Usage

mkdir sia-data
docker run \
  --detach \
  --volume $(pwd)/sia-data:/sia-data \
  --publish 127.0.0.1:9980:9980 \
  --publish 9981:9981 \
  --publish 9982:9982 \
  --publish 9983:9983 \
  --publish 9984:9984 \
  --name sia-container \
   esurdam/sia

Important: Never publish port 9980 to all interfaces. This is a security-sensitive API, so only expose it beyond 127.0.0.1 if you know what you're doing.

By default, the container uses the following defaults:

• SIA_DIR is /sia
• SIA_DATA_DIR is /sia-data
• SIAD_DATA_DIR is /sia-data

You can change the values of SIA_DATA_DIR and SIAD_DATA_DIR by supplying new environment variables for the container using the -e option:
-e SIA_DATA_DIR=/new-sia-data-dir
-e SIAD_DATA_DIR=/new-siad-data-dir

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

$ docker exec -it sia-container siac consensus
Synced: No
Height: 3800
Progress (estimated): 2.4%

You can also call siad from outside the container:

$ curl -A "Sia-Agent" "http://localhost:9980/consensus"
{"synced":false,"height":4690,"currentblock":"0000000000007d656e3bb0099737892b9073259cb05883b04c6f518fbf0faffb","target":[0,0,0,0,0,2,200,179,126,85,220,153,25,190,195,228,72,53,129,181,62,124,175,60,255,90,105,68,179,16,6,71],"difficulty":"101104922300609"}

Logs

If you are interested in siad's logs you can start the container with the following option --log-driver local and docker will keep the logs on disk. More info here.

If you want to follow the logs while still being detached from the container, you can use docker logs -f <container>
