Using this repo you can start Corda locally on your machine using Docker

You need to have the following tools:

• Docker (atleast version 17.09.0 and up) - you can find instructions here on how to install it on your machine.
• docker-compose

Please note that all mentioned commands should be run in the root of this repository.

First run the following commands to initialize node configuration:

docker build --rm -t corda-tools-boostrapper ./docker/bootstrapper/
docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD/config":/source -w /source corda-tools-boostrapper

When the configuration is prepared, you can run the following command to start the Corda network:

docker-compose up -d

To check the port mappings of the nodes, you can use the following command:

docker-compose ps

To remove the network, run the following command:

docker-compose down

If you need to change the node configuration, you can do that by editing *_node.conf files in config directory. Before doing any changes, run the following command to stop the nodes:

docker-compose stop

After you update the configuration, you should run the docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD/config":/source -w /source corda-tools-boostrapper command to modify the node configuration directories. When the tool is done its work, run the following command to bring the nodes back up:

docker-compose start

In order to verify that the network is up and running, you can connect to Corda SSH service.

First of all, run docker-compose ps and get the host mapping of PartyA containers port 12222. When you have that value, you can connect to it using a SSH client:

ssh user1@localhost -p <PartyA SSH port>

Welcome to the Corda interactive shell.
Useful commands include 'help' to see what is available, and 'bye' to shut down the node.

Please note you can lookup/change the password in the Party*_node.conf file.
