⁠Docker Pull

Run this first:

⁠Docker Run

To start a node that runs the JSON-RPC interface on port 8545, run:

docker run  -it -v "`pwd`/dapps:/opt/dapps" --name embark eliottbacker/docker-ethereum-embark bash

⁠Demo

You can easily create a sample working DApp with the following:

cd /dapps
embark demo

You can run a REAL ethereum node for development purposes:

cd embark_demo
embark blockchain

if lis accounts is empty, try to add a new account with tyhe followinf command

geth --networkid 12301 --password config/development/password account new

or, to use an ethereum rpc simulator simply run:

embark simulator

and leave this running on your terminal.

By default embark blockchain will mine a minimum amount of ether and will only mine when new transactions come in. This is quite usefull to keep a low CPU. The option can be configured at config/blockchain.json

Open a new terminal and deploy the contracts:

docker exec -it embark bash
embark run

This will automatically deploy the contracts, update their JS bindings and deploy your DApp to a local server at http://localhost:8000⁠
