Fixes Applied

1. Redis (VMID 106) - ✅ FIXED

Issue: Bound to localhost only, protected mode enabled

Fix Applied:

• Updated /etc/redis/redis.conf:
  • Changed bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 → bind 192.168.11.110
  • Changed protected-mode yes → protected-mode no
• Restarted redis-server service

Status: ✅ Working

• Service: Active
• Listening on: 192.168.11.110:6379
• Connectivity: ✅ Accessible from VMID 2400

---

2. Web3Signer (VMID 107) - ✅ FIXED

Issue: Service not installed/running

Fix Applied:

• Installed Java 21 JRE
• Downloaded Web3Signer 25.12.0 (182MB)
• Extracted to /opt/web3signer-25.12.0
• Created systemd service file:

  [Unit]
  Description=Web3Signer
  After=network.target
  
  [Service]
  Type=simple
  ExecStart=/opt/web3signer-25.12.0/bin/web3signer \
    --http-listen-port=9000 \
    --http-listen-host=192.168.11.111 \
    --http-host-allowlist=* \
    --data-path=/opt/web3signer/data \
    eth1 --chain-id=138
  Restart=always
  
  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
  

• Enabled and started service

Status: ✅ Working

• Service: Active (running)
• Listening on: 192.168.11.111:9000
• Health Check: ✅ curl http://192.168.11.111:9000/upcheck → OK
• Connectivity: ✅ Accessible from VMID 2400

Note: Web3Signer is running but has no signing keys configured yet. Keys need to be added for transaction signing functionality.

---

3. Vault (VMID 108) - ✅ FIXED

Issue: Service disabled, not initialized, mlock error

Fix Applied:

• Updated /etc/vault.d/vault.hcl:
  • Enabled disable_mlock = true (required for LXC containers)
  • Disabled TLS (tls_disable = 1)
  • Configured HTTP listener on 0.0.0.0:8200
• Enabled and started vault service
• Initialized Vault:
  • Key shares: 1
  • Key threshold: 1
  • Root token generated
  • Unseal key generated
• Unsealed Vault using unseal key

Status: ✅ Working

• Service: Active (running)
• Initialized: ✅ Yes
• Sealed: ❌ No (unsealed)
• Listening on: 192.168.11.112:8200
• Connectivity: ✅ Accessible from VMID 2400

Vault Credentials (saved during initialization):

• Root Token: hvs.qwiSvwKUYs8USE124kW3qSUX
• Unseal Key: c70f914aa9a7d5a9151a2f1fffbd7f724d0dac699e99648a431f675c4700a96e

Note: Vault is running in development mode (no TLS). For production, configure TLS and proper storage backend.

Verification Commands

Test Redis

ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2400 -- redis-cli -h 192.168.11.110 ping"
# Expected: PONG

Test Web3Signer

curl http://192.168.11.111:9000/upcheck
# Expected: OK

Test Vault

curl http://192.168.11.112:8200/v1/sys/health
# Expected: JSON with "initialized": true, "sealed": false

Test RPC Translator Health

curl http://192.168.11.240:9545/health
# Expected: All components healthy

Next Steps

1. ✅ All dependency services fixed - COMPLETE
2. ⏳ Configure Web3Signer signing keys (if needed for transaction signing)
3. ⏳ Configure Vault AppRole authentication (if using Vault for config management)
4. ⏳ Monitor RPC Translator health - Should show all components healthy
