Aliaswalletd for Docker

Docker image that runs the Alias daemon node in a container for easy deployment.

This is a fork of kylemanna/docker-bitcoind, thx for the great work!

Requirements

• Physical machine, cloud instance, or VPS that supports Docker (i.e. Vultr, Digital Ocean, KVM or XEN based VMs) running Ubuntu 14.04 or later (not OpenVZ containers!)
• At least 10 GB to store the block chain files (and always growing!)
• At least 2 GB RAM + 2 GB swap file

Recommended and tested on unadvertised (only shown within control panel) Vultr SATA Storage 1024 MB RAM/250 GB disk instance @ $10/mo. Vultr also accepts Bitcoin payments!

Really Fast Quick Start

One liner for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machines with JSON-RPC enabled on localhost and adds upstart init script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aliascash/docker-aliaswalletd/master/bootstrap-host.sh | sh -s trusty

Quick Start

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

    docker volume create --name=alias-data
    docker run -v alias-data:/alias --name=aliaswalletd-node -d \
        -p 37347:37347 \
        -p 127.0.0.1:36657:36657 \
        aliascash/docker-aliaswalletd
   

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

    $ docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
    d0e1076b2dca        aliascash/docker-aliaswalletd:latest     "alias_oneshot"       2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        127.0.0.1:36657->36657/tcp, 0.0.0.0:37347->37347/tcp   alias-node
   

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

    docker logs -f aliaswalletd-node
   

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