Dockerized Steem wallet/miner

Prerequisites

Please see the Docker installation documentation for details on how to install or upgrade your Docker daemon.

Quick Start

Download an image with Steem wallet software from DockerHub

docker pull teego/steem_wallet

Create a data folder

mkdir -p ~/.steem/witness_node_data_dir

Extract a default config file from an image

docker run -it teego/steem_blockchain cat /witness_node_data_dir/config.ini >~/.steem/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini

Edit witness, miner and mining-threads options

# name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = "account"

# name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"]

# Number of threads to use for proof of work mining
mining-threads = 2

Launch a wallet container

docker run --name steem_wallet -p 8090:8090 -v ~/.steem/witness_node_data_dir:/witness_node_data_dir teego/steem_wallet

Once you have a wallet container running, you can run a command line interface

docker exec -it steem_wallet /root/steem/programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet

Preloaded blockchain

Download an image with preloaded blockchain from DockerHub

docker pull teego/steem_blockchain

Create a new named container with a volume to share. While this container doesn’t run an application, it reuses the teego/steem_blockchain image so that all containers are using layers in common, saving disk space.

docker create --name steem_blockchain teego/steem_blockchain /bin/true

You can then use the --volumes-from flag to mount the a data volume.

docker run --name steem_wallet -p 8090:8090 --volumes-from steem_blockchain -v ~/.steem/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini:/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini teego/steem_wallet
