Farming stuck on Synchronization

[FelixOderSo]

Hi,
so yea my farming is since I installed Machinaris on Synchronization
and yea, I also gave it a fresh installation didn't fix the problem.
I'm running Machinaris on unraid (newest version) on a Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX300 S8

• 512gb ddr3 ecc ram
• 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz

Greetings, yes on a fresh install it can take days to synchronize a Chia blockchain database from network peers. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the machinaris:test image, which supports a much faster download of the entire Chia database.

Either way, please monitor the progress of the sync from the Blockchains page of the Machinaris WebUI. If successfully syncing, you see the Synced date increasing, getting closer to current time. You can also monitor the number of network peers, and test your port-forwarding from the Connections page. Hope this helps!

Hi,
okay, thanks for the answer, so I looked it up in the blockchain tab in the web ui,
Under details, I see the following:

Network: mainnet Port: 8444 RPC Port: 8555

if I see it correct, the synchronization status is this: 942853/3513025 (2570172 behind)

So in unraid I had the option, when I first created the container, to download the blockchain directly instead of syncing it. I set this to “true”. I went all the way through the download process, but yea still on syncing.

Apologies for the trouble. There is an issue in Machinaris v0.8.8 (Repository: ghcr.io/guydavis/machinaris:latest) related to "blockchain_db_download" setting.

1. Stop the Machinaris container in Unraid Admin UI
2. Completely delete the entire appdata folder off Unraid at /mnt/user/appdata/machinaris
3. Edit the Machinaris container, Repository line to ghcr.io/guydavis/machinaris:test and ensure "blockchain_db_download" remains set to "true".
4. Start the Machinaris container in the Unraid Admin UI.
5. Monitor the Logs console of the Machinaris container in the Unraid Admin UI.

This will reset your install and perform the blockchain download.

Okay so I did everything, the installation was without any issues.

Okay it's back online now it says the following under Blockchains:

I guess I'll let it run for a few days until it's synced:)
