Deploying IPFS to Fly.io - problem setting the public IP with Addresses.Annouce

Help

I just deployed a Kubo node to fly.io using the official Docker image, and now I’ve run into a problem with the node not advertising its public IP.

When I ssh into the deployed container and run ipfs id, I get:

Since the container isn’t aware of the public IP, it isn’t showing up.

I tried to add it manually with the following configuration:
ipfs config Addresses.Announce --json '["/ip4/137.66.16.155/tcp/4001"]' However, even after setting this, kubo doesn’t seem to be aware of this public IP.

I tried looking up the peer records from another IPFS node and got the following:

ipfs dht findpeer 12D3KooWPyYm32rgQwU5vtip42ASH6tkSSLfPo1gnYMkkZyjxaru

This indicates that the public IP (non circuit relay addresses) isn’t advertised.

To make sure that it’s actually possible to connect to the node, I ran:

ipfs swarm connect /ip4/137.66.16.155/tcp/4001/p2p/12D3KooWPyYm32rgQwU5vtip42ASH6tkSSLfPo1gnYMkkZyjxaru

Which worked successfully.

How can I make sure that the node advertises the hard-coded public IP set in Addresses.Announce? I also tried Addresses.AppendAnnounce which didn’t work

Quick update:

It seems that eventually the address was announced. In the end, I used the AppendAnnounce config:

ipfs config --json Addresses.AppendAnnounce '["/ip4/137.66.16.155/tcp/4001"]'
