Issues with Setting Up XDC Master Node

Hi,

I am a node operator trying to set up a master node by following the official documentation(https://docs.xdc.org/build-with-xdc/deploy-an-xdc-public-masternode).

I set up the .env **file using **STEP 2 in the official documentation and started the container. Initially, I encountered an error indicating that the NETWORK variable was missing. I added the variable to the .env file and started the container again.

However, this time, I encountered another error indicating that the PRIVATE_KEY is missing. I have some doubts regarding the use of the private key, so I asked my questions on Discord, but I haven't received any replies. I also posted the same question on the XDC.dev site, and someone replied suggesting that the private key is not required (https://www.xdc.dev/nodeop5252/clarification-on-private-key-usage-in-master-node-setup-1a4l). Despite this, I am still getting the error that the PRIVATE_KEY is missing.

Could you please clarify the use of the private key and where it is required?

Additionally, I started the container with the default values according to GitHub(https://github.com/XinFinOrg/XinFin-Node/blob/master/mainnet/.env). The official documentation mentions that a coinbase address will be generated at xdcchain/coinbase.txt after starting the container, but it has not been generated. Furthermore, the name I provided in the .env file is not appearing in the explorer (https://xinfin.network/#stats); instead, it shows as -5cbddxxxxxxxxxxxx2eec07fb-xx.xx.xx.xx.

Could you please tell me whether the issue is on my side or yourside, and clarify the usage of the private key?

Thank you.

[Query] Clarification on Private Key Usage in Master Node Setup

I am a Node operator and am currently trying to set up the master node by following the Official Documentation. While going through the .env file, I found the following line:

PRIVATE_KEY=3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

This private key is generated using the command:
docker build -t address-creator ../address-creator/ && docker run -e NUMBER_OF_KEYS=1 -e FILE=true -v "$(pwd):/work/output" -it address-creator

However, the Official Documentation does not provide any information related to this private key. Could you please clarify why this private key is needed and where it should be used?
I would be grateful for a thorough explanation.

Thanks
