Shoggoth Docker Project

This project sets up a Shoggoth Node using Docker and Docker Compose. It is designed to be simple to set up and run, encapsulating all necessary configurations and dependencies.

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   • Ensure you have the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files in your project directory.
   • Run git clone https://github.com/name/shoggoth-docker.git to clone the repository.

2. Build the Docker Image:

   • Run docker-compose build to build the Shoggoth Docker image.

3. Start the Container:

   • Run docker-compose up -d to start the Shoggoth container in detached mode.

4. Accessing the Shoggoth Node:

   • The Shoggoth Node will be running inside the container named shoggoth-node.

Configuration

To modify the Shoggoth Node configuration:

1. Enter the Container:

   • Run docker exec -it shoggoth-node bash to access the bash shell inside the container.

2. Install a Text Editor (if not present):

   • Run apt-get install vim to install Vim. You can use any other text editor of your choice.

3. Edit the Configuration File:

   • Run vi /root/shoggoth/node/config.toml to edit the configuration file.
   • Make necessary changes as per the Shoggoth documentation.

4. Restart the Shoggoth Node:

   • Run shog node stop and then shog node start to restart the node with the new configuration.

5. Exit the Container:

   • Type exit to leave the container's shell.

Ports and Networking

• By default, the Shoggoth Node's port 6969 is not exposed.
• If you need to access the web interface directly, uncomment the ports section in the docker-compose.yml file.

Data Persistence

• Data for the Shoggoth Node is persisted in a Docker volume named shoggoth_data.
• This ensures that your data remains intact across container restarts and removals.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are properly installed and up to date.
• Check the container logs using docker logs shoggoth-node for any errors or issues.
