MyEtherWallet (MEW) Docker

The main reason why I created this Docker image is because I want to use it for my local smart-contracts development work. Since I'm using testrpc/Ganache, it's not possible for me to use myetherwallet.com because MEW wants HTTPS RPC URL and I don't want to spend more time figuring out how to do SSL for my testrpc/Ganache that runs locally.

Since MEW supports Custom Network, we can run and use it locally to connect to our testrpc/Ganache which also runs locally. Problem solved.

This is how it looks:

And, I can see my cat tokens now! 😻

P/S: That CAT token is just a toy token which I developed to proof here that MEW is a good tool for smart-contracts development especially if you are dealing with tokens.

How to build the image with custom MEW version?

$ docker build --build-arg MEW_VERSION=X.X.X.X -t zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:vX.X.X.X .

Example:

$ docker build --build-arg MEW_VERSION=3.11.3.1 -t zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:v3.11.3.1 .

How to assign more tag to the Docker image?

For example, how to tag zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:v3.11.3.1 above to zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:latest?

$ docker tag zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:v3.11.3.1 zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:latest

How to run it locally?

$ docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:vTHE_TAG_THAT_YOU_GAVE_FOR_THE_IMAGE_ABOVE

Example:

$ docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:v3.11.3.1

Your MEW will be available at http://localhost:8888/

How to get the latest Docker image from DockerHub without building the image?

This is the fastest way for you to get started actually.

$ docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 zulhfreelancer/mew_docker:latest

Update on 28 May 2019

Looks like this only works on Chrome browser. Not quite sure why it stopped working on Firefox browser.
