Troubleshooting Multi-Node Setup in Docker

I'm trying to run multiple node setup locally.

First I did

echo '127.0.0.1:8107:8108,127.0.0.1:7107:7108,127.0.0.1:9107:9108' > `pwd`/typesense-server-nodes`

following [this](https://github.com/typesense/typesense-js/blob/master/package.json#L71).

Then I opened 3 terminals and pasted:

docker run -i -p 8108:8108 -p 8107:8107 -v/tmp/typesense-server-data-1b/:/data -v`pwd`/typesense-server-nodes:/typesense-server-nodes typesense/typesense:0.20.0 --data-dir /data --api-key=xyz --listen-port 8108 --peering-port 8107 --enable-cors --nodes=/typesense-server-nodes```

docker run -i -p 7108:7108 -p 7107:7107 -v/tmp/.typesense-server-data-2b/:/data -vpwd/typesense-server-nodes:/typesense-server-nodes typesense/typesense:0.20.0 --data-dir /data --api-key=xyz --listen-port 7108 --peering-port 7107 --enable-cors --nodes=/typesense-server-nodes

docker run -i -p 9108:9108 -p 9107:9107 -v/tmp/.typesense-server-data-3b/:/data -vpwd/typesense-server-nodes:/typesense-server-nodes typesense/typesense:0.20.0 --data-dir /data --api-key=xyz --listen-port 9108 --peering-port 9107 --enable-cors --nodes=/typesense-server-nodes

Log was repeating `Multi-node with no leader: refusing to reset peers.`
So I tried initiating voting process, which returned `success: true` but nothing happened.
All other request are returning `{ "message": "Not Ready or Lagging"}`
What am I missing?

Docker containers cannot share network this way unless you use host networking.

Okay, I'll read up about it.

But if you are on Mac, it's not possible to run Docker on host networking mode.

I'm on linux

I'm sure there is a way to do it using Docker networking or via Docker Compose as well but I'm not familiar enough to advise.

What I'm trying to do is to perform the vote operation on cluster, what's the easiest way to achieve that?

Why not just run Linux binary locally? Download tar gz, unzip and run.

of typesense server?

Yes

Alright!
