Docker

Docker builds of cardano-node are available on Docker Hub. ​ Every release is tagged using semantic versioning and pushed to Docker Hub. For instance, images for release 1.10.0 can be pulled from Docker Hub via: ​

$ docker pull inputoutput/cardano-node:1.10.0

​ ​ or the latest development version can be pulled using: ​

$ docker pull inputoutput/cardano-node:master

​

How To Configure

​ Example configurations are available in the cardano-node repository: ​

configuration/
├── configuration.yaml
├── genesis.json
└── topology.json

​ You will need all the files in this directory. ​

How To Run

​ Assuming you have created the configuration directory as a subdirectory, mount the volume and run the node. For example, ​

docker run -v `pwd`/configuration/defaults/mainnet:/configuration inputoutput/cardano-node:1.10.1
docker run -v `pwd`/configuration/defaults/liveview:/configuration inputoutput/cardano-node:1.11.0

​

Building the Docker image locally

​ Ensure that you have Nix installed and the IOHK binary cache enabled (instructions). ​ Then run this command from the cardano-node git repository: ​

docker load -i $(nix-build -A dockerImage --no-out-link)

​ If you have no local changes, the build should be downloaded from the IOHK binary cache then loaded into the local Docker registry.
