Building the Docker image locally

Ensure that you have Nix installed and the IOHK binary cache enabled (instructions).

Then run this command from the cardano-wallet git repo:

docker load -i $(nix-build -A dockerImage.shelley --no-out-link)

If you have no local changes, the build should be downloaded from the IOHK binary cache then loaded into your local Docker image storage.

Inspecting the contents of the Docker image

The default entrypoint of the image is /bin/start-cardano-wallet-shelley. If you need to run a shell inside the Docker image, use the bash shell as the entrypoint:

docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash inputoutput/cardano-wallet:shelley

Docker compose

One can also use docker-compose to quickly spin up cardano-wallet together with supported block producer.
