Dockerfile for running general TON node (works for many testnet). Read more on TCF Hackermd.

git clone https://github.com/TON-Community-Foundation/general-ton-node
cd general-ton-node
docker build -t username/general-ton-node:0.5.0 .

This will take some time to compile TON node. Alternatively, you may pull compilled container.

docker pull kaemel/general-ton-node:0.5.0

docker volume create ton-db

Note, you may need to change IP and used ports. If you don't need Liteserver, then remove -e "LITESERVER=true".

TCF testnet:

docker run -d --name tcfnet-node --mount source=ton-db,target=/var/ton-work/db --network host -e "PUBLIC_IP=0.0.0.0" -e "CONFIG=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TON-Community-Foundation/general-ton-node/master/tcf-testnet.config.json"" -e "CONSOLE_PORT=46731" -e "LITESERVER=true" -e "LITE_PORT=46732" -it kaemel/general-ton-node:0.5.0

Telegram testnet2:

docker run -d --name rubynet-node --mount source=ton-db,target=/var/ton-work/db --network host -e "PUBLIC_IP=0.0.0.0" -e "CONFIG=https://test.ton.org/ton-global.config.json" -e "CONSOLE_PORT=46731" -e "LITESERVER=true" -e "LITE_PORT=46732" -it kaemel/general-ton-node:0.5.0

Rubynet (by TonLabs):

docker run -d --name rubynet-node --mount source=ton-db,target=/var/ton-work/db --network host -e "PUBLIC_IP=0.0.0.0" -e "CONFIG=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tonlabs/net.ton.dev/master/configs/ton-global.config.json" -e "CONSOLE_PORT=46731" -e "LITESERVER=true" -e "LITE_PORT=46732" -it kaemel/general-ton-node:0.5.0

Because TCF Testnet is working on the same code base as TON Testnet, to become validator you can use Validator HOWTO.

Also, this image provides ready autovalidation scripts. To use them you need to do the following steps:

1. Enter docker container (docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash)
2. Create Validator wallet: (cd /var/ton-work/contracts && fift -s new-wallet.fif -1 validator)
3. Get grams for validation stake onto validator wallet
4. Deploy validator wallet (cd /var/ton-work/contracts && lite-client -C ../db/my-ton-global.config.json -c "sendfile validator-query.boc")
5. Adjust parameters of autovalidation scripts, in particular you need to update WALLET_ADDR, MAX_FACTOR and STAKE_AMOUNT in /var/ton-work/contracts/validator_scripts/participate.sh and /var/ton-work/contracts/validator_scripts/reap.sh
6. Run participate.sh and reap.sh manually or using cron.

docker exec -ti <container-id> /bin/bash```

validator-engine-console -k client -p server.pub -a <IP>:<CONSOLE_PORT>

You may use validator-engine-console from other hosts if you copy client privkey and server.pub pubkey.

docker exec -ti <container-id> /bin/bash
lite-client -C my-ton-global.config.json

You may use lite-client from other hosts if you copy my-ton-global.config.json. Alternatively, if you want to use your own liteserver, copy liteserver.pub and run lite-client as follows:

lite-client -a <IP>:LITE_PORT -p liteserver.pub
