Running Mina Berkeley (the easiest way .. I found)

STEP 1 - Pull latest docker image​

$ docker pull gcr.io/o1labs-192920/mina-daemon:2.0.0berkeley-rc1-1551e2f-focal-berkeley
$ docker images
REPOSITORY                  TAG                                        IMAGE ID       CREATED       SIZE
minaprotocol/mina-daemon    2.0.0berkeley-rc1-1551e2f-focal-berkeley   353043fd4878   2 weeks ago   2.41GB

STEP 2 - Create your keys and config directories on the host​

$ mkdir keys
$ mkdir config

STEP 3 - Getting an interactive bash session to the container​

$ docker run --name mina -p 9302:8302 -p 127.0.0.1:3085:3085 --mount "type=bind,source=$(pwd)/keys,dst=/root/keys" --mount "type=bind,source=$(pwd)/config,dst=/root/.mina-config" --env MINA_LIBP2P_PASS='pass' --env MINA_PRIVKEY_PASS='pass' --env UPTIME_PRIVKEY_PASS='pass' --entrypoint /bin/bash -it 353043fd4878
  • Map keys and config directory from the host to the target container.
  • Set your env variables MINA_LIBP2P_PASS, MINA_PRIVKEY_PASS (optionnal if you want to run a bloc producer) and UPTIME_PRIVKEY_PASS (not required/useless on berkeley)

353043fd4878 is your image id.

STEP 4 - Generating libp2p keypair​

Once inside your container, you now have access to the shell. We'll use this to generate the libp2p key pair inside the /root/keys directory :

root@09437a971acb:~# mina libp2p generate-keypair -privkey-path /root/keys/libp2p
Password for new private key file:
Again to confirm:
libp2p keypair:
CAESQFGW4XhXBHPsGf...

Put the same password as the one you specify above for MINA_LIBP2P_PASS environment variable

STEP 5 - Generating BP keys​

Then we'll generate the BP key (if needed) :

root@b8244db5dff8:~# mina-generate-keypair --privkey-path /root/keys/my-wallet
Password for new private key file:
Again to confirm:
Keypair generated
Public key: B62...
Raw public key: 63B...

Put the same password as the one you specify above for MINA_PRIVKEY_PASS environment variable

STEP 6 - Launch Mina Daemon​

root@b8244db5dff8:~# mina daemon --peer-list-url https://storage.googleapis.com/seed-lists/berkeley_seeds.txt --libp2p-keypair ~/keys/libp2p --block-producer-key /root/keys/my-wallet --insecure-rest-server --open-limited-graphql-port --limited-graphql-port 3095 --file-log-level Debug -log-level Info

Once inside the container, pressing Ctrl + p, Ctrl + q will detach you from the container's console and leave the container running in the background.

You'll be able to reattach to you running mina container using :

$ docker attach mina

Launch intercative shell session again and check mina daemon status

You can launch an additionnal interactive session again to interact with mina daemon if needed :

$ docker exec -it mina /bin/bash

Then you can get the status of you mina daemon and guess what ? It is synced !!

root@156a3593fdf3:~# mina client status
Mina daemon status
