This is a friendly reminder to all Witnesses out there. If you price feed is not working right now due to a down RPC node server, please update right away so we can provide an accurate price feed for STEEM. Providing accurate price feed is one of many responsibility being a Witness.

This is a simple steps to follow using the Steemfeed-js.
Login to your Witness Server, then change directory (cd) to ~/steem-docker/steemfeed-js$
Edit config.json file
{
"node": "wss://steemd.privex.io/",
"name": "yehey",
"wif": "5KUKG...ACTIVE_PRIVATE_KEY",
"interval": 60
}
As of writing this how to guide steemd.privex.io seems to be not responding. No worries, we have plenty of alternative servers, some are listed below.
"wss://gtg.steem.house:8090”
"wss://rpc.buildteam.io”
"wss://seed.bitcoiner.me”
"wss://steemd.pevo.science”
"wss://steemd.steemitstage.com"
Of course, my first option is to use gandalf server "wss://gtg.steem.house:8090” but it is specifically assigned port is 8090 which by default is closed in my Firewall policy. So, my next option is "wss://rpc.buildteam.io” nothing to change on my Firewall policy.
You can also ping the servers and choose the nearest server close to you.
Step 1. Edit config.json file
{
"node": "wss://rpc.buildteam.io",
"name": "yehey",
"wif": "5KUKG...ACTIVE_PRIVATE_KEY",
"interval": 60
}
Save changes to my config.json file, and follow the commands.
Step 2. Delete existing feed if still running.
/steem-docker/steemfeed-js$ docker rm feed
Step 3. Run build.
/steem-docker/steemfeed-js$ docker build -t steemfeed-js .
You will see something like this.
Sending build context to Docker daemon 254.5kB
Step 1/1 : FROM node:6-onbuild
---> Using cache
---> Using cache
---> Using cache
---> Using cache
---> eba60f08a2e8
Successfully built eba60f08a2e8
Step 4. Lastly
/steem-docker/steemfeed-js$ docker run -itd --rm --name feed steemfeed-js
Here's a good price feed logs.
/steem-docker/steemfeed-js$ docker logs feed
