EC2 AWS cardano-node.service failed

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool

Hello Cardano Crew,
I am facing some issues with my
AWS EC2 “Amazon Linux 2 AMI (HVM) - Kernel 5.10, SSD Volume Type” node with
cardano-node.service.

ERROR:

cardano-node.service - Cardano node service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/cardano-node.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

journalctl -e -f -u cardano-node.service -->
 /usr/local/bin/cardano-node: error while loading shared libraries: libsodium.so.23: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have set the follwing path in my .bashrc

PATH=/home/ec2-user/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/ec2-user/.cabal/bin:/home/ec2-user/.ghcup/bin:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

and in ~/.bash_profile I have added:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin
export PATH
test -f ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc # --> only this line was added

if I run:

/bin/bash -c /home/ec2-user/relay2/startRelayNode2.sh

it works and tips get extended.

I am really at the end of my ideas.

I would kindly ask for some support.

Thx.

BTW: I think I have produced my first block today :slight_smile:

How did you build your node? cntools? coincashew guide?

build with Installing cardano-node and cardano-cli from source | Cardano Developer Portal

“coincashew guide” for node.services

You probably need to add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable containing the path where libsodium is in the startup file for your cardano-node service (/home/ec2-user/relay2/startRelayNode2.sh).
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
I remember doing this on at least one server, and also recommending it to some other people and this solved their issue, but I cannot find it on my servers now. But recommend you to try this, if you still have the issue.
