Using Docker¶
It is assumed that you have already setup docker.
Tendermint¶
The application configuration and data will be stored at /tendermint
in the
container. This directory will also be exposed as a volume. The ports 46656 and
46657 will be open for ABCI applications to connect.
Initialize tendermint:
mkdir /tmdata
docker run --rm -v /tmdata:/tendermint tendermint/tendermint init
Change /tmdata
folder to any destination where you want to store Tendermint
configuration and data.
Tendermint docker image is stored on docker hub.
Get the public key of tendermint:
docker run --rm -v /tmdata:/tendermint tendermint/tendermint show_validator
Run the docker tendermint application with:
docker run --rm -d -v /tmdata:/tendermint tendermint/tendermint node
Building images by yourself:
This folder contains Docker container descriptions. Using this folder you can build your own Docker images with the tendermint application.
Ethermint¶
The application configuration will be stored at /ethermint
.
Initialize ethermint:
mkdir /ethermintdata
wget -O /ethermintdata/genesis.json https://github.com/tendermint/ethermint/raw/master/setup/genesis.json
docker run --rm -v /ethermintdata:/ethermint tendermint/ethermint ethermint --datadir /ethermint init /ethermint/genesis.json
Start ethermint as a validator node: This is a two-step process: * Run the tendermint container and expose the ports that allow clients to connect. * Run the ethermint container. You will have to define where tendermint runs as the ethermint binary connects to it explicitly. The –proxy_app should contain the ethermint application’s IP address and port.
docker run --rm -d -v /tmdata:/tendermint tendermint/tendermint node --proxy_app=tcp://172.17.0.3:46658
docker run --rm -d -v /ethermintdata:/ethermint tendermint/ethermint ethermint --tendermint_addr tcp://172.17.0.2:46657

This folder contains Docker container descriptions. Using this folder you can build your own Docker images with the ethermint application.
