Neobytesd for Docker

Docker image that runs the Neobytes neobytesd node in a container for easy deployment.

Requirements

• Physical machine, cloud instance, or VPS that supports Docker (i.e. Vultr, Digital Ocean, KVM or XEN based VMs) running Ubuntu 18.04 or later (not OpenVZ containers!)
• At least 500 GB to store the block chain files (and always growing!)
• At least 1 GB RAM + 2 GB swap file

Quick Start

1. Create a neobytesd-data volume to persist the neobytesd blockchain data, should exit immediately. The neobytesd-data container will store the blockchain when the node container is recreated (software upgrade, reboot, etc):

    docker volume create --name=neobytesd-data
    docker run -v neobytesd-data:/neobytes/.neobytes --name=neobytesd-node -d \
        -p 1428:1428 \
        -p 127.0.0.1:1427:1427 \
        neobytes/neobytesd
   

2. Verify that the container is running and neobytesd node is downloading the blockchain

    $ docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
    d0e1076b2dca        neobytes/neobytesd:latest     "nby_oneshot"       2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        127.0.0.1:1427->1427/tcp, 0.0.0.0:148->1428/tcp   neobytesd-node
   

3. You can then access the daemon's output thanks to the docker logs command

    docker logs -f neobytesd-node
   

4. Install optional init scripts for upstart and systemd are in the init directory.
