ethdev_docker

Development environment for Ethereum using Docker, Vue.JS and Truffle+GanacheCLI

How to get started:

Install Docker / Docker-compose https://www.docker.com/get-started
Clone this project
Download and install Ganache [https://truffleframework.com/ganache]
cd into the project

cd ethdev_docker

Start the container (docker-compose up -d)
Run the start script (./scripts/start.sh)
Get a shell in the container (./scripts/shell.sh)

Then create a Vue.js project

vue create [projectname]
(follow vue wizard)

Then create a Truffle project (which we actually will copy the files from into the vue project)

(go to /apps)
mkdir truffle && pushd truffle
truffle init
popd
cp -R truffle/* [projectname]

Some cleanup

rm -f truffle-config.js

Set truffle.js to the following:

module.exports = {
  // See <http://truffleframework.com/docs/advanced/configuration>
  // to customize your Truffle configuration!
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "ganache-cli",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*",
      gas: 4600000
    }
  }
};

Then go into the Vue project and get started

cd [projectname]
serve_start
truffle migrate

NodeJS installation via package manager

Check first if Node JS version installed is 8.x

node --version

If installed Node JS version is not 8.x, remove NodeJS packages

Run bash script from source (this script will add the repository link of the latest version supported by the distro)

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -

Install NodeJS packages

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Check if NodeJS is properly installed

Install Truffle

sudo npm install -g truffle

Install Ganache CLI and Web3 JS

sudo npm install ganache-cli web3@0.20.2

To check if Ganache is working properly

Go to node_modules

cd <path where node_modules directory can be found>/node_modules

Run Ganache local blockchain
