I attempting to deploy the GSN contracts; my steps, prior to deploying my contracts as follows:
my truffle-config.js —> network_id: ‘777’
root:# ganache-cli -d -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 9545 --chainId 777
Ganache CLI v6.12.2 (ganache-core: 2.13.2)

root:# node_modules/.bin/gsn start

Any help is appreciated

My suspicion is that you didn’t provide a networkId. Make sure it has the same value as the chainId.

ganache-cli --networkId 777 --chainId 777 --port 9545

or

ganache-cli -i 777 -p 9545 --chainId 777

GSN start works with ganache on port 8545.

Ok i tried with simply using
# ganache-cli -i 777 -d --chainId 777

And that works deploying the GSN contracts on
local host 127.0.01:8544

Where can I change the default host in GSN ?

SOLVED:

ok so to solve my problem I deployed the GSN contracts to a specific host address by passing my custom URL in the command line

node_modules/.bin/gsn start -n http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8545
