Run Local Node With Docker​

Single Node​

Clone Repository

git clone git@github.com:mycel-domain/mycel.git
cd mycel

Build

docker build . -t mycel -f dockerfile-node

Run

docker run -it --rm \
    -p26657:26657 \
    -p1317:1317 \
    -p4500:4500 \
    -v ~/.mycel:/root/.mycel \
    mycel

You can generate your ~/.mycel config directory with ignite chain init

Multiple Nodes​

Setup node1 using docker compose:​

docker compose up

Setup node2:​

Initialize node2

docker compose exec node2 myceld init node2

Copy genesis.json

docker compose cp node1:/root/.mycel/config/genesis.json /tmp/genesis.json
docker compose cp /tmp/genesis.json node2:/root/.mycel/config/genesis.json

Update config.toml

docker compose exec node2 sed -i "s/persistent_peers = \"\"/persistent_peers = \"$(docker compose exec node1 myceld tendermint show-node-id)@node1:26656\"/g" /root/.mycel/config/config.toml

Setup key

docker compose exec node2 myceld keys add validator
NODE2_ADDR=$(docker compose exec node2 myceld keys show validator --output json | jq -r '.address') # enter password

Send stake token from node1

docker compose exec node1 myceld tx bank send alice $NODE2_ADDR 50000000stake

Stake

docker compose exec node2 myceld tx staking create-validator \
    --amount 50000000stake \
    --from validator --pubkey=$(docker compose exec node2 myceld tendermint show-validator) \
    --moniker="node2" \
    --commission-rate="0.1" \
    --commission-max-rate="0.2" \
    --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
    --min-self-delegation="50000000" \
    --node tcp://node1:26657

Check validators

docker compose exec node1 myceld q staking validators

Start node2

docker compose exec node2 myceld start
