node: Publish neo-cli to docker hub about neo HOT 11 OPEN

You are correct, SimplePolicy is mandatory. I've incorporated it on neo-local long ago.

from neo.

Sure, I can make this.
What you want is a relay node, not a consensus node, right?
I can make the Dockerfile that you can use to build it. Or we can manage to have a docker hub for NEO also, but for that i need official help.

from neo.

I think that if you can provide us with a working Dockerfile, one that copies that configuration from the current project and compiles it, it would be great.
Not sure how to handle the "--rpc" flag, but I'm sure this is easy for you :)
Do you think we need to use an intermediary image to build and another to host it? Maybe it makes more sense from a security perspective.

So basically, we need:

• Compile it from source
• Copy configuration files (config / protocol.json) - probably done when you copy the source files
• Start it with or without the RPC flag

from neo.

Yes, I can provide a dockerfile that does that. Including getting the newest code from github, compile it and produce a docker image that we can use to start the node.
That image, because it's not consensus, can be then put inside a swarm or kubernetes cluster to be an highly available service.

Like you mentioned in slack, there is already a Dockerfile:
https://github.com/neo-project/neo-cli/tree/master/ci

It does 50% of the work, however:

• it always starts with RPC
• it compiles and runs in the same image

from neo.

I think we can start with the Dockerfile we have in the repo and correct/extend it.
Let me work on it...

@nunojusto if possible, please check if it is importing plugins, this is quite important too.

No plugins are used in the actual Dockerfile

from neo.

I'm not sure (I'll leave that to the specialists), but I think that "SimplePolicy" is a mandatory plugin, "RpcSecurity" and "ApplicationLogs" are highly recommended.

@neo-project/ngd any chances you guys can help move this forward? I think this will help a lot of people, just look how many "ubuntu" or other "compilation issues" we have in our closed issues. This would "solve" them all.
Thanks.

I think this is a great idea. We definitely can help to provide it.
