I am having trouble setting up a BigchainDB network and made a post on Stack Overflow about it. However, I'm not sure if that was the correct place to post it. I checked the Stack Exchange sites, however, I'm not sure which one is relevant for this particular problem and therefore I am searching for a recommendation.

I'm trying to set-up a local BigchainDB network with 3 Raspberry Pis using this repository as a reference. However, all my nodes encounter a "connection refused" problem on tendermint.service. Tendermint is on v0.31.5 and BigchainDB on v2.0.0. I checked if the port is blocked but it seems to be fine.

The error that I am getting is:

Jan 09 14:52:41 ubuntu tendermint[807]: E[2023-01-09|14:52:41.985] abci.socketClient failed to connect to tcp://0.0.0.0:26658. Retrying... module=abci-client connnt failed to connect to tcp://0.0.0.0:26658. Retrying... module=abci-client connection=query err="dial tcp 0.0.0.0:26658: connect: connection refused">

I am running Tendermint using a unit file:

I've also configured the genesis.json file in every node:
