Docker

Install and run a node​

We provide Docker images and a Docker Compose file for a container setup.

After provisioning a node, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the Docker tab and click the download button to obtain the docker-compose.NODE.yaml configuration file, where NODE is the name you entered for your node.
  2. Run
    docker compose -f docker-compose.NODE.yaml up --detach

Edit the Docker Compose file and change environment variables to adjust your configuration.

Stop a node​

Stop a node via the down command:

docker compose -f docker-compose.NODE.yaml down

Stop a node and delete its persistent state by adding --volumes:

docker compose -f docker-compose.NODE.yaml down --volumes

Update a node​

Run the following commands to update a Docker Compose deployment with a configuration file docker-compose.NODE.yaml:

docker compose -f docker-compose.NODE.yaml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.NODE.yaml down
docker compose -f docker-compose.NODE.yaml up --detach

Note that we pull first so that the subsequent downtime between down and up is minimal.
