status-go/_assets/compose/bootnode

Status Bootnode

This folder contains setup for running your own Bootnode. It uses:

• Docker Compose for managing the bootnode container.
• Makefile to simplify the process for the user.

Requirements

This Makefile uses two tools: jq and docker-compose.

Usage

To simply start a container run make, other commands include:

• make start - Starts the status-go-bootnode container.
• make stop - Stops the container.
• make show - Shows you current status of the container.
• make logs - Shows you logs of the container.
• make enode - Shows enode address of bootnode.
• make keys/nodekey - Creates unique identity for bootnode.

Settings

All settings are passed through environment variables:

• PUBLIC_IP - Your IP visible from the internet and advertised by the Bootnode.
• LISTEN_PORT - Bootnode UDP port, by default it's 30301 but you might want to use 443.
• RPC_PORT - Control port making it possible to use the JSON-RPC API.
• API_MODULES - API modules to be made available via the RPC_PORT.
• CONTAINER_NAME - Name of the container that will be created.
• LOG_LEVEL - Set level of log messages to show. (default: 1=ERROR, 2=WARN, 3=INFO, 4=DEBUG, 5=TRACE)

Known Issues

If the discovery of your Public IP does not work please simply export the PUBLIC_IP env variable. You can also set LISTEN_PORT to something else to avoid firewall issues.

$ export PUBLIC_IP=1.2.3.4
$ export LISTEN_PORT=443
$ make
