::: tip Information
The GNY docker image will be pulled from dockerhub repository gnyio/node

With Docker

To get up and running you will need to create a docker-compose.yml file.

Create a new file docker-compose.yml:

touch docker-compose.yml

Copy the following content into your docker-compose.yml file and change the environment variables:

:::: tabs

::: danger Edit docker-compose.yml file
In order to make the docker-compose.yml file work you need to edit the following properties:

See Configure for more details.
:::

Now start both services (db1, node1) with:

sudo docker-compose up --detach

Result

This will start a GNY Blockchain.

This node will later connect to other nodes on the network.
