A docker-compose environment for running the Lighthouse Eth2 client

🚨 DEPRECATION NOTICE 🚨

As of August 2022 Sigma Prime will no longer maintain lighthouse-docker. This decision was made to better focus on development of the core client. We will continue to provide official Docker images.

If you are currently using lighthouse-docker you need to either migrate to the community-fork, or eth-docker. You must do this before the mainnet merge in September 2022.

  1. Community-maintained fork of lighthouse-docker by @kimpers: https://github.com/kimpers/lighthouse-docker

The original README is preserved below.

Lighthouse Docker

Provides a docker-compose environment for running Lighthouse.

The following features are available:

  • A beacon node exposing a HTTP API on port 5052.
  • A validator client (optional) that connects to the beacon node.
  • Wallet and validator key generation (optional).

Usage

$ docker-compose up

A .lighthouse directory will be created in the repository root which contains the validator keys, beacon node database and other Lighthouse files.

Configuration

The docker-compose file requires that a .env file be present in this directory. The default.env file provides a template and can be copied .env:

$ cp default.env .env

Failure to create an .env file will result in the following error:

ERROR: Couldn't find env file: /home/karlm/lighthouse-docker/.env
