tklx/blockstack - A New Internet for Decentralized Apps

Blockstack is a new decentralized internet where users own their data and apps run locally.

This is a developer preview.

Features

• Based on the super slim tklx/base (Debian GNU/Linux).
• Uses tini for zombie reaping and signal forwarding.
• Includes blockstack core, virtualchain and the browser portal. We will most likely split the different components into different containers in the future, and provide documentation/wrapper scripts for container linking.

Usage

Pull the blockstack container and run it, dropping to a shell

docker pull tklx/blockstack
docker run --rm -it \
    -p 127.0.0.1:1337:1337 \
    -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 \
    -p 127.0.0.1:6270:6270 \
    tklx/blockstack /bin/bash

In the shell, setup blockstack core and start the api

source /blockstack/core/bin/activate
BITCOIN_WALLET_PASSWORD=$(mcookie)
blockstack setup -y --password "$BITCOIN_WALLET_PASSWORD"
sed -i "s/localhost/0.0.0.0/" ~/.blockstack/client.ini
blockstack api start -y --password "$BITCOIN_WALLET_PASSWORD" --debug

Take note of your wallet and api passwords

echo $BITCOIN_WALLET_PASSWORD
grep api_password ~/.blockstack/client.ini | sed 's/api_password = //g'

Start the cors proxy and browser portal

cd /blockstack/portal
CORSPROXY_HOST=0.0.0.0 npm run dev-proxy &
npm run dev

Browse to http://localhost:3000 (the portal). You'll need to enter the api password you took note of above.

Tip: setup a protocol-handler

Automated builds

The Docker image is built, and pushed by CircleCI from source hosted on GitHub.
