Troubleshooting Guide

This guide provides solutions for common issues when using FlxTime™ with ESP devices and Docker container.

1. ESP Device Troubleshooting

Problem 1: No FLXTime-AP is visible after flashing the firmware

  • Solution:
    • Reboot the ESP device by pressing the RST (reset) button.
    • Wait for 1 minute; the FLXTime-AP network should appear.
    • Re-flash the device again by following the FlxTime™ ESP Mining Setup Guide

Problem 2: No pop-up window or cannot access 192.168.4.1 during WiFi setup

  • Solution:
    • Ensure you are connected to the FLXTime-AP WiFi network.
    • Try using a different web browser.

Problem 3: ESP device cannot connect to your WiFi network

  • Solution:
    • Ensure your WiFi network is running on 2.4GHz (ESP devices do not support 5GHz).
    • Go to 192.168.4.1 and verify your WiFi credentials (SSID and password).
    • Move the ESP device closer to your router to ensure a stronger signal.
    • Reboot the ESP device.

Problem 4: Wallet error during configuration

  • Solution:
    • Visit the IP address of your miner and double-check your Solana wallet address.
    • Save the address again and restart the device.

2. Docker Troubleshooting

Problem 1: Container not starting

  • Solution:
    • Ensure Docker is installed and running:
      sudo systemctl start docker
    • Verify that the MINER_WALLET_ADDRESS environment variable is correctly set in the docker run command

Problem 2: Logs not updating

  • Solution:
    • Check if the container is running:
      docker ps
    • Restart the container if necessary:
      docker restart flxtime

Problem 3: Miner not showing on the console

  • Solution:
    • Ensure that your wallet address matches the one used during setup.
    • Verify the container’s network access. If the host network is being used, ensure it’s properly configured.

Problem 4: Outdated miner version

  • Solution:
    • Stop and remove the current container:
      docker stop flxtime && docker rm flxtime
    • Pull the latest image:
      docker pull sicnull/flxtime
    • Restart the miner with the updated image using the same docker run command from FlxTime™ Installation Guide for Crankk Gateways

Monitoring Logs for Docker

  • Use the following command to monitor the container logs in real time:
  sudo docker logs -f flxtime

Verification (Optional)

To confirm the device is running correctly:

  • Go to Flxtime Console
  • Connect your Solana wallet, and you need to do this to check if your miner is submitting proofs.
  • If the status reads “Status: ON”, your miner is working properly.
