# Official Chia Docker Container

## Basic Startup
```
docker run --name <container-name> -d ghcr.io/chia-network/chia:latest
(optional -v /path/to/plots:plots)
```

## Configuration

You can modify the behavior of your Chia container by setting specific environment variables.

To use your own keys pass as arguments on startup (post 1.0.2 pre 1.0.2 must manually pass as shown below)
```
-v /path/to/key/file:/path/in/container -e keys="/path/in/container"
```
or pass keys into the running container
```
docker exec -it <container-name> venv/bin/chia keys add
```
alternatively you can pass in your local keychain, if you have previously deployed chia with these keys on the host machine
```
-v ~/.local/share/python_keyring/:/root/.local/share/python_keyring/
```

To start a farmer only node pass
```
-e farmer="true"
```

To start a harvester only node pass
```
-e harvester="true" -e farmer_address="addres.of.farmer" -e farmer_port="portnumber"
```

#### or run commands externally with venv (this works for most chia XYZ commands)
```
docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia plots add -d /plots
```

#### status from outside the container
```
docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia show -s -c
```

#### Connect to testnet?
```
docker run -d --expose=58444 --expose=8555 -e testnet=true --name <container-name> ghcr.io/chia-network/chia:latest
```

#### Need a wallet?
```
docker exec -it chia-farmer1 venv/bin/chia wallet show (follow the prompts)
```
