Impossible to connect to local EVM network instance

[lucianoacsilva]

Hello,

When trying to run the services described in docker-compose file, the ingestion service does not recognize the local EVM network running at port 8545. I passed the en variable NODE_ENDPOINT as described in the README.md file, but the logs of the service return "Connection Refused", as shown below:

java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to /172.16.239.1:8545

Someone know how could I solve these issue?

I am running the command as follows:

NODE_ENDPOINT=http://172.16.239.1:8545 docker-compose up

I am running both the explorer and the local EVM network on a WSL 2 distribution.

I had a similar error. What fixed it for me was changing NODE_ENDPOINT to http://host.docker.internal:8545 instead of http://localhost:8545. My Besu network was hosted on Docker, don't know if yours is.
