Running via Docker Compose

A Docker Compose script docker-compose.yml has been created to simplify building and running a validator node. You may run this script locally or after setting up a remote machine / server that you can SSH into.

Docker Compose consists of scripts for the following components:

  • PostgreSQL database
  • hashport Validator Node (Application)

Containers use the following persisted volumes:

  • ./db on your local machine maps to /var/lib/postgresql/data in the container, containing all necessary files for the PostgreSQL database.
  • If the database container fails to initialize properly, or the database fails to run, you will need to delete the folder.

Run​

Before running the following command, you need to have the necessary configuration populated, particularly node.yml and bridge.yml. These files persist as a volume to the Application container.

docker-compose up

To stop and remove the containers, networks, volumes, and images created from up, simply run:

docker-compose down
