Running the Docker Image

If using the local Devnet, follow these instructions to start that image.
If connecting to an Ethereum client, make sure that is running first with websocket enabled.

Download the latest version:

$ docker pull smartcontract/chainlink:latest

Create an environment file and populate with your variables, for example:

$ touch /home/$USER/.env

And populate it with values. You will need to change the ETH_CHAIN_ID to the network you're connecting to.

LOG_LEVEL=debug
PASSWORD=twochains
ETH_URL=ws://172.17.0.1:18546
ETH_CHAIN_ID=17
TX_MIN_CONFIRMATIONS=2
CLIENT_NODE_URL=http://172.17.0.3:6688

Now you can run the Docker image:

$ docker run -it --env-file=/home/$USER/.env smartcontract/chainlink n

In a new window, you can interact with the Docker instance by using the command-line API. For example:

$ docker run -it --env-file=/home/$USER/.env smartcontract/chainlink j
