Step 2: Run the Docker Container

Run the following command to start the Elixir node:

docker pull elixirprotocol/validator

Start the Elixir node:

Replace /path/to/validator.env with the full path to the file you have in system.

docker run -it \
  --env-file /path/to/validator.env \
  --name elixir \
  elixirprotocol/validator

Optional ( Exposing Health Check )

You must open port 17690 on the Docker so you can view /health and /metrics endpoints.

docker run -d \
  --env-file /path/to/validator.env \
  --name elixir \
  -p 17690:17690 \
  elixirprotocol/validator

Optional ( ARM Platform )

use --platform if you running on ARM platform.

docker run -d \
  --env-file /path/to/validator.env \
  --name elixir \
  --platform linux/amd64 \

Upgrading

docker kill elixir
docker rm elixir
docker pull elixirprotocol/validator
