We've included a docker-compose that packages a full working environment with Memento and the Ethereum Lite Explorer by Alethio.

Step-by-step guide

Prerequisites

• docker-compose

• wget

Set up the environment

Start by creating a folder on your machine to host all the memento-related files. This can be placed anywhere.

Just keep in mind that it requires some disk space as it will also host the volume for the database.

mkdir memento
cd memento

The next step is to download the config and docker-compose file from github. You can do that manually or using the following commands:

wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/docker-compose-explorer.yml
wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/config-sample.yml
wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/lite-explorer.config.json

At the end of this step, your directory should look like follows:

~/memento ❯ tree
.
├── config-sample.yml
├── docker-compose-explorer.yml
└── lite-explorer.config.json

0 directories, 3 files

Next step is to create a folder that our docker-compose will mount as a volume for the memento container. We'll use this to host Memento's configuration file.

mkdir -p .volumes/memento
mkdir -p .volumes/lite-explorer

Copy the config and edit it as needed.

By default, the values for postgres and redis are correct for using with docker compose.

mv config-sample.yml .volumes/memento/config.yml
mv lite-explorer.config.json .volumes/lite-explorer/config.json

# you can use any other text editor here
vim .volumes/memento/config.yml

Start everything

docker-compose -f docker-compose-explorer.yml up -d

Open the dashboard to check indexing progress

http://localhost:3000

Open the Lite Explorer and start exploring

http://localhost:80
