Blockscout Explorer Fix - Status Report

Date: $(date)
Status: ⚠️ IN PROGRESS - Manual Steps Required

---

Current Situation

The Blockscout explorer container (VMID 5000) exists and is running on node pve2 in the Proxmox cluster.

Issues Identified

1. ✅ Container exists and is running on pve2
2. ⚠️ Blockscout service may not be installed/configured
3. ❌ Nginx reverse proxy not installed
4. ❌ Cloudflare DNS/tunnel not configured

Cluster Configuration

• Cluster Nodes: ml110, pve, pve2
• Container Location: pve2
• Container VMID: 5000
• Container IP: 192.168.11.140 (DHCP assigned)
• Container Hostname: blockscout-1

---

Scripts Created

All fix scripts have been created and are available:

1. ✅ scripts/install-nginx-blockscout.sh - Nginx installation
2. ✅ scripts/configure-cloudflare-explorer.sh - Cloudflare configuration
3. ✅ scripts/fix-blockscout-explorer.sh - Comprehensive fix script
4. ✅ scripts/deploy-and-fix-blockscout.sh - Complete deployment script

Note: The scripts have cluster-awareness issues when using pct exec commands because the container is on a different node (pve2) than where the commands are executed (ml110).

---

Manual Steps Required

Since the container is on pve2 but we're executing from ml110, some manual steps are needed:

Option 1: Execute Commands Directly on pve2 Node

SSH to pve2 and run commands there:

# Find pve2's IP address first
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pvecm nodes | grep pve2"

# Then SSH to pve2 (adjust IP if needed)
ssh root@<pve2-ip>

# Install Blockscout if not already installed
cd /opt/blockscout || cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/smom-dbis-138-proxmox
# Run installation script if needed

# Install and configure Nginx
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
bash scripts/install-nginx-blockscout.sh 5000 192.168.11.140

Option 2: Use Proxmox API (pvesh)

Commands can be executed via the Proxmox API, but functionality is limited compared to direct pct exec.

Option 3: Copy Scripts to Container and Run Inside

# Copy script to container
pct push 5000 /path/to/script.sh /tmp/script.sh

# Execute inside container
pct exec 5000 -- bash /tmp/script.sh

---

Recommended Approach

Step 1: Verify Blockscout Installation

ssh root@192.168.11.10
pct exec 5000 -- systemctl status blockscout
pct exec 5000 -- docker ps
pct exec 5000 -- ls -la /opt/blockscout

Step 2: Install Nginx (Run from Proxmox host on any node)

ssh root@192.168.11.10
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox

# The install script should work if run from the Proxmox host
bash scripts/install-nginx-blockscout.sh 5000 192.168.11.140

If that fails, try:

# Copy install script to container
pct push 5000 scripts/install-nginx-blockscout.sh /tmp/install-nginx.sh

# Modify script to run locally (remove SSH commands)
# Or run installation commands directly:
pct exec 5000 -- bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y nginx"
pct exec 5000 -- bash -c "mkdir -p /etc/nginx/ssl"
# ... continue with Nginx configuration

Step 3: Configure Cloudflare

cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
# Ensure .env file exists with CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN
bash scripts/configure-cloudflare-explorer.sh

Or configure manually in Cloudflare dashboard:

• DNS: CNAME explorer.d-bis.org → .cfargotunnel.com (🟠 Proxied)
• Tunnel: explorer.d-bis.org → http://192.168.11.140:80

Next Steps

1. Test container access:

   ssh root@192.168.11.10
   pct exec 5000 -- hostname
   pct exec 5000 -- ip addr show eth0
   

2. If container is accessible, run fix script:

   cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
   bash scripts/fix-blockscout-explorer.sh 5000 192.168.11.140
   

3. If pct exec doesn't work, use direct container access:

   • Find container IP: pvesh get /nodes/pve2/lxc/5000/agent/network-get-interfaces
   • SSH directly to container if SSH is enabled
   • Or copy scripts into container and execute

4. Configure Cloudflare DNS/tunnel

5. Test: curl https://explorer.d-bis.org/health

Note: The scripts are ready to use, but may need to be executed directly on the Proxmox host or from within the container due to cluster node differences.
