Filecoin Textileio Powergate Not Enough Miners from Reputation Module to Satisfy The Constraints Error

110 views Asked by At

I am running WSL Ubuntu 20.04 (Version 2 with Docker Desktop Support) within Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1

The steps are as follows:

  1. git clone https://github.com/textileio/powergate.git
  2. cd powergate/
  3. cd docker/
  4. nano docker-compose.yaml where I added "["lotus", "daemon", "--import-snapshot", "https://fil-chain-snapshots-fallback.s3.amazonaws.com/mainnet/minimal_finality_stateroots_latest.car"]" between lines 32 and 33.
  5. make up
  6. Waited for the node to finish importing and then syncing.
  7. ^C then make down then deleted the line "["lotus", "daemon", "--import-snapshot", "https://fil-chain-snapshots-fallback.s3.amazonaws.com/mainnet/minimal_finality_stateroots_latest.car"]" from docker-compose.yaml
  8. make up
  9. Now that the node was running I typed cd .. so I was in the repo's root directory, then make install-pow
  10. with the pow command in my GOPATH I typed pow to make sure pow was linked fine to powd. It was.
  11. pow admin users create
  12. copied the token and ran export POW_TOKEN=<token copied to here>
  13. Then pow wallet addrs and funded the address
  14. I went to the directory behind the folder of my static website which is about 5GB in size.
  15. I typed pow data stage <my-static-site-folder>
  16. After it was finished staging and printed out the CID I typed pow config apply --watch <CID waited a long time while it said the job was executing and then I got...
---------------------------------------+--------------------------------+-------+-------+--------------
             <job id here>             | JOB_STATUS_FAILED executing    |       |       |
                                       | cold-storage config: making    |       |       |
                                       | deal configs: getting miners   |       |       |
                                       | from minerselector: getting    |       |       |
                                       | miners from reputation         |       |       |
                                       | module: not enough miners from |       |       |
                                       | reputation module to satisfy   |       |       |
                                       | the constraints                |       |       |

I don't understand what the problem is. I repeated the pow config apply --watch <CID command each time adding the --override flag with several different modifications to a custom config file. The content did appear briefly on IPFS (not Filecoin), but after I continued running the config apply command the site went down from IPFS.

This problem can be fixed by adding miners to the "trustedMiner" entry in the config file because pow doesn't necessary detect miners that fit your specs.

I went to a Filecoin miner info aggregation site (I used "https://filrep.io/") and added miners to the trustedMiner section of the config file used in the apply command to start a Filecoin deal.

For example the "trustedMiners" line in your config file should look like this:

"trustedMiners":  ["<Miner Id>", "<Miner Id>","<Miner Id>", "<Miner Id>", ...],

with however many miners you want to add.

Then you would execute the command:
pow config apply --watch <CID> -o -c new-config-file.json

Btw the --watch flag is optional as it just allows you to see the status of the deal in real time.
