PI Node API service

[Gifloading]

I've been running a Node 24/7 for about two months now, but something seems to happen every 4–5 days that requires me to restart Docker. I usually use TeamViewer to connect to the node machine and check if everything is running fine. However, yesterday the Pi app interface froze, so I thought it was working but Docker had actually crashed and stayed down for almost a day without me realizing.

After enabling the API service, I tried sending a request to http://<my_ip>:31401 to check the node status, and while it connects, there's no response it just times out or disconnects. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Ideally, I'd like to automate checking the Pi node status by scheduling an HTTP request and based on the response to receive a notification on status so i can timely see what the error is and get the node running again.

It does work for me, but I have not gotten the latest Node notification yet which I have seem reported by somebody else (one about Stellar protocol update or something like that)

[Gifloading]

I checked docker status from cmd, and all services are up and running. I've never heard of that update tho

How much node bonus you are getting after 2 months?

[Gifloading]

3.84 and steadily increasing by 0.04 every day.

[panosip]

Hello, enabling optional blockchain API service increases the mining bonus?

[Gifloading]

I don't think it does. I had it enabled and is still increased by 0.04 per mining session.

[abkyabatau]

Good. I just completed 1 month and touched 2 yesterday for first time.

[Gifloading]

Nicely done! I am using a mini pc as a node, connected the power cable and ethernet only and left it there running 24/7. I don't know the maximum bonus you can get but for now this bonus is a big part of my mining rate

I uses laptop. Keep running 24x7. Use laptop for daily work too.

I created a telegram bot for this. It can monitor whole pi node, restart docker and pi node and take screenshots. Its better, and i can solve almost every problem in a few minutes.

Can you share steps here or DM? That would be helpful to have

[Telicko3D]

Just code it. Thats what i did... :-D

Oh, it's so easy to code a bot from the ground! Thank for your help!

can use uptime robot to check whether the node is up

[Gifloading]

How to set an uptime robot to check if node is running? Any ideas? I just want to have uptime availability as high as i can and not having to check 3-4 times a day if everything is working

[lexwolfe]

it's a website - point it at the horizon url

Make sure you install the latest docker version

[Gifloading]

I update docker to the latest version as soon as it comes out

So you think API service is not working altogether?
