⁠monerod for Docker

Docker image that runs the Monero monerod node in a container for easy deployment.

⁠Requirements

• Physical machine, cloud instance, or VPS that supports Docker (i.e. Vultr⁠, Digital Ocean⁠, KVM or XEN based VMs) running Ubuntu 14.04 or later (not OpenVZ containers!)
• At least 100 GB to store the block chain files (and always growing!)
• At least 1 GB RAM + 2 GB swap file

Recommended and tested on unadvertised (only shown within control panel) Vultr SATA Storage 1024 MB RAM/250 GB disk instance @ $10/mo⁠. Vultr also accepts Bitcoin payments!

⁠Really Fast Quick Start

One liner for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machines with JSON-RPC enabled on localhost and adds upstart init script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kylemanna/docker-monerod/master/bootstrap-host.sh | sh -s trusty

⁠Quick Start

1. Create a monerod-data volume to persist the monerod blockchain data, should exit immediately. The monerod-data container will store the blockchain when the node container is recreated (software upgrade, reboot, etc):

    docker volume create --name=monerod-data
    docker run -v monerod-data:/monero --name=monerod-node -d \
        -p 18081:18081 \
        -p 127.0.0.1:18080:18080 \
        kylemanna/monerod
   

   Copy

2. Verify that the container is running and monerod node is downloading the blockchain

    $ docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
    d0e1076b2dca        kylemanna/monerod:latest     "xmr_oneshot"       2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        127.0.0.1:18080->18080/tcp, 0.0.0.0:18081->18081/tcp   monerod-node
   

   Copy

3. You can then access the daemon's output thanks to the docker logs command⁠

    docker logs -f monerod-node
   

   Copy

4. Install optional init scripts for upstart and systemd are in the init directory.
