⁠Finding your Bobcat

Autopilot will automatically search and find your Bobcat. Setting the log-level to DEBUG will show more information about the search process.

$ bobcat -C DEBUG autopilot
🐛 Searching for a bobcat in these networks: 192.168.0.0/24, 10.0.0.0/24, 172.16.0.0/24, 192.168.0.1/16, 10.0.0.1/16, 172.16.0.1/16

The search may take awhile depending on your Bobcat's IP address. However; this step can be skipped by specifying either the --ip-address or --hostname options.

$ bobcat --ip-address 192.168.0.10 -C DEBUG autopilot
🐛 Connected to Bobcat: 192.168.0.10

**Points to:** Miner's Docker Container

**Why does this happen?** 
This can happen if your miner's Docker crashes. Sometimes losing power or internet connection during an OTA can cause a miner's Docker to crash. This can typically be fixed with a reboot or a reset, followed by a fast sync if your gap is >400. Fast Sync is recommended if your gap is >400 and your miner has been fully synced before.

**What You Can Try:** 
1. First Try Reboot
2. Try Reset
3. Then Fastsync
4. Make Sure Your Miner is Connected to the Internet. What color is your miner's LED?

**What to provide customer support if unable to resolve:**
1. If Possible, Screenshots of Your Diagnoser.
2. Indicate Miner's LED Color
3. Open Port 22, if Unable to Access the Diagnoser
4. Provide Miner's IP Address
5. Confirm Port 22 is Open (Include a Screenshot of this Page)
