Quick start to get a local swarm up and running.
-
Clone this repository.
-
Locate the local interface IP address.
$ ifconfig en1
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::1837:c97f:df86:c36f%en1 prefixlen 64 secured scopeid 0xa
-->>inet 192.168.0.34 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
nd6 options=201<PERFORMNUD,DAD>
media: autoselect
status: active
In the above case, the IP address of the local interface is 192.168.0.34.
If you do not see inet <ipaddress>, run ifconfig and comb through manually to find your local IP address.
- Modify the .env file at the root of the repository to include the local interface IP.
...
LOCAL_IP=192.168.0.34
...
-
Create an account with Etherscan: https://etherscan.io/register
-
Create an Etherscan API KEY by clicking Developers -> API-KEYs.
-
Modify the .env to include the Api-Key Token.
...
ETHEREUM_IO_API_TOKEN=***********************
...
- Modify the .env file to include an Ethereum mainnet address that contains tokens or use the sample address provided below.
...
ETHEREUM_ADDRESS=0xddbd2b932c763ba5b1b7ae3b362eac3e8d40121a
...
- Setup a swarm-home directory and place the directory in the .env file
$ mkdir $HOME/swarm_home
...
SWARM_HOME=$HOME/swarm_home
...
- Launch the swarm inside docker using the compose file.
$ docker-compose up
