Setup a Pi Node - A Complete Guide (2023)

This video will walk you through the steps of pi node setup windows 11 PC. The Pi Node setup does have a series of small steps that needs to ensure it can properly connect to the network, so make sure you follow ALL the steps. Please note, according to the latest docs, the Pi Consensus container only uses three ports: 31401, 31402 and 31403, the others stay closed. So if you cant get them all open, it seems to be okay.

what special effect are u using as the transition? It sounds like the sound of camera captur

Came here to see if I missed something in setup because after almost 24 hours of running, I'm still on local block 1. Back to hunting for answers and waiting 😂

[@igotcha1345]

Seems to be working fine for me after I reinstalled it on Windows 11. Takes a few days if your selected to be a node

[@mtcleric3275]

Hi, I have a few questions. How much percentage will it add to the mining for each node? Does the mining rate increase if you have a more powerful computer? Can we have more than 1 node / account?

[@williammunoz5312]

hi, please, can you help me to open the ports?, or can you to do a video about it?, thanks!

[@MalcolmJubinville]

It seems there is something broken between the Pi Node app and Docker that will not allow the program to properly check ports and allow the program to proceed past the port listener steps. I was able to get the node-port-test container working by running the command: docker run --name node-port-test --env PORTS="31400,31401,31402,31403,31404,31405,31406,31407,31408,31409" -p 31400-31409:31400-31409 ese7en/node-port-test which opened the ports correctly but the Pi Node app will still not allow the program to proceed forward. It looks like we are stuck until the Pi Network team fixes the application? If you have an updated video that you can share with what is going on, that would be amazing. Thanks!

Hello! I have a difficulty. I have followed the video to the later and i have reached the part where they tell me this... " Unable to reach network, please provide the IP/domain of a known node to connect to, as well as an alternative URL to download history from". please can you help?

[@Markuz1775]

Yes, but what does the Pi node actually do ? Does it increase the Pi coins earned in 1 day? IS it useful to have it on?

Can you help me install my Node? I installed Docker and Pi Network app but when I click on the Node button it just takes me to a load screen that never actually loads. The screen loads before I install Docker, but once it is fully installed the Node screen won't load, so I am not able to connect my ports.

[@MB-fn4ii]

Help! Upon restart, my laptop suddenly won't boot and is only stuck at black screen. Need help ASAP! 🙏 I'm actually serious about this! I followed everything in this guide only to end up causing me harm! edit: thankfully I looked up online to find a way to get back in, which is safe mode. I got it back safely. However, the issue bout making the node is still left unsolved.

How much Pi can I earn form the node? On daily or hourly basis?

This is basic a PI node install and not setup. I guess there is lots of setup and add ons after this point.

It's actually the way it should work... the problem is the Pi Node app seems to be broken atm...

It doesn't use much data, you should be fine but really depends on your internet plan

[@lootbuzz]

Is it possible to run node on a dhcp connection ?

[@MalcolmJubinville]

Yes - you probably need to ensure you have port forwarding configured to you local machine to ensure that ports (31400-31409) are getting to the right machine

[@naturetoday6531]

What is advantage

after docker installation, got an erro of wsl, not able to resolve

virtualization turned on in bios?

[@ryano8002]

I never get passed the "downloading ports listener" it just goes back to grey for me.

[@tylerrlue]

i got around this issue by port forwarding, then when I still had the issue, I turned off the app and edited the 'user-preferences.json' file and added "containerFlavor":"stellar" between dockerimage and portscheckpassed - which i also set to true. then after that i turned the pi network app back on and it skipped the port and docker screen and started the container. then when i tested whether the ports were open, this time it said they were. hope this helps

You do need an external public IP for this to work properly

[@SanongPenmongkol]

@@mattjoe19 1. Open ports in window firewall 2. If you run private IP, you need to forward traffic from outside (wan) to your private IP in router. If you use public IP then no need to do this 3. Do windows Update to latest 4.install powershell 5. Install wsl, wsl2. Reboot. 6. Set default wsl2 7. Install docker 8. Test ports Only work if you have dummy image running. It will run and stop in few minutes later. That is fine. 9. When turn on node it will kick off new image to run node. Here you will know it work or not. You need to keep it run long hours to update Blockchain before seeing bonus. Window page file X2 amount of ram

Hi getting TypeError: ports[i].trim is not a function

[@user-qb4bz8jk5s]

you dont need to install/run a port checker. All you need is port forwarding. As long as you did it right, the node will run.

[@user-qb4bz8jk5s]

To do port forwarding, you need to set it on your router. Also don't forget to allow the traffics on your firewall for the range of ports

@@user-qb4bz8jk5s will the super node also run properly without the specific test passed?
