Usage

Clone the repo, navigate to the cloned directory and run the instance with:

cd docker-compose
docker-compose pull
NODE_ENDPOINT=http://<node_endpoint> docker-compose up

The explorer runs on port 80 by default, if you want to use a custom port e.g 26000, set the PORT environment variable and the explorer will be accessible via http://localhost:26000.

NODE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8585 PORT=26000 docker-compose up -d

Note that if setting NODE_ENDPOINT to a local Ethereum instance, you may need to use the IP address associated with the Docker bridged interface.

On Linux, the bridged adapter should be 172.16.239.1, as denoted in docker-compose.yml. To connect to a local node, start with the command:

NODE_ENDPOINT=http://172.16.239.1:8545 docker-compose up

On MacOS and Windows, a platform sepcific command is required due to limitations around the Docker network stack on MacOS. This is as follows:

NODE_ENDPOINT=http://host.docker.internal:8545 docker-compose up

Note that in both cases, your local instance of geth must be started with --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 and --rpcvhosts="*", or Sirato will be unable to access it.

Also note that on Windows Chainlens may take a long time to come up (sometimes up to 20 minutes) due to Windows filesystem performance issues with Linux VMs.

Append the -d argument to run the containers in the backgroud

You will be able to access the Explorer UI via:

To stop the containers use:

docker-compose down

To connect to new network you should remove the volumes associated with the old network

docker-compose down -v

Quorum & Hyperledger Besu

To run the Quroum 7 node example with Chainlens free follow these instructions.

To run the Pantheon-quickstart privacy network example follow these instructions.

Limitations

  • Due to a limitation with Docker, you may only have one instance of the Explorer running at a time.
