A place to discuss running Farcaster hubs.

To run your own hub go to thehubble.xyz

hubs

Released Hubble 0.19.3 which pushes version expiry to May 15. This will be the last hubble update. If you are still running hubs, please switch to snapchain instead of upgrading. Please reach out if you run into any issues with the migration.

Snapchain is now live! 

Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows. 

I recorded a new beginner friendly video series to explain how this works:

are the hubs ok?
getting an error where the hub thinks my message is 500+MB but the size before submission is around 300B.

Snapchain is launching soon! 

It's a blockchain like system that will be 10x - 100x faster than hubs and much more reliable when syncing between Farcaster apps. 

If you don't run a hub, no action is needed. If you do run a hub you will need to:  

- Set up a Snapchain node before Mar 29th 
- Cut over to reading / writing from your node before  Apr 12
- Shut down your hubs after Apr 15th

More details in next cast.

Is there a hub version that we will know that is snapchain?

latest hub snapshot size is getting bigger. Anybody know if it is possible to run the hub without sysncing very old data?

trying to run the replicator by following instructions here 

think i am able to start the worker, but the backfill command gives the error 
- Failed to get max fid.

Any idea what may be happening? I set the env MAX_FID and also tried having it directly in the command itself.

My newly installed hub get stuck after reaching 100% of storage cache sync. Any help, appreciated.

Farcaster

What has happen with farcaster 1.16.0 ?

Failed to get latest snapshot from https://download.farcaster.xyz/snapshots/MAINNET/DB_SCHEMA_11/latest.json [AxiosError: Request failed with status code 404]

Same issue here...
My hub is down because it can't restart, as the snapshot url is unavailable.
Any info about this ?

I'm writing a script to map hubs.

When I call GetCurrentPeers() the list returned will have some duplicate entries for the same gossip IP. For example, 46.175.223.29 will be reported two times, one as 1.15.5 and one as as 1.15.4, with two different timestamps.

What's the explanation? How do I interpret these entities?

We have been using our hub for reads, and started testing writes today. 
Suddenly all incoming peer connections dropped. Any Insights why?
