Truffle Ganache docker-compose

This docker-compose enables you to use ganache-cli with a persistent data.

git clone https://github.com/digitaldonkey/ganache-cli-docker-compose.git
docker-compose up

Truffle Ganache client uses the direcrtory ganache_data to save its chain data. So any transactions made should be still available after restart.

Your truffle.js config might look like

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: '192.168.99.100',
      port: 8545,
      network_id: '5777'
    }
  }
}

Is it running?

docker-compose ps
