how to use --bind-addr

[Manan006]

How do I list all the ips connected through the mesh?

And I get this when I try to use --bind-addr

FATA[0000] could not create cluster: Could not set up network transport: failed to obtain an address: Failed to start TCP listener on "x.x.x.x" port 7946: listen tcp x.x.x.x:7946: bind: cannot assign requested address

Edit : forgot to mention here's my /etc/hosts on the first node -

127.0.0.1   localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost   ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
127.0.1.1   flyingfish  flyingfish```

For some reason, it now has the ip in /etc/hosts, but I'd like to know what's a good way to get a static ip?

edit: The IP seems to be going away and coming back randomly for no reason

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean the underlying IPs of the participating nodes, or the overlay IPs inside the mesh? --bind-addr is only relevant if your node has multiple IPs and you want it to use a specific one to build your mesh on. The overlay IP address (i.e.: the one used inside the mesh and that should pop up in your /etc/host) is calculated automatically by wesher and will only change if your hostname changes.

You should see more info if you start wesher with --log-level info.
