Easy way to set up your own Groestlcoin (GRS) node.
Includes Docker configuration for building & running GRS node in Docker. No need to install any extra build tools into your OS.
Compressed Docker image size is about 100 MB.
Build requires multi-stage support from Docker, so version >= 17.05 is required.
Install docker-compose if you want to use it to set up your node. Useful for all the lazy people.
Clone this repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/vtorhonen/ez-docker-groestlcoin.git
$ cd ez-docker-groestlcoin
Build your own image and run:
$ sudo docker-compose build
$ sudo docker-compose up -d
Building the image takes quite a while.
If you are lazy and you trust my binaries then you can use pre-built images from my Dockerhub repo.
$ sudo docker-compose up -d
Data directory called data is created to the working directory upon startup. It is then mounted to the container by default. You won't lose your wallet if you destroy the container.
Since Dockerhub doesn't support multi-stage builds yet (see issue #1) the builds are probably not as transparent as they should be. Will be fixed.
You can interact with your wallet by using groestlcoin-cli.sh wrapper script. Note that blockchain syncing takes some hours to complete after container startup and it is wise to wait.
Check current sync status:
$ ./groestlcoin-cli.sh getinfo
Check your wallet balance:
$ ./groestlcoin-cli.sh getbalance
0.00000000
List all available CLI commands:
$ ./groestlcoin-cli.sh help
