This guide provides detailed steps to build and run a `nwaku` node in a Docker container. If you prefer a pre-configured setup with a monitoring dashboard, see the [Run Nwaku with Docker Compose](/run-node/run-docker-compose) guide.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Ensure [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) is installed on your system using the appropriate instructions provided in the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
We recommend running a `nwaku` node with at least 2GB of RAM, especially if `WSS` is enabled. If running just a `Relay` node, 0.5GB of RAM is sufficient.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Get Docker image
|
|
|
|
The Nwaku Docker images are available on the Docker Hub public registry under the [wakuorg/nwaku](https://hub.docker.com/r/wakuorg/nwaku) repository. Please visit [wakuorg/nwaku/tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/wakuorg/nwaku/tags) for images of specific releases.
|
|
|
|
## Build Docker image
|
|
|
|
You can also build the Docker image locally:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Clone the repository
|
|
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku
|
|
cd nwaku
|
|
|
|
# Build docker image
|
|
make docker-image
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run Docker container
|
|
|
|
Run `nwaku` in a new Docker container:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker run [OPTIONS] [IMAGE] [ARG...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `OPTIONS` are your selected [Docker options](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#options)
|
|
- `IMAGE` is the image and tag you pulled from the registry or built locally
|
|
- `ARG...` is the list of arguments for your [node configuration options](/run-node/config-options)
|
|
|
|
Run `nwaku` using the most typical configuration:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker run -i -t -p 60000:60000 -p 9000:9000/udp wakuorg/nwaku:v0.32.0 \
|
|
--dns-discovery=true \
|
|
--dns-discovery-url=enrtree://AIRVQ5DDA4FFWLRBCHJWUWOO6X6S4ZTZ5B667LQ6AJU6PEYDLRD5O@sandbox.waku.nodes.status.im \
|
|
--discv5-discovery=true \
|
|
--nat=extip:[YOUR PUBLIC IP] # or, if you are behind a nat: --nat=any
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To find your public IP, use:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com | awk -F'"' '{ print $2}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more detailed information about all possible configurations, please run
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker run -t wakuorg/nwaku:v0.32.0 --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Note that running a node in The Waku Network (--cluster-id=1) requires a special set of configurations and therefore, it is recommended to run in this case with docker compose
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
We recommend using explicit port mappings (`-p`) when exposing ports accessible from outside the host (listening and discovery ports, API servers).
