NEVER USE THIS ON PRODUCTION
A set of Docker images to create a local Ethereum network with three nodes and a monitor.
The testnet consists out of multiple parts :
- 1 Bootnode - registers existing nodes on the network, discovery service.
- 2 Miners - Also called sealers with proof-of-authority. They validate the blocks. No RPC is exposed as they are required to be unlocked.
- 1 Node - This serves as transaction relay and is a fullnode that does not mine, is locked but has RPC exposed
- 1 Blockchain explorer - Lightweight web application to explore the blockchain through web application.
The RPC Ports of the nodes are mapped to your localhost, the addresses are:
- geth-dev-miner-1 : No RPC exposed
- geth-dev-miner-2: No RPC exposed
- geth-dev-node: http://localhost:8545
The blockchain explorer is a simple node.js web application being provided by a seperate container: geth-explorer. The application uses the web3 javascript API to fetch the data from geth-dev-node through RPC calls. The blockchain explorer can be found at http://localhost:8080.
