Quickstart

Purpose

The purpose of it is to set up a complete private network for Tron development by Docker.
#Build

Dependencies

Minimum Hardware Requirements

  • CPU: 64-bit x86_64, 2+ Cores
  • RAM: 4 GB+

Environment

  • The latest version Docker
  • Node.JS Console

Pull the image using Docker:

docker pull trontools/quickstart

Run the container:

docker run -it \
  -p 9090:9090 \
  --rm \
  --name tron \
  trontools/quickstart

📘

Note

  • The --rm option automatically removes the container after it exits. This is very important because the container cannot be restarted; it MUST be run from scratch to configure the environment correctly.

Verify the image is running correctly:
After entering the command form shell1, contents like shell2 will be displayed

docker exec -it tron ps aux

📘

Note

  • If Redis-server, nodes, or the event server are not running, exit and rerun the container.

View the log of a full node:

docker exec -it tron tail -f /tron/FullNode/logs/tron.log

Usage

Options

Use -e flag to pass environmental variables to the docker. Example:

docker run -it \
  -p 9090:9090 \
  --rm \
  --name tron \
  -e "accounts=20" \
  trontools/quickstart

List of options:

  • accounts=12 sets the number of generated accounts
  • useDefaultPrivateKey=true tells Quickstart to use the default account as accounts[0]
  • mnemonic=wrong bit chicken kitchen rat uses a specified mnemonic
  • defaultBalance=100000 sets the initial balance for the generated accounts (in the example to 100,000 TRX)
  • seed=ushwe63hgeWUS sets the seed to be used to generate the mnemonic (if none is passed)
  • hdPath=m/44'/60'/0'/0 sets a custom bit39 hdPath
  • formatJson=true formats the output
  • preapprove=... pre approved proposals (see below for more help)

Pre-approved proposals

To pre-approve, for example, getMultiSignFee and allowMultiSign, you can run the images as:

docker run -it \
  -p 9090:9090 \
  --rm \
  --name tron \
  -e "preapprove=multiSignFee:1,allowMultiSign:1" \
  trontools/quickstart

HD Wallet
==================
Mnemonic:      treat nation math panel calm spy much obey moral hazard they sorry
Base HD Path:  m/44'/60'/0'/0/{account_index}

Add accounts

curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/admin/temporary-accounts-generation?accounts=5

Fixed accounts

Two ways to use the same accounts each time:

  • Passing a mnemonic to the docker
  • Using accounts-data/accounts.json, put your own private keys in the privateKeys array, and run the container.
{ hdPath: 'm/44\'/60\'/0\'/0/',
  mnemonic:
   'grid wire envelope task bright aerobic fragile mother asset wish harvest wild',
  privateKeys:
   [ '27c2a416b135d52337725955359a08cd70a73844b1d58b909ecd42cd749a4acb',

  more: [] }
if [[ ! -d "accounts-data" ]]; then mkdir accounts-data; fi

docker run -it -p 9090:9090 \
  --name tron \
  -v $PWD/accounts-data:/config \
  trontools/quickstart

TronBox 2.1+ configuration

Configure the tronbox.js file as:

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      privateKey: 'da146374a75310b9666e834ee4ad0866d6f4035967bfc76217c5a495fff9f0d0',
      fullHost: "http://127.0.0.1:9090",
      network_id: "9"
    }
  }
};

TronWeb configuration

Instantiate tronWeb as following:

const TronWeb = require('tronweb')

const tronWeb = new TronWeb(
    "http://127.0.0.1:9090",
    "http://127.0.0.1:9090",
    "http://127.0.0.1:9090",
    'da146374a75310b9666e834ee4ad0866d6f4035967bfc76217c5a495fff9f0d0',
)

Interact with the private network is by using TronWeb from the container:

docker exec -it tron ./tronWeb

RPC

Set the ports when starting the docker image to interact with the private network via RPC.

docker run -it -p 50051:50051 -p 50052:50052 \
  --name tron \
  trontools/quickstart

📘

Note

  • Running TronBox can put a lot of stress on the local network. If the FullNode is busy, it returns the "SERVER_BUSY" error. If it does, just repeat your command.

Version

#You can see which version you currently running executing
docker ps
#If you want also to know which version of JavaTron is used by Tron Quickstart, run
curl localhost:9090/wallet/getnodeinfo | grep 'codeVersion' --color
