Issues with topology

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
1

sorry guys/gals, I feel bad for asking so many questions. I’m following the coincashew guide and got to the step where I need to install topologyUpdater and update my topology. When I get to the part where I need to make the relay-topology_pull.sh and restart my relay nodes I noticed that its not adding my block producer into the topology file. This results in my producer node not getting a connection in from my relays. I’m wondering if anyone figured out how to solve this?

the topology_pull.sh is:

    cat > $NODE_HOME/relay-topology_pull.sh << EOF

    #!/bin/bash

    BLOCKPRODUCING_IP=10.0.0.1

    BLOCKPRODUCING_PORT=6000

    curl -s -o $NODE_HOME/${NODE_CONFIG}-topology.json "https://api.clio.one/htopology/v1/fetch/?max=20&customPeers=\${BLOCKPRODUCING_IP},\${BLOCKPRODUCING_PORT},1|relays-new.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io,3001,2"

    EOF

You need to edit the script file with your BP ip address and port.

Sorry, forgot to mention I already did that.

What result do you get from the topooloyudpater script? (in your log file)

{ “resultcode”: “504”, “datetime”:“2021-04-15 02:57:02”, “clientIp”: “209.126.83.244”, “iptype”: 4, “msg”: “one request per hour please” }

It looks fine. Now setup a cron job to run this every hour. Not less, not more. After 4+ hours you get an answer ‘Glad you are staying with us’ instead of ‘one request per hour’. Check the topology.json file - your BP must be in it. If so, restart the cardano-node and you’ll be good to go.

Went on Telegram and asked around. Credit to Tom De Brouwe [NIMUE] for figuring it out. The problem was in the topology pull script. In the curl command the commas ( , ) need to be replaced by colons ( : ) between the ip, port, and valency. Once updated it immediately fixed the problem. BP and iohk showing up in topology.json now. Hopefully this helps others out too.
