Unable to start algorand and indexer node

General
1

I am having trouble bringing up the sandbox node. I have seen a few other threads on this and they all point to a docker/WSL 2 issue but I’ve followed all the steps to fix that and I’m still getting the same error:
“”"
Starting sandbox for: testnet
see sandbox.log for detailed progress, or use -v.

  • docker containers started!
  • waiting for services to initialize.
    the following did not start:
  • algorand node
  • indexer node
    One or more services failed to start.
    “”"

heres the output of sandbox.log:

  • docker compose up -d

When I try “sudo docker compose up” the algorand node starts successfully but the indexer does not:

/tmp/start.sh: line 29: /tmp/algorand-indexer: No such file or directory

Using sudo can create issues with permission.

Can you:

  1. re-clone sandbox in a fresh folder without sudo?
  2. reset Docker to factory default (assuming you don’t use it for anything else): Overview | Docker Documentation
  3. be sure Docker is the latest version

Then, can you run:

./sandbox up -v

in WSL 2. (I’m assuming you want to create a private network as TestNet/MainNet on sandbox don’t support indexer.)

If it fails, can you send the full output (ideally in a separate system such as github gist as it may be long) as well as:

  • OS version
  • Docker version
  • sandbox version (git rev-parse HEAD)
