filecoin/lotus repository overview

⁠filecoin/lotus

This is the official docker image for lotus, a filecoin implementation by Protocol Labs.

For more information about filecoin, please see https://filecoin.io/⁠

Lotus source code, including the source code for the Dockerfile used for this image, can be seen on github⁠.

⁠When we build:

This image will be built several times a day and during lotus releases. Lotus releases will have an associated docker tag, i.e. filecoin/lotus:v1.11.3. Nightly images are built from master at the beginning of each day. Those will have the nightly tag, i.e. filecoin/lotus:nightly. Finally, other docker images are tagged with the git sha representing the current head when the image was built.

I recommend using the latest tagged release whenever possible, or the nightly tag when doing tests that need to be particularly close to master.

⁠Instructions

By default, this docker image will download the latest stateroots when it initially started. This process can take quite some time, and varies widely depending on the speed of your network connection. While the stateroots are downloaded, lotus API will not be up yet

⁠run a nightly build

docker run -P filecoin/lotus:nightly

⁠run a specific release

docker run -P filecoin/lotus:v1.11.3
