Building the image

In order to build a new Docker image execute the following commands:

Clone the project's repository:

git clone https://github.com/wavesplatform/docker-waves-testnet.git

Running the image

List your Docker's images:

docker images

To start a new Docker container, please, execute:

docker run --name waves-testnet waves-testnet

This image defines a storage volume in folder /data and volume for configuration file in /conf folder. Those folders are persisted on host drive. So, your node configuration and downloaded blockchain will survive the container restart. You can find the locations of volumes on a host computer using docker inspect command.

Alternatively you can map volumes on host folders using option -v as in:

docker run --name waves-testnet -v /home/user/local-waves-data:/data -v /home/user/local-waves-conf:/conf waves-testnet

In order to use your configuration file you have to place this file in local-waves-conf folder and provide the name of the file as command line parameter in run command.

cp my-waves.conf /home/user/local-waves-conf/
docker run --name waves-testnet -v /home/user/local-waves-data:/data -v /home/user/local-waves-conf:/conf waves-testnet my-waves.conf

To start and stop the container use Docker commands docker start waves-testnet and docker stop waves-testnet.
