Let´s first check the version we have. The first time you run this command, the polkadot docker image will be downloaded. This takes a bit of time and bandwidth, be patient: ```bash -docker run --rm -it chevdor/polkadot:0.3.14 polkadot --version +docker run --rm -it chevdor/polkadot:latest polkadot --version ``` You can also pass any argument/flag that polkadot supports: ```bash -docker run --rm -it chevdor/polkadot:0.3.14 polkadot --chain alex --name "PolkaDocker" +docker run --rm -it chevdor/polkadot:latest polkadot --chain westend --name "PolkaDocker" ``` Once you are done experimenting and picking the best node name :) you can start polkadot as daemon, exposes the polkadot ports and mount a volume that will keep your blockchain data locally: ```bash -docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v /my/local/folder:/data chevdor/polkadot:0.3.14 polkadot --chain alex +docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v /my/local/folder:/data chevdor/polkadot:latest polkadot --chain westend ``` Additionally if you want to have custom node name you can add the `--name "YourName"` at the end ```bash -docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v /my/local/folder:/data chevdor/polkadot:0.3.14 polkadot --chain alex --name "PolkaDocker" +docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v /my/local/folder:/data chevdor/polkadot:latest polkadot --chain westend --name "PolkaDocker" ``` ```bash -docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v /my/local/folder:/data chevdor/polkadot:0.3.14 polkadot --rpc-external --chain alex +docker run -d -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -v /my/local/folder:/data chevdor/polkadot:latest polkadot --rpc-external --chain westend ``` if you want to connect to rpc port 9933, then must add polkadot startup parameter: `--rpc-external`. -**Note:** The `--chain alex` argument is important and you need to add it to the command line.
