RPC Node Connection Setup Error: Could not determine validator public IP address

Solana: Run rpc node connection timed out Unable to determine the validator's public IP address

As a Solana developer, you are probably no stranger to the challenges of setting up a remote server for testing and development. One common issue that can occur when using Hetzner servers is connecting to an RPC node. In this article, we will delve into the “Could not determine validator public IP address” error and explore potential solutions.

Problem: Could not determine validator public IP address

The error message indicates that the Solana RPC node connection timed out due to an inability to obtain the validator’s public IP address. This is a common issue when using a rented Hetzner server, as it can be difficult to obtain the server’s public IP address directly.

Step-by-step troubleshooting guide

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  • Check server configuration: Make sure the Solana server has the necessary firewall rules configured to allow incoming connections from other machines.
  • Check network connectivity: Check the server’s network connectivity by running ip addr or dig +short 8.8.8.8 to verify that the router is working properly.
  • Check IP address assignment: Check if the Hetzner server has a public IP address assigned via account settings or DNS configuration.
  • Use curl: Try using curl to get the public IP address of the validator: curl -I localhost:8555
  • Check the RPC node configuration: Check the Solana RPC node configuration file (solana.config.json) for typos or incorrect settings that may be preventing the connection.
  • Check firewall rules: Check to see if any firewall rules are blocking incoming connections from other machines.

Potential solutions

If none of these steps resolve the issue, here are some potential solutions to consider:

  • Contact your Hetzner server administrator to see if there are any IP or configuration issues.
  • Try using a different RPC node connection method, such as instead ofcurl`.
  • Verify that the Solana client is configured correctly and not conflicting with the RPC node.

Conclusion

To sum up, getting the public IP address of the validator can be a difficult problem when setting up an RPC node on a rented Hetzner server. By following these steps and the troubleshooting guide, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully connect to the Solana RPC node. If the problem persists, do not hesitate to contact the Hetzner support team or ask the Solana community for further assistance.
