Hyperledger Fabric: Timeout Expired while starting chaincode on "Peer Chaincode Instantiate" command - docker

Question

I am trying to instantiate an installed chaincode using the "Peer Chaincode Instantiate" command (as below). On execution of the command, I am receiving the following error message:
Command to instantiate chaincode:
peer chaincode instantiate -o orderer.proofofownership.com:7050 --tls --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/proofofownership.com/orderers/orderer.proofofownership.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.proofofownership.com-cert.pem -C dmanddis -n CreateDiamond -v 1.0 -c '{"Args":[]}' -P "OR ('DiamondManufacturerMSP.peer','DistributorMSP.peer')"
Error Message received:
Error: Error endorsing chaincode: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = timeout expired while starting chaincode CreateDiamond:1.0(networkid:dev,peerid:peer0.dm.proofofownership.com,tx:1a96ecc8763e214ee543ecefe214df6025f8e98f2449f2b7877d04655ddadb49)
I tried rectifying this issue by adding the following attributes in "peer-base.yaml file"
- CORE_CHAINCODE_EXECUTETIMEOUT=300s
- CORE_CHAINCODE_DEPLOYTIMEOUT=300s
Although, I am still receiving this particular error.
Following are my docker container configurations:

Answer 1

In the peer configuration, you specified a different port for the chaincode endpoint than the peer adress (chaincode endpoint port 7052, peer adress on port 7051):
CORE_PEER_CHAINCODELISTENADDRESS=peer0.dm.proofofownership.com:7052
But this port is not exposed. Please add this to your peer port configuration:
- 7052:7052

Answer 2

It is likely that your chaincode is failing on start-up. You might want to try using the development mode tutorial approach to debug your chaincode. It is possible that the chaincode process is failing. By executing from within the container, you can view the logs to see what might not be working for you.
The devmode tutorial is here . You will simply need to replace the tutorial's chaincode with your own.
