ethereum-testrpc-docker

A dockerfile ready to use in Microsoft Windows with Testrpc for Ethereum. No pain no gain, I put it here after 2 hours (no, 4) of pain on Microsoft Windows to make it works.

Installation

• Get the Dockerfile and put it on a clean folder with all your other containers.
• Open Docker Quickstart Terminal
• build the Dockerfile docker build -t testrpc
• Normally, all must be okay. If not, docker is really verbose so it will pop you what was wrong.
• You can try to launch testrpc like this ``` docker run -t -i -p 8545:8545 testrpc ```` but you don't have the local ip of this newly created Provider.

So we'll get the IP.

In Windows Cmd, get the list of your docker containers

"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine" ls

You will have these lines, just note your container's name (YOUR_CONTAINER) and IP address.

NAME      ACTIVE   URL          STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER   ERRORS
YOUR_CONTAINER   -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v1.9.1

Back in Docker CMD, launch docker with

``` docker run -t -i -p 8545:8545 testrpc ````

You can use your containers ip to map your dapp with the testrpc container.

Example in javascript with web3.js

var provider = "http://192.168.99.100:8545";
if(typeof web3 !== 'undefined')
  web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
else
  web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(provider));

if(!web3.isConnected()) {
	console.log("Not connected");
} else {
	console.log('Connection successful with ' + provider);
}

For additionnal waw sexy such fun

After that, type this following line and replace YOUR_CONTAINER by the one provided in the previous response.

"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine" env YOUR_CONTAINER --shell=cmd

Docker-machine will answer you with some useful infos (IP of your container, and the last 2 lines, so put )

SET DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
SET DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
SET DOCKER_CERT_PATH=C:\Users\onlyyou\.docker\machine\machines\default
SET DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME=default
REM Run this command to configure your shell:
REM     FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine" env YOUR_CONTAINER --shell=cmd') DO %i 

Copy paste and run this last line as needed, don't forget to replace YOUR_CONTAINER

REM     FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine" env YOUR_CONTAINER --shell=cmd') DO %i
