Dockerized p2p Node
To run a p2p node (ca. 2GB of memory is required at the moment):
docker run \
-d -p 2001:2001 -p 8090:8090 --name steemd-default \
steemit/steem
docker logs -f steemd-default # follow along
Dockerized Full Node
To run a node with all the data (e.g. for supporting a content website) that uses ca. 14GB of memory and growing:
docker run \
--env USE_WAY_TOO_MUCH_RAM=1 \
-d -p 2001:2001 -p 8090:8090 --name steemd-full \
steemit/steem
docker logs -f steemd-full
Seed Nodes
A list of some seed nodes to get you started can be found in doc/seednodes.txt.
This same file is baked into the docker images and can be overridden by
setting STEEMD_SEED_NODES
in the container environment at docker run
time to a whitespace delimited list of seed nodes (with port).
