I’ve got Start9 installed on a MacOS VM running UTM. Overall things have been working just fine, but Knots is having a lot of issues with initially syncing. It keeps timing out during the sync process and having to retry. I’ve been slowly climbing in the 80%-97% range for a good two weeks or so. I’ve tried restarting Bitcoin Knots as well as the server itself several times, but no luck. Any idea why Start9 might keep timing out during the initial sync process?
You might try giving the VM more resources. Not enough CPUs or Ram could bottleneck it. But it should work in theory. I haven’t tried Knots yet but have synced Core several times with UTM. I think Knots might be a little more resource intensive than Core

What concrete actions are “to give the VM more resources” considering Knots? How to configure its?
Those who know, please advise!
Hi there,
Rick meant that when you create a VM, you should assign more CPU and RAM to it because syncing Bitcoin requires a lot of resources. When Bitcoin times out, it usually means the VM isn’t keeping up with the syncing process.
