⁠Decred Daemon Dockerfile

This repository maintains the Decred daemon⁠ Dockerfile for Docker⁠.

The repo automatically builds⁠ and publishes the docker image to the Docker Hub Registry⁠.

⁠Base Docker Image

• alpine:latest⁠

⁠Installation

1. Install Docker⁠.

2. Download automated build⁠ from public Docker Hub Registry⁠:

   docker pull nthieling/docker-dcrd

   (alternatively, you can build an image from Dockerfile)

⁠Building

To build this docker container run the following commands after you edited the dcrd.conf file

docker build -t="nthieling/docker-dcrd" github.com/gravcat/docker-dcrd

⁠Usage

This docker image can either be configured before build or attach the config.

⁠If you want to change the provided dcrd.conf, you should do the following:

docker cp /path/to/your/dcrd.conf:/data/dcrd.conf

⁠Run your dcrd container

docker run -d --name="dcrd" nthieling/docker-dcrd

⁠If you need to expose RPC ports

docker run -d -p 9109:9109 --name dcrd nthieling/docker-dcrd

⁠If you only want to tweak the dcrd.conf, you can run a temp link:

docker run -d -p 9109:9109 --name dcrd -v /path/to/your/dcrd.conf:data/dcrd.conf nthieling/docker-dcrd

⁠If you want to run with the built in volume of the entire dcrd daemon:

docker run -d --name="dcrd" -v /path/to/your/.dcrd/data:/data nthieling/docker-dcrd

NOTE: Make sure the directory on your system have the dcrd.conf file

⁠Checking if it works

To check if dcrd is working you can check the docker logs

docker logs dcrd

⁠Shutting down the docker container

If you need to close down the docker container you can run the following:

docker kill --signal=SIGINT dcrd

NOTE: sending a SIGINT (crtl+c) will have dcrd shutdown safely
