I am trying to create a private network of IPFS with two nodes. Each node is an EC2 instance running on AWS. I generated swarm key and configure my node as follow:

"API": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/5001",
"Announce": [],
"Gateway": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8080",
"NoAnnounce": [],
"Swarm": [
  "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001",
  "/ip6/::/tcp/4001"
]

"Bootstrap": [ "/ip4/172.31.25.195/tcp/4001/ipfs/QmaRpyg48RqdUwXVD84RSAd8hFvA2MNPvu3Z7yTxRFJKub" ]

Then I run "ipfs daemon" to start all nodes and "ipfs swarm peers" to list all connected peers. However, "ipfs swarm peers" doest list anything and I dont know what is the problem?

  • Can you share ipfs log entries? We should see the peers being added by bootstrap – craigmayhew Feb 11 '20 at 20:16

  • Can you confirm your firewall rules? You need to add inbound TCP rules for ports 4001, 5001 and 8080 in your Security Groups from AWS Console. – craigmayhew Feb 12 '20 at 09:16
  • My configuration is: "Custom TCP TCP 4001 0.0.0.0/0" " Custom TCP TCP 5001 0.0.0.0/0" – Louis Feb 12 '20 at 13:24
  • Thank you so much for your help, actually it works now. This is problem with inbound TCP – Louis Feb 12 '20 at 13:42

Its likely you need to add inbound TCP rules for ports 4001, 5001 and 8080 in your Security Groups from AWS Console.
