An unofficial Docker image for Sia [Deprecated as of 2020-04-02]

docker-sia

Deprecation

This Docker image is no longer maintained and will no longer receive updates after Sia v.1.4.4.

The Nebulous team has repeatedly made changes that break the Sia Docker image and other downstream clients of Sia. The team has not been receptive to feedback about correcting these problems, and I no longer have the bandwidth to create workarounds.

Update (2020-04-08): The Nebulous team now offers an official Sia Docker image.

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 \
  --name sia-container \
   mtlynch/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.

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"}
