Clone the Peerplays Docker repository:
git clone https://gitlab.com/PBSA/PeerplaysIO/tools-libs/peerplays-docker
Use the install script to download/update the docker image for Peerplays:
./run.sh install
Edit the configuration for the witness or seed in in ./data/witness_node_data_dir/
The final configuration file must be:
./data/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini
Optionally: you can edit the .env file in the root of the project to easily adjust parameters for running the project with Docker
cp example.env .envvim .env
The default setting will be to use the latest Peerplays (Mainnet) image. To change this, specify the DOCKER_IMAGE variable
Start the witness node:
./run.sh start
The logs can be seen with run.sh logs command.
