Running steem.justyy.com without Docker

in #blog3 days ago

A week ago, the Steem Load Balancer node https://steem.justyy.com was down see this.

It turned out the issue wasn’t with the code itself, but with running the program inside the Docker container, which for some reason fails to send requests to the outside world. I checked with ChatGPT and tried several fixes, but none of them worked. As a workaround, I added a configurable port parameter so the load balancer can run directly on the server (outside the container).

As usual, you can pull the latest image:

docker pull justyy/steem-load-balancer:latest

Steem to the Moon🚀!

The configurable port parameter is a great, practical solution.
