Docker image for Chiadog

DEPRECATED

This repository is no longer supported. As of this commit Docker is now natively supported in the Chiadog repository. Thanks to @Artanicus for making this possible.

chiadog-docker

Overview

This repo provides a basic Docker image that can be used to run the Chiadog monitoring daemon for Chia.

Startup

It is recommended to store the Chiadog config.yaml in persistent storage outside of the Docker container. Chiadog will also need access to the chia-blockchain logs at INFO level.

docker cli

In this example the optional flags mount a persistent directory for Chiadog configuration at /root/.chiadog and it provides read-only access to Chia logs in the normal location. Your Chia keys are not visable to this container.

docker pull artjacobson/chiadog-docker:latest
docker run --name <container-name> -d artjacobson/chiadog-docker:latest
(optional -v /path/to/config_dir:/root/.chiadog -v path-to-chia-logs:/root/.chia/mainnet/log:ro)

If Chia is also running in a container, sharing a volume between the chia-docker and chiadog-docker can be done instead of sharing an absolute path on the host machine.

docker volume create chia-home
docker run --name <container-name> -d artjacobson/chiadog-docker:latest -v chia-home:/root/.chia:ro
docker run --name <container-name> -d ghcr.io/chia-network/chia:latest -v chia-home:/root/.chia <additional args for keys and plots>

docker-compose

version: "3"

services:
    chiadog:
        container_name: chiadog
        image: artjacobson/chiadog-docker:latest
        volumes:
            - ./config:/root/.chiadog
            - /path/to/chia/log:/root/.chia/mainnet/log:ro
            - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
        restart: unless-stopped

Ensure that the directory mounted for /root/.chiadog includes a config.yaml.

Configuration

The path to config.yaml can be passed via the config_dir environment variable. Ensure that your config.yaml is on a persistent volume, and the file_log_consumer has been configured with a correct absolute path within the container.

The timezone can also be set via the TZ environment variable. A list of available timezones can be found here.

-e config_dir="/root/.chiadog/config.yaml" -e TZ="America/Chicago"

Updating

Provided that the configuration is on a persistent volume, updating can be done by deleting the container, fetching the latest image, and relaunching it with the appropriate arguments.

docker cli

docker stop <container-name>
docker rm <container-name>
docker pull artjacobson/chiadog-docker:latest
docker run --name <container-name> -d artjacobson/chiadog-docker:latest -v /path/to/config_dir:/root/.chiadog -v path-to-chia-logs:/root/.chia/mainnet/log:ro -e config_dir="/root/.chiadog/config.yaml"

docker-compose

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d
