- Install Docker
- Install Terraform
cd terraform/personal- (Mac only) Change
volume_pathto your docker persistent folder terraform getterraform apply- Type a name for your node.
Setup will spin of next services:
- http://localhost:8080/ -- Wallet
- http://localhost:8000/ -- Ether Block Explorer
- http://localhost:3000/ -- Ethereum Network Status
- http://localhost:3100/ -- Data Owner
- http://localhost:3200/ -- Data Requester
Shorthand command: cd terraform/personal && terraform get && terraform apply && docker exec -it ethereum-node0 geth attach
Stop all containers: docker ps -aq | xargs docker stop
The default configuration will start two Docker container for the actual Ethereum nodes called ethereum-node0 and ethereum-node1, and two containers linked to Ethereum nodes called ethereum-netstats-api0 and ethereum-netstats-api1 that report statistics to the Ethereum Network Status dashboard. You can change the number of nodes by editing personal.tf.
The node name parameter is used to identify your node on. Participation in the dashboard is completely optional and does not actually influence the functionality of the blockchain itself in any way. It can take a few minutes for the nodes to discover each other.
Please note that the default configuration publishes all administrative functions through an unsecured RPC interface. It is not meant for a deployment on a server.
docker exec -it ethereum-node0 geth attachminer.setEtherbase('public key')set to where transfer currencyminer.start()to start mining
cd /Applications/Ethereum\ Wallet.app/Contents/MacOS/./Ethereum\ Wallet --rpc http://localhost:8545
"ethereum wallet.exe" --rpc http://localhost:8545
Default configuration assumes that you run it on Linux with Docker support built-in. On Windows and MacOS, Docker relies on a virtualization layer, and it may be necessary to communicate with the Docker engine via TCP. Edit personal.tf and change docker_host = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock" to docker_host = "tcp://localhost:2375" (or a proper IP address).

- Driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint
If you are experiencing error messages that look anything like the one above, try restarting your Docker service. Docker on Windows relies on a virtualization layer, and the virtual network can become misconfigured or the clock on the virtual machine can get out of sync. This is usually provoked by putting the machine through several suspend/resume cycles, like is often the case when running on a laptop.
Transactions will only function if there is an active miner in the blockchain. If there is no mining, the nodes may get out of sync, and will not communicate all that much with each other. You can see if there are any active miners on the Ethereum Network Status dashboard.
Even with an active miner, transactions may still time out, because it will not mine them. If the miner does not receive any blocks from other nodes, it will assume it is out of sync and will not attempt to mine the transactions. What you want then is to start mining on your own node:
docker exec -it ethereum-node0 geth attachminer.start()to start miningminer.stop()to stop mining
It is usually enough to run a miner for a few moments (assuming there are other active miners) just to let the other nodes know that your node is alive.
Please note that the initial startup time for a miner can be over 15 minutes during which an EtHash DAG is generated. After the initial generation is done, mining can be started and stopped at will.
