Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new to BitcoinCore and just set up a Full Node. It's working fine on a VPS with Debian 12.
I also tried to set up a Mining Pool but ran into some issues... (I've changed the username and password, so no worries there)
Every time I try to start the Pool, I keep getting:
ZMQ Unable to connect, Retrying
I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Here's the bitcoin.conf file from my Node:
And this is the pool.env for my Pool:
The IP 185.218.x.x is the Node's IP.
Can anyone help me out and point out where I might be going wrong? Really appreciate it!

Is the error ZMQ error came from the pool?
It seems your bitcoin.conf setup is for localhost only would you mind to edit this below with your current IP and port then try it again.
Make sure to leave port 28332 and 28333 open from the firewall.
Thanks a lot ... ZMQ is conntec now gosh what a stupid fault by myself
ufw is always up to date, thanks for this reminder.
Now i need to figure out why my pool isn't connect to the RCP Port

Now we see it's connected but rpc can't connect it looks like the issue is related to the port.
I searched a bit and it seems that your pool.env RPC port is 18332 its for testnet but your network on the pool is set to mainnet.
Try changing it to this port below
That should be the port for mainnet.
