Just to be dificult i set it up on a Almalinux 9 instance… not much different in terms of install, only thing is docker is installed using dnf as the bash file won’t support Almalinux, docker-compose is the same in my instance i’m using version 2.12.2 not 1.29.2 as per your document.

Only think now is the log is incomatible peers (expecting testnet-5 getting testnet-6)

Just editting this post with more info:

I updated the testnet.json to use testnet-6, removed .cometbtf deleted the containers and re-run the build because i like testing stuff. Its no longer getting those errors in the cometbft log file.

Just as a fyi this is the error i’m getting now in pm2 logs.

Thanks to all who stepped through the process of setting up a node - it was a valuable help ironing out any setup issues along the way. Stay tuned for info on joining RCNet.
