IOTA IRI node

This is IRI (IOTA reference implementation) packed as small docker image.

It's used by my IOTA node pool on iota.rootlogin.ch.

Features

• Java 8
• IOTA IRI node
• Configurable via environment variable

Usage

First you need to find some neighbors for your node. You can do this by joining the #nodesharing-Slack channel. You can join slack on slack.iota.org.

Afterwards you can start the node with:

$ docker run --net=host -d --name iota-node -v iota_data:/opt/iri/data -e "NEIGHBORS=udp://neighbor1:14600 tcp://neighbor1:15600 udp://neighbor3:14600" rootlogin/iota-iri

To rescan the database or revalidate, you can do this:

$ docker run --net=host --rm --name iota-node -v iota_data:/opt/iri/data -e "NEIGHBORS=udp://neighbor1:14600 tcp://neighbor1:15600 udp://neighbor3:14600" rootlogin/iota-iri --rescan
$ docker run --net=host --rm --name iota-node -v iota_data:/opt/iri/data -e "NEIGHBORS=udp://neighbor1:14600 tcp://neighbor1:15600 udp://neighbor3:14600" rootlogin/iota-iri --revalidate

Pre-sync database

If you want to sync your node with the latest tangle database from iota.partners, set the environment variable PRESYNC to 1. This helps to get your node faster fully synced.

Environment variables

You can configure different things with environment variables:

Name	Description
NEIGHBORS	List of your neighbors (space delimited).
REMOTE_API_LIMIT	List of things that are forbidden via api (Default: attachToTangle, addNeighbors, removeNeighbors).
API_PORT	Port for API listener (Default: 14265).
UDP_PORT	Port for UDP listener (Default: 14600).
TCP_PORT	Port for TCP listener (Default: 15600).
PRESYNC	If you want presync your database with iota.partners set 1 (Default: 0).
JAVA_OPTIONS	Default: "-XX:+DisableAttachMechanism -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap"

Run with docker-compose

You can also run IRI with docker-compose. See this example:

version: '2'

services:
  iota-node:
    container_name: iota-node
    restart: always
    image: rootlogin/iota-iri:latest
    mem_limit: 8G
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Zurich
      - NEIGHBORS=udp://neighbor1:14600 tcp://neighbor1:15600 udp://neighbor3:14600
    volumes:
      - /opt/iri-data:/opt/iri/data
