The change was merged. @thaonx let us know if it does not work as expected!

@thaonx @stefan-mysten I am using the latest code and this problem still exists. Have you verified it?

@qpb8023 thanks for raising this up. I have not tried it, can you provide a dockerfile?

@stefan-mysten
I did not deploy using docker, but directly deployed sui-test-validator on the cloud server and opened ports 9000 and 9123. However, the rpc and facuet of the sui-test-validator compiled by the latest main branch can only access on the cloud server. Local access to the server and access through the external network are still unavailable. The problem should be at https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/blob/main/crates/sui-test-validator/src/main.rs#L154C4-L154C4.

start command

sui genesis -f --with-faucet --working-dir=/data/genesis
./sui-test-validator --config-dir /data/genesis

Thanks @qpb8023, I'll look into it.

I don't have a cloud server to try, but running it locally on commit becfc52387ccfb6a9c68d7ab8ae5edaa95f5b664 I get:

🚀 sui % sui-test-validator

And doing a cURL I get:

When you say local access to the server and access through the external network are still unavailable, which local access are you referring to, and what server? Are you saying that when issuing the command on the server you cannot query the network?

@stefan-mysten Sorry, my statement is wrong. I compiled the latest sui-test-validator (commit: db37e3c) on the server with the IP address 192.168.6.6, and then started sui-test-validator
command: RUST_LOG="off,sui_node=info" ./sui-test-validator
Log output:

This is ok, but I execute curl --location --request POST 'http://192.168.6.6:9000' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "sui_getTotalTransactionBlocks", "params": [] }'
on my mac, this will not return any results. I can ensure that my mac can normally access the server with IP address 192.168.6.6, and the server's port 9000 is open.

hi @qpb8023, I havn't tried this yet, still waiting for the release. But I have found alternative solution to start a Localnet in docker. Just run sui genesis then sui start , it listens on 0.0.0.0 by default.
I am not quite sure what is the difference with sui-test-validator, but it sui start works for me.

sui-test-validator starts a faucet too, so if you do not need a faucet @qpb8023 you can indeed use sui genesis and sui start.

In the near future we will merge the two commands as it is a bit confusing to users.

sui-test-validator starts a faucet too

I also start faucet in entrypoint.sh in the same docker container.

#!/bin/bash

# check if /root/.sui exists
if [ ! -d "/root/.sui" ]; then
    # create /root/.sui
    /usr/local/bin/sui genesis
fi

# start sui local network
echo "Starting Sui Localnet ..."
RUST_LOG="off,sui_node=info" /usr/local/bin/sui start &

while ! curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9000 > /dev/null; do echo Waiting for Sui Localnet ...; sleep 3; done
echo "Sui Localnet is ready!"

echo "Starting Sui Faucet ..."
/usr/local/bin/sui-faucet --num-coins 10  --write-ahead-log /tmp/sui-facucel.wal --host-ip 0.0.0.0 --port 9123 &

while ! curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9123 > /dev/null; do echo Waiting for Sui Faucet ...; sleep 3; done
echo "Sui Faucet is ready!"

wait

Either or you can start seperate container for faucet, just need change the RPC endpoint to [localnet container name]:9000

@thaonx If I understand correctly, it works for you now.
@qpb8023 are you still encountering issues when following the other approach described by @thaonx?

@thaonx @stefan-mysten Run sui genesis then sui start its ok, but sui-test-validator --config-dir there are still problems. I can only call rpc on the machine where sui-test-validator is started. I can‘t call rpc on another computer to get a response.

Thanks for confirming this. We have some upcoming work on these commands, so I put a note to have a look at this!

I'm also running into this issue. It says:

local-sui-1 | Fullnode RPC URL: http://127.0.0.1:9000
local-sui-1 | Faucet URL: http://0.0.0.0:9123

And the commit fd09307 makes the Faucet work, but not yet the Fullnode RPC, which is still 127.0.0.1

Hey, is there a plan to fix the 127.0.0.1 issue?

It's still not 0.0.0.0 :(
