How to solve the node connection problem

Solution for node connection problems

It is possible that our node may sometimes have problems connecting to the gateway and starting to receive searches, as can be seen in the following examples:

2025-09-11T08:54:23.916Z info: [gateway.presearch.com] Connecting... 2025-09-11T08:55:29.932Z info: [gateway.presearch.com] Connecting... 2025-09-11T08:56:35.950Z info: [gateway.presearch.com] Connecting...

For these cases, we have some alternatives that can solve this problem.

1. Solution 1 for Linux operating system.

docker stop presearch-node ; docker rm presearch-node ; docker stop presearch-auto-updater ; docker rm presearch-auto-updater ; docker run -d --name presearch-auto-updater --network=host --restart=unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock presearch/auto-updater --log-opt max-size=10m --cleanup --interval 900 presearch-auto-updater presearch-node ; docker pull presearch/node ; docker run -dt --name presearch-node --network=host --log-opt max-size=10m -e REGISTRATION_CODE=YOUR_CODE_HERE --restart=unless-stopped -v presearch-node-storage:/app/node presearch/node ; docker logs -f presearch-node

1. Solution 2 for Linux operating system.

docker stop presearch-node ; docker rm presearch-node ; docker stop presearch-auto-updater ; docker rm presearch-auto-updater ; docker run -d --name presearch-auto-updater --restart=unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock presearch/auto-updater --cleanup --interval 900 presearch-auto-updater presearch-node ; docker pull presearch/node ; docker run -dt --name presearch-node --dns=1.1.1.1 --restart=unless-stopped -v presearch-node-storage:/app/node -e REGISTRATION_CODE=YOUR_CODE_HERE presearch/node ; docker logs -f presearch-node

Copy and paste either of these two scripts into your server to resolve the node connection issue; remember to include your node's registration code to avoid problems.

Note: If the first script doesn't work, you can try the second script.

1. Solution 1 for Windows operating system.

docker stop presearch-node & docker rm presearch-node & docker stop presearch-auto-updater & docker rm presearch-auto-updater & docker run -d --name presearch-auto-updater --restart=unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock presearch/auto-updater --log-opt max-size=10m --cleanup --interval 900 presearch-auto-updater presearch-node & docker pull presearch/node & docker run -dt --name presearch-node --log-opt max-size=10m -e REGISTRATION_CODE=YOURCODE -e STAKE=disconnected:oldest --restart=unless-stopped -v presearch-node-storage:/app/node presearch/node & docker logs -f presearch-node

1. Solution 2 for Windows operating system.

docker stop presearch-node & docker rm presearch-node & docker stop presearch-auto-updater & docker rm presearch-auto-updater & docker run -d --name presearch-auto-updater --restart=unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock presearch/auto-updater --cleanup --interval 900 presearch-auto-updater presearch-node & docker pull presearch/node & docker run -dt --name presearch-node --dns=1.1.1.1 --restart=unless-stopped -v presearch-node-storage:/app/node -e REGISTRATION_CODE=YOUR_CODE presearch/node & docker logs -f presearch-node
