# Quickstart: running nwaku in a Docker container
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to run a nwaku node in a Docker container.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Docker installed.
|
|
Installation instructions for different platforms can be found in the [Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
|
|
|
|
For example, to use Docker's convenience script for installation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
|
|
sudo sh get-docker.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Get Docker image
|
|
|
|
Nwaku Docker images are published to the Docker Hub public registry under [`wakuorg/nwaku`](https://hub.docker.com/r/wakuorg/nwaku).
|
|
For specific releases the published images are tagged with the release version, e.g. [`wakuorg/nwaku:v0.20.0`](https://hub.docker.com/layers/wakuorg/nwaku/v0.20.0/images/sha256-9976ac2dc536fae49b21f7b77618aa6f0efb59c694e7b3181e54c08be0c4f089?context=explore).
|
|
Images are also published for each commit to the `master` branch in the [nwaku repo](https://github.com/status-im/nwaku/commits/master)
|
|
and tagged with the corresponding commit hash.
|
|
See [`wakuorg/nwaku`](https://hub.docker.com/r/wakuorg/nwaku/tags) on Docker Hub for a full list of available tags.
|
|
|
|
To pull the image of your choice, use
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker pull wakuorg/nwaku:v0.20.0 # or, whichever tag you prefer in the format wakuorg/nwaku:[tag]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also build the Docker image locally using
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku
|
|
cd nwaku
|
|
docker build -t wakuorg/nwaku:latest .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Run
|
|
|
|
To run nwaku in a new Docker container,
|
|
use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [ARG...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where `OPTIONS` are your selected Docker options,
|
|
`IMAGE` the image and tag you pulled from the registry or built in Step 1
|
|
and `ARG...` the list of nwaku arguments for your [chosen nwaku configuration](./how-to/configure.md).
|
|
|
|
For Docker options we recommend explicit port mappings (`-p`) at least
|
|
for your exposed libp2p listening ports
|
|
and any discovery ports (e.g. the Waku discv5 port) that must be reachable from outside the host.
|
|
|
|
As an example, consider the following command to run nwaku in a Docker container with the most typical configuration:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -i -t -p 60000:60000 -p 9000:9000/udp wakuorg/nwaku:v0.20.0 \
|
|
--dns-discovery:true \
|
|
--dns-discovery-url:enrtree://AIRVQ5DDA4FFWLRBCHJWUWOO6X6S4ZTZ5B667LQ6AJU6PEYDLRD5O@sandbox.waku.nodes.status.im \
|
|
--discv5-discovery \
|
|
--nat:extip:[yourpublicip] # or, if you are behind a nat: --nat=any
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This runs nwaku in a new container from the `wakuorg/nwaku:v0.20.0` image,
|
|
connects to `wakuv.sandbox` as bootstrap fleet and
|
|
enables [Waku Discovery v5](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/33/) for ambient peer discovery,
|
|
while mapping the default libp2p listening port (`60000`)
|
|
and default discv5 UDP port (`9000`) to the host.
|
|
|
|
> **Tip:** The `docker run` command will pull the specified image from Docker Hub if it's not yet available locally,
|
|
so it's possible to skip Step 1 and pull the image from your configured registry automatically when running.
|
|
|
|
If you've used the `-i` and `-t` Docker options when running the new container,
|
|
the `run` command would have allocated an interactive terminal
|
|
where you'll see the `stdout` logs from the running nwaku process.
|
|
To detach gracefully from the running container,
|
|
use `Ctrl-P` followed by `Ctrl-Q`.
