Password Issue
error authenticating keystore: unable to decrypt encrypted key ring: could not decrypt key with given password
This is waht i get once i run this comman d and try to set the password cd ~/.chainlink && docker run -p 6688:6688 -v ~/.chainlink:/chainlink -it --env-file=.env smartcontract/chainlink:1.1.0 local n
Could you please add the whole output of the command, version of the chainlink node you're using, and all of the commands you're running?
Great! But one could always be in a different environment, maybe running some different commands, or something else happens. Can you please reproduce and add as much detail as possible here?
i did on ubuntu all right for sure i tried it 4 times on diff server these are the steps i followed:
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
mkdir ~/.chainlink
echo "ROOT=/chainlink
LOG_LEVEL=debug
ETH_CHAIN_ID=1
CHAINLINK_TLS_PORT=0
SECURE_COOKIES=false
ALLOW_ORIGINS=*" > ~/.chainlink/.env
echo "ETH_URL=infura wss url" >> ~/.chainlink/.env
echo "DATABASE_URL=postgres://url from heroku" >> ~/.chainlink/.env
cd ~/.chainlink && docker run -p 6688:6688 -v ~/.chainlink:/chainlink -it --env-file=.env smartcontract/chainlink:1.1.0 local n
After running the run chainlink node it asks me to set the password and when i set the password and hit enter it says this: error authenticating keystore: unable to decrypt encrypted key ring: could not decrypt key with given password
It sounds like you already have a private key encrypted. Do you have a ~/.chainlink/tempkeys folder with a keystore file in there?
It sounds like your database is also already looking for a private key. I'd recommend starting with a fresh database and deleting the .chainlink folder too (assuming you don't have any money in the node already)
