docker image to run a monero full network node

October 2018: Breaking Change

warning
for improved security the new images will run the monero daemon under it's own user and not as root anymore! If you simply upgrade without following the next steps you will run into this error:
WARN blockchain.db.lmdb src/blockchain_db/lmdb/db_lmdb.cpp:75 Failed to open lmdb environment: Permission denied

this can be fixed with the following steps

• stop and remove the current container: docker stop monerod && docker rm monerod
• change the owner of the volume to monero user docker run -v xmrchain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -t --rm --name=monerod -u root --entrypoint=/bin/chown kannix/monero-full-node -R monero:monero .bitmonero
• start the container docker run -tid --restart=always -v xmrchain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -p 18080:18080 -p 18081:18081 --name=monerod kannix/monero-full-node

Hint: keep in mind that you have to adapt your volume bindings to your own configuration e.g. if you followed the older version of this readme you have to use: -v /var/data/blockchain-xmr:/home/monero/.bitmonero instead of -v xmrchain:/home/monero/.bitmonero

Usage

docker run -tid --restart=always -v xmrchain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -p 18080:18080 -p 18081:18081 --name=monerod kannix/monero-full-node

Updates

Manual Way

docker stop monerod
docker rm monerod
docker pull kannix/monero-full-node

Then launch using the "how to use" command above
