Running Ant Farm in Docker container

Basic Usage

To start Ant Farm with default configuration (config/basic-renter-5-hosts-docker.json) execute:

docker run \
    --publish 127.0.0.1:9980:9980 \
    nebulouslabs/siaantfarm

Port 127.0.0.1:9980 above is the renter API address which you can use to issue commands to the renter. For security reasons you should bind the port to localhost (see 127.0.0.1:9980 above).

Custom Configuration

By default the Sia Ant Farm docker image has a copy of config/basic-renter-5-hosts-docker.json configuration file.

If you want to execute Ant Farm with a custom configuration, create your custom configuration e.g. config/custom-config.json, mount your config directory and set CONFIG environment variable to your custom configuration by executing:

docker run \
    --publish 127.0.0.1:9980:9980 \
    --volume $(pwd)/config:/sia-antfarm/config \
    --env CONFIG=config/custom-config.json \
    nebulouslabs/siaantfarm

Change Port

To change port on which you can access the renter (e.g. to 39980) execute:

docker run \
    --publish 127.0.0.1:39980:9980 \
    nebulouslabs/siaantfarm

Open multiple ports

In default configuration only renter's HTTP API port is accessible from outside of the docker container. If you want to configure access to more or all the ants, you need to use custom configuration file (described above) and each ant's HTTP API port needs to be set in 2 places:

• In the configuration file
• Pubished when starting docker container

Specify port in configuration file

APIAddr setting needs to be set in the configuration file same way as it is set for renter ant in default configuration file config/basic-renter-5-hosts-docker.json. Hostname part can only have one of two values: 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

Example snippet:

        ...
		{
			"AllowHostLocalNetAddress": true,
            "APIAddr": "127.0.0.1:10980",
			"Name": "host1",
			"Jobs": [
				"host"
			],
			"DesiredCurrency": 100000
		},
        ...

Publish port when starting docker

Once you have prepared configuration file, you can start the container. You need to set the path to custom configuration via CONFIG environment variable and publish each port via --publish flag.

Example docker run command:

docker run \
    --publish 127.0.0.1:9980:9980 \
    --publish 127.0.0.1:10980:10980 \
    --volume $(pwd)/config:/sia-antfarm/config \
    --env CONFIG=config/custom-config.json \
    nebulouslabs/siaantfarm

Persistent Ant Farm Data

There are several ways how to persist Ant Farm data. To store antfarm-data in the current directory can be done the following way:

docker run \
    --publish 127.0.0.1:9980:9980 \
    --volume $(pwd):/sia-antfarm/data \
    nebulouslabs/siaantfarm
