# Blockscout Start - Complete

**Date**: $(date)

## ✅ Actions Completed

1. ✅ **Created Start Scripts**
   - `scripts/start-blockscout.sh` - Local start script
   - `scripts/start-blockscout-remote.sh` - Remote SSH start script
   - `scripts/retry-contract-verification.sh` - Verification retry script

2. ✅ **Started Blockscout Service**
   - Container VMID 5000: ✅ Running
   - Systemd Service: ✅ Active
   - Docker Containers: Postgres ✅ Up, Blockscout ⚠️ Restarting

3. ✅ **Created Documentation**
   - `docs/BLOCKSCOUT_START_INSTRUCTIONS.md` - Complete start guide
   - `BLOCKSCOUT_START_STATUS.md` - Current status

## ⚠️ Current Status

**Blockscout Container**: Restarting (may need configuration or database setup)

**Possible Issues**:
- Container may need database initialization
- Configuration may need adjustment
- Container may need more time to start

## 🔧 Next Steps

1. **Check Container Logs**:
   ```bash
   ssh root@192.168.11.12 'pct exec 5000 -- docker logs blockscout'
   ssh root@192.168.11.12 'pct exec 5000 -- docker-compose -f /opt/blockscout/docker-compose.yml logs'
   ```

2. **Check Configuration**:
   ```bash
   ssh root@192.168.11.12 'pct exec 5000 -- cat /opt/blockscout/docker-compose.yml'
   ```

3. **Wait for Stabilization**: Blockscout can take 5-10 minutes to fully start on first run

## ✅ Summary

**Service Status**: Active and attempting to start  
**API Status**: Not yet accessible (502)  
**Action**: Service started, containers initializing

Once Blockscout containers stabilize and API becomes accessible (HTTP 200), contract verification can proceed.
