Hi Everyone,

So my current configuration:

Raspberry pi nodes running ubuntu containers in host mode (11 Rpi so 1 relay node and 10 non relay nodes) No ports exposed and not sure if needed.

Each container has algorand and needed dependency installed.  
On the relay nodes created a private network and made changes to the “Endpoint:” showing the host ip and a port .  
{ “GossipFanout”: 1, “NetAddress”: “192.168.1.147:7447”, “EndpointAddress”: “127.0.0.1:0”, “DNSBootstrapID”: “”, “EnableProfiler”: true}

Started the private network with that particular relay node (goal network start -n ~/net1/Primary -r ~/net1)

Copied the genesis.json file to the other containers and then started those nodes(goal node start -d /root/net1/Node -p 192.168.1.147:7447) .

One confusion do we copy the genesis.json or the folder Node which was created with the private network ?

Errors or warnings:  
while creating private network  
WARN[0040] dbatomic: tx took 1.312044372s [callee=github.com/algorand/go-algorand/data/account.Participation.Persist.func1](http://callee=github.com/algorand/go-algorand/data/account.Participation.Persist.func1) caller=“[github.com/algorand/go-algorand@/data/account/participation.go:198](http://github.com/algorand/go-algorand@/data/account/participation.go:198)” file=dbutil.go function=“[github.com/algorand/go-algorand/util/db.(\*Accessor](http://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/util/db.(*Accessor)).Atomic” line=272 readonly=false

Every time the relay node starts and then it shutdown after some time  
Cannot contact Algorand node: Get [http://127.0.0.1:43653/v2/status:](http://127.0.0.1:43653/v2/status:) dial tcp 127.0.0.1:43653: connect: connection refused.

Am I doing something wrong . Any step which is missed out? the private network works at times before but now its causing this issue
