I have a peer successfully connected to a cluster using ipfs-cluster-service, but it does not sync the pinned files.

Here’s ‘ipfs-cluster-ctl peers ls’ showing peer is connected:

Here’s an example ‘ipfs-cluster-ctl pin ls’ output:

Here’s an example ‘ipfs-cluster-ctl status’ output:

Here are the logs from the systemd startup:

This took several days to approve on the forum, and I’ve figured it out in that time.

The issue was launching both ipfs and cluster services via systemd at the same time. Even waiting for ipfs first to launch cluster did not work. I had to make it wait 60s for it to work.
