After successful setup and blockchain sync (producer and relay nodes), I faced a problem with no inbound connections to relay node (to be more precise, one connection from the producer node). And zero processed transactions and empty mempool.
Also, I correctly installed topologyUpdater as a service with CUSTOM_PEERS param - all works as well, but zero tx processedβ¦
Any help with this? Thanks.
How many times did u ran topology updater?
The topologyupdater shell script must be executed on the relay node as a cronjob exactly every 60 minutes. After 4 consecutive requests (3 hours) the node is considered a new relay node in listed in the topology file. If the node is turned off, itβs automatically delisted after 3 hours.
Yes, about a couple of hours ago, letβs wait. Thank you for your prompt response.
In the topologyupdater file you should see a messageβ¦ βglade you are staying with us (something like that) β¦β then your node will be considered online; I guess now itβs showing βnice to met youβ¦β

Looks like my relay is registered.
178.128.178.48:6000 port is open, but no inbound connections.
Iβm using clean Ubuntu 20 install on DigitalOcean droplets.
sudo ufw status

Cover your userβ¦ someone can use to hackβ¦ for both picturesβ¦
Try also to open port 3001 on relay and restart your Relay if needed
What is your pool ticker?
Iβm trying open 3001 port nowβ¦ My ticker is RAY
Port 3001 is opened but still no luck
Wait a moment I just saw⦠in your first gliveview output on IN you have only 1 peer and I guess is your BP right? Something is blocking your incoming connections
Yes, this is connection from BP. I try to google, but really no issues like mine.

Your issue is in your Relay side
Something is blocking your incoming connections; check in logs in topologyupdater log β¦ how many times the topology script ranβ¦nevermind I see uprime 7hoursβ¦ I guess more than 4
Let me check on my Relays
Yes, I almost 7 hours try to figured it out 
Thank you for your help, it is inspiring.
we will fix it 
look my relays show more IN peers:

I think I will try to add additional relay, and build node from the scratch.
I will write results if you are interested. 
waitβ¦can you show me the config of topologyupdater script?
nano topologyupdater.sh (cover your BP IP)
mine is looking like that:
Yes, I changed just CUSTOM_PEERS in this file.
CNODE_HOSTNAME="CHANGE ME" # (Optional) Must resolve to the IP you are requesting from
CNODE_LOG_DIR="${CNODE_HOME}/logs" # Folder where your logs will be sent to (must pre-exist)
CNODE_VALENCY=1 # (Optional) for multi-IP hostnames
CNODE_TOPOLOGY="${CNODE_HOME}/files/topology.json" # Destination topology.json file you'd want to write output to
MAX_PEERS=15 # Maximum number of peers to return on successful fetch
CUSTOM_PEERS="x.x.x.x:6000|relays-new.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io:3001:2"
ok, wait 1 sec, looks fine
