When I had it running years ago, and saw actual "peers" connected, I had no
idea what I did right, and since then I've never managed to replicate the
success.

You had written in a previous email
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnunet/2022-02/msg00009.html> that
you had been able to run GNUnet but then you filled the disk and got this
error:

error: database or disk is full

Martin suggested you to reduce the quota assigned to the database to 1 GB.
At the same time I attached a link (among others) to the ยง /var/lib/gnunet/
grows too big
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNUnet#/var/lib/gnunet/_grows_too_big>
section of the ArchWiki which explains how to edit manually the
/etc/gnunet.conf file to reach the same effect.

If the disk space is already full you might also need to get rid of the
previous database manually.

But there are things we don't know and therefore we cannot help you unless
you tell us.

   - What command do you use to launch GNUnet?
      1. gnunet-arm -s?
      2. sudo -u gnunet gnunet-arm -s?
      3. sudo -u gnunet gnunet-arm -c /etc/gnunet.conf -s?
   Each of them has slightly different consequences on where the database
   and the configuration file are located.
   - What distribution do you use? Did you compile and install GNUnet
   manually or did you use a precompiled package?

Instead of being us not willing to explain, could it be that you might be
skipping some of the suggestions?
