The OpenEthereum client can be used for the Kovan test network, as well as the Ethereum main network.ĭownload the latest version: openethereum/openethereum:stableĬreate a local directory to persist the data: mkdir ~/.openethereum-kovan If the container was stopped and you need to run it again, you can simply use the following command: docker start -i eth You will need to leave the container running for the Chainlink node to connect to it. Once the Ethereum client is running, you can use Ctrl + P, Ctrl + Q to detach from the container without stopping it. ws.addr 0.0.0.0 -ws.origins="*" -datadir /gethĭocker run -name eth -p 8546:8546 -v ~/.geth:/geth -it \Įthereum/client-go -syncmode fast -ws -ipcdisable \ Run the container: docker run -name eth -p 8546:8546 -v ~/.geth-rinkeby:/geth -it \Įthereum/client-go -rinkeby -ws -ipcdisable \ The Geth client can be used for the Rinkeby test network, as well as the Ethereum main network.ĭownload the latest version: docker pull ethereum/client-go:latestĬreate a local directory to persist the data: mkdir ~/.geth-rinkeby If you do choose to run either Geth or Parity with their native clients, please be sure to enable the websockets API, since it is required for the Chainlink node to communicate with the Ethereum blockchain. We would recommend to use one of the external services for your Ethereum client, since running one on your own managed machine will consume a lot of resources.
#Geth download how to#
The examples below show how to run Geth and Parity in their official Docker containers for each network that they support. This is accomplished by running either Geth, Parity, or using a 3rd party connection. In order to run a Chainlink node, it must be able to connect to an Ethereum client with an active websocket connection.
