I’ve looked around and I can’t find any definitive information so I hope you can help.
I am running two relay nodes installed via cntools. They restart every 24 hours to update the topology files using the system service files provided.
However the nodes never shut down cleanly. Now first of all I thought maybe the script wasn’t giving the node enough time, so I increased that time to 360 seconds, however the nodes are still starting up and taking over an hour to come online as they check over the ledger again.
Does anyone else have this issue? The code being executed is shown below:
The nodes restart 2 hours apart from each other, so my BP always has at least one relay, but from what I understand the node should only take about 10 minutes to start, not over an hour.
try with 3 vCPU
if still not working (which should be related with the CPU power) then set the relays to restart more seldom (not a must to be restarted each day)
The system service restarted the node today at the specified time, unfortunately it did not cleanly shutdown and now it is checking over the ledger again.
Okay, so yesterday, BOTH nodes restarted cleanly on their own, I will monitor today as well to make sure it’s not a fluke. They’ve never done this before, but interestingly I did manually stop and restart them each before the automated script ran, so maybe that cleared some files or something?
No idea, but yesterday they were fine, I will report back if today they are fine as well.
