firoorg/firod repository overview

If you are already familiar with Docker, then running Firo with Docker might be the the easier method for you. To run Firo using this method, first install Docker⁠. After this you may continue with the following instructions.

Please note that we currently don't support the GUI when running with Docker. Therefore, you can only use RPC (via HTTP or the firo-cli utility) to interact with Firo via this method.

Pull our latest official Docker image:

docker pull firoorg/firod

Start Firo daemon:

docker run -d --name firod -v "${HOME}/.firo:/home/firod/.firo" firoorg/firod

View current block count (this might take a while since the daemon needs to find other nodes and download blocks first):

docker exec firod firo-cli getblockcount

View connected nodes:

docker exec firod firo-cli getpeerinfo

Stop daemon:

docker stop firod

Backup wallet:

docker cp firod:/home/firod/.firo/wallet.dat .

Start daemon again:

docker start firod
