Local Ton boot time

[dkatzan]

Hi, looking at the logs while starting up a node, it looks like it take around a minute or more to finish loading specifically I see: [MyLocalTon - genesis Status Monitor] INFO org.ton.actions.MyLocalTon - genesis is not ready in intervals of 15 sec like 4-6 times before it's ready

is there anything I can do in the config\setup to get it up faster?

context is that we are planning to use this for some tests as part of our CI pipeline, and it will add non negligible time to it

thx

@dkatzan Hi! Could you run MyLocalTon in docker for a long time? I am trying to do the same thing right now and am having problems with block generation. After about 500 blocks all generation stops. It looks like lite-client could not get any data.

[dkatzan]

Still working on getting my setup going, but I did let it run for a while and recached a few thousands I'm running java -jar MyLocalTon-arm64.jar nogui ton-http-api

[undron]

Can you try to wait at least 600 blocks? Will it still work?

[dkatzan]

I did, I wrote it already reached a few thousands

[undron]

Nevermind, I have the same problem on the local machine, despite of Docker

[dkatzan]

Sure, but I'm seeing some issues now as well, my genesis block got out of sync at block 483

FROM ubuntu:24.04

RUN chmod +x /app/dockerentrypoint.sh

the dockerentrypoint.sh file contains

java -jar MyLocalTon-arm64.jar nogui ton-http-api

wait

[dkatzan]

Which version of localton are u using?

[undron]

The last one, v111, but on v110 there was the same result. Anyway, on Windows it pass more than 1200 blocks without any issues.

[dkatzan]

Are u sure u are having the same issue in v110? I just tried twice with v111, and got out of sync after ±400 blocks with v110 I'm already at 3000

[undron]

Not sure, will check tomorrow

[undron]

v110 failed after 1238 blocks.

Definitely, the genesis node should not stop without any reason, I will take a look at this. Regarding MyLocalTon in Docker - I see many people doing this, but I must say this is an inefficient way. I will come up with an optimal Docker version of MyLocalTon soon.
