disabled my firewall to do a easy check. Now for another stupid question: How do I give the docker container access to bitcoin & electrs Hey thanks everyone. I appreciate the help!

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on January 23, 2025, 07:30:33 PM Let's forget about Docker for a second. I use Debian 12 as my go to Linux distro which doesn't have ifconfig installed by default, but IIRC it gives the same feedback. Regardless, both should work in Mint. From your terminal use this command: Code: sudo ip route Assuming your laptop is connected to wired lan and wifi (like mine when at home) the first two lines of output should look like this: Code: default via <your router's IP address> dev enp0s31f6 proto dhcp src <your computer's wired IP address> metric 100 default via <your router's IP address> dev wlp0s20f3 proto dhcp src <your computer's wifi IP address> metric 600 Set CORE_RPC_HOST <your computer's wired IP address> ELECTRUM_HOST <your computer's wired IP address> You can choose which of your computer's IP addresses you use for your yml settings, but I suggest using a wired lan for more reliability. Make sure both parameters are set to the same IP. Hey DW I just tried setting both: CORE_RPC_HOST <your computer's wired IP address> ELECTRUM_HOST <your computer's wired IP address> to my computer's wired IP and still getting a mempool page trying to load data. Thanks for the good idea!

I see you redacted your IP addresses in your yml file, but make sure you have those set correctly. Those should both be set to the local IP for your computer (issued by your router, i.e. your LAN address.) CORE_RPC_HOST <your local lan ip> ELECTRUM_HOST <your local lan ip> The other alternative that will work is the Docker container's "gateway" address. Either IP will point to the same place. Hi DW I've tried both. I got my local ip by typing and looking next to inet Code: ifconfig Also next to docker0 Code: ip a Hope this is correct & thanks again! Quote from: mocacinno on January 23, 2025, 02:32:44 PM Very true, the problem here is that the dev's have prereq's (a running core and, if necessary, a running electrs). IMHO, they should have created a compose file with all 5 services instead of creating a compose file with 3 services and a prereq of two other ones. Would all of this be written in the docker-compose.yml? TY

my electrs is set up like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRLsyD4t4w8&list=PLCRbH-IWlcW0g0HCrtI06_ZdVVolUWr39&index=8 and docker / mempool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWhGMbutidI&list=PLCRbH-IWlcW0g0HCrtI06_ZdVVolUWr39&index=10 Apparently Ive gone way over my head trying to do this by following someone on YouTube Thanks and lmk if I should throw in the towel on mempool.

Hi mocacinno & everyone I appreciate the help! Quote from: mocacinno on January 23, 2025, 08:14:58 AM In your earlyer post you said you can connect your local electrum to electrs, this is still correct? You also said you can see the mempool.space web interface, but it stays empty? This would mean the web container port forewarding is working. I ran: Code: sudo docker run hello-world and it says my installation appears to be working. One think I did notice is when I run: Code: docker compose up -d all the containers start but when I run: Code: docker compose up I get: api-1 ERR Electrum error {"errno":3008, "code": "ENOTFOUND" "syscall":"getaddrinfo"."hostname":"XXX.XX.XX.X" I also tried running: Code: docker exec -it api sh Error response from daemon: No such container: api With this command: Code: docker container logs api I get: api-1 ERR Electrum error {"errno":3008, "code": "ENOTFOUND" "syscall":"getaddrinfo"."hostname":"XXX.XX.XX.X" Im not sure if this means anything that can help as Im really new to all of this. Im going to try and figure out how to take your advice on running docker without totally messing things up. I apologize if Im not pulling my weight here. I felt like it was going to be something easy and this is going beyond that. Thanks again!!!

Do you still recommend umbrel in 2025? Thank you!

Hi again ! I've read everyone's comments and advice and tried within my capabilities to fix this issue but no luck. Here are the bitcoin.conf & docker-compose.yml files. I'm basically following ministry of nodes 2024 YouTube series. In addition to this bitcoin.conf file there is one line I've added on the last line: rpcauth:user/password Hope that's enough info & THANKS again!

Hi gang! I've been working a while on trying to get mempool.space running on my linux mint laptop without success. I've got Bitcoin core sync'd up sparrow & electrum server (electrs) Docker seems to be running on my laptop and Ive looked carefully at my docker-compose.yml & Bitcoin conf file carefully. Any ideas to get mempool running? All I have is the mempool page trying to load with no data loading. Thanks in advance!
