BitShares 2 - Docker

This repository serves as an archive for instructions to build docker images for BitShares 2 and corresponding tools.

Step-By-Step

If installing on EC2

sudo yum install -y docker
sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
# logout and log back in to allow this to take effect)
docker info
git clone https://github.com/xeroc/bitshares-docker.git
cd bitshares-docker

Running a Full Node

./run-trusted-full-node.sh

This exposes port 9090 globally to get access to the P2P network. If you want to expose the RPC port to you need to run:

./run-trusted-full-node-rpc.sh

Running a Delayed Node

./run-trusted-full-node.sh  ## Dependency for the delayed container
./run-delayed-node.sh

The delayed node will automatically interface with the trusted node on a private network. The delayed node will expose port 8091 for RPC queries and bind to localhost only.

Running a CLI wallet

./run-trusted-full-node.sh  ## Dependency for the delayed container
./run-cli-wallet.sh

The CLI wallet will automatically interface with the trusted node on a private network. The cli wallet will expose port 8092 for RPC queries and will bind to localhost only.

Running the web wallet

./run-web-wallet.sh

This container basically only contains a nginx server that can be configured from outside the container. The delivered data has to be stored in web-wallet-data/www/ while the nginx configuration is located in web-wallet-data/conf/. Providing the web wallet itself is task of the container user. SSL configuration is left to the user as well.

All Containers

bitshares-2

This image serves as a dependency for the other images. It contains an Ubuntu distribution and has the bitshares 2 application sources and executables included.

bitshares-2-trusted-full-node

Anybody interested in supporting the bitshares 2 network should run this image. It opens a witness node and connects to the P2P network as full-node.

bitshares-2-delayed-node

The delayed node is of particular interest for exchanges and 3rd party service providers. If interfacing to his node's API, all information available will be irreversible on the blockchain.

bitshares-2-cli-wallet

The CLI wallet connects to a trusted full node and offers an API to interact with the blockchain (transfers, orders, etc..)

bitshares-2-webwallet

This image contains the web wallet and hosts it via nginx. In order to have a SSL-secured connection, a new build with corresponding settings and certificats is required.

bitshares-2-webwallet-full

This image contains a full Ubuntu distribution and required development tools to build the web wallet.

Build Instructions

The Dockerfiles that build the container are provided in the build sub directory. The corresponding build-docker.sh script will build the containers.
