I have set up the PI with the ETH2 image. I had the 1tb SSD plugged in and waited for the setup etc. But it doesn't look have used the SSD in anyway. How can get it switched it over?

Followed the steps as mentioned in the guide. I have been running the process for the past two days. I cannot access the dash board. I keep getting the message 'refused to connect'. I started out with Eth2 image.

Issue:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

does not update geth.

Root Cause:
The ethereum Apt Repository is not installed

Resolution (suggested):
Run the following commands and re-create the base image

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

After manually adding the http flag, the GETH service is up and listening.

telnet 127.0.0.1 8545
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.

But becon-chain doesn't accept it:
level=error msg="Could not connect to powchain endpoint" error="could not dial eth1 nodes: eth1 node using incorrect chain id, 0 != 1" prefix=powchain

I figured it is possible read the PI cpu temp easly. For this Prometheus provides a collector called "thermal_zone" which basically reads from

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

I think users would appreciate the CPU temp to estimate wheter CPU throttling is a thing for them. Maybe add even CPU freq?

It doesn't seem to be working as documented.

ethereum@ethnode-123:/etc$ sudo systemctl enable geth
Failed to enable unit: Unit file geth.service does not exist.

also, there is no admin page at :3000

also, there is no /etc/ethereum directory or /etc/nethermind directory

i'm just running apt-get updates right now, and i'll update if that fixes.

Please let me know anything i can try to diagnose the issue. Many thanks

Hi,
I am trying to install on RPi4 8GB with 1TB SSD, but installation fails. No services are started. I checked the syslog and it seems like your repo apt.ethraspbian.com can not be reached so no software is installed and the node can not start.

What I see from the logs is this:

Any idea what it wrong or what I can do?

When I perform apt update now apt.ethraspbian.com can be reached. Very strange to me. Can this be related?

When I want to install a package (sudo apt install) the systems rejects with a suggestion to fix the system with command "sudo apt --fix-broken install"
Can I proceed with this, won't I damage the system?

Hi,

Thank you for all your efforst to provide an 64-bit image for the Raspberry Pi 4. I have a Samsung 1TB T5 SSD drive and followed the installation guide at https://github.com/diglos/pi-gen.

The Pi boots up with "ubuntu" host name and then after a few minutes reboots with "ethnode-xxx" host name as expected. The NIC and SSD are flashing indicating synchronisation with the blockchain has started, but I can't SSH in, or even ping from my local network.

I also have attached keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor, but nothing shows up there either. First attempt I tried without attached monitor, KB and mouse, rather just remote SSH in. When that didn't work I attached HDMI, KB and mouse - no good. Second time (after flashing SD card with your image again), I attached HDMI, KB and mouse before power-up, but no output from HDMI and I still can't ping or SSH in.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Hi, after setting up my pi with the instruction, I can see it doing some work and even see it on the network,
But I cannot connect to it via ssh.
Any idea ?

I downloaded and loaded eth1 and eth2 img to sd card (both on class 10 card) but the system is not booting up. kept it running for about 24 hours but still, no luck tried to flash using rpi-imager and etcher

I boot the first time my raspberry with an ssd attached, I can see that it install a few things, then reboot.
But then I see this fail log on syslog, I think it's fatal, so geth and prysm is not syncing, right?

Nov 30 19:50:30 ethnode-287315211 beacon-chain[1656]: time="2020-11-30 19:50:30" level=error msg="Could not connect to powchain endpoint" error="could not dial eth1 nodes: Post "http://localhost:8545": dial tcp [::1]:8545: connect: connection refused" prefix=powchain

I've the right port opened on my router

FYR https://hive.blog/ethereum/@tarekadam/altona-test-net-validator-using-raspberry-pi4b-8-gb

Seems a good addition to add some firewall rules for security

Allow connection via port 22 which is SSH.
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp

Allow connection via port 3000 which is used by Grafana.
sudo ufw allow 3000/tcp

Allow connection to port 30303 udp and tcp for Geth (Ethereum Blockchain)
sudo ufw allow 30303/tcp
sudo ufw allow 30303/udp

Allow connection to port 13000 udp and tcp for Prysm (Ethereum 2.0)
sudo ufw allow 13000/tcp
sudo ufw allow 13000/udp

Enable the firewall with ufw enable. To check the status type ufw status

Some information I would like to know is "How to update the software" Eg. Prysm. How can I edit or run the systemctl with flags for eg. --graffiti or --medalla

Almost synced up after a couple of weeks, looks like my SD card is dead/dying as I'm getting errors like:

blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 5434354 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

(Could this be an issue in itself? SD card was of reputable brand, and completely new - surprised to see it give out so quickly)

If I flash a new SD card, and boot up with the same SSD attached, is there a way to make the sync pick up from where it left off, using the data that it finds on the SSD? It would be a shame to have the setup process format the SSD and start from scratch.

Any ideas ?

I'm trying to start lighthouse after a fresh install of the eth2 image on a raspi 4, 4GB. After following the README command, I get an error:

$ sudo systemctl start lighthouse && sudo systemctl enable lighthouse
Failed to start lighthouse.service: Unit lighthouse.service not found.

Geth is at version 1.10.1 at the moment. When I run update-ethereum (or apt-get install geth for that matter) on my raspberry pi 4b 8gb, it says
geth is already the newest version (1.9.25-0).

Why does it not update?

(I have followed these instructions to install EthereumOnArm on my raspberry:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/gf3nhg/ethereum_on_arm_raspberry_pi_4_images_release/

When I upgrade 'manually' (which works, I then upgrade to 1.10.1) by setting the PPA, the geth.service is disappears.
(geth no longer starting during boot)
'sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum-dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade'

When I now do sudo systemctl status geth it says:
Unit geth.service could not be found.

Trying to flash my disk with balena etcher but it says the image is corrupted...

I noticed that grafana is outdated when installing a dashboard for my lighthouse validator.
The latest version is 7.3.5 and the one installed is graffana 6.

i have installed the eth2 img.

but my MONITORING DASHBOARDS seams not to work.

i think i have to acces it with:

URL: http://192.168.0.157:3000
User: admin
Password: ethereum

the webpage dose not open..

what can i do about it?

Hi, I'm following this tutorial
and I have 2 questions to check if I'm doing good so far !

1 / I have access to the logs but how I can ensure my port 13000 is opened, do we have some commands to type on linux to check everything is good ?

2 / I don't have access to grafana

I got my raspberry pi 4 ip using "hostname -I" then on my laptop (which is using the same network) i took this IP in my browser followed by the port 3000.

I have the following error from my browser:

This is is unreachable 192.168.68.112 doesnt allow the connexion.

Do I need to wait that the eth blockchain is synced on my raspberry Pi 4 before get access to the monitoring tools ?

Thanks for your help (awesome tutorial 👍 )
