Example Use in Docker

One option for running this blockchain program is to use Docker. Follow the instructions below to create a local Docker container:

1. Clone this repository
2. Build the Docker container

$ docker build -t blockchain .

3. Run the container

$ docker run --rm -p 80:5000 blockchain

4. To add more instances, vary the public port number before the colon:

$ docker run --rm -p 81:5000 blockchain
$ docker run --rm -p 82:5000 blockchain
$ docker run --rm -p 83:5000 blockchain
