Geth and Prysm in Docker Compose
I'm getting back into hacking on Ethereum nodes. Some of my tests are RPC-heavy, so a local setup is required. This will also speed up development since requests remain in my local network. However, I haven't found an easy Docker Compose setup for running Geth and Prysm together.
version: "3.8"
services:
geth:
image: ethereum/client-go:stable
container_name: geth
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 30303:30303
- 30303:30303/udp
- 8545:8545
- 8546:8546
- 8551:8551
volumes:
- /ethereum/execution:/root
command:
- --http
- --http.api=eth,net,web3
- --http.addr=0.0.0.0
- --authrpc.addr=0.0.0.0
- --authrpc.vhosts=*
- --authrpc.jwtsecret=/root/jwt.hex
- --authrpc.port=8551
prysm:
image: gcr.io/prysmaticlabs/prysm/beacon-chain
container_name: prysm
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /ethereum/consensus:/data
depends_on:
- geth
ports:
- 4000:4000
- 3500:3500
command:
- --accept-terms-of-use
- --datadir=/data
- --disable-monitoring
- --rpc-host=0.0.0.0
- --execution-endpoint=http://99.97.0.1:8551
- --jwt-secret=/data/jwt.hex
- --rpc-host=0.0.0.0
- --rpc-port=4000
- --grpc-gateway-corsdomain=*
- --grpc-gateway-host=0.0.0.0
- --grpc-gateway-port=3500
- --min-sync-peers=7
- --checkpoint-sync-url=https://mainnet.checkpoint.sigp.io
- --genesis-beacon-api-url=https://mainnet.checkpoint.sigp.io
networks:
default:
ipam:
driver: default
config:
- subnet: 99.97.0.0/16
The network configuration is required to set Prysm's execution endpoint to the Geth instance. The setup assumes two root paths are set on the server with approprivate permissions: /ethereum/consensus and /ethereum/execution. The JWT has been generated with openssl in the execution directory:
openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > /ethereum/execution/jwt.hex
Once set up, the Compose file can be pasted into Portainer for easy deployment. Have fun!
