reth-indexer reads directly from the reth db and indexes the data into traditional and alternative databases / datastores (postgres, GCP bigquery, etc) all decoded with a simple config file and no extra setup alongside exposing a API ready to query the data.

Failed to initialize reth factory: "Could not open database make sure reth node is syncing and readable

I'm getting the following error:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to initialize reth factory: "Could not open database make sure reth node is syncing and readable"', src/indexer.rs:206:10

[2023-07-18T21:23:59Z ERROR reth_database_reader::provider] Error opening database: Could not open database at path: /ethereum/drive1/share/reth/mainnet/db

I'm running a server with two dics:

  • On disc 1, I'm running the reth node, postgres, and the indexer on disc 1
  • On disc 2 I'm running the db for the reth node

I've given the indexer access to the db folder, updated the config to point to the folder located in disc 2. It seems that the indexer is having trouble reading the folder location, any ideas what might resolve this?

Also interested in this!

Hmm sounds like a permission issue; all this is doing is using reth_db lib and passing over the path to connect to the database, it's doing nothing special, so it is either:

  1. the path is not correct (unlikely)
  2. the process running the indexer has insufficient permissions to access and read the database directory < it is worth checking this as it most likely is a permission issue

ls -ld /ethereum/drive1/share/reth/mainnet/db to see permission may need chmod or chown stuff, also try to ls into that directory from that user also

I am 99% it is a permission thing - sorry i cant help more will leave ticket open let me know what you find
