⚠️⚠️ There are no incentives or rewards for running a Waku node. ⚠️⚠️ 🛑🛑 DO NOT RUN A NODE IF YOU ARE EXPECTING REWARDS 🛑🛑 # Waku FAQ - [Does my node work properly?](#does-my-node-work-properly) - [My node is not able to start properly](#My-node-is-not-able-to-start-properly) - [Does the running node have any incentives?](#does-running-a-node-have-any-incentives) - [Error when running .register_rln.sh](#error-when-running-register_rlnsh) - [Problem with Grafana](#does-my-grafana-looks-right) ---- ### Does my node work properly? Your node should have at least 40 connected peers, and you should see some traffic in and out, in the Grafana board. 1. Run `docker ps` and check that the `wakuorg/nwaku` container is not continuously restarting 2. Use the following commands to check the node better: 1. `curl -X GET http://localhost:8645/health` 2. `curl -X GET http://localhost:8645/debug/v1/info` 3. `curl -X GET http://localhost:8645/debug/v1/version` 4. `curl -X GET http://localhost:8645/admin/v1/peers` 5. `curl -X GET http://localhost:8645/admin/v1/filter/subscriptions` 6. `curl -X GET http://localhost:8003/metrics` 3. Check the following local services: 1. Grafana: [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:4000/) 2. Local node front end: http://localhost:4000/ ### My node is not able to start properly If you are using Contabo, we recommend moving to a different VPS vendor. If not, remove the keystore and rln_tree folders, run the ./register_rln script again, and try to run your node again. ### Does running a node have any incentives? There are currently no incentives in place, but it's something currently being researched and designed. ### Error when running .register_rln.sh > ERR 2024-06-23 16:05:04.984+00:00 failure while initializing OnchainGroupManager topics="rln_keystore_generator" tid=1 file=rln_keystore_generator.nim:61 error="Failed to get the chain id: Forbidden" There is a problem with you EthClient account. Take a closer look on how you set the values of the .env file paying attention to example, and make sure you have a valid EthClient. ### Does my Grafana looks right? It should look like: http://5.196.26.230:3000/d/yns_4vFVk/nwaku-monitoring?orgId=1&refresh=1m
