dynamicd for Docker

Docker Stats

Build Status

Docker image that runs the Dynamic dynamicd node in a container for easy deployment.

Requirements

  • Physical machine, cloud instance, or VPS that supports Docker (i.e. Vultr, Digital Ocean, KVM or XEN based VMs) running Ubuntu 16.04 or later (not OpenVZ containers!)
  • At least 4 GB to store the block chain files
  • At least 1 GB RAM + 2 GB swap file

Recommended and tested on Vultr 1024 MB RAM/50 GB disk instance @ $8/mo. Vultr also accepts Bitcoin payments!

Really Fast Quick Start

One liner for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machines with JSON-RPC enabled on localhost and adds upstart init script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duality-solutions/docker-dynamicd/master/bootstrap-host.sh | sh -s xenial

Quick Start

  1. Create a dynamicd-data volume to persist the dynamicd blockchain data, should exit immediately. The dynamicd-data container will store the blockchain when the node container is recreated (software upgrade, reboot, etc):

     docker volume create --name=dynamicd-data
 docker run -v dynamicd-data:/dynamic --name=dynamicd-node -d \
     -p 33300:33300 \
     -p 127.0.0.1:33350:33350 \
     dualitysolutions/docker-dynamicd

  2. Verify that the container is running and dynamicd node is downloading the blockchain

     $ docker ps
 CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
 28bde7d11775        dualitysolutions/dynamicd:latest          "dynamic_oneshot"      2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        127.0.0.1:33350->33350/tcp, 0.0.0.0:33300->33300/tcp   dynamicd-node

  3. You can then access the daemon's output thanks to the docker logs command

     docker logs -f dynamicd-node

  4. Install optional init scripts for upstart and systemd are in the init directory.

Documentation

  • To run in testnet, add environment variable TESTNET=1 to docker run as such:

      docker run -v dynamicd-data:/dynamic --name=dynamicd-node -d \
      --env TESTNET=1 \
      -p 33300:33300 \
      -p 127.0.0.1:33350:33350 \
      dualitysolutions/docker-dynamicd

  • Additional documentation in the docs folder.
