Running devcoind in Docker
Once you have Docker up & running, all you have to do is to run the following command:
$ docker run -tid --name devcoind develcuy/devcoind
Previous command will download an image and run a new container named: devcoind. This might take sometime depending on your Internet speed.
For more information please visit: https://hub.docker.com/r/develcuy/devcoind/
Make sure devcoind is up and running
NOTICE: This instructions work in Linux only. If you know how to do the same in other OS, please add such info to this wiki.
Step 1 - check the container:
$ docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 97624446be9d devcoind "/usr/bin/supervisor 10 seconds ago Up 10 seconds 52332/tcp devcoind
Step 2 - look for the devcoind process:
$ ps afx | grep devcoind 22792 ? SLsl 0:39 \_ /usr/local/bin/devcoind
If you are able to see similar output in both steps, then things are working fine.
Interact with devcoind
The container is running devcoind under 'devcoin' user, so first run the following commands to get a working shell:
$ docker exec -ti devcoind bash # su - devcoin -s /bin/bash devcoin@97624446be9d:~$
Now run a few commands devcoind commands:
$ devcoind getinfo
