local build fails to start geth s

[drandreaskrueger]

reproduce the problem:

git clone  https://github.com/blk-io/crux blk-io_crux
cd blk-io_crux/docker/quorum-crux/
cp docker-compose.yaml docker-compose-local.yaml
nano docker-compose-local.yaml 

then comment and uncomment, as described there, to build locally. Then:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-local.yaml up --build

The geths are not starting:

geth attach http://localhost:22001
Fatal: Failed to start the JavaScript console: api modules: Post http://localhost:22001: read tcp [::1]:41988->[::1]:22001: read: connection reset by peer

there are no geth processes:

I find this error:

hah, this solves it for me

git clone  https://github.com/blk-io/crux blk-io_crux
git checkout f39db2345cf9d82e76d3905468e6e5ea1469b09d
...

so you have introduced that problem recently.

It happened before, that suddenly the local built is broken. I suggest for the future that you also run a test of the local version whenever you've updated your repo, i.e. one quick

docker-compose -f docker-compose-local.yaml up --build

to just quickly test whether that is also still working.

Thanks a lot!

[drandreaskrueger]

Good meeting you today ;-)

[drandreaskrueger]

any news about the unknown flag: --networkinterface problem?

[drandreaskrueger]

NOT solved yet, just tried this:

docker ps

And the only things I did before was patching with larger txpool, 1 seconds blockperiod, and higher gaslimit:

mv blk-io_crux blk-io_crux_f39db23
git clone  https://github.com/blk-io/crux blk-io_crux
cd blk-io_crux

cd docker/quorum-crux/
cp docker-compose.yaml docker-compose-local.yaml
nano docker-compose-local.yaml

(*) actually about this ^ I have a small feature request, see below.

Then I patch with my wanted parameters:

jq '.gasLimit = "0x1312D00"' istanbul-genesis.json > tmp && mv tmp istanbul-genesis.json
less istanbul-genesis.json 
sed -i 's/PRIVATE_CONFIG/ARGS=$ARGS"--txpool.globalslots 20000 --txpool.globalqueue 20000 --istanbul.blockperiod 1 "\nPRIVATE_CONFIG/g' istanbul-start.sh

docker-compose -f docker-compose-local.yaml up --build

but then the quorum nodes do not come up!

Broken, very probably because there is a bug which shows as
unknown flag: --networkinterface in qdata/logs/crux.log

Some version mismatch? You probably did not notice because you use the dockerhub build, and do not build locally, right?

[drandreaskrueger]

Feature request:

Could you please include a file docker-compose-local.yaml

Editing away the # is easy for a human in an editor, but non-trivial in an automated way - that step (*) above is still human editing.

A file docker-compose-local.yaml which builds the docker locally would help for two things:

Me because I can fully automate the patching for my wanted parameters - and
you @Puneetha17 because you then more easily notice bugs like the above when you do your automated testing after upgrades.

Thanks a lot!

[Puneetha17]

It should be fixed now. We had made a change to add --networkinterface parameter in config. But did not checkout the latest release of Crux during docker build.

Also just merged the #29, so we now have a docker-compose-local.yaml to build it locally.

Sorry for a much delayed response.
And thanks for pointing out the issue!
