Prerequisites

Requires that Docker be installed on the host machine. This requires at least Docker 17.05 for both daemon and client due to the multi-stage build.

Building

If you like to build it from these sources, for a new Energycoin daemon version for example, follow these instructions. $ docker build --no-cache -t wimjaap/energycoind:latest .

Running

If you just want to run a node, follow these! Create a directory to store Energycoin data

$ mkdir ~/energycoin_data

Pull the latest version and run with your parameters. See below for all parameters.

$ docker pull wimjaap/energycoind:latest

$ docker run --name energycoind -d --env 'ENRG_RPCUSER=user' --env 'ENRG_RPCPASSWORD=password' --volume ~/energycoin_data:/energycoin --publish 22705:22706 wimjaap/energycoind

Configuration

A custom energycoin.conf file can be placed in the mounted data directory. Otherwise, a default energycoin.conf file will be automatically generated based on environment variables passed to the container:

name	default
ENRG_RPCUSER	user
ENRG_RPCPASSWORD	password
ENRG_RPCALLOWIP	127.0.0.1
ENRG_DISABLEWALLET	0
ENRG_STAKING	1
ENRG_TXINDEX	1

Of course you are free to change, or add any parameter the energycoin.conf after running.

Sending commands to the energycoind container You can use another container to sends commands to your energycoind container. This way you can manage your wallet, unlock your wallet for staking etc. For a full list run:

$ docker run --rm --network container:energycoind --volume ~/energycoin_data:/energycoin wimjaap/energycoind help

Staking

Make sure staking=1 and disablewallet=0 is set in your configuration, these are the default values. Send some coins from an exchange to your ENRG address, you can find it by running:

$ docker run --rm --network container:energycoind --volume ~/energycoin_data:/energycoin wimjaap/energycoind getaccountaddress ""

Encrypt your wallet using a passphrase

$ docker run --rm --network container:energycoind --volume ~/energycoin_data:/energycoin wimjaap/energycoind encryptwallet 'my secret passphrase'

Your energycoind will stop. Restart it with:

$ docker start energycoind

Now you can unlock your wallet using "walletpassphrase". This command needs a "minutes" argument. The wallet will be unlocked for this amount of minutes. Also, optional you can add a "mintonly" argument to unlock for staking only.

$ docker run --rm --network container:energycoind --volume ~/energycoin_data:/energycoin wimjaap/energycoind walletpassphrase 'my secret passphrase' 3600 true

Example command would unlock the wallet for an hour with my passphrase and unlock for staking only. If you want to unlock "forever", set the minutes to the maximum: 9999999999999999999. As an alternative you could also use cron or "Scheduled Tasks" to run the unlock at an interval. Note, if you wish to extend the unlock time, send a "walletlock" command first.
