`What are you trying to do?`  
Trying to get the node to produce blocks.

I’m having an issue with the keys not displaying in LiveView. If I add a line (append\_args: —keystore path..) in the compose.yml it fixes that, but causes other errors like missing Node Key, failed to fetch latest block, sync state, finalized hash.

`What’s not working or unclear?`  
I’m unable to get the node to see the keys (aura,side chain, grandpa) without breaking the node

`What have you tried so far?`  
I’ve been trying to adjust the compose.yml, adding command: —keystore-path etc.

No other solutions found yet, but that seems to work for others in the block producer chat

`Add any relevant code or error messages.`

```auto

```

I solved it with help from a community member!

in .envrc I had to add “–rpc-methods=unsafe” to the APPEND\_ARGS= line for LiveView to see my keys!

would be excellent to have a live view guide in the future!
