How to run Containerfile inside node-template?

Question

There is Containerfile inside substrate-node-template. What command should I use to run this file. Is the file is similar like DockerFile?

I try to run using docker build -f Containerfile -t node-template:latest . command but I got this error.

Answer 1

# copy the compiled binary to the container
COPY --chown=polkadot:polkadot --chmod=774 node-template /usr/bin/node-template

In fact, this line tries to copy ./node-template to the container. Since you are in the root dir, you should change your directory first.

cd ./target/release
docker build -f ../../Containerfile -t node-template:latest .

Answer 2

yes is similar to a Dockerfile and you can build/run as expected.

docker build -f Containerfile -t node-template:latest .
docker run --rm -it node-template:latest

Note: Notice that the Containerfile copy the binary from the current path.
