bitcoind – Organising and operating a number of Eclair lightning node on Linux-Kali VMware

I am a beginner dev and I am making an attempt to check out a micro service I have been engaged on. The service requires that I arrange and run a number of eclair nodes as a result of have to open chananels.

I am making an attempt to run these channels on my Kali Linux vm machine however I’ve steadily encountered error. The error has largely been “Timed out after 30 seconds”.

I adopted a number of Ai instructions however all to no avail. My bitcoin core arrange appears to work nice however the eclair is not going to connect with it.

I am making an attempt to run nthis on testnet, albeit I even tried regtest, nevertheless it’s been the identical end result.

Beneath is my Bitcoin core config settings and the eclair config settings for the 2 cases I am making an attempt to arrange.

└─$ cat ~/.eclair-node2/eclair.conf

BITCOIN CORE

─$ cat ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf    

regtest=1

server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

[regtest]
rpcport=18443
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
rpcbind=0.0.0.0

ECLAIR 1

└─$ cat ~/.eclair-node1/eclair.conf

eclair.chain=regtest
eclair.node-alias=mynode1
eclair.server.port=9735
eclair.api.enabled=true
eclair.api.port=8080
eclair.api.password=node1Pass21

eclair.bitcoind {

    host="0.0.0.0"
    rpcport=18443
    rpcuser="redpanda10"
    rpcpassword="myredpanda20"
    zmqblock="tcp://127.0.0.1:28332"
    zmqtx="tcp://127.0.0.1:28333"

  }

ECLAIR 2

eclair.chain=regtest
eclair.node-alias=mynode2
eclair.server.port=9736
eclair.api.enabled=true
eclair.api.port=8081
eclair.api.password=node2Pass22

eclair.bitcoind {

    host="0.0.0.0"
    rpcport=18443
    rpcuser="redpanda10"
    rpcpassword="myredpanda20"
    zmqblock="tcp://127.0.0.1:28332"
    zmqtx="tcp://127.0.0.1:28333"
  }

Please I wish to know what I am doing wrongly that’s stopping my eclair node from operating.
