Some things that can go wrong when setting up your MoC Oracle
Connection to the RSK node:
Looking into your docker container:
docker exec -it omoc-node /bin/bash
the output might look like this:
WARNING: Error getting param from blockchain 'ORACLE_MANAGER_ADDR' -> BCError(state='error', hash=None, error="HTTPConnectionPool(host='moc-rsk-node-testnet.moneyonchain.com', port=4454): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fa94b26a610>, 'Connection to moc-rsk-node-testnet.moneyonchain.com timed out.

(connect timeout=30)'))")
This means your Oracle can not read the contract registry. To check if you have connectivity you can run:
NODO="<RSK-NODE-URL>:<PORT>" ; curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber", "params": {}, "id":123}' $NODO | jq .result | tr -d '"' | awk '{print "printf \"%d\\n\" "$0}' | sh
If your server can access the node you'll get in return the block number. If you don't get a reply it means the node is unreachable from the machine.
It is important to flag you'll need the jq (Json CLI parser) to run the above command. Alternatively, you can run:
NODO="https://public-node.testnet.rsk.co:443" ; curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber", "params": {}, "id":123}' $NODO
And will get the JSON reply which is in HEX and harder to read. Plus in this example, we've used the RSK public node.
Server port (ie. 5556) not open:
You should be able to reach the oracle from the internet in the designated port. So if you do:
curl http://<YOUR-IP>:5556
It will reply some error, but it should at least reply. It usually goes something like:
"The request was not made by a selected oracle."
And might continue with your local IP. This means the port is open and reachable which is needed for the Oracle to work.
