My previous post EOS Build Guide on Ubuntu provides instructions to build EOS on native machine. But Docker has many advantages, especially compatibility, so that providing information for Docker users sounds a good idea to me. This post is a brief guide of using EOS (eosd, eosc). Example contracts are not available since Dockerfile in the official repo deletes them after building, but I think we can make easy modifications soon.
Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy docker-ce
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce git
sudo systemctl status docker
Install Docker-compose (maybe optional)
sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.11.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose -v
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Build docker image
screen -S dockerbuild
git clone https://github.com/EOSIO/eos
cd eos/Docker
cp ../genesis.json .
We need to add plugin to use eosc, until EOS devs fix it.
nano config.ini
Add the following
plugin = eos::chain_api_plugin
Build
sudo docker build --rm -t eosio/eos .
Optional
sudo rm -rf /data/store/eos
sudo mkdir -p /data/store/eos
Run Docker
sudo docker run --rm --name eos -d -p 8888:8888 -p 9876:9876 eosio/eos
sudo docker logs --tail 10 eos # Check log
Run eosc
sudo docker exec eos /opt/eos/bin/eosc info
sudo docker exec eos /opt/eos/bin/eosc create key
sudo docker exec eos /opt/eos/bin/eosc create account eos tester EOS4toFS3YXEQCkuuw1aqDLrtHim86Gz9u3hBdcBw5KNPZcursVHq EOS6KdkmwhPyc2wxN9SAFwo2PU2h74nWs7urN1uRduAwkcns2uXsa
sudo docker exec eos /opt/eos/bin/eosc transfer eos tester 1000
sudo docker exec eos /opt/eos/bin/eosc account tester
(Example contracts are under tmp/eos/contracts which were deleted in Dockerfile)
