List of Dockerfiles

Dockerfiles in git clone https://github.com/metacurrency/holochain.git

• #####./Dockerfile

  Its useful to have this here in this list for completeness, and for people who want to guarantee they have the lastest master of holochain in their image, rather than relying on dockerhub having the latest version

  • creates an image from the latest master of github.com/metacurrency/holochain
• #####./Dockerfile.coreDevelopment

  This is used for people who are developing the core code. Containers built on this image will allow the developer to manually interact with their new hc / bs servers from the command line

  • uses as a base image the result of ./Dockerfile
  • splices the current ./ -r over the top of the base image, and runs make, make bs and make test
  • will fail on build if make test fails

Dockerfiles in git clone https://github.com/<MY_PROJECT>/<MY_HOLOCHAIN_DNA>.git

built from a skeleton which includes Dockerfiles

• #####./Dockerfile.seedService && ./Scripts/service.chain.seed

  This is used by the docker-compose.yml file to create an a seeded holochain from the DNA in the local filesystem

  • splices the current holochain DNA into the docker image
  • runs hc seed <MY_HOLOCHAIN_DNA>
  • makes the sedded holochain available on a docker volume to all the ./Dockerfile.serveInstances
• #####./Dockerfile.serveInstance && ./Scripts/chain.joinAndServe

  This is used by the docker-compose.yml file to create an instance(s) of hc server <MY_HOLOCHAIN>

  • does hc init <UNIQUE_CONTAINER_ID>
  • does `hc join <MY_SEEDED_HOLOCHAIN>
  • exposes the port 3141 for the hc web server
