Docker-compose configuration

Prerequisites

• Docker v20.10+
• Docker-compose 2.x.x+
• Running Ethereum JSON RPC client, preferably archive node:

docker run -p 8547:8547 -p 8548:8548 -v ./run.sh:/home/user/run.sh ghcr.io/fhenixprotocol/localfhenix:v0.1.0-beta5
# make a transaction, empty blockchain may not work

Building Docker containers from source

docker-compose --profile blockscout up

Note: if you don't need to make backend customizations, you can run docker-compose up in order to launch from pre-build backend Docker image. This will be much faster.

This command uses docker-compose.yml by-default, which builds the backend of the explorer into the Docker image and runs 9 Docker containers:

• Postgres 15.x database, which will be available at port 7432 on the host machine.
• Redis database of the latest version.
• Blockscout backend with api at /api path.
• Nginx proxy to bind backend, frontend and microservices.
• Blockscout explorer at http://localhost.

and 4 containers for microservices (written in Rust):

• Stats service with a separate Postgres 14 DB.
• Sol2UML visualizer service.
• Sig-provider service.

Note for Linux users: Linux users need to run the local node on http://0.0.0.0/ rather than http://127.0.0.1/
