Wraps BCHD inside an Ubuntu-based Docker container.
This Docker container runs James Cramer's fork of BCHD that includes an SLP indexer. It wraps that code inside a Docker container and runs BCHD.
-
It's assumed that you are starting with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a 64-bit machine. It's also assumed that you are installing as a non-root user with sudo privileges.
-
Install Docker on the host system. This tutorial shows how to install Docker on a Ubuntu system. It's specifically targeted to Digital Ocean's cloud servers, but should work for any Ubuntnu system.
-
Install Docker Compose too. This tutorial shows how to do so on a Ubuntu system.
-
Clone this repository in your home directory with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/christroutner/docker-bchd
-
Create a two directories in the same directory as
docker-bchd. These will be used to store configuration data and blockchain data. Call them:configbchd-data
-
Copy the run-script.sh file into the
configdirectory you just created. Customize the run-script.sh file for your own full node. -
Enter the
docker-bchddirectory and start the container with this command:
docker-compose up -d
BCHD needs time to gracefully shut down its database. If not shutdown cleanly, it can take a long time on the next startup to repair its mempool. To shutdown the container, run the shutdown script with this command:
./stop-bchd.sh
