docker-based denarius wallet

This image provides denariusd via docker while mounting a local folder for the denarius data-dir to keep blockchain and wallet info on your host machine.

usage

build the image

make

run it

make run

or if you want to use docker manually:

docker run -v `pwd`/denarius-data:/root/.denarius -w /denarius/src -i -t pyramation/denarius bash

start denariusd

cd /denarius/src
./denariusd

It will give you a prompt to edit the denarius.conf in the data dir. Copy and paste the credentials it gives you. Edit denarius-data/denarius.conf, or if you're inside the docker container, you can edit /root/.denarius/denarius.conf using vim:

rpcuser=denariusrpc
rpcpassword=<somelongpassword>

now you'll need to restart denariusd

./denarius

now, open another shell

Leaving that other shell running, ssh into the existing container. You can get the container id like so

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                 COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
d173377e3757        pyramation/denarius   "bash"              5 minutes ago       Up 5 minutes                            dazzling_booth

Now jump inside with the exec command:

docker exec -ti d173377e3757 /bin/bash

now, run denariusd commands

./denariusd help

managing your wallet

The data directory will end up on your host machine in a folder called denarius-data

helpful tips

encrypt your wallet

$ ./denariusd encryptwallet <superstrongpassword>

get your address

$ ./denariusd getaccountaddress 0
DKhWkqMvpWBEL4D9RNtLxMvKDgCh8d32uN

(carefully) get your private key

./denariusd dumpprivkey DKhWkqMvpWBEL4D9RNtLxMvKDgCh8d32uN

importing your paper wallet (or from private key)

./denariusd importprivkey <yourSuperPrivateKey> <label>

Trouble Shooting

If you are not sure if something is working, maybe you haven't fully sync'd with the network. A tip is to look at your data dir and also you can tail the log to see if it's pulling down the blockchain:

You can check the size of the blk0001.dat and the txleveldb as they grow:

root at 955f6129828c in /denarius/src on master*
$ du -sh ~/.denarius/*
6.7M	/root/.denarius/blk0001.dat
10M	/root/.denarius/database
0	/root/.denarius/db.log
3.9M	/root/.denarius/debug.log
4.0K	/root/.denarius/denarius.conf
60K	/root/.denarius/peers.dat
4.0K	/root/.denarius/smsg.ini
400K	/root/.denarius/smsgDB
8.3M	/root/.denarius/txleveldb
68K	/root/.denarius/wallet.dat

Also tail -f debug.log will show you that it's downloading the blockchain:
