Some thing wrong with my steps ?

[smartcontracts]

Hmmm yeah something weird going on here, I can't reproduce at all. What version of docker-compose are you using?

[UnkonwnCode]

How to do with this? i have the same error.

[0xsShady]

Hi! I have the exacly same problem :(

I did the same steps and getting the same error.

DATA_TRANSPORT_LAYER__L1_RPC it's working bc it's syncing:

but when I check the l2geth-replica log I'm getting the same issue.

any thoughts?

[0xsShady]

alo? any solution?:S

[smartcontracts]

Am looking into this again now.

[smartcontracts]

@0xsShady @primejacks are you running this on a machine that's already running a Geth instance for Ethereum?

[0xsShady]

hi @smartcontracts I've just clonned the monorepo + modified the .env (clonned from mainnet.env)

COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=op-replica COMPOSE_FILE=replica.yml:replica-shared.yml:replica-toml.yml ETH_NETWORK=mainnet DATA_TRANSPORT_LAYER__L1_RPC_ENDPOINT=https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/INFURAID DATA_TRANSPORT_LAYER__L2_RPC_ENDPOINT=https://mainnet.optimism.io REPLICA_HEALTHCHECK__ETH_NETWORK_RPC_PROVIDER=https://mainnet.optimism.io SEQUENCER_CLIENT_HTTP=https://mainnet.optimism.io SHARED_ENV_PATH=../envs/mainnet GCMODE=archive L2GETH_IMAGE_TAG=latest DTL_IMAGE_TAG=latest HC_IMAGE_TAG=latest L2GETH_HTTP_PORT=9991 L2GETH_WS_PORT=9992 DTL_PORT=7878 GETH_INIT_SCRIPT=check-for-chaindata-berlin.sh

RESTART=unless-stopped

And then I run the command docker-compose up. It seems that DATA_TRANSPORT_LAYER__L1_RPC it's working bc it's syncing but l2geth-replica log it's showing the problem above.

[jacquesvcritien]

Same issue here, any solution please?

[jacquesvcritien]

So, apparently, the issue here was lack of RAM. This happens because the first time l2geth runs, it gets killed and then upon restart, it tries to fetch the genesis block which is not there. Increasing to 8GB RAM fixed the issue for us @0xsShady and @smartcontracts.

[0xsShady]

Hi! thanks for the reply!

Where do I have to change it exacly?

Ah, fascinating. That would explain why it's working on my machine. I'll make sure to add 8GB RAM as a requirement in the docs.

[0xsShady]

My computer has more than 8GB of RAM, do I have to change any var to "dedicate" them to the replica node?

[jacquesvcritien]

Make sure to remove the docker containers with docker-compose down -v and then try docker-compose up -d again

[0xsShady]

Now It seems to be working...but I don't understand what changed from the last time I did docker-compose down -v and then docker-compose up -d

[SmoothBot]

Has anyone found a solution to this? I have the same problem.

[smartcontracts]

Has anyone found a solution to this? I have the same problem.

Increase the amount of RAM given to L2Geth, then docker compose down -v and docker compose up -d again

Increase the amount of RAM given to L2Geth, then docker compose down -v and docker compose up -d again

how can I do that?

[smartcontracts]

Closing, make sure to run l2geth with enough RAM
