Multiple nodes on the same machine. KMD still uses the default data folder

Hi there!

So I recently installed algorand node and algorand devtools through the Debian install. I managed to correctly create two nodes (MainNet and TestNet). However even though for TestNet everything seems to be in order, kmd folder is in
$ALGORAND_DATA/.algorand/testnet-v1.0/kmd-v0.5

Commands like “goal wallet list” seems to be working fine on both nodes however the actual data for both is on the MainNet folder.

Is this supposed to happen?

All goal commands use the data folder $ALGORAND_DATA by default, unless a different folder is specified using the -d flag.

Right. Maybe I can be more specific hold on.

My directory structure is like this:

MainNet data folder is /var/lib/algorand
TestNet data folder is /var/lib/algorand-testnet

The former contains the structure .algorand/ → testnet-v1.0/kmd-v0.5/ and mainnet-v1.0/kmd-v0.5/
while the latter doesn’t even contain .algorand/.

What I’m saying is that the information for wallets on the TestNet node still lives inside MainNet data folder which I think it’s weird.

It is a bit strange that you have a subfolder .algorand inside /var/lib/algorand.
The fact that is contains both mainnet-v1.0 and testnet-v1.0 seems to indicate that at some point your started a node on /var/lib/algorand/.algorand both for testnet and mainnet (and you changed the genesis in between).

Does /var/lib/algorand-testnet contain genesis.json? If not, this means it is not a real data directory for Algorand?

What I would do is the following, check the list of wallets and the status for each folder, i.e., something like:

goal node status -d /var/lib/algorand
goal node status -d /var/lib/algorand/.algorand
...
goal wallet list -d /var/lib/algorand
goal wallet list -d /var/lib/algorand/.algorand
...

and for each wallet listed above, check the list of accounts:

goal account list -d /var/lib/algorand -w WALLET_NAME
...
