xerom-node-dockerized

Xerom node daemon for the Xerom (XERO) Network

This method uses a bind mount to persist the blockchain data on the host.

To simplify things, basic operations have been added as Makefile commands.

To build:

make image

To run the node / daemon (non-interactive):

make node

To access the running node interactively with the geth console:

make attach

To run as a systemd service:

Assuming you have created a user xeromnode in group xeromnode and have cloned this repository in the xeromnode home user directory, the following service file will start the daemon automatically at system startup.

Enter the following into /etc/systemd/system/xeromnode.service:

[Unit]
Description=Xerom node daemon service
After=network.target

[Service]
User=xeromnode
Group=xeromnode
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=30s
WorkingDirectory=/home/xeromnode/xerom-node-dockerized
ExecStart=/usr/bin/make node

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

After creating the service file, enable and restart the service:

systemctl enable xeromnode
systemctl restart xeromnode

NOTE: You must make sure the service is running if you use interactive mode for the geth console.

To stop the service:

systemctl stop xeromnode

To restart the service:

systemctl restart xeromnode

Docker Hub:

Skip the entire build process by using a prebuilt image from Docker Hub. This is only recommended for testing & development. We cannot guaruntee how often the image will be updated.

To use the above systemd service together with docker hub images:

Edit the Makefile and replace all occurrances of xerom:${GIT_REF} with wattpool/xeromnode, then coninue setup in the section aboove, "To run as a systemd service".

To pull the image:

docker pull wattpool/xeromnode

To run the image:

docker run wattpool/xeromnode

To run the image with a bind mount:

docker run --mount source=xerom,target=/root wattpool/xeromnode

To access the running node interactively with the geth console:

docker run wattpool/xeromnode attach
