Node Setup Guide

1. Setup Docker

Start Docker by running

dockerd

docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up

2. Setup Bitcore Node Config

docker ps

# Get IP Addresses of the Dockers 

docker inspect deviceID | grep IPAddress

# Enter your docker device ID in place of deviceID

# Replace the hostname with that respective IP address of your docker in Bitcore-test.config.json

mv Bitcore-test.config.json Bitcore.config.json

3. Start Bitcore

npm run node

Example Config files
