Backend Dockerfile

There are two way to create a node 1) compile from source code and 2) get pre compiled version of images. Dockerfile for easily setting up a node and instructions are for building backend from the source code (This takes sometime to build i.e. around 20-40 minutes). These instructions are valid for first time use and once docker images are created and working then use docker start ... command, for more detail see the wiki pages. This build image contains both older version of UI (i.e. Splicious UI) and newer version of Synereo UI.

Prerequisites

Minimum 2GB RAM but 4 GB RAM is recommended for compling the source code.
Basic knowledge of Docker. Docker installed (https://www.docker.com/) and running Docker process. Using Kitematic to start the docker process is very helpful and advisable if using Windows or Mac. Make a note of assigned IP address when starting up Docker and for example, in Windows and Mac, assigned IP address is 192.168.99.100.

MongoDB is required to run a standalone node. MongoDB and RabbitMQ are required to run a full node.

git client installed and git command in path if want to build the node from scratch otherwise use Docker image (preferred method - WIP)
mongodb running version: 2.6.4 (https://www.mongodb.com/) but it worked with the latest version. Follow the instruction below if want to use Docker image. Importing old MongoDB database dump from different node is not advisable.

docker pull mongo then docker run --name mdb1 -p 27017:27017 -d mongo

Source files

Download files in a directory of your choice or use command as below to build Docker image (make sure docker is running and available). Windows users, run "git config --global core.autocrlf false" command before running the git clone command otherwise container may fail to execute properly.

1. git clone https://github.com/n10n/dockernode.git dockernode

Build docker image using:

Run the following commands

2a. cd dockernode
2b. docker build -t snode .

Use "snode" as image name in subsequent steps where image id is required. You can use image name of your choice but it must be all lowercase.

Running docker image - manual process:

Use the following command to run a container from an image i.e. "snode" as in step 2b.

3a. docker run -it --link mdb1:mongo \
               -e NODEADMINEMAIL=a@localhost \
               -e NODEADMINPASS=al \
               -e DB_HOST=192.168.99.100 \
               -e DB_PORT=27017 \
               -p 8888:9876 -p 80:9000 \
               --name backendNode \
               snode /bin/bash

At the # prompt, run the commands below to run backend

3b. cd /usr/local/splicious
3c. ./splicious.sh start

At the # prompt, run the commands below to run frontui

4b. cd /usr/local/frontui
4c. ./frontui.sh start

If want to stop the server run above commands with stop argument i.e. ./splicious.sh stop and ./frontui.sh stop
