You can modify the behavior of your Chia container by setting specific environment variables.

To ensure that your chia config settings and sycned blockchain persist, you can pass in a directory for /data

-v /path/to/data:/data

To use your own keys, place your secret mnemonic into a file and pass as arguments on startup.

-v /path/to/key/file:/path/in/container -e keys="/path/in/container"

or pass keys into the running container

docker exec -it <container-name> venv/bin/chia keys add

To start a farmer only node pass

-e farmer="true"

To start a harvester only node pass

-e harvester="true" -e farmer_address="addres.of.farmer" -e farmer_port="portnumber" -v /path/to/ssl/ca:/path/in/container -e ca="/path/in/container"
