Run drasyl CLI through Docker
Archive notice: This post preserves its original account of a research project, software artifact, or engineering milestone. It does not by itself describe the origin or scope of the current Netsody platform.

The drasyl CLI can now be used within a Docker Container. To do so, we’ve uploaded the current release on Docker Hub.

Mini How To

Get help:

$ docker run -i -t drasyl/drasyl version
Usage:
  drasyl [flags]
  drasyl [command]

Available Commands:
genidentity    Generate and output new Identity.
version        Show the version number.
help           Show help for drasyl commands and flags.
node           Run a drasyl node.

Flags:
-h,--help      Show this help.

Use "drasyl [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Run a node:

# 1. generate an identity (this can take some time)
$ docker run -i -t drasyl/drasyl genidentity | grep -v "WARNING:" > drasyl.identity

# 2. start the node
$ docker run -i -t -p 22527:22527 \
    -v $PWD/drasyl.identity:/drasyl.identity \
    drasyl/drasyl node

This command passes the generated identity to the docker container and launches the drasyl node command.
