[server_state:disconnected, #peers:0, rippled on fedora] (Version: [rippled 1.8.5])

[vs666]

This issue is similar to issue #3240

Issue

I tried to install rippled on Fedora 35. However the server_state shows disconnected (after giving enough time to sync up).

Possible problems

I tried the following commands :

sudo rippled peers

And the output was

{
    "result"  :  {
        "cluster"  :  {},
        "peers"  :  null,
        "status"  :  "success"
}

On the rippled website the possible reason for no peers is the system date-time not being correct, but that is not the case in my system. I tried to manually connect to peers using :

sudo rippled connect s2.ripple.com 51235
sudo rippled connect [some other IP] 51235 

Both time, the output was connecting, but no connection was established. I also disabled firewall to allow connecting to peers.

The reporting from the RPC should certainly be improved, and a new command showing the status of connections that were recently attempted or are in progress would be good.
