Node on Raspberry Pi and connection via web3.js

Question

I have installed a geth-node on raspberry pie. Raspberry pie is connected via Ethernet. Now I am trying to connect to this node via web3.js

    var ethWeb3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://192.168.0.220:8042'));

192.168.0.220 ->is the address of device. (I connect so via terminal)

But if I check ethWeb3.isConnected(), it returns false.

My geth script is:

geth --identity "node1" --fast --networkid 42 --datadir /home/pi/ChainSkills/node --nodiscover --rpc --rpcport "8042" --port "30303" --unlock 0 --password "/home/pi/ChainSkills/node/password.sec" --ipcpath /home/pi/.ethereum/geth.ipc --dev

Where can be a mistake?

Answer 1

Try adding when starting geth

--rpcaddr 0.0.0.0

Otherwise it's listening only on the localhost

geth --identity "node1" --fast --networkid 42 --datadir /home/pi/ChainSkills/node --nodiscover --rpc --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport "8042" --port "30303" --unlock 0 --password "/home/pi/ChainSkills/node/password.sec" --ipcpath /home/pi/.ethereum/geth.ipc --dev
