Official Chia Docker Container

Currently latest = head of dev branch

tagged releases to match rc and more to come shortly

Initialize

docker run (optional --expose=58444 to run a testnet node)--name chia (chia-farmer, chia-harvester1 etc.) -d ghcr.io/chia-network/chia:latest (optional -v /path/to/plots:plots)

Config management

docker exec -it chia /bin/bash
vim (or nano if you prefer) ~/.chia/testnet/config/config.yaml

modify the line

self_hostname: &self_hostname "localhost"

to match

self_hostname: &self_hostname "127.0.0.1"

optional: remote harvester

 harvester:
  # The harvester server (if run) will run on this port
  port: 8448
  farmer_peer:
    host: *self_hostname
    port: 8447

include the proper host and port for your remote farmer node or container.

docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia start farmer
