pi-gen: Could not connect to powchain endpoint

I boot the first time my raspberry with an ssd attached, I can see that it install a few things, then reboot. But then I see this fail log on syslog, I think it’s fatal, so geth and prysm is not syncing, right?

Nov 30 19:50:30 ethnode-287315211 beacon-chain[1656]: time="2020-11-30 19:50:30" level=error msg="Could not connect to powchain endpoint" error="could not dial eth1 nodes: Post "http://localhost:8545": dial tcp [::1]:8545: connect: connection refused" prefix=powchain

I’ve the right port opened on my router

@monossido just made my day. --http flag was missing also in my image.

@jahnludvik I solved using infura service for eth1 node and configured prysm to use it. Now my raspberry node is on mainnet working like a charm (Effectiveness 100%)

Though it’s possible to run geth on the same raspberry I chose to not do that in order to save resources for prysm validator.

If you want to run geth and prysm on you own I suggest to understand how it works and configure it manually. The img is not ready out of the box.
