`node register` fails with http get errors (connection refused)

[j4cko]

It seems I cannot register my node due to some http GETs failing:

rp --debug node register

To API:
/usr/local/bin/rocketpoold --settings /srv/rocketpool/user-settings.yml   --maxFee 0.000000 --maxPrioFee 0.000000 --gasLimit 0   api service get-client-status
API Out:

Would you like to detect your timezone automatically? [y/n]

Note that this already happens when guessing the timezone. I can manually curl the URLs just fine (from the same machine & user). I am running the native client (no docker). Any help appreciated.

One can explicitly set the gas, adding --maxFee to the call. This prevents the http.Get.

For example, using curl instead:

alias rp="rocketpool -d /usr/local/bin/rocketpoold -c /srv/rocketpool --maxFee $(curl https://beaconcha.in/api/v1/execution/gasnow | jq '.data.standard / 1e9')"

(this will get the gas price only once when sourcing / setting the alias)

Identical issues for me. Errors with connection refused when trying to register. Fails for both beaconcha.in and the fallback etherscan.

An alternative to the alias solution you suggest would be using the flag to set a fee as specified here:

https://docs.rocketpool.net/guides/node/cli-intro.html#setting-a-custom-max-fee-or-priority-fee-gas-price

So to register using 45 GWei you could use:

rocketpool -f 45 node register

Not sure what is causing the underlying issue with the http GETs.
