lbry/lbrycrd [linux-x86_64-production](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-docker/blob/master/chainquery/Dockerfile-linux-x86_64-production) (Latest release)

⁠Compiler container

The Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler⁠ is for building lbrynet for any architecture supported by an Ubuntu 18.04 base image.

⁠Register qemu to run docker images built for platforms other than your host

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register

⁠Build for the default x86_64 platform:

docker build -t lbrynet -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler .

⁠Build for an ARM 32-bit platform:

docker build -t lbrynet-armhf -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=multiarch/ubuntu-core:armhf-bionic .

⁠Build for an ARM 64-bit platform:

docker build -t lbrynet-arm64 -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=multiarch/ubuntu-core:arm64-bionic .

⁠Extra build arguments

⁠VERSION

Compile any version of lbrynet by specifying the git tag:

VERSION can be any git reference. Examples:

• master
• v0.37.2
• 588568752b983f46f8f492d4bd5d76feeb74dfbf

docker build -t lbrynet:v0.36.0 --build-arg VERSION=v0.36.0 -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler .

⁠REPO

Compile from any fork of lbrynet:

docker build -t lbrynet:v0.37.2-enigmacurry --build-arg VERSION=v0.37.2 \
   --build-arg REPO=https://github.com/EnigmaCurry/lbry.git -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler .

⁠Running from the compiler container directly

The container requires a home directory to be mounted at /home/lbrynet. This is to ensure that the wallet is backed up to a real storage device. You must run the container with the appropriate volume argument, or else lbrynet will refuse to run.

The config file must be mounted at /etc/lbry/daemon_settings.yml.

If you compiled lbrynet as above, with the tag lbrynet:v0.37.2, you could run docker like so:

docker run --rm -it -v wallet:/home/lbrynet -v $(pwd)/stuff/daemon_settings_test.yml:/etc/lbry/daemon_settings.yml lbrynet:v0.37.2

This automatically creates a docker volume called wallet and it will persist across container restarts. See more in the Docker volume documentation⁠

If you would rather not use a docker volume, you can mount a directory from your host instead:

docker run --rm -it -v /path/on/your/host:/home/lbrynet -v $(pwd)/stuff/daemon_settings_test.yml:/etc/lbry/daemon_settings.yml lbrynet:v0.37.2

Either way, the container uses the configuration from /home/lbrynet inside the container.
