FAQ

Common issues to check first!

1. Ensure the RP (node) is running the latest Lilypad version for your preferred environment
2. Does the RP have enough Lilypad Tokens (LP) and Arbitrum ETH?
3. Updating and restarting the Lilypad services regularly (daily) is encouraged throughout IncentiveNet.

Run a node (Resource Provider - RP)

How do I keep track of Lilypad version releases and other important announcements?

The updates-rp Discord channel is the primary location for Resource Provider announcements. Announcements in this channel are also posted on the Lilypad updates page.

Lilypad supports Resource Providers using the Docker find instructions here.

If this doesn't solve the problem, raise a ticket with our team.

How can I check the status of my Lilypad RP once it's running?

To check if the RP is running use the following command:

docker logs resource-provider

This will give a live output from the Lilypad node. The logs will show the node running and accepting jobs on the network.

Run the following command to get info from Bacalhau

docker logs bacalhau

Can I become a Lilypad RP with just a CPU and no GPU?

Resource Providers can run on the Lilypad Network without a GPU, however only hardware with a GPU is currently rewarded with Lilybit_ rewards.

Checking Docker Runtime

To verify your Docker runtime configuration: sudo docker info | grep Runtimes

You should see the NVIDIA runtime listed. If you only see: Runtimes: io.containerd.runc.v2 runc you will need to configure the NVIDIA runtime.

Configuring NVIDIA Runtime

If the NVIDIA runtime is not showing up or you're experiencing issues, try the following:

1. Configure the NVIDIA Container Toolkit runtime: sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker --set-as-default 2. Restart the Docker service: sudo systemctl restart docker

Overview of Docker setup

For a comprehensive overview of your Docker setup, use: docker info. This command provides detailed information about your Docker daemon configuration.

My docker RP is turning on, but showing errors stating it is not providing a Resource Offer.

Typically this occurs when an old version of Lilypad is still running on the instance.

1. Ensure the Bacalhau and Lilypad systemd services are stopped and removed.

sudo systemctl stop bacalhau

sudo systemctl stop lilypad-resource-provider

1. Disable the systemd services so they start on boot:

sudo systemctl disable bacalhau

sudo systemctl disable lilypad-resource-provider

1. Delete the service files from the systemd directory.

**Note: Be extremely careful when using sudo to remove files.

 sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/bacalhau.service

 sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/lilypad-resource-provider.service

1. Reload the systemd daemon to apply the changes.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Can I run a Lilypad RP on Windows?

Lilypad RPs currently only support Linux installs. Running a RP on Windows is currently experimental.

How do I run multiple GPU’s on one server?

Recommendation guide using Proxmox found here. More on this coming soon!

Can I run multiple Lilypad RPs on one GPU?

No, this would be considered detrimental to the Lilypad network and cannot be rewarded at this time.

In order to run jobs successfully, Lilypad RPs must ensure all resources on the server are available. If a single GPU is running many RPs and splitting the server resources between them, this causes each RP to not have enough resources to run a Lilypad job.

How do I setup a personal RPC for Arbitrum Sepolia?

Here's a quick guide on setting up your own RPC for a Lilypad node.

CompatNotSupportedOnDevice Error

The CUDA version of the RP does not match the GPU driver. Please refer to this Nvidia GPU Driver guide to repair installation.

Unknown Error Code: 222

Indicates that the CUDA version of the RP is incorrect. Install the CUDA version which suitable for the gpu type and compile Lilypad by themselves.

Lilypad IncentiveNet details

When do Lilybit_ rewards earned or rewards slashed appear in the Leaderboard? **The leaderboard is currenlty under maintanence, find Lilybits earned by RPs here.

Are there required updates needed to maintain my node software with Lilypad on IncentiveNet?

Resource providers are expected to have the latest Lilypad version installed on their systems. The installation instructions can be found here:

• Docker

To stay up to date with the latest releases, check the updates-rp channel in the Lilypad Discord or visit the Lilypad GitHub. Along the top menu, click the "Watch" dropdown and you will see a section named "Custom". Selecting "Releases" will allow you to get notified of any new releases!

Can Lilybit rewards be sent to another wallet? Will this function be added in the future?

Currently, it's not possible. However, it's a very good feature request and the team is evaluating!

I’m getting an error of “invalid hex character 'r' in private key”

This is more than likely due to you trying to export your mnemonic seed phrase instead of the private key. A private key typically appears like this: 4c0883a69102937d6231471b5dbb6204fe512961708279df95b4a2200eb6b5e7 and consists of 64 hexadecimal characters.

Check out the MetaMask official guide to retrieve your private key.
