Now it’s perfect… now what I ask you… because u copied the files from bkp … go to cntools - pool - rotate … perform this step 3-4 times then restart the Producer
- I had an issue in the past … when I used old files from bkp…
what do you mean rotate? kes key?
Exactly… the kes keys
Okay i have rotated once already, but ill do as you say
should i rotate, rotate, rotate or rotate, restart, rotate, restart?
Thanks, now restart the Producer… everything is fine… you will need to install chrony and I think this is it with the producer …
Tomorrow for the relay… run the prereqs.sh
After that copy the binari files from /.cabal.bin + the DB and it should work
You can restart the producer, it’s enough now 
This was my isuue
i remember you talking about it on twitter hopefully dont have that problem
Nope, if u rotated 3-4 times is fine 
yes i rotated 4 times and restarted, so much easier than air gapped i always dreaded rotating or updating pool
Yeah, I am using cntools since day1 :))
Now u can encrypt the pool/wallet files if u want
it will encrypt only the 3 cold keys files and the payment.skey and the stake.skey
U can use the producer as a air gapped machine… just disconnected from the network :)) but anyway ur funds are insinde the hw wallet so… should not be a concern anymore

Check if this rule is applies also for ingress … the traffic coming from outside should be blocked for the producer
