##Instructions for Docker
NOTE: The docker images need to be updated to reflect the change from Namecoin to bitcoin blockchain
Basic:
The easiest way to run the resolver is by running a full-node docker (a full- node has a local namecoin daemon running inside the docker). On debian/ubuntu you can use:
sudo docker run -d -p 80:80/tcp blockstack/resolver
With SSL
We highly recommend using the resolver with SSL. Here are steps to generate a self-signed certificate
sudo apt-get install openssl
mkdir localcerts
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out localcerts/apache.pem -keyout localcerts/apache.key chmod 600 localcerts/apache*
After generating the self-signed certificate (on the host), you can mount the localhosts directory in the docker and run the resolver docker as:
sudo docker run -d -p 80:80/tcp -p 443:443/tcp -v /path/to/localcerts:/etc/ssl/localcerts blockstack/resolver-ssl
This will enable the resolver to listen for both http and https traffic. Make sure to edit the /path/to/localcerts for your directory accordingly before running the above line.
Installing Docker on Debian:
If you don't have docker already installed, you can install it by:
docker run -d -p 80:80/tcp blockstack/resolver ```
## Installing Docker on OS X:
If you want to run this on OS X, you can install docker by:
``` brew install docker brew install boot2docker boot2docker init boot2docker
up docker run -d -p 80:80/tcp blockstack/resolver ```
Docker on OS X has a time sync issue that affects namecoind. Run:
> /usr/local/bin/boot2docker ssh sudo ntpclient -s -h pool.ntp.org
To manually sync the clock before running the resolver docker. Also, on OS X
the docker is running inside virtualbox which means you will not be able to
talk to the resolver on http://localhost. Instead:
> boot2docker ip
Will give you the IP address of the VM e.g., 192.168.59.103 and you can then
use http://192.168.59.103 to talk to the resolver.
