Docker

Initialization

In an empty dir create 2 sub-dirs

mkdir -p data mysql/data mysql/db-scripts

In the mysql/db-scripts sub-dir add the mariadb-structure.sql file from the mempool repo

Your dir should now look like that:

$ls -R
.:
data mysql

./data:

./mysql:
data  db-scripts

./mysql/data:

./mysql/db-scripts:
mariadb-structure.sql

In the main dir add the following docker-compose.yml

version: "3.7"

services:
  web:
    image: mempool/frontend:latest
    user: "1000:1000"
    restart: on-failure

You can update all the environment variables inside the API container, especially the RPC and ELECTRUM ones

Run it

To run our docker-compose use the following cmd:

docker-compose up

If everything went okay you should see the beautiful mempool 😁

If you get stuck on "loading blocks", this means the websocket can't connect. Check your nginx proxy setup, firewalls, etc. and open an issue if you need help.
