This thing allows you to start Binance full node in just a single command, this one:
docker run --rm -it varnav/binance-node
This means you don't need to read, understand and follow all this pages long manual.
A machine that processes Binance blockchain.
A full node of Binance Chain is a witness, which observes the consensus messaging, downloads blocks from data seed nodes and executes business logic to achieve the consistent state as validator node (and other full node). Full nodes also help the network by accepting transactions from other nodes and then relaying them to the core Binance network.
You will need Docker. Don't have it? No worries, it's very simple to get it. First, install, or even run Ubuntu from live CD/USB. Open terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T, then become root with sudo -i and run this:
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | /bin/sh
And that's it. You now have Docker installed!
Ok, and if you want to run node in background with production network, use this command:
docker run -d --rm --name binance -v /opt/binance-data:/opt/bnbchaind -e "BNET=prod" -p 27146:27146 -p 127.0.0.1:27147:27147 --security-opt no-new-privileges --ulimit nofile=16000:16000 varnav/binance-node
All data and config files will be stored in /opt/binance-data/, while everything else will be running inside container and will be automatically deleted if you stop the container with docker stop binance. Data and configs will be, of course, preserved - and you will be easily able to run container again using command above.
To get into console and use bnbcli run this:
docker exec -it binance-devel /bin/bash
And to see logs run this:
docker logs -f binance-testnet
Yes, all this is free software.
