Still working on rebuilding my server...
Oh yeah, it did in fact break. Linkage issues all over the place, couldn't salvage it, had to flatten it. So I actually have to wait for bitcoind to catch up before I start lightningd... x.x Both of them live in a chroot now, later I want to see how far I could migrate them straight into Docker. Bitcoin, easy. But lightning with plugins might has me write my own container for that... e.e Annoying...
You have to IBD again? Always big pain
oh god no. XD I ran my btc on an external microsd card, so it wasnt wiped - THAT is still there, my node is healthy and connected too.
Dude if I had to IBD again, i'd have cried in sheer agony and Nostr wouldn've seen the end of that XD
Very nice! Iv had to do two IBDs in the last few months, due to 'skill issue', IBD and indexing always test my patience, and I'm a rabid progress bar watcher. Not a good mix 😅
Oh my god the progressbar-staring IS REAL.
I am soooooo guilty of that too. idk why, but its mesmerizing.
apt, apk, ... If there is a progress bar, I gawk. And I certainly did that during my first IBD - learned the hard way that those take a while... ^^'
I expect a gist
A gist of what? o.o
The Dockerfile
Oh there is no docker involved; that is the host itself.
FriendlyElec NanoPi R6s
running: OpenWrt 23.05.2
Mounting:
- an internal microSD card I use for aux storage
- a microSDXC with 1TB through a maxed out USB 3.1 port on the front, which is also it's fastest storage, and where I keep my blockchain stuff.
Then, on the latter microSD, I used alpine's create-chroot script and modified it a little to produce a nice chroot I can now just get into, whenever I want.
To start services, I use dinit with my own service files, running inside the chroot - but being started/stopped itself by the host through procd/ubus.
So the whole thing is a makeshift VM. ^.^
