Unable to connect to BTC-CORE on Umbrel

  • Hi, I know this question has been asked before but haven’t come across anyone having trouble with the BTC-CORE running on Umbrel. in our case WordPress is running on a Godaddy hosted server and BTC-Core is running on our own servers and we have firewalls open in test environment but still can’t connect the wallet module on wordpress to BTC-CORE. The error seems to be network related.

    Wallet not ready: DSWallets\Bitcoin_Core_Like_Wallet_Adapter: JSON-RPC command getwalletinfo failed with: Failed to connect to X.X.X.X port 8332 after 1000 ms: Couldn’t connect to server

    Umbrel uses it’s own config file for BTC-CORE and passes it to BTC-CORE config file as an “include”. in bitcoin.conf file based on the posts here I have added rpcbind = “same IP as the BTC-CORE machine” What else should be done in the config to allow for incoming connection?

    You mentioned that you have “firewalls open”.

    Have you contacted Godaddy engineers and discussed the firewall? You need to tell them to open port 8332 for you.

    You were correct to use rpcbind. Try to also use rpcallowip with CIDR notation.

    Something like rpcallowip=X.X.X.X/8 where X.X.X.X is your WordPress IP should work.

    Let me know how it goes. Best of luck
