Running Mina Mainnet with Docker
Docker installation
1. Delete old version (optionnal/recommanded)
apt-cache policy docker-ce
sudo apt remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
2. Install dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
3. Add Official Docker repository key
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(. /etc/os-release; echo "$ID")/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
5. Add official Docker package repository
echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] \
https://download.docker.com/linux/$(. /etc/os-release; echo "$ID") \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
6. Update package list and install docker
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
✅ Check Docker version
docker --version
docker compose version # (avec un espace, pour la version V2)
Prepare Mina Docker environment
$ mkdir docker
$ cd docker
$ mkdir mina
$ cd mina
$ mkdir .mina-config
$ cp ~/.mina-env ./
$ cp -r ~/keys/ ./
$ ll
keys
.mina-env
cat .mina-env

Run Mina docker container
docker run --name mina -d -p 4085:3085 -p 4095:3095 -p 7060:6060 -p 9302:8302 --restart=always --mount "type=bind,source=$(pwd)/.mina-env,dst=/entrypoint.d/mina-env,readonly" --mount "type=bind,source=$(pwd)/keys,dst=/keys,readonly" --mount "type=bind,source=$(pwd)/.mina-config,dst=/root/.mina-config" gcr.io/o1labs-192920/mina-daemon:3.2.0-beta2-939b08d-noble-mainnet daemon
Important
Don't forget to open the port that is mapped to your port 8302 (here 9302) on your firewall otherwise you may have troubles syncing with peers.
Check everything is ok
