Build with Docker & Docker Compose

Currently you can build and run locally in a Docker containers the following components of the Nym Privacy Platform:

• One genesis validator
• Any number of secondary validators
• A contract uploader, that uploads the contract built from the local sources
• The web wallet application, accessible on port 3000
• The block explorer application, accessible on port 3080
• The network explorer application, accessible on port 3040, for registered users

Running

The following commands need to be run from the root of the Nym git project.

To build the entire dockerized environment, run the following command:

PERSONAL_TOKEN=[network explorer token] docker-compose build

or build each service separately, as changes are made to their relevant source code. Note network-explorer build time is currently very high, so building it more than once is not advisable.

To start the dockerized environment, run the following command:

METEOR_SETTINGS=$(cat docker/block_explorer/settings.json) docker-compose up -d --scale=secondary_validator=3

Note: The secondary_validator=3 can take any other number as value, depending on the desired setup.

The web wallet interface will become available at localhost:3000.

The mnemonic needed to connect to the admin user, which also has a pre-added number of tokens, can be obtained by running:

docker logs nym_mnemonic_echo_1

To stop the dockerized environment, run:

docker-compose down
