Some nodes - for unknown reasons - struggle to connect to peers. This is seen when:
- When starting a node, the node does not connect to any peers, and doesn't start to sync the database immediately.
- Connects to 1-4 peers, but fails to maintain them (often dropping and regaining them), or doesn't gain any more over time.
The reasons for this are unknown.
A solution to this is to delete the nodes.json file ( found here: ./fusenet/database/FuseNetwork/network/nodes.json) and replace it with a known good one from a node with many peers.
To stop this issue happening, it would be beneficial to include a 'good' nodes.json file in the initial node set up script (quickstart.sh)
Actions:
- Maintain a good nodes.json file in this repo.
- Include the download and install of nodes.json in the quickstart script (either manually or automatically)
- Update the documentation to reflect this change, and point users who experience this issue to this solution.
