Quick Node Deployment

The docker-compose file on docker folder of dtcnode project is useful to test the DTC library with nodes deployed on the same machine.

Assuming that docker and docker-compose are already installed (as following the Library Testing instructions), you need to start the containers with:

./docker/test.sh

This deploys five nodes and creates configuration files using a threshold value of 3.

The deployed nodes are listening on the following local ports:

• 9871
• 9872
• 9873
• 9874
• 9875

Then, you should copy the generated config.yaml file in /etc/dtc/config.yaml. on your testing machine. The database file is going to be by default in /tmp/dtc.sqlite3, so it is not recommended for persistent testing.

When you want to stop the nodes, you can simply stop the ./docker/test.sh script.
