Kylacoind for Docker

Docker image that runs the Kylacoin kylacoind node in a container for easy deployment.

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 2 GB to store the block chain files
• At least 1 GB RAM + 2 GB swap file

Recommended and tested on unadvertised (only shown within control panel) Vultr. Vultr also accepts crypto 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/kylacoin/docker-kylacoind/master/bootstrap-host.sh | sh -s trusty

Quick Start

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

    docker volume create --name=kylacoind-data
    docker run -v kylacoind-data:/kylacoin/.kylacoin --name=kylacoind-node -d \
        -p 5111:5111 \
        -p 127.0.0.1:5110:5110 \
        kylacoin/kylacoind
   

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

    $ docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
    d0e1076b2dca        kylacoin/kylacoind:latest     "kcn_oneshot"       2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        127.0.0.1:5110->5110/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5111->5111/tcp   kylacoind-node
   

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

    docker logs -f kylacoind-node
   

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