About

There is already steemd-docker, so why another Docker image for steemd?

There is one major issue with the approached being used there. When using Docker Machine, mounting a local directory as a volume degrades performance significantly. That's why the image presented in this repository uses a different way - a data volume container.

How to Hold It Right

Let's see how to make the whole thing work.

The Data Container

1. Create - docker create -v /steemdata --name steemdata ubuntu:16.04 /bin/true

The Steemd Container

In you are using Docker Machine, use HOST set to 0.0.0.0, otherwise you can use 127.0.0.0 just fine.

1. Build - docker build -t steemd:dockerized . There is a bunch of arguments available, please check Dockerfile for what is possible to overwrite.
2. Configure - Copy config.ini.example to config.ini and modify as needed.
3. Run - docker run -d -p $HOST:8090:8090 --volumes-from steemdata --name steemd steemd:dockerized
4. You can see what is happening now by running docker logs -f steemd.
