Run WaykiChain Docker container

1. create a host dir to keep container data (you are free to choose your own preferred dir path)
   • For mainnet: sudo mkdir -p /opt/docker-instances/waykicoind-main
   • For testnet: sudo mkdir -p /opt/docker-instances/waykicoind-test
2. first, cd into the above created node host dir and create data and conf subdirs:
   • sudo mkdir data conf
3. copy the entire Docker/bin dir from WaykiChain repository:
   • sudo cp -r ${your_path_of_WaykiChain}/Docker/bin ./
4. copy WaykiCoind.conf into conf dir from WaykiChain repository:
   • sudo cp -r ${your_path_of_WaykiChain}/Docker/WaykiChain.conf ./conf/
5. modify content of WaykiCoind.conf accordingly
   • For mainnet, please make sure nettype=main is set
   • For testnet, please make sure only nettype=test is set
   • For regtest, please make suer only nettype=regtest is set
   • For common nodes (no mining), please set gen=0 to avoid computing resources waste
