I faced the same issue but found a solution. In the node-0 folder, run the following command:

geth attach data/geth.ipc

admin.addPeer("enode://[email protected]:port?discport=0&raftport=port");

If you have 5 running nodes, you need to add 4 of them as admin peers inside node-0. After that, you can run:

net.peerCount It will output 4, indicating that all the nodes are in sync mode.
