I am trying to settup a sawtooth network like in the following tutorial.
I use the following docker-compose.yaml file as instructed in the tutorial to create a sawtooth network of 5 nodes using the pbft consesus engine.
The problem is that once I try to check whether peering has occurred on the network by submit a peers query to the REST API on the first node from the shell container I get a connection refused answer:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to sawtooth-rest-api-default-0 port 8008: Connection refused
Connectivity among the containers seems to be working fine (I have checked with ping from inside the containers).
I suspect that the problem stems from the following line of the docker-compose.yaml file:
sawtooth-validator -vv \
--endpoint tcp://validator-0:8800 \
--bind component:tcp://eth0:4004 \
--bind consensus:tcp://eth0:5050 \
--bind network:tcp://eth0:8800 \
--scheduler parallel \
--peering static \
--maximum-peer-connectivity 10000
and more specifically the --bind option. I noticed that eth0 is not resolved properly to the IP of the container network, but instead to the loopback:
terminal output for validator 0
Do you believe that this could be the problem or is there something else I might have overlooked?
Thannk you
Looks like the moment I post something here the answer magically reveals itself.
The backslash characters are not interpreted correctly so the --bind option was not taken into account and the default is the loopback.
What I did to fix it is either put the whole command in the same line or use double backslash.
