If you are encountering an error dialing seed on your Heimdall node, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue. Here are some things to try:
1. Check whether your Heimdall node is configured with the latest seeds as listed on the node setup documents.
If you are not using the latest seeds, update your configuration to use the correct ones.
2. If you’re still encountering the error, after either updating to the latest seeds or confirming that you are using the right seeds, you may need to clear the addrbook.json file. To do this, follow the steps below.
STEP 1: Open the config.toml file in your terminal
vi /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml
STEP 2: Stop heimdalld service
sudo service heimdalld stop
STEP 3: Clear your addrbook
sudo service heimdalld stop cp /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json.bkp rm /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json
STEP 4: Increase max_num_inbound_peers and max_num_outbound_peers in
/var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml:
max_num_inbound_peers = 300 max_num_outbound_peers = 100
STEP 5: Start heimdalld service with the following command
sudo service heimdalld start
