Docker

Docker builds of cardano-explorer-api and cardano-tx-submit are available on Docker Hub.

The docker-compose.yaml in this repo provides a working reference, and can be used as-is with the addition of database configuration files created, or used as a starting point to manage the stack of Cardano services.

Building the Docker image locally

Ensure that you have Nix installed and the IOHK binary cache enabled (instructions).

Then run these commands from the cardano-rest git repo:

docker load -i $(nix-build -A dockerImages.txSubmit --no-out-link)
docker load -i $(nix-build -A dockerImages.explorerApi --no-out-link)

If you have no local changes, the build should be downloaded from the IOHK binary cache then loaded into the local Docker registry.
