This repository contains docker-compose scripts to facilitate the creation of a Chainlink node. Further details on the installation procedure are covered by the chainlink documentation.

Chainlink requires access to the websocket API of an Ethereum node. It is possible to operate such a node locally or to use 3rd party services like alchemy or infura for this purpose.

Create the .env based on the template and adjust it to your needs. Most specifically the ETH_URL needs to be set to the websocket URL.

cp env.template chainlink-volume/.env
cd chainlink-volume
nano .env

echo "[email protected]" > .api
echo "password" >> .api

echo "my_wallet_password" > .password

docker-compose -f db-compose.yml up

Note that this command also creates a docker network called chainlink and a DB administration UI reachable under the URL http://localhost:8090

docker-compose -f chainlink-compose.yml up

Afterwards, the Chainlink web UI will be reachable under the URL http://localhost:6688

Shutting down the containers should happen in reverse order of startup:

docker-compose -f chainlink-compose.yml down
docker-compose -f db-compose.yml down
