Ubuntu harvester not connecting to Windows Farmer

[nomadengineer]

Hi,
I have a full node setup on windows.
I am setting up an ubuntu 20.04 harvester.

Did all the relevant configurations on the ubuntu harvester:

• chia keys add
• copied and init with ca certs from main node
• updated config file with IP of main node as farmer_peer under harvester section.
• farmer_peer:
  host: 172.31.17.130
  port: 8447
• disabled upnp
• started harvester

I am not able to see any connection on the main node's windows chia gui, the log shows nothing.
The harvester log shows the following over and over.

2021-05-02T06:35:15.125 harvester harvester : INFO Reconnecting to peer {'host': '172.31.17.130', 'port': 8447}
2021-05-02T06:35:49.123 harvester harvester : INFO Reconnecting to peer {'host': '172.31.17.130', 'port': 8447}

I have checked all security rules. added exception in firewall.

So it seems the main CHIA node needs to restart as well apparently for it to connect!
I cannot add harvesters on the fly? :(

Hi, Could you solve it?, I want do it the same, but I don't have any idea.

Hi,
So sometimes it does not show in the Harvester Network list, BUT its plots are showing up in the Last Attempted Proof section.
So if the number of plots in your harvester are visible in the Last Attempted Proof section as 0/xxx then you are fine!
