Using Docker

The easiest way
The easiest/faster option to run Phuquocdog in Docker is to use the latest release images. These are small images that use the latest official release of the Phuquocdog binary, pulled from our package repository.
Following examples are running on westend chain and without SSL. They can be used to quick start and learn how Polkadot needs to be configured. Please find out how to secure your node, if you want to operate it on the internet. Do not expose RPC and WS ports, if they are not correctly configured.
Let's first check the version we have. The first time you run this command, the Phuquocdog docker image will be downloaded. This takes a bit of time and bandwidth, be patient:
// Some code
$ docker run --rm -it phuquocdog/node:latest --version
phuquocdog-node 3.0.0-eba31c8-x86_64-linux-gnu
​
You can also pass any argument/flag that Phuquocdog supports:
// Some code
$ docker run --rm -it phuquocdog/node:latest --chain dev --name "PqdDocker"

Once you are done experimenting and picking the best node name :) you can start Phuquocdog  as daemon, exposes the Phuquocdog ports and mount a volume that will keep your blockchain data locally.
To start a Phuquocdog node on default rpc port 9933 and default p2p port 30333 use the following command. If you want to connect to rpc port 9933, then must add Phuquocdog startup parameter: --rpc-external.
// Some code
docker run --name pqddev -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v ~/pqddata:/data phuquocdog/node:latest --chain dev --rpc-external --rpc-cors all
// see log
docker logs -f pqddev

Running to mainnet Phu Quoc Dog
Above we just running for enviroment develop, to running a validator on mainnet you just rechange the command above like this:
// Some code
mkdir ~/pqddata
chmod 777 -R ~/pqddata
docker run --name pqd-mainnet -d -p 9944:9944  -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v ~/pqddata:/data phuquocdog/node:latest --chain mainnet --rpc-external --ws-external  --rpc-cors all
Then check log and data you should see something like this
// See data
ls ~/pqddata/chains/
phuquocdog_main_network
​
// See log
​
docker logs -f pqd-mainnet
