krobertson/monero repository overview

⁠docker-monero

This image is based on amacneil/docker-bitcoin⁠.

⁠Usage

To start a monerod instance running the latest version (0.11.1.0):

$ docker run --name monero-node krobertson/monero

To run a monero container in the background, pass the -d option to docker run:

$ docker run -d --name monero-node krobertson/monero

Once you have a monero service running in the background, you can show running containers:

$ docker ps

Or view the logs of a service:

$ docker logs -f some-monero

To stop and restart a running container:

$ docker stop monero-node
$ docker start monero-node

⁠Data Volumes

By default, Docker will create ephemeral containers. That is, the blockchain data will not be persisted if you create a new bitcoin container.

To create a simple busybox data volume and link it to a bitcoin service:

$ docker create -v /data --name xmrdata busybox /bin/true
$ docker run --volumes-from xmrdata krobertson/monero

⁠Configuring Monero

The easiest method to configure the monero server is to pass arguments to the monerod command. For example, to run monero on the testnet:

$ docker run --name monero-testnet krobertson/monero monerod --testnet
