I have the plutus playground server running inside a nix-shell in another terminal:

$ netstat -natlp | grep plutus
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3772215/plutus-play

Then i get into another nix-shell, cd to the plutus-playground-client (i already did git checkout 41149926c108c71831cfe8d244c83b0ee4bf5c8a) and run npm start or npm run start

This is what i'm getting anyway:

16:33 :) ../plutus-playground-client # npm start

I was able to overcome this issue by running GC_DONT_GC=1 npm start.

  • Can you make this answer more clear and explicit? We are catering to varied skill levels and many visitors whose native language is not English. The few extra minutes it takes to make the answer clear and precise benefits everybody.

  • It will also make it more likely that @alfredo will mark it as the accepted answer. ;-)

I guess it's fixed.

At first i was running the ubuntu-packed version of nix-bin, which was 2.3.10. I then downloaded the newest version of nix following these instructions.

After loading the new version (since i've installed it with the --no-daemon flag i had to load a shell script) it kept malfunctioning. Then another user on the discord channel told me it would be nice to do a garbage collect and rebuild the server since i changed versions.

nix-collect-garbage
nix-build -A plutus-playground.server

It took a few hours but when it was done i've got everything running.

I had the same issue with the commit from the setup guide 41149926c108c71831cfe8d244c83b0ee4bf5c8a. Using different commit worked for me. You can try git checkout 7f53f18dfc788bf6aa929f47d840efa1247e11fd.
