Describe the issue
Seeing these errors on port 8444, is port blocked on my end or target host?

How can I tell whether my system is functioning properly long term to actual earn Chia or forever stuck with hidden issues underneath?

I have the same errors in the logs, fun-fact my errors are from 'None' :D - I think this has todo with the 1.1.4 to 1.1.5 update which seem to desync the network a bit until everyone has updated.

Just a couple of errors in the log, as far as I can tell, no problems otherwise. node is sync and farming.

thanks for boost in confidence... since I have only 10 plots so far, I am not really sure if I am on track to earning any chia or just wishful thinking

In the end it's a matter of luck :D - whether you have the best proof for a block in your plots or not. For professional farming 1TiB is very low. But if you have the space, fill it and let it run. I currently filling my NAS, and will remove plots again when I need space. As the chia-blockchain-docker also runs on the NAS I will only keep the wallet on my main-pc and let the NAS do. MAybe switching step by step over to pool-mining when it get's properly available. So heads up :) Could be next block could be 10 years for a block with the right challenge so you have a proper proof for it.

I have QNAP with 10T of space, so you can run docker on it?

[Plopsi]

QNAP? Don't know, should be. I have a Synology - still have to use the SSH to pull the image and create the docker, as DSM doesn't support the ghcr.io repo in the interface. A little pain when updating, but I exported the settings and can realod them afterwards and start the container in the interface.

If you are still experiencing the issues it is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of chia. Please download it from here: https://www.chia.net/downloads/

Since this issue has been open for a number of years without additional comments, we will be closing this ticket but if we have closed this ticket in error do not hesitate to reach out to us again with any followup questions, comments, or if the issue persists after an update.

Please note that upgrading major versions of chia generally requires the config.yaml to be recreated using these steps:
1. Stop chia
2. Rename the config or move it to a different directory
3. In CLI run chia init
4. Copy any custom settings from the old config to the new (plot drive directories, pool info, trusted node info, etc) - be careful here as yaml is very picky about formatting including those leading spaces
5. Start Chia
