Create a docker environment for Parity

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

Parity is a Rust based ETH client. Let's have our environment (Parity, custom client, etc.) in a Docker so we can easily scale number of clients to emulate larger network.

Ideally we do this via a Dockerfile and an associated shell file if the Dockerfile were to become too complex. Note that Docker by default doesn't make it easy to scale across VMs. For scalability across VMs, we would need something like Salt or, preferably, Ansible. Thoughts on using Ansible for quick setup of VMs?

I don't know Ansible, might take a look. We don't need it asap though, currently we're ok with ~2 nodes.

Edit: But yeah, it would be cool to have all VM's managed by it, automation ftw

If you keep a note of what you do to the VM to get it to the state you want, then I can write an Ansible playbook later. I don't have a lot of experience either but this can bring in some DevOps element to MCHA.
