Issues

If the node2 shouldn't connect the configured IP address in the "/node2/addPeer.js". The IP address of Node can be determined with:

# Ccheck if the peer node1 is connected
docker exec -it node2 sh
geth attach ipc:/root/ethereum/geth.ipc
admin.peers # if this command returns an empty list then node2 is not connected to node1. I
exit. 

# Determine the IP of node1
docker exec -it node2 sh
getent hosts node1 | awk '{ print $1 }'
