I'm trying to get a basic version of Stellar Core setup in Docker using the stellar/quickstart
image.
One of the problems I'm running into tho is that the state
is stuck at Catching up
or Joining SCP
. It seems like it's making progress and new ledgers are being added, but most of the time it's still Catching up
or Joining SCP
.
There was one time I saw it at Synced!
, but a few seconds later it went back to Catching up
or Joining SCP
.
The status
does change frequently between different tasks, so it does seem like it's trying to get caught up and synced with everything, but it's almost like the network is moving faster than Stellar Core can keep up. I'm running this on a Mac Mini tho, which seems to have enough power for other tasks, so I'd be pretty surprised if it isn't up for handling this. And if that is the case then running Stellar Core requires an extremely powerful machine to run.
Is this normal? If not, any ideas on how to fix this?
