Connecting cardano-node with httpProvider?

Hi,

has anyone had success with connecting to a remote node using the httpProvider settings?

I've tried node version 1.30.1 and 1.29.0 - both fail to connect via httpProvider. Tried looking into the official node docker itself, it seems like the cardano-node is returning empty server responses. Has this feature been deprecated or is there something else I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Could you please share the code you are using for such connection and the errors you are getting?

I have the same question.

I'm running cardano-relay and cardano-node on docker.
Do we need a cardano-submit-api server from here? https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

Which server should we connect to, and what port should we expose on the server?

The correct way to connect is via Berry-Pool/cardanocli-rest.

I put these servers in a docker-compose env. But beware of some issues with the cardano-node, sometimes it would lose unix socket connection to the synced blockchain file (such as when restarting docker-compose) and would take over 24h to resync.

Thanks, that worked!

For reference, I made a docker for cardano-cli-rest here
