Ok so I had a notification to update mempool to 3.1.12. I did this - I got a notification saying the update “failed” but the app is showing as 3.1.2 however it also the Mempool app says “needs config” - the only options are Lightning node select disabled Core or LND.
I am using Alby Hub and that installed its own node which is not core or LND so selecting those also throws errrors
The update of Knots also threw errorsbut again this seems to be running on latest version
Any idea how I fix this
The full Mempool error is
Install of mempool@3.2.1.2 Failed: Multiple Errors: Docker Error: Error: removing image 4dedcb881e16f16dbe0f954548c53004008a06404698f2c3e047924cf8ce3128: container a8388eaa7804ec4388d9f14d5517a9365c36c2fd3a4af69d1e9d216d6f087c2b using image could not be removed: container a8388eaa7804ec4388d9f14d5517a9365c36c2fd3a4af69d1e9d216d6f087c2b does not exist in database: no such container
Start with verifying that Bitcoin & electrs healthchecks are green. For mempool to acquire lightning data, you need a lightning node, so I’d recommend installing one of them, and connecting a peer. You don’t have to open a channel.
Restart the server. System>restart. If it continues to give you trouble, uninstall the mempool service. You can find that under actions. Then do a rebuild to repair any container damage. System>System Reuild. Then install mempool, config it for LND or CLN.
A few things are confused here, or there’s some info missing that I didn’t consider in my answer. Are you now saying that Albyhub is not working as well. This has nothing to do with the mempool service.
Apologies I am probably not explaining myself well. On the Start 9 Knots and Alby Hun are showing Green, running no errors.
After running the update Mempool was not working and had a message stating it needed to be Config (it was runninf OK before the update)
If you click config in Mempool there are 2 options (1) Enable Electrs address - Electrs is showing as satisfied & running (2) Select Lighning Node where the options are Disabled, Core and LND . I do not have Core or LND installed separately as when I installed Alby hub I chose to let it use its own node
There are no other Config options I can see. Selecting Core or LND gives an obvious error as they are not installed. Selecting Disable just leaves me with Mempool not working in a Needs Config state
I also had a notification (per initial post) the Mempool update failed but the version needing config is the updated version so I guess it did install
I have no idea what it wants me to Config in Mempool but the message suggests irt is Lightning & that is Alby Hub but there is no option to select that
Gotcha. I now realize I got confused by your typo on the mempool version number. If you are now on the latest available version, which is 3.2.1~2, but it says needs config, just open the config, save, and then start the service. This is common if something gets wonky during the update progress. No biggie.
What I was saying though is, if you want the mempool service to show lightning stats, it needs a lightning node to pull data from. So I recommend installing one. It cannot connect to the embedded light node provided by Alby Hub.
Sadly because when I didn’t know what to do I amended the config to try one of the settings to see if it worked & pressed save & it then went into stopping mode
