Working With Docker

There are multiple ways to use Terp-Core with Docker. If you want to run Terp-Core inside a Docker setup and possibly connect the Docker container to other containerized compatible blockchain binaries, check out the guide on building a Docker image containing the Terp binary. If you instead want to generate a binary for use outside of Docker, but want to ensure the correct dependencies are used by building the binary inside a Docker container, then go ahead to the section on building the Terp-Core binary with Docker.

Prerequisites​

General Setup​

In order to build Terp-Core binaries with Heighliner, it is necessary to

  • Have go installed.
  • Checkout the commit, branch, or release tag you want to build for Terp Network (e.g. v5.0.1)

Building A Docker Image​

make docker-build

Build a docker image & save it locally​

This will create an image with the name terpnetwork/terp-core and the version tag local. Now it is possible to run the terpd binary in the container, e.g. evaluating its version:

docker run -it --rm terpnetwork/terp-core:local terpd version

Nice​

Now that you have built the terp-core binary, either for local use or in a Docker container, you'll find information to run a node instance in the following section on setting up a local network.
