docker-valutod

The official docker container for running valutod for any system that supports Docker.

Can be used for testing the RPC client, application development or even as a way to get started quickly with valutod without compiling anything.

Usage

mkdir valuto-data
docker run \
  --volume $(pwd)/valuto-data:/valuto-data \
  --publish 127.0.0.1:40332:40332 \
  --publish 40333:40333 \
  --publish 41333:41333 \
  --name valutod \
   valuto/valutod

Important: Never publish port 40332 to all interfaces. This is a security-sensitive RPC API, so only expose it beyond 127.0.0.1 if you know what you're doing.

The first time you start the container, it will exit with the following error message:

Error: To use valutod, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/valuto-data/valutod.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=valutorpc
rpcpassword=3qyKyurz9WvAag3b7cNo2A1pU8fBUsip3TRXWa45WBsV
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Valuto Alert" admin@foo.com

You should create the file valuto.conf in the valuto-data directory and append the two lines suggested by valutod. valutod will suggest a random password for you. Do not use the one from the example above.

After creating the valuto.conf file, the container can be started again.

docker start valutod

Once the container is running, you can execute valutod from within the container:

$ docker exec -it valutod ./valutod getblockcount
