How to use this api together with docker-dashd

[devluist]

Hi I can't figure it out how should be set the dash.conf to listen to the daemon from a docker image (https://github.com/dashpay/docker-dashd)

I have like this

addressindex=1
txindex=1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
timestampindex=1
spentindex=1

and dashcore-node.json

It's like this

{
  "network": "livenet",
  "port": 3001,
  "services": [
    "@dashevo/insight-api",
    "dashd",
    "web"
  ],
  "servicesConfig": {
    "dashd": {
      "spawn": {
        "datadir": "/dashcore-node/dash-data",
        "exec": "/dashcore-node/dash-data/dashd"
      }
    }
  }
}

I've installed dashcore-node outside of the docker image (as i am kind new to docker development)
when a run
./bin/dashcore-node start

it says

"starting dashd"

and then it fails with error

RPCError: Dash JSON-RPC: Request Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9998

I have placed a question in SO but i'm on a deadline and nobody has answered, so please any help thank you

Hi,

      "spawn": {
        "datadir": "/dashcore-node/dash-data",
        "exec": "/dashcore-node/dash-data/dashd"
      }

This "spawn" method isn't supported by us anymore (it's terrible software architecture anyway). I recommend you start your dashd node separately, and that your dashcore-node.json file look something like this:

{
  "network": "livenet",
  "port": 3001,
  "services": [
    "dashd",
    "@dashevo/insight-api",
    "@dashevo/insight-ui",
    "web"
  ],
  "servicesConfig": {
    "dashd": {
      "connect": [{
        "rpchost": "dashcore",
        "rpcport": 9998,
        "rpcuser": "dashrpc",
        "rpcpassword": "password",
        "zmqpubrawtx": "tcp://dashcore:29998",
        "zmqpubhashblock": "tcp://dashcore:29998"
      }]
    },
    "@dashevo/insight-api": {
      "disableRateLimiter": true
    }
  }
}

Using this config, your dashd node must be reachable via the name "dashcore" (or just change the name or use an IP address).

Does this help get you closer?

@nmarley The application will not start without zmqpubrawtx in dashcore-node.json ,why?

I don't know, what error message are you seeing?
