⁠Configuration

You can modify the behavior of your silicoin container by setting specific environment variables.

To use your own keys pass as arguments on startup (post 1.0.2 pre 1.0.2 must manually pass as shown below)

-v /path/to/key/file:/path/in/container -e keys="/path/in/container"

or pass keys into the running container

docker exec -it <container-name> venv/bin/silicoin keys add

alternatively you can pass in your local keychain, if you have previously deployed silicoin with these keys on the host machine

-v ~/.local/share/python_keyring/:/root/.local/share/python_keyring/

or if you would like to persist the entire mainnet subdirectory and not touch the key directories at all

-v ~/.flax/mainnet:/root/.flax/mainnet -e keys="persistent"

To start a farmer only node pass

-e farmer="true"

To start a harvester only node pass

-e harvester="true" -e farmer_address="addres.of.farmer" -e farmer_port="portnumber" -v /path/to/ssl/ca:/path/in/container -e ca="/path/in/container" -e keys="copy"

The plots_dir environment variable can be used to specify the directory containing the plots, it supports PATH-style colon-separated directories.

⁠or run commands externally with venv (this works for most silicoin XYZ commands)

docker exec -it silicoin venv/bin/silicoin plots add -d /plots

⁠status from outside the container

docker exec -it silicoin venv/bin/silicoin show -s -c

⁠Connect to testnet?

docker run -d --expose=58444 --expose=8555 -e testnet=true --name <container-name> lryanuk/silicoin-docker:latest

⁠Need a wallet?

docker exec -it silicoin-farmer1 venv/bin/silicoin wallet show (follow the prompts)
